Salvation Army Kettle Day kicks off Christmas season world wide
Salvation Army Kettle Day Friday starts the holiday drive with red pots at stores and corners. Middletown shifts Kettle House to Hills Department Store due to mall work while other locations include Twin Fair and Kroger. Brig. Robert Baker targets a $16,000 goal as 2,000 letters go out to supporters. Helen Hayes serves as national chairwoman in her second season. The 82nd year marks the kettle tradition begun in 1891 in San Francisco to fund Christmas dinners for the needy.
