United Jewish Fund Seelis Average Increase of 17%
Samijel Shinbach, 1004 Campaign chairman, and Fred Yenkin, presi¬ dent of the United Jewish Fund, announced this week that at a meetlrig of the Campaign cabinet and the Board at Directors, It was agreed that this year's goal will bo $100,000 more than last year. This decision was reached at an en- thusiaatic meeting of the men and women leaders held at the ^ resi¬ dence of the Campaign chairman last Thuraday evening.
Those present heard a message from William Shipley, co-chairman of the Cleveland Jewish Welfare Fund.
Mr. Shipley reported on his visit to Israel, where he participated in the October Jerusalem Conference.
Mr. Shipley str(^ssed the fact that funds are still, needed to enable thousands of Immigrants to become self-supporting and productive citizens. Other leaders referred to the increased needs for support by
our local Ond national agehcics. As a result of all these facts, it was felt that every effort should be made to raise $94,000 more than was achieved last year, which brings the goal to $650,000.
Mr. Shinbach, In commenting on tho goal, stated: "Thla Is a com¬ munity objective which we have voluntarily accepted. While the In¬ crease we are seeking amounts to 17%, we are sure that there are some people who may be able to do
better than that. We know that there are others who can only In¬ crease this much. We recognize fu rther that there are some who may not be able to follow this percentage increase. The people of Columbus have always responded generously. We are convinced that when they understand the needs they will do so again this year."
Mr. Shinbach paid tribute to the past Campaign chairmen: Robert W. Schlff, I. W. Garek, Leo Yas¬
senoff, Richard J. Abel, Troy Felb¬ el, Samuel M. Melton, Fred Yenkin, These men, he stated, have set in¬ spiring examples of leadership. Mr. Shinbach also praised the women for thefr wonderful achievements In all campaigns and for their splendid organization this year. Mrs. Richard J. Abel, chairman of the 1954 Women's Division, assur-, cd those present that the women this year will again raise at least 10%  of the amount sought.
