WE THANK YOU
fre died in the London Blitz, or was it Chungking...or Stalingrad?
Our children were left behind ...without care and shelter. Do you
wonder we have worried so?
Now we are at peace for we know they are warm with good cloth
ing. their little bodies are getting strong again. They even laugh
again. It is for this we thank you... for the mercy and generosity of
your dollars.
* * *
Good old American dollars...your dollars, Mrs. Mac
Donald... your dollars, Mr. Greenbaum. Silver dollars
from California... hard-bitten dollars from the farm coun
try...toil-won dollars from laboring men...crackling new
bills from Filth 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
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 S O.
They have given the “barbed wire legion,” the war
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. This year
instead of giving many times to these different agencies,
you give just once. So give generously; give all your heart
can spare.
