Silver dollars from California...hard-bitten dollars from the farm coun try... toil-won dollars from laboring men...crackling new hills from Fifth Avenue. Yes, your dollars have wrought miracles of human love and compassion. They have healed broken bodies, fed the hungry and sheltered the homeless on all the United Nations Fronts. ^They have provided hospitals, nursing homes, doctors 4 and medicine here and abroad^ They have helped care for the needy in your own home area...people who have been left behind on the home front while their sons or fathers are off at war. They have brought cheer and “home” to the men in our Armed Forces through the splendid work of the U SOJ. They have given the “barbed wire legion? the waft prisoners of all nations, a new lease on life. Seventeen great services are now a part of the National War Fund, which is joined with our community’s own war fund, thus making an efficient over-all organization serving on all three fronts...the Military Front, the United Nations Front and the Home Front.
