Bomber
Fund Over
$4,000

A large contribution from en-
ployes of the n. A. Woodwork
company, Ferndale, helped boost
the Detroit Times Buy Bomber
fund to we'll over $4,000 today
and the flood Of dollars Is still
pouring in from patriotic citizens.
The Woodwarth employees haze
a double interest in the bomber
fund. because they help build
bomberS. In the plant. they make
many atrpianc engine parts for
one of the biggest manufacturers
of planes in the country.
Carrying out the defense motif,
they sent their contribution of
SOL TO the Detroit Times bomber
fund in a "bombeE" a toy one
stuffed with currency and ''pi-
lotcd" by Margaret Maths of the
plants inspection department.
BOMBER NIGHT PROFITABLE
The bomber night" staged by
the Liberty bar at GAO Michigan
venue was very successful.
Seventy per cent Of the money
taken in by the bar was donated
to the Times bomber fund and
Vartevar Dedeian. the proprietor,
brought in S1OS.57.
An equally successful party was
the one held in Arena, Gardens
where - per cent Of the receipts
of the Detroit figure roller Skat-
ing title were turned in TO the
bomber fund. This amounted TO
$3.50, nice tidy sum to help send
bomber over Toxic.
From the employees OF the Mont
gomery Ward Dearborn store
came $126.75.
The employees Of the Chrysler-
AmplcX division came through
with a contribution of S215, taken
up in the plant at Mt. Elliott and
Harper avenues.
