''Menorah''  Theme of 14th Annual Donor Affair
The seven - branched Menorah, symbol of B'nal B'rith for almost 110 years, heui been chosen by the Columbus Chapter of B'nal B'rith Women 03 the thema of Its 14th annual donor fund-raising function at Valley Dale Sunday, Nov. 23.
This theme will predominate In the glamorous decQratlona, center¬ ed about a hu^e, glittering Menor¬ ah, In whose reflection hundreds of men and women of our community will dance and enjoy a wonderful evening of entertainment, so that the lights represented by the Men¬ orah may continue to glow and shine for our people all over the world.
Each branch of the B'nal B'rith Menorah represents a phase of B'nal B'rith Service, and your con¬ tributions to the Menorah Ball will
ensure the continuation of such service by the CoLuinbuB Chapter. The lights of the Menorah repre¬ sent the following:
1. Youth — through A.Z.A. and B,B-G., through young men and young women'a groupa, B'nalB'rlth offers to our adolescents a positive program of education, training In community relations, and a better understanding of their heritage and their people. From our young peo¬ ple will come our future leaders, and our program helps* prepare them for that future.
2. Vouth — those of the poat- adolescent period, thronging the colleges and the business world, for whom, through our Hlllel Foun¬ dations, over 200 strong, we create a Home Away From Home, where the  positive values of Jewish life
are Interpreted and emphasized; through our Career and Vocational Counselling Service, we help pre¬ pare these not In college for gain¬ ful and satisfying employement.
8. philanthropy — with its creed of helping hand to all in need, re¬ gardless of race or religion. The National Jewish Hospital at Den¬ ver, the Leo N. Levi Hospital at Hot Springs, Beilefalre in Cleve¬ land—all these are part of our weapons in the battle against dis¬ ease and delinquency -all theae we use in salvaging broken bodies and broken spirits.
4. Brotherhood and Understand¬ ing — as exemplified by our Antir Defamation League, with our work in the schools, with other racial and religious groups, lii our par¬ ticipation   In  every    endeavor    to
bring the message of the brother¬ hood of man under the fatherhood of God to all Americana. This light of our Menorah will dispel the. darkness of hate and discrimina¬ tion, of civil and religious bigotry.
5. Americanism and Veterans' Af¬ fairs — educating our members In the bldsainga of our democratic way of life—and our pledge never to forget the sick and disabled sold¬ iers who gave their all to proiect that way of life. The beacon of^ur Menorah brings hope and courage to the boys In our armed forces.
6. Overseas Aid Program, with Us fiid for victims of persecution, tor the hand stretched across the seas to the oppressed of our people everjrwhere, through our Adopt-a- Famlly program, our Aid to Israel
