Local Wom^n to do Their Part in Fund Drive Campaign
Plans were laid for the Wo¬ men's Division of the United Jewish Appeal at a meeting of the steering committee held Tuesday evening at the'home of Mrs. Simon Lazarus, 172 S. Co¬ lumbia Ave., and presided over by this year's chairmen, Mrs. E. J. Gordon and Mrs. Jack Ros¬ ier, with Mrs. Lazarus as vice- chairman.
With the solicitation of funds opening In mid-May, tihe group Issued a call to atrtlon to all Jew¬ ish women in the city, upon whom rests the success of the drive. Mrs. Gordon explained the urgertcy of the need and the Increased effort which will be necessary to achieve an even larger quota than last year, as
well as the responsibility of every   Individual   woman.
Working Mong with the men's drive, It was stressed that only Independent and sacrificial giv¬ ing on the part of women will make the drive what it is hoped it will be.
"Merely dividing the hus¬ band's gift in two parts Is not what Is tiesired. Giving, froili one's own resources, by giving up sothe luxuries or even neces¬ sities out of one's allowance Is possible for most women, and It Is hoped that It is in this spirit that women will give," said Mrs. Gordon.
The tremendous needs of our people overseas together with the critical situation In Palestine
make It Imperative that we top last year's figures, according to Mrs. Jack Resier.
Among the special committees working for the success of the drive are Mrs. Alfred Kobacker, special gifts; Mrs. Harry Gold¬ berg, Mrs. JRobert Blashek and Mrs. Louis Madison, dinner committee; Mrs. Harry Schwartz, speakers bureau; Mrs. Joseph Schecter, kits; Mrs. Allan Tar¬ shlsh, publicity — who together with the following make up the steering committee: Mesdames Theodore Simson, WHUam Schlft, Harry Kaplan, William Wasserstrom, Allen Gunder¬ sheimer, Sam Schlonsky, Joseph Hoii^;how, Morrey Sher and Leo Kessei.
