...citizens of Ann Arbor will hold their community-wide rally which will be the send-off for the $77,500 USO-Community Fund campaign which begins its general solicitation Monday. All residents of the city are invited to attend this rally, for which there will be no admission charge and at which there will be no solicitation, to hear the inspiring program which has been prepared. It includes:
Two Guest Speakers
RICHARD WILSON
who for several years was manager of the United Press Bureau in Manila.. Prior to that time he was stationed in Honolulu. A few days before Pearl Harbor he flew from Manila to Hong Kong and when that city fell was interned by the Japs. He returned to the United States on the steamer Gripsholm and since has been lecturing in this country.
GLENN STADLER
who was in charge of the United Press service in Berlin for three years. He was one of the last correspondents to leave the Third Reich before the United States entered the war. Like Mr. Wilson, he has been lecturing in cities in this country since his return. He, too, is on leave of absence from his duties as a staff member of the United Press.
Music for the Rally Will Be Furnished by
THE 50-MAN UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN MEN'S GLEE CLUB
and the
50-PIECE ANN ARBOR CIVIC ORCHESTRA
"SOLDIER...WE WILL NOT FAIL YOU"
This bright eyed child will be protected and have her chance to fulfill the promise of her youth--freedom and security...
BY HELPING OTHERS
“WE WHO GIVE, receive more than those to whom it is given, because in a measure it atones for the fact that we are well fed, nurtured and amply clothed while within our gates our fellow humans are existing miserably.
"We must therefore break our bread and share it and, while regretting that our contribution is so small, consider it the greatest sacrament that men know.”
"HE LOOKS TO US"
History has shown few equals of his courage, nor a stouter barricade against a common foe!
He is giving his life with all the strength of Holy Purpose for the Freedom of Mankind.
His eyes look back from the Black Tragedy of war and destruction shining with faith annd confidence that until his task is accomplished on the Battle Front, we here in Ann Arbor will maintain the Health, Security and Spiritual Strength of his people on the Home Front.
We must give—we at home must pledge to match this courage and sacrifice. Our battle line runs through every home, every office--every factory and every farm. It is a daily battle until the fight is won!
The destiny of this and every coming generation, the preservation of our Heritage of Freedom, lives in our Pledge—to Give.
