The pur¬ pose and promise of The Nation¬ al Foundation has been fulfilled — its first disease target was ellpilnated as a threat to the lives and weil-being of chUdren the world over. Mar<^ of Dimes fund contributed by the Ameri¬ can people totally supported the research that developed tbe Salk and Sabin vaccines which have brought paralytic polio under control.

SEX SUBJEOrS are still con¬ sidered taboo around many homea and boys and girls often leam more from '^friends" than from authoritative sources. The amount of mlslniformatlon is evi¬ denced by the many facts of mls- Inforraation expressed by young¬ sters. Because they believe that sex education should be primarily taught in the hoime, the Family Life Education Committee has asked Dr. Kaplan to give par¬ ents the knowledge and tech¬ niques of telling their children the "facts." THE FAMILY UPB Educa¬ tion series is sponsored by the Jewi^ Center and the Jewish Family Service and Is open to the connmunity. Dr. Jesse Eisen and Itlorman Melzl^ are co-chairmen of the series, while Samuel Stellman, as¬ sistant executive director of tbe Jewish Center and Murray Dan- (cootlniMd oa PAg« I) IN ANNOUNdNQ the appoint¬ ment Wise stated, "1 am deeply gratified that Mr. Matusoff will be serving as chairman of the finance council.

BRANDEIS BANQUET WILL HONOR GRANT, LERNER IS SPEAe "The announcement of the Ford Foundation's recent $6 million grant to Brandeia yjiiverslty Is especially gratifying/at this time, just before our Brandeis Univer¬ sity Club of Columbua dinner," reported Jack S. Resler, presi¬ dent of the organization referring to the event which will take place at the Fort Hayea Hotel on Sun¬ day evening, Jan. 6. Resier went on to say, "We're especially proud to have Dr. Max Lerner, Max Riohter Professor ot American Civilization and In¬ stitutions at Brandeis University, as our guest speaker for that nlglit. We're hoping that we'll have a large turnout to welcome Dr. Lerner." THE FORD FOUNDATION $6 million grant to Brandeia Uni¬ versity la to suijport its over-all academic development. The Foundation called for the funds to be matched on a three- to-one basis during the next three years. Brandeia, according¬ ly, must raise $18 mllUon by 1966 to earn the grant. THE GRANT ITSELF and the amount Involved are of great sig¬ nificance. Not only are Brandeia' academic ^programs immeasur¬ ably strengthened by the ISVjun- datlon's unprecedented offering to a small university, but It sig¬ nals that Brandeis has won a seat In the highest councils of learning In a/ far shorter time than even Ifs founders dreamed possible. The Idea ot the Bran- dels institution ia just US years old. Tho Brandeis Club of Colum¬ bua dinner Is scheduled to start at 7 pjn, with cocktails at 6:1B pjn.
