JAN PEERGE WILL HEADLINE CONCERT SPONSORED BY ZION LODGE JAN. 16
The B'nal B'rith Zion Lodge of dolumlbus is sponsoring a con¬ cert In the Vol's Auditorium, Wednesday, Jan. 16, featuring Jan Peerce, the most celebrated singing  voice   of   our  time.
As the famous Me:tropolitan Opera Tenor, Peerce has been forced to extend his seosons in order to meet the many bids that have come for his services from countries as widely separated as Japan, Israel, and Russia. He has sung on five continents and was the first American artist to sinig with the Bolshol Opera In Mos¬ cow, Aside from hia usual chores at the Metropolitan Opera, which this  year   includes  performances
ot "Cavallerla" and "Don Gio¬ vanni", Peerce will also tour with the famed  Bach  Aria  Group.
The secret ot Peerce's versa¬ tility, of course, is his sense of stle that stems from the fact that he loves and appreciates, and sings all kinds of music. He lavishes just as much attention and care on a popular balleid, such as "Bluebird ot Happiness", as he does on "La Traviata", one of his  most famous roles.
He believes that music is either "good" or "t>ad" . . . not "pops" or "long hair". His versatility en¬ ables him to sing at Radio City Music Hall at  one  moment,  and

EVALUATE RESULTS OF UJA'S MISSION STUDYING ISRAEL
In a recent Jerusalem Post news release, the effect of the Eighth Israel Study Mission launching the United Jewish Aip¬ peal 25th anniversary celebration was reviewed. Over 160 leaders from Jewish communities throughout the United States visited Israel at this Important event.
Representing the Columbus Jewish conununity were William V. Kahn, Mr. and Mrs. Leon Schottenstein and Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Zacks. Their participation in this Mission stands ad a sym¬ bol In the vital Jewish national renaissance.
Just 59 years ago the Jews ot Homel, Russia, staged the first organized Jewish self-defense of modern times, against an attack by pogromists, starting a process which culminated in the estat)- lishment of the Israel Defense Forces.
The establishment of the United Jewish Appeal In 1938 meant, of course, that the leaders ot the various maior Jewish philanthro- pies then in operation in the U.S. saw that an unprecedented tasli of rescue, aid and rehabilitation faced the Jewish people — a task which would require united ef¬ fort.
And how magnificently '"those men and women — some of whom we are happy to have here today, as residents of Israel or as mem¬ bers of the Study Mission — rose to the task. In its founding year the UJA raised $15,000,000, as .ts. compared to the total of $7,000,- \ 000 raised the previoua year by Its three constituent organiza¬ tions — the United Palestine Ap¬ peal (today Keren Hayesod-Unit- ed Israel Appeal), the American Jewish Joint Dlsltrlbutioji Com¬ mittee and the National Refugee Service (then the National Co¬ ordination. Committee). In the years since, American Jews have contributed a total ot $1,367,000,-
