If any persons wish to make a gift or bequest for use in this area he m:iy make it to one of these banks or one of- the trus¬ tees.
There also is a distribution cornmittee. Membei's are ap¬ pointed by the president of Ohio Slate LIniversity. Ihe Probate Court judge, chairman of the board of Community F'und and the  trustee  banks.
<.'Olitrol Is Coii.iplete 'lhe trustee named by the donor is in c^omiiiete control of a d 111 i n i s t e r i ng Ihe prin¬ cipal fund. Hut at ilUer\^als, he will iiolily the Distriiiution Commiltee that income is a\ail- able for use. If Ihe donor sped fieii particular use for his funds, ajiproval of the distribution by the Distribution Commitlee is merely a formality. If the gift is not restricted, the com miltee uses Ihe income at Its di.scretlon anci notifies the trus¬ tee how it is to be used.
The Distribution Committee's function Is to direct expendi ture, of all unrestricted funds and to safeguard the proper ap¬ plication of funds held for spec¬ ific |)urposes.
If conditions change .so that literal compliance wilh the or¬ iginal restrictions made by the donor is unnecessary, undesir¬ able, inipracticable, impossible, or no longer adapted to the needs of the community, chang¬ es may be made by vote of four- fifths of tlie Dislrilmlion Com¬ mittee with approval iif two thirds of the Trustees Commit lee.
Tills provision is made, it is explained, for these rea.sons: ¦There ai'e notable stories of funds idle tiecause their speci¬ fied use has disappeared. There are some Inslllutlon.s- kept alive by funds that t'ould find much better use elsewhere. Times aij'l conditions may change, but there always will be something to be done for" the good of the eomniunlty".

Columbus' greatest United Jewish Fund Campaign was aiming for a victory finish as worlicrs in the Men's, Women's and Junior Divisions were striving to get in every pledge before the drive closes July l.lth. Reports trom the nation point to over-subscription in each of the cities conducting an appeal similar to Columbus Jewish cam* paign. With Columbus Jewry united in their efforts to alleviate the. needs of those less fortunate.- it is certain that we too shall go over the top before the curtain rolls down on the final drama of what we believe will be the most outstanding  achievement  in  fund  raising history.
