A refugee in the United States who has been helped to do his
part in the war effort by the National Refugee Service.
The United Jewish Appeal, recognizing that the future of the
Jewish people is inseparably linked with the survival of the chil-
dren, places emphasis on child rescue programs. The photo on the
left shows a young Danish-Jewish refugee in Sweden receiving a
pair of new shoes. The photo on the right shows a mother and her
child who have been settled in the Jewish Homeland in Palestine.

City of stalwart millions,
City of mighty heart,
Turbulent, storming, pulsating—
Eager to do your part;
Hark to the voice of the nation
Trumpeting over the gale,
"Is there, within our borders;
A city that dares to fail?"
City of brawn and of courage,
City of vision high,
Home of bold "destiny builders"
Now, as in decades gone by;
Swift were ye always to answer
Summons of want and of pain;
Now when the Cross of Red calls you,
Will it—Detroit—call in vain?
The War Chest cried out, "Thousands perish!
They suffer for shelter and bread!"
America answered, "We hear you,"
But DETROIT cut its purse strings and led!
The War Loan called, "Tyranny marches!
Countless planes, ships and tanks must we man.!
Buy Bonds—Bonds and BONDS, lest we perish!"
And, again, proud Detroit led the van.
The nation cried "Give me your metal
And tin for the fighting man's need!"
And behold—first among all the cities
Detroit took its place in 'the lead.
For Newsboy—for U. S. 0.—War Loan—
Good causes, whatever the sign,
Detroit has maintained its tradition
And stood as the foremost in line.
But now, city proud, you are challenged!
Will your banner no longer wave high?
Will Red Cross—the World's Greatest Mother,
Find you cold, as her sons bleed and die?
Awaken, Detroit! Quick—awaken!
Tradition and pride sound the call-
Give—GIVE to Red Cross! Be as always
First giver, first city of alli
