Friday, ApriI.23, 1941 THE JEWISH NEWS Page Sixteen 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 Flint is the third largest city in Michigan, and its Jewish -population numbers 1,800.
