Discussing the progress made lo dale bv the com¬ bined efforts of the Men's. Women's and Youth Divisions in the United Jewish Fund campaign, Robert W.

Not only overseas/needs, but local and national needs arc greater this year! The cost of maintenance and operation has in¬ creased, and along with it a greater demand upon the facili¬ ties of the various beneficiaries supported by (he United Jewish Fund," IVIr. Schiff stated.
