Detroit's SOS Drive Tops 850 Cities In Nation
1,465 Volunteers Collect and Pack
Supplies for Overseas Survivors
Recapitulating the outstandingly successful
SOS Drive in Detroit, the weary but happy SOS
committee, headed by Fred M. Butzel, honorary
chairman, and Mandell Berman, campaign direc-
tor, finds that enthusiastic De troiters contributed
more than a half million pounds of desperately-
needed Supplies for Overseas Survivors in the all-
community collection Sunday, Dec. 7 and a "mop-
up" drive Sunday, Dec. 14.
The committee members celebrated the dis-
patch of nearly a half dozen freight cars to New
York with a victory dinner last week, attended
by Helen Alpert, Mandell Berman, Mrs. Henry
Fechhiemer, Lawrence Fleischman, Barb a r a
Greenberg, Jewell Klein, Charles Levin, Goldie
Levinstein, Mitchell Mandeberg, Theodore Man-
dell, Dr. Martin Naimark, Norman Naimark,
Corinne Perlis, Mrs. Helen Singer, William
Shapiro, Charles Wetsman and Sol J. Schwartz.
• Speaking in behalf of the entire committee,
Berman said, "We want to express our thanks
to the hundreds of people who helped us put this
drive over the top. We can't reach everyone with
an individual thank-you, because the spirit of the
SOS became so enthusiastic that a lot of people
came down spontaneously to help and we don't
have their names. However, there are 1,465 peo-
ple who rate a sincere thanks from the Committee
—510 drivers,-250 jumpers, 50 truck drivers, 315
truck jumpers, 40 dispatchers, 40 assistant dis-
patchers and at least 260 warehouse personnel."
Listed for special acknowledgment were the
men's organizations, women's organizations, Sun-
day schools, youth organizations, donors of trucks
and others who provided equipment, photographs
and warehouse space. (See below.)
"We also want to mention our Christian neigh-
bors who showed true fellowship, not only in con-
tributing, but in pitching in to work" Berman said.
He described particularly one driver whose list
of families contained 19 non-Jews. Every single
one of these families gave, and gave generously,"
he added, "and they gave with an understanding of
the importance of the drive to people overseas."
Congratulatory telegrams from SOS leaders in
New York and throughout the country mention
that Detroit has done the outstanding job of the
year, putting this community at the top of the list
of 850 communities participating in the drive. Last
year, Detroit was fifth in the ranks.
