All Divisions of the 1970 UJFC Campaign will meet next Sunday, Mar. 29, at 10 a.m. at the Esther C. Melton Community Services Building, to report on the progress of the current drive, now moving toward completion.
Sol D. Zell, General Chairhian of the Campaign, stated: "This will be an extremely important meeting, especially for the Advance Gifts Division. As we near the end of the Campaign, the prospects who have not yet been seen are even now boing con¬ tacted, and are being urged to attend the meeting next Sunday. Here; for the first time, many of th^m will be made aware of the dimen¬ sions of the current drive for funds:"
"Uiey will be toW pf the increased needs in our own - community, especially the. increasing costs of the same programs of our - agencies and  institutions,  such   as :; Heritage House, the Jewish Center, the Hebrew School,: Hillel, the Jewish Family Service,imd the many other , committer  and   functions I which go tb make up a good communityi and which are financed through the annual federated Caihpaign of the United  Jewish   Fund   and Council."
"We are asking these prospects to come. to the meetlhg," continued Mr. Zell, "so that they may also
leam at first hand of the critical situation of our people overseas, and especially of ' the crucial nature of Israel's desperate hours, as the government spends all its revenue on defense, and must leavO to us, the Jews of America and of tbe world, the respon¬ sibility for taking care of the humanitarian needs of the people who are still pouring into the country from places where Jews are not wanted, are discriminated against, are even being persecuted. Our job is to continue the rescue, rehabilitation, and education and retraining of ' these newcomers, as Israel makes their haven of refuge. a safe and peaceful one.''
Ben Goodman, Chauihan, and Gordon Zacks; co- chairman of Advance Gifts, are asking all Associate diairmen and their workers to attend the meeting, and to bring in all completed cards, as well as' to see that all prospects who have not yet made theu: gifts attend the meeting.

"As our Division finishes its job," stated Mr. Frank, "we are asking that all cards be turned in by ^day moming. We will be completing our solicitation within the next two weeks,
?l those cards which are turned in by the first of April will be put in the hands of a special' committee headed by Bemard Frank and Gerald Friedman, to finish the job."

reveals, the Libyan military regime, which came to power in a coup last Sep¬ tember, issued a new edict by whose terms a govern¬ ment official would take into custody assets and properties in Libya belonging to Jews "who have; left ' Libyan territory definitively." The report adds that this new law "is but one of a series_j>f- measures taken by Libyan governments since 1952 specifically directed against Jews and their properties." The effects of the law, the AJC report continues, will be
to hurt the 3,SdO Jews who fled Libya after June', 1967, under the preissure'of anti- Jewish riotsi and who still own property there.'Most of these Jews, the report states, still hold Libyan passports so it is unclear how the Libyan authorities will decide which of these Jews has "left Libyan t e ir r i tor y definitively."
In practical terms, the American Jewish Com¬ mittee document continues, Jews in Italy and el^where, who had moved from Libya, will not be able to use the

THE TRUTH WILL OUT
By Dr. Jerome Folkman .-^^
Rabbi Edward D. Kiner and I join in urging our community to give full and generous support tb the current appeal of the United Jewish Fund and Council.; The needs of our people at home and abroad have not been dimimshed; rising costs in an inflationary spiral -; must be c((nsidered by all of those who are devoted to; the cause of human welfare biit our support is especially necessary in the State of Israel.
There, it is a m after of life and death. Thb people of the State of iTael have managed to survive the greatest holocaust in human history. With (Jiod's help,. they live to testify ° to' the world against man's inhumanity to man. v
lliey have established a small but powerful outpost for democracy in the midst of an anachronistic sea of feudalism. This tjliey have achieved in spite of over¬ whelming odds and cynicism and indifference from those who ought to be their allies, if only from the standpoint of enlightened self-interest. " -
The State of Israel can expect little help from the United Nations or its members. The pedple of Israel can,rely only upon themselves, their insight and     t wisdom and their indefatigable courage. They rely oh us for fiscal help and spiritual support.
The hostilities that surround the State of Israel are    . really based on a despQtism that exploits ignorant - masses. If the people of the countries surrounding Israel were aware of^their own best interests, they : would see Israel as theh- greatest friend.  This enlightenment cannot be surpressed forever,
file truth will out! But until then, the State of Israel must survive. Through the United Jewish Fund and Council, we are privileged to share in this work, - truly a work of human-salvation..
Doctor IQner and I join with our cblleagues m calling for the complete and wholehearted support of the Appeal by till of our people. , ' ¦ v
