MERO OF 1949
The Campaign Worker
In the pages of this newspaper have apnefired the names of many Individuals who have given generously (4f time, labor and money toward the "United Jeviflsh Fund campaign. But one man 'above all others has earned -the admli-atlon and the gratitude ot the J^s throughout the world who are the beneficiaries of each local campaign and of the United Jewish Appeal. If a festive cere¬ mony could be appropriately planned, this man would have el¬ oquent speeches delivered In.his hpnor. The climax of the cere¬ mony would be reached with, the pinning on his lapel of some sulta'bly be-Jeweled emblem with this deslgnhtlon: H^o of 1949. The man npon whom this honor would be conferred hnn
many  names.    But  he ran   be  eaHily   Identified.    He  Is—tho
campaign wdrlter.
, It Is he who helps plan the campaign, rate the prospects, ar¬ range the. functions, bring out the attendance. It Is he who takes the good card and" the bad, thrust's down deep Inside his basic un- happiness libout making a plea to any other man, and, never¬ theless, urges a maximum contribution to the cause. It Is he who sets the pace with his .own gift, which out-distances his imme¬ diate resources. It is he who must make his peace with wife and chlidren for continuous absences oyer many Xvefiks. It is lie who preaches the gospel bf everytliing thai is decent and forward- looking In the Jewish commmiity. In short, he is the .symbol of all that is finest in American Jewry at Its highest moment of aspii-ation. ("He" is, of course, generic. It couid just a.-; weil be "She.")

Calling upon those in the Coiumbus Jewish community who haye not as yet subscribed to this> year's United Jewish Fund drive, Mr. Leo Ya.ssenoff, general campaign chairman, said that .the fate of thousands of homeless Jews rests in our fiands. We must re-double our efforts during the remaining weeks, of June was his appeal to the wprkers who are calling upon their assigned prospects. «
Although substantial progress is being recorded from day to day thru Increased subscriptions, we. cannot be too optimistic in these last weeks ot the drive, chairman Yassenoff declared.

Blood Donors Answer Mercy Call for Leukemia Victim
The value of Jewish people participating in the program of the Red Cross Regional Blood Center has proven its worth in a short tirfie. , - ,
I When it was decided last week to sendfive donors each week to the Blood Center at 30 E. Town St., thereby insuring • priority for Red Cross biood to all Jew¬ ish people in Frapklin County, It was not expected that an emergency would arise so soon.'
On Friday of last week, an ap¬ peal was received by the Jewish
Community Council to aid In getting donors for Magnus Mar¬ golls, age 32, of Dayton, O., who Is a victim of leukemia.
Margolls was transferred over the weekend from the Dayton General Hospital to University Hospital here, where he will un¬ dergo a series of 3(^ blood trans¬ fusions within the next few days In treatment of the disease.
As Dayton Is not within the region servlcecl hy the Colum¬ bus Regional Blood Center, the appeal was made to the Jewish
Temple Brotherhood Names Richard Abel
Among the first Ben B'riths who volunteered to donate blood were the men pictured above. Standing, left to right, are BUI ElKcnberg, Alex Stregevsky, Richard Grundstein and Gerald Rosen. Mrs. h. B. .Moorehead, nurse and staff aide. Is recording information -fi-om Donor Franl< Niitis, sealed.

Community Council for donors.
Anthony L. Schmleg, Center Director, guaranteed 12 plnts-of bipod to be used for Margolls on Monday and Tuesday, the J'irst two days of the treatment, and more If needed for this ¦ emergency.
The Dayton Red Cross Chap¬ ter offered transportation for donors from that city; and on Sunday, the local Blood Center was opened briefly for 10 donors from Dayton. Monday the Center was kept open one hour after the 7 o'clpck closing time, to ac¬ commodate 12 more donors'from that city.
In Columbus, at least 10 per¬ sons an.sweced a telephone ap¬ peal from' the office of B'nal H'rith by making donations on Monday. Others were sclreduled to donate for Margolls during the week.
This experience clearly shows the Imparlance to every .lewish family of participating In the Red Cross Blood Program. By sending five donors each week to the Blood Center, the entire Jewish* population of Franklin County will be given priority for Red Cross blood, if and when needed and in the amount need¬ ed, and at no cost for the blood.
Arty Jewish person needing ti-ansfilsions in any Frankiln County hospital, need only men¬ tion to his physician or hospital official that he Is of Jewish faith and Red Cross Wood will be available because of our partici¬ pation in this program.
Blood donor cards should be sigrted and returned to the B'nal B'rith office as soon as possible In order that the weekly sche¬ dule of donors at the Regional Blood Center can be maintained.
