What's Happ f ning in Detroit
UY WAR BONDS NOW! This motto remains the
B
most important call for all citizens of all faiths,
especially for the remainder of the month . of April,
during which the country at large is asked to sub-
scribe $13,000,000,000 to the Second War Loan.
There is a familiar American saying that "money
talks." Today your money invested in War Bonds and
other government securities is heard on every fighting
front. It is heard in the sound of bombs. falling on,
Berlin . ... in the roar of heavy artillery on the North
African front .. . in the salvage whistle of bullets in
the New Guinea jungles. •
Right now we here on the home front are in the
final phase of the April Second War Loan Drive to
mobilize your money •- -
-into the greatest.
chorus of defiance
. . defiance to dic-
tators and destroyers
of human freedom.
During the final
week of this drive,
we in Michigan must
make certain that
we do our very best
to meet the state
quota of $362,500,000.
• •
If you have already
"Pass The Ammunition"
bought your Series
"E" War Bond limit of $5,000 and have additional
money that you can invest buy either Series "F" or
•"G" Government Bonds.
There are bonds to fit every need and every purse.
W. K.. Kelsey's Article on Jews
The article by. W. K. Kelsey, Detroit News Com-
mentator, on "No Help For the Jews," published on
the eve of the Bermuda conference, has attracted
•wide attention.
Mr. Kelsey proves in his article that he is very
.
well informed on the position of the Jew in the world
. today and the response given to Jewish pleas for help.
Unfortunately, he comes to the same conclusion
that many of us have reached—that most people give
'a deaf ear to Jewish appeals for help.
Michigan Oddities

its Jewish -population numbers 1,800. Myron

garten. born in 1906, is, according to the records,
the first Jewish child born in Flint.
