ILLUSTRATION: PHOTO:  ARNE KUHLMANN/Staff. Wendall Haley smiles as he accepts 
          a donation for the Salvation Army in front of Kmart at Crossroads 
          Mall. Haley says he enjoys his task because ``you get to meet a lot 
          of people.'' The Salvation Army Roanoke Corps is revisiting its 
          holiday tradition to raise money. Maj. Dan Delaney, commander of the
          Roanoke Corps, said the organization is about $100,000 in the hole. 
          Delaney blamed the harsh winter, sagging thrift-store sales and the 
          loss of a federal grant. The corps set a goal of $112,000 - $1,000 
          for each year the Salvation Army has been in Roanoke. color.
