'These, centers," declared Mrs. Zug¬ smith, "should offer hospitality and I many avenues of service to all -Jewish people, but the youn? people should ceive the first consideration. In many small communities, the integrity and the future of Jewish religious and social life depends upon such centers."
In her message, Mrs. Zugsmith fur¬ thermore suggests that in communities where there are no Rabbis, the Council Section should unite all Jewish groups
'eligious    services,    pressing leadership those men and women who qualified  to  conduct such  services with  revcrenV:e and  dignity. '
'The heart of thc Council's program,"
itinued Mrs. Zugsmith, "is a throb¬ bing and stirring blood-stream of the vital Jewish ideals. It feeds every tissue of the Council's organic body and en¬ ables the National Council of Jewish Women to stand before the world as one of the most vigorous exemplars of Juda¬ ism.
'Faith and Humanity,' our motto; our Committees on Religion and Re¬ ligious Education; 'The Jewish Woman,' the Council quarterly, with its articles Jewish questions; the Council pub¬ lications, among which are Musical Services for the Synagogues, a Study of Jewish Music and of Jewish Prayer, and
praycrbook for the Jewish deaf; the organization of religious schools - among the Jewish families on our farms and in the rural districts; religious schools in the Council Neighborhood Centers and Settlements; the distribution of a Jew¬ ish holiday calendar among colleges, j schools and institutions; oriianized cam¬ paigns against legislation which proposes the introduction of Bible reading into the public schools; and the annual ob¬ servance of a 'Council Sabbath,' to im¬ press upon its membership that Judaism and the synagogue are the sources of the Council's inspiration—these are the elements tbat make the Council's pro¬ gram so thoroughly expressive of Juda¬ ism and its message. They are influ¬ ences that shall ensure our or'?anization national and local leaders who under¬ stand the spirit, the thought and obliga¬ tions of their faith."
NEW YORK. — Accepting the office of State' Chairman for Illinois, Jacob Loeb, leading Chicago business man, outstamling commercial figure and vet¬ eran volunteer in all local, national and international humanitarian effort has the distinction of being the first to ''get on the job" of the hundreds of prominent men in this country who have offered their services to David A. Brown, in order to win overwhelming success for tho $15,000,000 United Jewish Campaign, of which Mr. Brown is" the national chairman.
Mr. Loeb, who was the Chairman for Chicago in 'the l!)21-22 $14,000,000 Appeal for War Sufferers, under whose leadership over a million and a half dollars was raised, and who became internationally famous during the course of that historic campaign, wound up his personal affairs on October 1st, closed his desk and moved over to the Chicago headquarters from which the campaign in Illinois will be conducted. The first telephone message that went if the Chicago headquarters from Mr. Loeb to Mr. B'rown was: "On the job from now on.   What orders?"
In these laconic words Mr. Loeb in¬ dicated that offices had been installed, personnel engaged and the efficient or-^ ganization which in past relief campaigns has functioned so perfectly in carrying Chicago "over thc top" had been set motion again, this time not merely to capture one great city, but an entire state, with hundreds of important Jewish communities. They indicated also that Mr. Loeb will give all his time, days and nights, for three months or as much long as may be necessary in order to win a success in this effort greater than any that had been achieved in that section of the country, in the past.
"That is Jacob M. Loeb all over," said Mr. Brown in making the an¬ nouncement, from the National Head¬ quarters of the united Jewish Campaign, Pershing Square Building, New York, of Jacob M Loeb's acceptance of the Illinois State Chairmanship. "He knows no half measures. When he gives him¬ self to a cause, he does it, completely, without reservations. He gives him¬ self mind, heart, body and soul—and those who know the vast energy of the man, his remarkablie executive ability, his rare gift of leadership, will, under¬ stand what that is bound to mean to
this
"That L could count on him campaign I knew within a few hours after my return to this country from my tour of the Russian Jewish colonies, Hardly had the newspapers printed the report of my arrival and the interviews which I gave to the press, at Quaran¬ tine, in which I described what I had seen and  sounded  the  call  for action.
than Loeb wired mc that I could count on him to thc limit.
"He went to work immediately. He arranged thc press conference 1 ad¬ dressed in Chicago and surprised me by bringing to it all of his.able lieu¬ tenants of ptist campaigns. He came on to Philadelphia with a delegation headed by Julius Rosenwald, a delega¬ tion filling a private car, to partici¬ pate in the famous conference, and was an important factor in its splendid suc¬ cess. I have called him a dozen times since, on the telephone, asking liim to do many things. His answer invar is: 'It will be done'.
"I am very happy that Jacob M. Loeb is working again side by side with me in this campaign. Its success pcnds upon men like him—its success depends on thc number of men whp, like Jacob Loeb, will shut down their desks, drop their personal business and make this campaign their sole business until we have gone over thc top. I am con¬ fident that his splendid example will be followed by many other leading Jews all over the country, who will shoulder the responsibility for local success in every state, in every city in the union, and in Canada."
The story of Jacob M. Loeb, as a leading figure in Jewish relief and reconstructive effort is rather unique. One of the greatest insurance men in this country, with offi:es occupying the best part of an entire floor in a caso skyscraper, Mr. Loeb,. besides his interest in local philanthropies ii important figure in Chicago's municipal affairs. He first came into public view as the "Fighting Chairman" of the Chi¬ cago board of education, and during his term of office belligerently and suc¬ cessfully resisted every attempt made by a corrupt machine to drag, the public schools into world-politics and utilize it as a source of, patronage. He weeded 'out all the. inefficicnts from the Chicago public school system, playing no favor¬ ites, judging every one on merit, and prevented the invasion of the classrooms by political hacks.
Early in 1921 he, with a few others, began a crusade to bring a'bout the launching of another war relief cam¬ paign and kept relentlessly at it until the national conference in Chicago was called by Mr. Louis Marshall and Felix M. Warburg which launched the Na¬ tional Appeal for $14,000,000 under Brown's leadership. This having been accomplished, Mr. Loeb closed his desk, as he is doing now, and had it moved over to headquarters, from which he conducted a campaign whose spectacu¬ lar features attracted nation wide atten¬ tion and were copied by other communi-

Beside the delightful entertainment which is in store for all those who come many important matters which have com^ up during the summer will be dis¬ cussed, making it most urgent that each member be present at this meeting.
