vThe ceremonies incident to the official installation of Zion Lodge's,newly-elected officers were simple hut impressive. They were coniluctcd by Brother Edwin J. Schanfarber, past president of District Grand Lodge No. 2, .who explained to each officer his respective duties and admonished the men comprising the new adniinisti'ation to be loyal and faithful to the principles- and the purposes of the LC.B. B. During the ciourse of the evening, short talks were made by each of the newly installed officers in which tbey i>Iedged their allegiance to the dis¬ trict Grand ¦ Lodge, the Constitution Grand Lodge, and the lodge which they are scrying.
ftabbi Lee J; Levinger and Max M. Fisher, of the Ilillel Foundation at Ohio, State University, made some announce¬ ments regarding the forthcoming produc¬ tion hy the Hillel Players of "Right You Are/' by the famous Italian playwright, Luigi Pirandello. Among others who gave short talks under the heading of "Good and Welfare" -were Allan Tar¬ shish, Samuel Levine,of Springfield, and Jack B. Wolstein. Mr. Ed Schanfarber then gave a five minute speech on the problems confronting the United Jewish Fund in which every conscientious Jew in Columbus is so vitally interested.
The new officers of Zion Lodge are as follows:—Justin L. Sillman, president; Ben Z. Neustadt, vice-president; Isadore W. Garek, secretary; I. B. Jashenosky, treasurer; Robert L. Mellman, warden; Harry Schwartz, outer guard.
"One of thc finest well-rounded pro¬ grams that thc Brotherhood has ever or¬ ganized" was the enthusiastic comment of Simon Lazarus, one of the Board of Trustees of thc Bryden Road Temple, after seeing the general set-up of the different type meetings to bp givcti by the Bryden Road Temple Brotherhood, for the 1930 season.
Other members of tbe Board of Trus¬ tees of the Temple, many business and professional leaders of Cohimbus, as well as leading members of the congregation, have all expressed their commendation and enthusiasm about the excellency of this year's outline of programs. Indica¬ tions arc that the attendance this year will greatly exceed previous years.
Max Herzberg;, chairman of the ticket committee and treasurer of the Brother¬ hood, has received fine reports from members of his committee about the ticket sale. According to present re¬ ports, more than two hundred season tickets have already been disposed of.
Tuesday evening, January 21st, at 6:30 will be the opening nieeting with the symposium on business conditions by three representative Columbus authori¬ ties as banker, as. manufacturer iand in¬ dustrialist, and as merchant. ^
Burton S. Wellman, vice-president of the Huntington National Bank, who un¬ derstands business conditions from, a banker's viewpoint ¦ with unusual au¬ thority, will present his comment on the future outlook of'business.
Tracy E. Thompson, lecturer at Qhio State University and Industrial Analyst for the Industrial Bureau of Columbus, iVill analyze business conditions from the angle of industry-.and manMfactl',r.iillSf;^-.^,^
Trent D. Sickles, manager of the Re¬ tail Merchants Association of Columhus,' will be the third .speaker in the syni- posium.
The musical, and entertainment pro¬ grams are  of- unusually high  standard,.
Jewry is not one merely for the rich man to execute and carry out but one that should appeal 'to every member of the House'of Israel who has a regular in¬ come, who works by the day, or receives money from,any source.
"The Board of Directors of the United Jewish Fund has been fully convinced,' declared Mr. Neustadt, "of the advan¬ tages of a fund like the one we have es tablishcd in this city. We not only save money through the Uinited Jewish Fund and avoid duplicity of effort, but we at the same time create tbe type of com¬ munal spirit that brings health and liar- mony into the community life of Colum¬ bus Jewry."
Mr. Kobacker in his talk asserted that alt sectarian linos are wiped out by the Community Fund idea which the Colum¬ bus Jewish community has adopted and carried out with such signal efficiency and success during the past four years.
"We now have an opportunity," he painted out, "to show the world that when the general interest and tlie self- respect of Columbus Jewry are at stake, prejudice and misunderstanding are rele¬ gated to the limbo of forgotten things. In our present drive we have all been brought together in one common brother¬ hood to combat our common foe—Mis¬ ery. We recognize that through the type , of giving as exemplified by the United Jewish Fund of Columbus comes ulti-l mately the greatest satisfaction to the giver and to all the beneficiaries."
Mr. S. M. Levy in his remarks was very optimistic  regarding  the  outcome of the campaign and told his listeners of fContinued OH page 4)
MRS. LEVINGER CONTINUES
HER SERIES OF BIBLE
LECTURES
"The Bible AsMhe WorW's' Greatest Story Book" was the subject of the second lecture given by E^lma Ehrlich Levinger in her course of Bible study, sponsored by Hhe Columbus Section, Couiicil of Jewish Women, last Wednes¬ day afternoon. Such classic stories as Joseph, Ruth, Esther and the Prodigal Son were presented.
"These are atnong the world's finest stories," said Mrs. tevinger., "not only for their literary quality and ethical In¬ tent, but for thcir univcraal appeal. The little child listening to his mptherV bed¬ time story; the scholar, tui^ning from the world's greatest literatuirej the devout religionist may all 6nd in these tales an endless delight and freshness. In the story of Joseph, the spoiled child; in the tale of faithful Rutli; in the parable of the Prodigal, which is the story of every wandering human soul, we find the same uncanny knowledge of human strength and human weakness."
The next lecture, "The Bible—A Po¬ etic Treasury," will be given at the Winding Hollow City Club January 22. Tick^-ts may be obtained from Mrs. Ar¬ thur Isaac, chairman of the Educational Committee.

HiUel Organization
OPEN FORUM
A very successful sessioij'^of the Open Forum of the East Broad' Street Temple was held on Friday, January 17th, with Frank V. Bayer presiding, ^
The Hillel Players' campaign aniong the ¦ local Jewisii organizations to secure their support as patrons for the forth¬ coming public production of "Right You Are (If You Think So)," by the fa¬ mous Italian playwright Luigi Piran¬ dello, which will be given January 30, and February 1, at University Chapel, got oflf to a flying start last Sunday. The first day of the campaign,, the forces of the business organization of the Players, headed by Max M. Fisher, brought, in subscriptions of thc S. A. P., the Junior Hadassah, and thc kose E. Lazarus Sis¬ terhood. Many other organizations joined since, and by all indications the campaign is on its way to complete suc¬ cess. . ,
During the next and finid week before the iwrformance all the remaining local organizations will be visited and re¬ quested to become patrons, ^'his year a special offer is made to societies, giving tbein opportunity to secure choice lots of seats at prices reduced in proportion to the number of tickets purchased, along with the iwtrouship, wbich is to be ac¬ knowledged on the prograins printed for tbe performances.
The Hillel Players, by their well- merited successes of the past, have gained unstiiitefl commendation of their critics and the general public, and pn the Uni ve^rsity campus have won an enviable reputation. They . are acknowledgedly unique in their pioneering efforts in the fields of the modern drama. Their next production, Pirandello's intriguingly so¬ phisticated "Right You Are (H You Think So)," which is a problem-play alone in its class for its novelty, is judged the most ai>ectacular effort the Players have yet attempted.
The production,is directed by Mr, Ray |.ee Jackson, well-known local dramatic coach. The campaign for patrons is in the haiids of Max M. Fisher, business manager of (he IJillel Players. His of¬ fice is at the Iibnie' of the Foundation, 96 E. 18th Avenue, Phone:~Wa. 1628.

Hadassah Completing Plans
For National Campaign For
Infant Welfare Fuiid
Local   Chapter   Is   Doing   Its Share. In Making Arrange- . ments Fpr Big: Drive
The 206 chapters of Hadassah, the .Women's Zionist Organization of America, are completing plans for an in¬ tensive national campaign for the Ha¬ dassah Infant Welfare Fund, which will be held through the month of February. Thousands of muslin "milk bottle bags", are being 'distributed for contributions uid these will be collected by committees during the campaign period.
A variety of social events, . such as ciird parties, teas and luncheons are scheduled. . Puppet shows, Punch and Judy shows and moving picture perform¬ ances will be part of the campaign pro¬ gram. The chapter meetings during Feb: I nary will center around this phase of Hadassah's work.
Infant welfare work in Palestine' is (lart of Hadassah's comprehensive pro¬ gram of preventive medicine. In the twenty-one health welfare clinics, lo- cited in central points throughout the country, mothers and babies are given nodern, scientific care. Lectures and (ianonstrations are given to the mothers, i'ud the Hadassah nurses follow up many i.'l tbe cases in the homes to see if in- ."^iructions are heeded.
Durlngf the past year approximately 11,001) mothers and- infants were cared ior in these clinics monthly. A year he- f^'fe the number of registrants was about (.>,000, The demand upon this servicp in¬ creases constantly, and accordingly the budget for this work is increased nearly every year. The budget for the current >l.ar is i!hJ5,500, an increase of $5,500 o/er that of 1928. Infant mortality lias been lowered in Pale,stine through Ha¬ dassah's infant welfare activities, and other Near Eastern countries, recogniz¬ ing the benefits of this work, have es¬ tablished similar clinics with HadassahS cooperation.
When Buddy L. Moser, of the ..class of '31, Ohio State University, was re¬ cently elected .National' Undergraduate President of Interfraternity Cpunciis, he. brought to Columbus what is i>erliaps the highest distinction- that' can bt awarded to an'uiidergraduate in United .States,"  .'¦"¦      ¦ ¦   ¦¦ ¦:¦,;..¦.
Moser is the first Jewish uiidergrad- uate ever to achieve this, honor, and his election is another, tribute to the vital part Je\y!sh students are taking in col¬ lege life: --
It was the. writer's privilege to be a classmate, for a time, of Buddy Moser. As a likable, happy freshman he was unafraid to tackle anything, and was-not at all -dismayed by the knowledge that he had to earn his own way through col¬ lege. The promise inherent in this young man soon sliowed visible results. .' .When a sophomore, Buddy, was chosen business managet of the Maklo, the uni¬ versity yearbook."" This first triumph has been followed by others until Moser can welHie called the tnost active under¬ graduate the university has ever known."
Some of his major activities have been. Sphinx, .men's senior honorary; Bucket and Dipper, junior honorary; Pi Delta l^psilon, honorary journalism frater¬ nity; treasurer and now president of In¬ terfraternity Council of tlie university* business manager of Strollers Dramatic Society; justice, of the student court member of. tbe student senate and var¬ sity debating team; advisory manager of Sun Dial, thc humorous monthly; and chairman of both Junior Prom and In¬ terfraternity' Ball.
Throughout his college career Moser has paid for his own education, through his talent in the writing and advertisnig fields. He combines the rare faculty of indefatigable energy with a rare per¬ sonal charm.
This fall Moser entered the college of law and will graduate in 1931. He in¬ tends to practise law in Columbus, His parents are Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Moser of Lorain, Ohio. He is a member of Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity and bas been .active in Hillel Foundation,
Bndkly Moser can well be cited as an example for ambitious young collegians. Success has brought hini friendships and friendships have revealed and rounded his cliaracter.—By I-eRoy Morris, '27, 0. S. U.
