Nutley War Fund Campaign Delayed by Paper Shortage
Nutley delayed war fund drive due to missing lists and printed matter delaying the kickoff last Saturday. The appeal mail went out Thursday to names on the registry with responses starting to come in yesterday. The finance committee urged all Nutley residents, especially those with no income, to donate at least one day’s pay to support the Red Cross, Home Protective League drillers, and seed distribution for home crops, with funds to be carefully managed by the Mayor’s Committee and Nutley Home Protective League.
