Support The 1960 UJFC Campaign Charles Ooldsmltb Home For The Aged Annual Meeting Scheduled Sunday Dr. Ralph E. Dwork, director of the Ohio Department of Health, wiil be guest speaker at the ajinual meeting of the Columbus Jewish Home for the Aged, Sunday, April 24, at 2 p.m. at the Jewish Center. "Planning for the Future," the theme of the annual meeting, will be enhanced by the reports of Aaron Zacks, campaign chairman of the new Home; Robert Weiler, building committee chairman, and Mark Feinknopf, architect for the new Home. Herbert Levy There are 600,000 Jews in Israel and 26 overseas countries badly in need of assistance. They are looking to us for that assist¬ ance. Are we going to let them down? It is up to us—who can give so much and sacrifice so little—to see that these homeless, ragged, hungry and discouraged Jews find their place in the sun, a sun that shines so benevolently on our Columbus community. We can render our vital- aid by con¬ tributing now to the United Jewish Fund and Council campaign through our proper division. The X960 drive is divided into two funds: a special fund to speed up the lag¬ ging processes of absorption of 345,000 im¬ migrants in Israel and the regular fund, which meets the current budgetary needs of United Jewish Appeal beneficiary agen¬ cies. With the aid of our dollars, the United Jewish Fund and Council can help accom¬ plish the following: • Support 45 local, regional, national and overseas agencies. • Speed construction of modest hous¬ ing in Israel to remove 60,000 immigrants from tin and canvas huts. • Provide additional farm machin¬ ery, irrigation, livestock and power badly needed by 130,000 Israeli farmers. • Provide better employment in Is¬ rael than just bare existence. •i Afford welfare, medical and other social care in Israel for tens of thousands of recent unabsorbed immigrants, the aged, handicapped and chronically ill. • Make available welfare and e d u- cational aid, including vocational training, to more than 210,000 needy Jews in 26 overseas countries other than Israel. • Provide settlement and welfare services for 5,000 Jewish immigrants to the United States in the New York metro¬ politan area. We cannot fail our people, in Co¬ lumbus or anywhere on the globe. Help now, if you have not already done so, hy making your pledge to the United Jewish Fund and Council campaign. Charles C. Goldsmith, General Campaign Chairman The one characteristic that has sus¬ tained the Jew in his 2,000-year-old strug¬ gle for survival is an absolute refusal to bow down before the most overwhelming odds. Somehow—no matter how much ef¬ fort was required — the necessary job was done. So it is that we can face up to the al¬ most overwhelming needs today of Jews here and abroad and organize to meet those needs. In Columbus we help through the United Jewish P^und and Council. Jn our previous campaigns, we helped more than two and one-half million peo¬ ple recover from the grim assaults of war and persecution and begin the long road back toward dignity and self-respect. Thousands of others—many in tin and tar paper immigrant shacks in Israel—still await our assistance. The facts of hardship in Israel and in this country have been made plain enough. How well we respond to these facts will be a measure of our maturity and our Jewish conscience. In Israel, every third immigrant finds himself ill-housed, or without special social or welfare care when he requires it, or without a full opportunity to earn his own living, and with only a bleak future for his children, who grow up with a re¬ stricted chance to secure a higher educa¬ tion and the opportunity to better them¬ selves. We must remember, too, that despite Israel's bright and shining progress the past dozen years, three stark problems re¬ main unsolved. • Israel has not yet secured peace. • Israel is not yet economically se¬ cure. • Israel has not yet absorbed the di¬ verse populations which have immigrated from nearly 70 countries. In Columbus, too, the additional de¬ mands upon our social agencies have made it mandatory that we provide them with extra funds for expansion. The only thing asked of us is money. Not our blood, not our strength, just money. Certainly in the midst of our great blessing in living our lives in peace in Columbus, we can spare our needy bro¬ thers some money. If you have not yet made your pledge to the 1960 campaign, do so as quickly and as generously as possible. Every cent is vital to our goal. As long as a single Jew anywhere in the world cries out for help, our funds will be needed. It is the very least we can give. Herbert S, Levy, President, United Jewish Fund and Council ABE WOLMAN; president of the organization, will give the annual report at the short busi¬ ness meeting. Emil Wtisserstrom, chairman of the nominating com¬ mittee, will present the report of his committee for officers and members of the organization for the year 1960-61. Rabbi David Stavsky, of the Beth Jacob Congregation, will give the Invocation. Dr. Dwork, the guest speaker, Is a Licentiate of the Royal Col¬ lege of Physicians and Surgeons. He received his. medical educa¬ tion In Great Britain and Aus¬ tralia. A Master of Public Health degree was awarded to Dr. Dwork in 1949 from Columbia University. DR. DWORK JOINED the Ohio Department of Health In 1950, serving as cWef of the Division of Tuberculosis. One year later he was made chief of the Division of Chronic Diseases. In 1954 he be¬ came assistant director of the Ohio Department of Health and was appointed to his first five year term of director on Nov. 8, 1954; he was reappointed for a second term on Nov. 8, 1959. Dr. Dwork is a fellow of the American Public Health Associa¬ tion and a member of the Ohio Public Health Association. Cer¬ tified by the American Board of Preventive Medicine In the spe¬ cialty of Public Health, Dr. Dwork is an associate professor in the Department of PrevenUve Medi¬ cine, Oollege of Medicine, Oliio State University. Mrs. Jack Resler and Bobert L. Mellman are serving as co-chair¬ men of the planning committee for the meeting.

Dr. Rajph Dwork Reform Sisterhoods Confab To Convene United Jewish Fund and Council 40 South Third Street Columbus 15, Ohio CA. 1-5181 AT UJV. UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.

B¥ MICHAEL SHASHAR (Copyright, 1960, Jewish Telegraplilo Agency, Inc) Russians are justifiably proud of their theater, described by many critics as the greatest In Europe. Theater-going is a popular form of entertainment, the tickets being of a standard price and within reach of most people'a purses. Here is to be found a truly classless audience with people sitting in the front stalls seemingly dressed in a manner more suited to a football stadium. For us, our vlsist to the theater in Leningrad, as elsewhere, held a certain Jewish interest because of the many Jews to be seen in the audience and on the stage. Our white Jerusalem skull¬ caps made us a prominent group, easily recognizable by Jewish theater-goers. Few actually spoke to us, but their whispers and looks made It blatantly obvious that they Icnew whence we liad come. THERE WERE some who broke through the barrier of si¬ lence, either out of curiosity or because of an Irresistible urge to speak to fellow-Jews from a far away country. I recall the young couple who stoppeii us as we were about to return to our seats. "It is good to see you," aaid the boy. "We tiave never seen Israelis before, keep strong!" Then there was the man of about 40 who drew us aside tn the foyer and told Ua that our shoes needed repairing. "I am a shoemalcer," he said, and handed us a note upon whloh hla address was scribbled. This was his way of telling us tliat he wanted to talk. Never will I forget the dumb expression on the face of the usherette who handed ua a pro¬ gram. "God bless you," she whispered in Yiddish. These were minor Incidents but they reveal¬ ed a great deal. We had a moat unusual ex¬ perience at a symphony concert In Leningrad. As tourists we were given front-row seats In full view of the orchestra. The mualcians filed in ohe by one and began tuning their Instruments. MOST OF them scanned the concert hall in search of fami¬ liar faces; but there were some who did not llff their gaze from our three seats, eyeing us conUn- uoualy from behind their scores. The conductor strode onto the platform and took his bow. As he was about to cllhib the ros¬ trum he noticed our skull-caps and looked directly at Us. A glance at his name on the pro¬ gram confirmed his Jewish ori¬ gin. We soon became adept at rec¬ ognizing Jews by the simple de¬ vice of what we called "The SkuU-Cap Reaction." To the Gentiles our skull-capa went un¬ noticed—just another piece .of strange tourist attire. The JewHi however, recognized our caps wltli an Immediate Instinctive re- aponse. Once, In a restaurant, we were subjected throughout tho meM to the stares of a young man who was obviously Intrigued by our headgear. He eventually came up to our table and lnvlte<i Us to' join him In a drink. He Intro¬ duced himself as an agricultural scientist and a member of ths C3ommunist Parly. "Are there many Jews in the party?" I asked. He nodded and said with a sigh: "But lt'» a problem nevet- tbeless." He then raised hlis glass and called "Le Halm!" "That used to be my grandmother's toaat," lie said with a smile. ON ANOTHER occasion, while (eontlnnsd on p*g* O
