Short $45,000 of the Allied Jewish Campaign goal of $175,000, workers in the drives were given three extra days to make up the deficit.
The drive, originally scheduled to close yesterday, was extended to today, and will officially end with the luncheon of workers on Monday, at Hotel Statler.
With only $130,000 reported raised-the poorest showing made in the history of fund-raising efforts in Detroit-volunteer workers pledged not to stop working until the entire amount assigned for the drive has been subscribed.
