YOUTH DIVISION'S MAJORS APPOINTED

This system proved ao .effective that Beverly Schecter and Marvin Kay, who are tho-*co- chtjLirmcn of the 1960 drive, have decided to use thl^ system again this year.
The following people have been chosen to be assistants for the 1956 drive: general drive assistant, Dick Wolman; workers' dinner assistant, Sally Abel;.secretarial assistant, Lois Polster; publicity assist¬ ant, Julie Berman; speakers' bureau assistant, Qary Cheses.

Twenty-one leaders In tho Jewish community have been given tho honor and responsibility of serving as vice chairmen of Special Gifts Dlviaion of tho United Jrwi.fh Fund, according to announcement by Aaron Zacks, Division chair¬ man.
Organization of tho group of vici^ chairmen was compictcd last wrek under the direction of the four co- chairmen of Special Gifts. Including Herbert Schiff. Harold Schlffman. Edward SchU'zingor and Sum Sch¬ lonaky.

Ben Lurle, Morris L. Mattlln, Dr. Paul D. Meyer, Lawrence Polster, Allen Schulman, Gilbert Slegel, Emil Wasserstrom, Abe Wolman. Ben Yenkln and Dr. Maurice Zox. "It gives me pleasure to an¬ nounce the participation of theae leaders in our effort," Zacka stated In making the announcement. "I know they ail feel keenly the re¬ sponsibility we aa Jews have thia yoar, whon wc are confronted with the neceaalty of raising the largest amount of money over required.
"Qf the half-million persons In 26 countrlea the United Jewish Ap- peoJ muat aid this year, more than 125.000 arc children. In addition, we hope that our campaign will enable 45,000 Jewish people to leave North Africa for the refuge of Is¬ rael, and we expect to do .our part In continuing tho welfare programs wo support in that country. At the aame time wc cannot, diminish o\ir support for our local, national and other overseas programs."

HOW ATTITUDES CHANGE
There was a time, and not >o long ago, that crippled children were kept in baclt l)edrooms and hidden (rom relatives, (rienda, and neigh¬ bors. Th(^r parents felt ashamed and actually believed that they were to blame for their chn37en!«.handlcaps.
Today that attitude la dunged and crippled children have been t)iought "out of the dark" and 'into the light" through spectallxed eate, treatment, and rebabiUtation. Thli) change, whloh Is making productive citizens out of the handicapped, has been brought about by organizations among whlcb the NaUonal Society (or Crippled Chil- dt«sn and Adults, Inc., and its 1.M0 Easter Seal affiliates across the na¬ tion are leaders.
THEBB ABE IM EASTER SEAI. units in Ohio, including 73 county societies for crippled children which are associated wltb The Ohio Society (or Crl(ipled Children. Tou probably have contributed to one ot tlieir annual Easter Seal campaigns.
With new medical discoveries ^d techniques making such strides In tbe rebabiUtation of the crippled, thero are many more who can bo helped this year. At the same time services tor crippled children continue to grow more costly each year. B\ind8 are desperately needed to continue and expand' the care and treatment to reach aU of our crippled children.
Saster Seal contiributiona have proved that crippled children can be rehabilitated Into tax-paying, rather than ,tax-supported,  citizens.
T.I. SUNDAY SCHOOL PUNSSEDARIM
Four separate sedarlm will be held in the T. I. Sunday School Sunday. Mrs. Kr&us's klndergart- nera will have a class-room seder, as will Mrs. Tracht's first graders. In that way, the routine of the youngest children in the school will be least altered..
. Grades 2, 3, 4. and & wlU hold their seders In the assembly room op the second floor of thq, Educat¬ ional C«nter, The remaining. clas¬ ses, 6, 7, 8. confirmation and high school will hol4 seders In the soc¬ ial hall of tbe Temple properr
"The Sisterhood Sunday School committee, under the chairmanship of Mra. Qeorge Seigel, and a'group of USYers, will serve the tradition¬ al dishes sedarlm.

MItS. SHARWELL
Evening Chmn,
The policy groups of tho Wom¬ on'a Dlviaion of the United Jowish Fund are inaugurating . a now function for thla year's drive. On Wednesday. April 11, 8 p. m., will be an evening cocktail party for the women who will bo $100 con- trjbutor3 to this year's campaign. Mra. Sherman Sharwell is chair¬ man of that evening activity. Hor advisors: Mrs. Joseph Schecter and Mrs, Herbert Schiff of the Advls- ory Board. Mra. A. B. Welnfeld. will, bo hostess at her home, 225 N. Columbia, for the 1958 $100 minimum party..
It la the belief of the chairmen, and their Advisory Board and Steering committee, that there are many women who want to know intimately the needs, the complex and challenging altuations that exist for Jewa on the world ac^ne. and to -evaluate the Inatltutional agencies that receive funds from the Columbus United Jewish Fimd drive. The women who attend the home parly at Mrs. Welnfeld's on April 11 will be privileged to be a part of a smaller group and In the warrt\ atmosphere of a home meet¬ ing to receive the Inspiration and tho information that will give more meaning to their pledges.
MItS. SHARWELL urges all women who can join In thia group of $100 minimum contributors, that they call In to make arrange¬ ments to attend the meeting, to make this group a algnificant part of  the   1956  campaign. ,
Mra. Sharwell said, "It is an act of courage and of sharing in the best tradition of Jewish idealism to see the people of Israel opening their doors to the new w&vty-^t refugees from North Africa. It takes .only a few weeks for a hun¬ dred dollara to b" spent to assist In the care of aomc of these Im migrants, not too many daya for a child to get the care that JlOO can buy.
"The Israeli is sharing hla home while he knows that he must en¬ dure the greatest possible sacrifice to keep that home. Today we can do nothing to help In this except to give money. We ore asking that thoae women who have in the past been contributors to the fifty dollar function take special notlc^ of this new division and try to make themselves a contributor to Its ranks."
MRS. LEEMAN

MR«. MILTON LEEMAN is the t956 chairman.
