MRS. LEE ST^EY TO TALK BEFORE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL  GROUP
The eurrent membership drive of Zion Lodge, B'nai S'rlth, is to be given its initial spark this coming Wednesday night, Oct. 23, at 8 P. M., when the mem¬ bership committee meets at the home of Abraham Gertner, com¬ mittee chairman.
Workinig plans for the execu¬ tion of the six -week campaign win be explained at the Wednes¬ day ni^t meeting, Mr. Gertner announced, and Captains will be appointed along with their teams.
Pointing to the fact that Zion Lodge has always succeeded in surpassing its desired objective, the membership committee chairman voiced his belief that the campaign this year, dppite its short duration, will again go "over the top".
The house-to-house campaign which will be conducted on Sun¬ day, October 27th, depends for its success on every member of the Jewish community. Bach person must feel respotraible for the life of a brother in Europe. The wretched 1,400,000 Jews who remain. Ill-clothed and Ill- fed, are counting on the pack¬ ages we send them.
The SOS Caravan will stop at the home of every Jewish fam¬ ily to pick up canned foods and good used clothing. Pleas6 have your gift ready—the food stuff in one carton, the cloth¬ ing in another. If, by any chance, the Caravan . fails to stop at your house, take your donation to your Temple— it will be called for there. AI! these life-saving packages -will be speeded to Europe, where they will be distributed by JDC workers.
The SOS campaign is being conducted by all local Jewish women's organizations cooper¬ ating for the success of this worthy project. The SOS chair¬ men of the various organiza¬ tions are: Mrs. Charles Stein¬ hauser, Rosfe E. Lazarus Sister¬ hood; Mrs. Sol Rising, Ahavas Sholom, Sisterhood; Mrs. Hany Shifiti'.Ezras ,Jrp?hii)|i!„ ilrs. .H^\,

The membership drive, which ends Just prior to the second B'nal B'rith general meeting the latter part of November, will announce its results at the time when the installation takes place.
Sidney. L. Katz, President of Zion Lodge, expressed the hope that every member will do his utmost to stimulate membership ifi the Lodge. He has asked that every committeeman coop¬ erate to the fullest degree with chairman Gertner.

Co<;hairmen and workers in the Columbus Hebrew Sthool Building Fund Campaign will gather in the Hebrew School, next Tuesday evening,, Oct. 22, at 8:15, for their first report meeting since the opening of the Drive over fi week ago. It was announced this week by Dr. Max P. Kanter, president of the School.
Unofficial, reports to date have indicated strong support for this community project,- as Fund Workers . liave been recei-vlng contributions In excess of their expectations, and city-wide Jew¬ ish, organizations are pledging full cooperation to the Drive.
Building of this Hebrew School Is the best assurance of ultimately filling the Temples and Synagogues, . for children who are given acnple opportuni¬ ty to learn virhy they a^ Jewish, Jwill   ultimately   become   more
closely attached to ttje Jewish Community when they are ad ults.
With a daily attendance of over 100, the present Hebrew School is over-crowded with its 130 children. The new school will be adequately equipped to accomodate better than twice this number, although school officials anticipate that it will take three or four years to build its enrollment to thla \ number.
Board members hope that within a few years th6 Colum¬ bus Hebrew School may be able to follow Jn the footatepa of similar institutions in Clilcago, Cleveland, Detroit and many other large cities where ftlll. time educational facilities haVe' been made available to Je^vl3h children who desire this paro<!h- ial school type of education.
