Thii month marks the beginning of our 35th year of continuous publication. It ii s lource of great foy to the publishers and editor that we have been enabled to weather the very severe storms of these years. We cer¬ tainly could not have done if without the loyal support and friendly cooperation of both the advertising constituency and our reading public.
We are pardonably prpud of the record we have es¬ tablished. We have published a dignified. c.l e a n. thoroughly honest periodical. We have played fairly with our public and have not compromised in the high standard which we set ourselves in the beginning. Then too, we are proufJ of the confidence which we have in¬ creasingly wen and continuously maintained—no less than of the goodwill towards the Jewish Chronicle, which is so manifestly extant.
> Very definitely, the Jewish Chronicle it an established, institution and recognized as a necessity in the well or¬ ganized ctammunal life of our city.
To all who have helped ut in the enterprise, to ail who liave encouraged u^ and supported us, we bespeak our thanks. To those who have not yet become supporting members of the family of tho Jewish Chronicle through paid subscriptions or supporting advertising, we once again extend a hearty invitation to join and help us. The more support of this kind that is forthcoming, the better our .publication can become, the more feature depart¬ ments we can run, the more efficient service we can render.
Apart from the material consideration, the Jewish Chronicle continues to be a service agency in the ever¬ growing Jewish community; and on that ImsIs primarily, no less than on the record which is ours, we do clalm-the in¬ creasing support of our communities.
Prompt payment of your subscription will be highly appreciated at this time.

GARY CHESES
Named Chairman of Youth Division
Gary Cheses, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Cheses. 2625 Bryden Rd., has been named chairman of the Youth Division of the United Jewish Fund drive.
A Senior at Bexley High School, Gary brings to his assignment a record of worthwhile and diversi¬ fied activities. He Is president of Kappa Tau Zeto fraternity, a. member pf his school's Student Council and Is a board member of YFTL.
Speaking for the youth of our community, Gary stated:
"There are too few situations where Oie youth of our communi¬ ty capitalize their abilities as eager, capable leaders and work¬ ers.
"We are acutely aware of the plight of Jewish youth In Europe and the Near East. The undeclared war being waged a- galnst our people Is denying them the right to exist.
"We rise proudly ond valiantly to meet tho challenge of Insuring life and freedom in new lands for these courageous youth.
"We shall work diligently side by side with other divisions of the 1987 United Jewish Fund to bring this tremendous program to a successful close."
At a mcotlng of the United Jewish Fund Campaign Cabinet, which Included more than 60 campaign leaders representing all of the major divisions, a goal of $825,000 was established. That is the highest goal ever set In the history of the Fund. Of that fig¬ ure, $S6S,000 represents the goal for the regular campaign needs ahd $280,000 for the Emergency Rescue Fund of the United Jew¬ ish Appeal.
William V. Kahn, chairman' of the Allocations committee. In pre¬ senting the needs of the regular campaign, pointed out that no re¬ duction in the cost of operation among the present beneficiaries could be anticipated.
In 195», $538,000 was raised for the regular campaign, which in¬ cludes more than 40 beneficiaries for local, regional, national, over- scos and Israel programs.
Those causes he stated, can be described as "the bread and but¬ ter" part of our campaign upon which- we have built our Jewish community and strengthened our¬ selves as Jews in Columbus, Unit¬ ed States and overseas. Adequate support of local services and their relationship to an ever growing community la important and well- recognized.
Center ¦ services muat be main¬ tained for all age groups and those with different Jewish in¬ terests; Jewish education for more than 20O children cannot be minimized, caro of tho aged at the Columbus Jewish Hpmo for Aged la easentlal, a Jewiah social and cultural "home-away-from- bome" at Ohio State University Hillel deserves adequate support. Columbua more than doubled ita quota of family units for the rcaottlement of New Americans, this year, particularly for Hun¬ garian rcfugcea.
On the national scene, Mr. Kahn ^ further explained, few In Columbus would want to see any of the national programs reduced and in some Instances would want to encourage the Improve¬ ment and expansion of these services, such as B'nal B'rith National Youth Services Appeal programs, the National Jewish Welfare Board, the Jewish War Veterans, the American Jewish Committee, B'nal B'rith Anti- Defamation League, Brandeis University, as well as others.
Significant' In the regular cam¬ paign, he stated, was the regular allocation of the United Jewish Appeal which in 1986 received »327,000i or 67.7% of the funds available for allocation. In 1987, the regular needs of the UJA In its overall budget are $105,000,000 In behalf of 826,000 persons who are not affected by tbe Emer¬ gency Rescue Fund.
Included In the regular ovor- I seas needs are Hebrew Universi¬
ty, 'Technlon Institute of Science, Youth Aliyah of Hadassah, A- mcrlcan-lsracl Cultural Founda¬ tion (formerly known as the A- merlcan Fund for Israel Institu¬ tions) and the National Council of Jewish Women.
In arriving at a goal of $565,000 ,for the regular campaign, which Is approximately 6% more than was raised the previous year, Mr. Kahn listed the following points.
1. TherO|^ppears to be no real Ecductlon In any of the needs of our present beneficiaries.
2. Approximately $6,500 more was allocated In 19S6 than was rolscd.
3. Minimal increases are re¬ quired to meet the normal rise in costs of operations to continue services on the same level as 1956..
4. In some situations, additional funds may be  required.
5. Provisions must be made for losses due to deaths, business re¬ versals, people moving out of the city,  etc.
Ira Hirschman. guest speaker spoke on the maximum support which American Jewry must give this year towards the $100,000,000 Emergency Rescue Fund of the United Jewish Appeal, to reacue 100,000 Jewis in peril and in flight.
Mr. Hlrachman, in presenting the situation drew dramatically upon his first-hand knowledge of the European and Middle East situation having been associated with the United States State De- parment during the past 12 years. '
Israel, ho declared, ia a bastion of democracy and weatern culture in the Middle East. It is the only country In the world towards which Jews seeking a haven can go and be odmltted Immediately. It is the only place where they are eagerly and readily accepted and  given  an   immediate  oppor¬
tunity to settle and place roota so that thoy can live In freedom, dignity and to enjoy decent stan¬ dards of living.
The $100,000,000 Emergency Rescue Fund is above and beyond tbe regular needs of the UJA. It has been accepted unanimously by thii leadership of American Jewry.aa an immediate require¬ ment In meeting the financial crises of the Joint Distribution Committee and the Jewish Agen¬ cy In their programs of rescue, relief, transportation and reset¬ tlement of the Jews fleeing Hun- - gary, jpoland. East European countries, Egypt and North .Afri¬ ca.
Mr. Hirschman emphasized that the doors to freedom are now opening. It would be a ser¬ ious default upon the part of A- merican Jewry if this ojpportuhity was allowed to pass without seiz¬ ing the advantage.
In open and full discussion, the leadership present approved an Emergency Rescue Fund of $260,- 000 as a minimum effort. Mr. Zacks, 1957 Campaign chairman, reported that from many person- all expressions he had received he was confident that the total goal of $825,000 could  be  reached.
