By FRED M. BUTZEL -
Vice-Chairman, 1944 War Chest Campaign
With the approach of Fall our War Chest campaign
is taking form. The 1944 needs of the USO, the various
war relief appeals, the Community Fund and the' Allied
Jewish Campaign will require well over
eight million dollars.
The Allied Jewish Campaign workers
and contributors will again have the satis-
faction of participating with all other
groups in the raising of funds for purposes
which are dear to all liberty-loving
Americans. We are expected to play a
. Fred M. Butzel
leading role in view of our long history
of fund-raising, acquaintance with philanthropic needs and
a deep interest in the welfare of our community, our armed
forces and our allies.
Last year the record set by our landsmanshaften and
trade groups was little short of sensational. Our Jewish
group Won and received recognition for its work and its
giving.
Contacts made in the War CheSt campaign are inval
uable for much needed understanding by and-of the Jewish
community in this great growing industrial city: Through
the War Chest our people are contributing directly to the
relief of our allied nations, and the Jewish needs occu-
pied countries and in Palestine are receiving support
a larger base.
I am convinced that in the forthcoming campaign we
will show even greater enthusiasm than last year and that
the Jewish contribution both in. money and in manpower
will be a credit to the Jews of Detroit_
