Your Gift is Needed

The annual Community Fund drive, starting with
special solicitation this week offers all of the people
OF lpSanti opportunity to have part in the war
chest well neghborly aid. 1t covers all agencies
at time. 1t YOU of proper aid and relieves
You OF separate solicitations for the funds
represented.
How much shall give?
This is a common question and good one. In the
budget this Year is included $1,000 for the war chest
This is entirely apart from local needs and is important
We must not fail the men in service They are giving
much more than anyone at home can possibly give The
$1,000 which Ypsanti is asked to raise is in keeping
with quotas assigned other cities and it practically
doubles the normal amount The answer therefore. to
the question How much shall | give" is at least
twice much last year.
Another approach is that the Ypsilant total repre-
sentS about s. per person average of So per fam
lily, if every man. woman and child in the CITY were to
subscribe Such representation is impossible 1t is
therefore necessary that must give much more
than their per capita share make up for those unable
to contribute. Some won't be able to double their gifts
of last year Others will have to make up the shortage
with more than double the amount contributed last year
The merits of the Community fund campaign are so
we'll known that it is hardly necessary to review them
further. You know the Young in service are max
ing tremendous sacrifice that they are giving their
lives, that families in bomb-torn areas are starving
women and children are suffering from wounds with
little or medical care You know these and many
other reasons why this call for aid to friends at
home and out ncghbors abroad should bring quick and
generous response.
Committee representatives will call for your contri-
button. They arc giving their time as we'll their
money. You can help by having a generous conribu-
ton ready and by giving chcerfully would if
YOU were in the streets OF a bombed city and could
tualy the suffering that your dollars will help to
relieve.

REGISTERING CHILDREN

The commentator that every
child in the United States be regis.
tered deserves action.
Air raids and other catastrophes
in time OF war can cause the separa-
ton OF children from their families.
The Office OF Civilian Defense is
asked TO establish a nationwide sys.
tenn Of registration that would make
it possible 10 re-unite children with
their parents and locate relatives
OF children in case OF the death OF
parents.
Registration OF every child to-
gether with fingerprints should
have been compulsory long ago. The
public could not be aroused 70 ID
vantages OF such close checking IN
time OF peace, but now that war
time appeal can be used. there will
be more interest in the plan and
less objection. Registration will
help in many ways. Fingerprinting
would help more. Taht. however, is
something that will probably be left
TO the future.
