THANKS, GOLUMBUS!
"It is'gratifying to the leadership of the 1956 United Jewiah Fund campaign that In this time of crisis our Columbus com¬ munity leaders met their responsibility with the largest atten¬ dance and the greatest amount ever raised at the meetings which have already taken place In each of our Divisions.
"Wo take this means of thanking those who attended and gave so generously, as well as those who worked so diligently and gave so much of their time and effort to make the meetings tho outstanding success they were. We feci more than rewarded by the splendid co-operation of the entire community.
"We are confident that when till the other people are seen and when the final figures of the campaign are in, our United Jewish Fund will be able to say once again: Thank you. Co¬ lumbus, for a job well done."

"Many contributions were doubl¬ ed, tripled and quadrupled over laut year's pledges." Trt)y Feih*'l, president of the Fund, reported. "Some gifts jumped from $2,000 tn $4,000, others from $1,200 to $2,400, from $25 to $200 and $50 to $150. U was. one of the most exciting meetings in the history of the United Jowish Fund. It is proof that the people of Columbus, when they understand the need.s, will re¬ spond generously in a year of crisis."
Mr. Kahn, presiding at the din¬ ner, paid tribute to Mr. Zacka, as chairman .of Special Gifts, and to the four co-chairmen, Herbert Schiff, Harold Schlffman, Ed Sch¬ lezinger  and  Sam   Schlonsky.
"The highest aim of Judaism is to arous(! concern for tho welfare of till the people." Mr. Kahn said In his opening remarks. "Tonight each of us faces the greatest moral challenge since 1948. In democratic l.irael nearly 2,000,000 men. women and children face a contlnithig threat to their (.'xlstence. They must devote evirry energy and re¬ source they possess to aelf-pfeser- vntlon. It la our obligation, there¬ fore, to give enough funds to per¬ mit the immigration of Jews from North Africa and other countries in which they have no future. We must alao give Increased support to tho 40 agenclea In our cam¬ paign,"    .
The regular campaign gtml is $60(»,000-plua while the Special Sur¬ vival   goal   is  $140.000-pluH.
When word came that Herbert A. I Friedman, executive vic*>-elu\irman of the United Jewiah Appeal, could not fill hla scheduled engagomi-nl. tn ap(>ak at the gathering, * Mr. Kahn introduced Zvi Kolitz, laraeli author and producer of "Hill 21 Does Not Answer."
Mr. Kolifz electrified the aud¬ ience with his vivid di'scription of the ait nation in larael, describing hnu' the Arabs have menaced ita .safety through many aggreaslve nets.
¦Imi aelia are determined to de¬ fend themsc-lvi-!i against further at¬ tack." Mr. Knlitz said, "•ut the samr- time exerting every effort to in sure pea<'e for thttmaelvea and for the Middle Eaat.
