It was only a few words. . . . hard fighting words from the supreme commander of the Al- lied forces fighting in the European theater of war, and they were meant for every American, not just for the men who do the fighting and the men and women producing the vital mate- riel With which our enemies now are being driven back into their own backyards. Gen. Eisenhower meant for all- to do their share in the war effort, and the war effort means to fight, to work, to give from our own pockets to those causes which are a part of the great Allied endeavor. - 'The National War Fund offers opportunity to the American people 'to give—not lend—for our own and our Allies."

The National War Fund, Inc., is the centralized organization of which the War Chest of ,Metropolitan Detroit is a part, and covers more than two score of activities, - from supporting the USO all the way down to providing powdered milk for the downtrodden peoples of Greece. The NWF itself does not, carry on any relief operations. It acts as the financing body for established agencies which are members of the NWF. The_member agencies are the executors of these funds, carrying out their specific serv- ices. . In Detroit it is the War Chest, a consolida- tion of all the local, national and foreign relief agencies. Major organizations included are the Community Fund, Allied Jewish Campaign and Red Cross. In Detroit It's the Wai Chest In Detroit all these organizations have com- bined their efforts into one large fund 'gather- ing unit, thereby preventing duplication of solicitations which brings one caller 'to your door instead of three, four and perhaps a dozen.
