MPLOYEES of Allison Division of General Motors Plant No. 2 today joined the honor roll of local factory workers contributing to the John L. Sullivan Fund and boosted the total to $1580.65. ; : The Allison workers’ $119, plus the cbntributions of-other ‘good neighbors,” added another record amount for the one-day total. The day's list adds up to $494. The money will be used by The Times to establish a trust fund to further the-education of ‘the two Sullivan children and one yet to be born. The. fund was started after the children were left fatherless when John L. Sullivan, Indianapolis policeman, was slain last week in protecting his family against an intruder in his home. Aid for the fund spread. to many parts of the city as Indianapolis residents continued to open their purse strings on behalf of the Sullivan children, : Customers at the Banner Market, 2516 W. 10th St., dropped $28 into a coin container for * the fund. At the Sullivan Pharmacy, 2529 W. 10th St., customers filled a container with $29. Organizations that also made their own col- - lections and turned the money over to The Times today included employees. of Lane Bryant, the Indiana Motor Truck Association, Inc., employees of the C. H. Ellis Co. Inc, and employees of The Times mailing room.

‘While the fund continues to grow-each-day,

the amount still is far short of the money needed to give the Sullivan children a chance for the future. Every penny the people of In..dianapolis can contribute will be needed, You “can help, too, by sending whatever” you can spare to: The John L. Sullivah Fund, Indianapolis Times, 214 W, Matyland St. -
