====Salvation Army Officers Are Paid Warm Tribute====
Salvation Army soldiers, friends, and members of the local advisory board met in the Army's Citadel at Klondike, Thursday evening for a farewell party for Capt. and Mrs. Walter Guldenschuh, who will leave Lewistown next Wednesday to take charge of the Salvation Army work at [[Pottstown PA|Pottstown]].
\\ \\
Mrs. Robert Manning presided at the informal program before a group which filled the citadel's social hall. [[Paul Mackneer]] was at the piano for several special numbers.
\\ \\
The highlight of the affair was the presentation of a silver tea set by Dr. Eleanor M. Aurand, chairman of the local advisory board, and [[Robert Manning|Capt. Robert E. Manning]], representing the soldiers and friends of the Salvation Army.

[[Muldoon|Sgt. Maj. Charles Muldoon]] spoke for the senior corps and Mrs. Berton Folk on behalf of the junior corps, expressing the appreciation of the local soldiers for their work and associations with Captain and Mrs. Guldenschuh.

J.

\\ \\
He said of the Guldenschuhs that they had endeared themselves not only to the soldiers of the Army, but to the entire community because of their consecration and devotion to this ideal, quoting from a pamphlet of the Army: "No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."

Captain and Mrs. Guldenschuh responded to these words of appreciation and well wishes, expressing their thanks for the gift and their gratitude for the friendship and support of those among whom they worked, as well as for the interest and support of the community at large.
