$542,893.00 Pledged
By 4000 Donors
In 1954 Drive
Troy Felbel, president of the United a Jewish Fund, announced thljs week that ft8 Board of Direc¬ tors met recently and after con¬ siderable diacUBsion had agreed upon the allocations of the funds raised in the 1954 campELlgn.
Mr. Felbel paid a well-earned tribute to Samuel Shinbach, lOS-I campaign chairman and chairman of the Allocations Committee, for the fine work done in the drive re¬ cently concluded, which raised $542,893.49, stating, "This is a re¬ sult of which we can well be proud It matches the achievement of other leading communities In th? U. 6. and allows us to hold out* heads high, which ht^s been our consistent position In recent years
THE AMXXJATIONS Commit¬ tee members of which studied care¬ fully the programs and budgets of all the agencies that applied to us for funds, deserves congratulations on their work.
"It is never an easy job to budget funds; it becomes harder when less monies aro available while at the same time the agencies submit data justifying their own need for Increased support. We are convinc¬ ed that our Allooations Committee has well represented the wishes of our coliitributors In the execution of their responsibility for seeing that the funds contributed by more than 4000 people are allocated with- fairness and aa logically as possible so that the result will be the best use of tho contributions made,"
SAMUEL SHINBACII, as chair- man, presented the report of tho Allocations Committee. He stated that "the Allocations Committee was concerned with the extent to which each orgrinlzatlon was per¬ forming a valid socl^ welfare pur¬ pose entitling it to be considered a Gomm^unlty responsibility, its efficiency, and the proportion of Its budget which should logically be met by Columbus. Another Import¬ ant criterion entering into the de¬ cision was the evaluation of the interest and potential support a- mong our contributors.
The Alloc|itlons Committee and the Board of Directors studied in some detail the reports of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds who supplied the factual digests of the programs and budgets of the agencies. We hope all will agree that the final recom¬ mendations represent the best pos¬ sible compromise between the funds available and the requests of the agencies."
