Letter From Pessa
BY AL SEGAL
In your town, as in our town already, they're going to call on you soon about that quarter of a billion the Ignited Jewish Appeal is trying to collect. 'Fhe doorbell rings and a gentleman asks, "How much are you going to give this time'.'"
' "You may be thinking, "Here's the same bug back again, '^'ear after year he's at my door. It seems only the other day he was here on the previous drive." You feel you're quite tired of giving and giving. How long will this go on'? If you are old enough you remember exactly the time when Jewish giving on a grand .scale started. It was right after the first war began, in 1014, and German heels were trampling over Lithuania and Poland. -That's when you began really to give. Before that giving money for Jewish purppses was a simple matter of nickels and dimes. Your mother kept a tin charity box nailed to a doorpost in the kitchen. She gave it her spare change.   To give wa.s easy,  like buying
an Ice cream soda for a nickel.   .' '	
Now here's thai man back again on the mission ot which' there has been no end.since 1914. And how much does he expect to get this time? You say, well, he can't squeeze blood out of a turnip. You're going to tell him definitely that blood'Isn't to be squeezed out of a turnip, but you really don't tell him eveVy- thlng. The fact Is that your financial affairs have been pros¬ perous and.you aren't a turnip. But your wife has said this Is the year you've got to get her that mink coat. She feels she has put that mink coat off long enough, and now It's about time. She has been wearing that Per¬ sian lamb five winters, and she has said, have you any self- respect as a prominent business¬ man to let your wife be seen in  an  old coat?
Then you feel you should be getting u new C4ii'. You cant be seen any longer riding In the IIMI model — bought Just before llie war started—thaugll It still spins ulong and looks all right. People will be tJilnk- lug tliat Zlleh (If that's your name) is a selileppei' still run¬ ning around In a 1941 model. And to buy a new car Is a matter of $2000 at least.
Your daughter vflU be get¬ ting  maii'led  this  year.    You have  figured  out the cost of that.    There's tho wedding in tbe best hotel, the dinner fpr .  260   und   the   wl.no   with' tlM> meal,  to  say  nothing  of  the cMktolis   and   the   orchestra.' Yon figure It should cost $3Q00 Ip all. Now   this   guy   at   the   door comes along to.wring blood from a turnip. You say, "Brother, you came   to   the   wrong   party   If you're expecting anything much •  from me.   Did you ever try to wring blood from a turnip?" The man says, '"{Veil, we all got to make  sacrifices  In   times like .these.   There are all those dis¬ placed people In the camps in Gwmany—they're still captives even three years ^fter Hitler's
