Community Council
According to an announce¬ ment by President Robert L. Mellman, the Jewish Community Council will hold a regular quar¬ terly meeting at Schonthal Cen¬ ter next Thursday, 8 p. m.
Among the Items on the agen¬ da are the following: election of a Council secretary, considera¬ tion of a proposal that the Coun¬ cil sponsor a Columbus concert by the Israel Philharmonic Or¬ chestra; the question of whether or not community-wide fund raising, outside the United Jew¬ ish Fund, should be cleared through the Council.
Because of the Increasing mul¬ tiplicity of community-wide fund raising, this subject has become of vital concern to the welfare of the community, and the Ex¬ ecutive Committee of the Coun¬ cil, at its last meeting, has re¬ commended the appointment of a committee to investigate this matter, as well as solicitations by outside collectors, with a view to the ultimate adoption of a feasible plan of clearing such activities.
