(A more complete report will be published soon). There is an excellent opportunity to make the 1957 campaign the most successful campaign In Columbus his¬ tory."
He urged upon all to bring the campaign message to proapecta who have not yet been solicited. One outstanding fact, he emphasized, is that when contributors are acquainted, with £he serious need tor -funds this year, their response has been generous.
It Is imperative that every worker concentrate now on cleaning up all his pledge cards so that everyone has been given art oppor¬ tunity to share In this local, national and Worldwide philanthropic endeavor, and that Columbus can bo proud In what It has done In I supporting so well the more than 40 beneficiaries as well as the Emergency Rescue Fund of the United Jewish Appeal.
