The good work is about accomplished, and those who send in contributions today should designate what shall be done with them if they arrive after the truck fund is closed at the S500 mark if they shall be returned to the giver, turned over fo Mrs. Rood, or exactly what disposition Is desired. It Is likely that more than the required amount will come In. The good people of Rood and Jupiter who Initiated the purchase of a truck by public subscription are interested only in raising a fund big enough to get the truck.

A phase of the dnimntio entered yesterday when Mrs. Rex Munsell, wife of Adjutant Munseil of the Salvation Army here, made her personal donation of ten dollars to the truck fund. Mrs. Munsell has helped procure funds for innumerable persons, yet could not resist the appeal resting: In the plight "of a widow with eleven children wishing to be assisted toward helping herself. After all, that Is what honest folk wish.

They don't wish charity they wish to be put in a position where they can work and help themselves. As far ns Tho Post knows, Mrs. Rood never asked anyone for help. She probably was a much surprised person when she saw what was undertaken In her behalf. But those who understood the situation and knew that the family of an even dozen, from whom misfortune had swept husband and father In an accident last winter, stood to lose the contract for carrying the U.

S. mail from Jupiter to Rood and Indinntown, also knew that the widow's faithfulness to her flock deserved to be sustained. They appealed to The Post, and The Post is pleased to announce that the following contributions hnve been made, and that the truck is leas than llfty dollars short of realization: V. T.
