Columbus Zionists Open Ail-Out Drive For Membership
The Columbus Zionist District is out for 1,000 members .so as to be counted among the hun¬ dreds of thousands whose voice.s* win be heard al the United Na¬ tions Conference how meeting iii .special session at I,alte Suc¬ cess, N. Y. So declared Harry Schwartz, newly elected presi¬ dent of the district, In a state¬ ment this week to the Chroni¬ cle.
•faclt Sher, general chairman of the membership campaign, has Issuetl the following appeal to Columbus Jewry:
"With the Important political and economic factcjrs which will face the Yishuv In the coming year, it is highly important that there be an overwhelming repre¬ sentation of enrolled Zionists in American Jewry to swing their weight towards giving Jewish Palestine and Palestine Jewry a square deal in the troublous times that face them.
"Columbus Jews have always responded heartily to a call for succor of their distressed breth¬ ren both abroad as well as at home, but. It, is of the highest importance to the continuance of world Jewry as a Jewish community, that American Jews, stand in ail their mighty strength behind the political, economic and social a.spirations of the Zionist Organization and the Yishuv.
"Every Jew must be reclconed among the friends of Palestine. Every Jew in Coiumbua, who has. the slightest spark of consider¬ ation for the future of worid Jewry, must stand up and be counted—and that means being counted among the enrolled Zioriists."
