United Jewish Fund Organization Grows Stronger
Due to the Intensive organiza¬ tional activity of Rlcharii J. Abel, chairman of the 1950 Unit¬ ed Jewish Fund campaign, the coming drive promises to be one of the most successful In the his¬ tory of Columbus. Mr. Abel has surrounded himself with lead¬ ers who have shown their abili¬ ty In other philanthropic efforts.
This year the UJF campaign will be restricted to a tew short weeks of active solicitation; that is why It was Important for the leaders of the coming drive to know their job thoroughly and proceed with cautious speed.
Mr. Abel explained that "there are more than 200,000 refugee Jews In Europe, North Africa and the Middle East who must be transferred and settled in Is rael, as well as in the U. S., In the next elght-to-10 months. The transfer of these homeless Jews which must be, carried out this year be«au.se of the dire medical needs o f the.se Individuals, makes the 1950 drive one of paramount importance.
"Many of these rfefugees," he continued, "face disaster and death because they cannot con¬ tinue to live In countries where they cannot sustain themselves economically. Even to this day Jews in the Moslem countries of the Middle East are menaced
by Increasing persecution and descrlminatlon. Jews In many European coOntries are also suf¬ fering.
"This Is a race against time," Mr. Abel concluded. "We must have Uie funds to get our people out of these devastated and (re¬ stricted areas. Columbus 1 s proud to have such important leaders as David Cheses, Troy A   Feibel   Melville    D     Frank
Robert Gllck, Mrs. E. J. Gordon, Cye Landy, Ralph Lazarus, Mrs. Simon Lazarfj.s, Harry Lerner, Dave Levlson, Herman Luekoff, Mrs. J. S. Resler, Harry Roth, Charles Ross, Samuel J. Schlon¬ sky, Samuel Shinbach, SI Sokol, J. W. Steinhauser, Allan Tarsh¬ lsh, Robert Weiler, Herbert Wi.se, A. A. Wolrnan, Leo Ya.s¬ .senoff, A. 1. ¦yenkln, SamuefTT. Melton,    J.    S.    Resler,    Robert
Schlff, A. B. Weinfeld, Mrs. Sam¬ uel J. Schlonsky, Harry Gold¬ berg, Joseph Zox, Mrs. Wm. Wasserstrom and Mrs. Wm. Schlff to carry out this year's UJF drive.
Reports from Cincinnati. De¬ troit, Miami, Now Orleans, New Haven and other cities acro.ss the nation indicate marked Im¬ provements In the 19.50 .solicita¬ tions. For example. New Orleans
shows an Increase of 19% over lus 1949 figures. Other cities boast increases as high as 22%.
This tremendous response given to United Jewish Fund drives throughout the country dramatical'ty portrays the ur¬ gency of the need this year. It should serve as a pattern for forthcoming donations In the Co¬ lumbus UJF campaign.
