Gets Neeldes for Defense Emblem
Mrs. Charles Voelker (right), with 928 working hours for The Detroit News Needles for Defense Club to her credit gets the first club pin from Dorothea Ryan, secretary of the club.
Hundreds Eligible for Pins
Here they are - ladies - step right up and get them - smart little pins, neatly designed with red, white and blue shields and the initials N. F. D. for Needles for Defense. They are ready and waiting for everyone who has worked 25 hours for The Detroit News Needles for Defense.
The pins will be sold to members at cost - 36 cents - exactly. If you want them sent by mail add a two or three-cent stamp depending upon which postage zone you live in.
Hundreds of workers are eligible for these pins. Many in fact have worked hundreds of hours to their credit and may buy the pins upon completion of some small task which they now may have. Credits of members have already been published.
These pins have been made with a base metal not needed for the war. They are filled with enamel in the patriotic colors, another material not on the list of war materials, and are lettered in gold.
The pins are smart, small, about like a sorority pin - and will makr the wearer as a person who is proud to have done her bit to help a soldier or a war sufferer. Call at The News Friday or write for them at any time.
