WILL ADDRESS THE HADAS¬ SAH ON NOVEMBER 18TH
Parents, do you know how your boys and fiirls spend thcir leisure hours? You ouffht to know. This is a duty very In¬ cumbent upon you; you dare not shirk it.
* * * * *
We older folks have forgotten how to play. Still, wc wonder why wc have so little "pep" and why sickness overtakes ug so often.
* * * ^ ¦* *
Have you had a little spiritual or in¬ tellectual food to-jlay? We assure you that such delicacic^ will never cause Ras- tric disorders.
. * * * * ¦^ ^1
Why not cultivate the habit of smiling? Life is not demanding a "sorry counte¬ nance" of you. Smile; yes, smile, and help spread sunshine wherever you go.
* * * * If
If you are inclined to be economical, please do away with the pernicious habit of worrying. Worry is very, very ex¬ pensive. It costs you health and sorrow as well as money.
)ts * * * Uf Hi.
Do you profess to be a religious and God-fearinR Jew? Then love your neighbor, even tbough he is your strong¬ est competitor; for how can you profess to love God whom you have never seen when yow don't love one of His children whom you see daily?
* * If * * ^t
Among the many Jewesses who have rendered yeoman service to the cause of a greater and better Judaism, Miss Hen¬ rietta Szold of New York and Palestine stands out preeminently. Her manifold activities—begun at an early period in her eventful life—are to-day one of the brightest chapters in contemporary Jew¬ ish history. This woman is absolutely unique in her wisdom, in her idealism, and in her unfailing devotion to the high¬ est ideals of our ancestral faith. ******
Of course her greatest glory comes from the fact that she is the founder and honorary president of the Hadassah, women's branch of the Zionist movement, to which she has contributed more freely and generously of her time, talents, and strength than any other living Jewess. Wherever Palestine is discussed, there the nattie of Henrietta Szold is mentioned with blessings. As the mother of this great humanitarian organization which has brought health and healing to the Holy Land, she has been acclaimed by thousands as the outstanding. 6^ure in the world of Jewish women's affairs. "*.*¦.* * • . * .
'•¦ . Chronicle readers need not he in¬ formed here regarding the significance of Hadassah and the achievements of its founder and honorary president. This has often been elaborated on in these columns by various writers. Suffice it to say that the organization merits the respect and consideration of every loyal daughter .in Israel. It is in this spirit that I urge a greater interest among my feminine readers on behalf of the Colum; bus Chapter of Hadassah, headed by Mrs. William A. Hersch. I want to say that it should be considered a privilege as well as a duty to participate in the humani- tariaii program to which the Hadassah is .committed. Hadassah work is God's work. It has been recognized as such by Moslems and Christians as well as Jews throughout the world.

One Act Plays to Be Pre¬ sented by Hillel Players
Many Local Folk Are Looking Forward. To Presentation On November 20th I-
Patrons and friends of the Hillel Play¬ ers are already looking' forward to the program' of one act plays which these hard-working young students will present at the University Chapel oti tlie evening of November 20th. This, their first ef¬ fort of the season, will be made up of three one act plays of outstanding qual¬ ity, acted and coached by students, and presented with the brilliance and surety o^ touch that Columbus audiences have come to expect from this group.
The first offeringf ol the evening will be a Barrie Play, "Shall We Join the Lddies?" Unlike the other dramas of this popular English dramatist, this is neither seiitinictital nor fantastic. It is one of the cleverest mystery plays ever written; even after the curtain descends we are still in doubt over the real per¬ petrator of the crime. When it was pre¬ sented in New York some seasons past, prizes were actually oflfered to those of the audience who sent the management the cleverest solutions. A number of new Hillel players will appear in the cast, which is being directed by Maurice Rosenthal, well-known Hillel actor, and singer. Three of the parts will be as¬ sumed by. Hillel veterans, Lillian Rich- man, hitherto famous for her Jewish character studies, but now appearing as an English society matron; Earl Tucker, who after a number of "father roles" will appear as the vengeful host who tries to unravel the everiing's mystery; John Pixley, and Jack Effrat.
A very different drama is "The Tenth Man," coached by Jack Cassler, winner of two Hillel Play Contests and actor in a number of Hillel productions. This folk. play, by Elma Ehrlich Levinger,' won, first place in a recent Little Theatre contest. in Chicago, and was later pre^ seated at the Palace Theatre there. Here we find the same mystic atmosphere of "The Dybbuk" hut with an entirely dif' ferent problem. Nine Jews, in a little Galician village wait for a tenth man to complete their niinyan that they may hold their Yom Kippur services. The difficult and sympathetic role of the young stu¬ dent will be assumed by Al Effrat; Ben Rosenberg, Arthur Cohen and Emil Hei fetz, who did much to assure the success of "The Dybbuk," play prominent parts, Two newcomers are John Bristol (The Tenth Man) and Helen Nupuf (as the unhappy mother).
"The Cajun," by Ada Carver, has also been a prize winner in a numlier of na¬ tional theatre tournaments. It is a poign¬ ant little tragedy of life in a backwoods community of Louisiana, and is directed by Samuel K, Goldman, responsible for Hillel's past musical triumphs. Honors among the women are divided by Lpis Elman, who assumed several leading pjarts last year, and Lorraine Sachs, who
A goal of $751,458 was announced, Monday, for the eighth Community Fund campaign, Nov. 17-25, by Gen. Edward Orton, Jr., chairman of the campaign committee; The goal, determined after two months' consideration, by the budget committee of the needs of the 42 mem¬ ber agencies of the fund, is ^13,920 higher than the 1930 budget. This in¬ crease is due to the inclusion of $25,000 for emergency, relief, $9,080.of which is offset by reductions to agencies whose work is not affected by the present emergency situation.
"Every cent^ of this money must he raised," General Orton said, announcing the goal. "The Community Fund is faced with a situation far worse than any in its> history. The demands upon mem¬ ber agencies have increased enormously.: More Families Served
"The Family Bureau has served 11-14 more families during the past six months than in t^ie same period last year,' 119 per cent more money has been used for family relief; 4802 more bedside nursing calls have been made to patients unable to pay and there has been an increase oi 40 per cent in the number of families ap¬ plying Xo the agencies for aid, who never needed help before.
"The 2 per cent increase in the total budget is not indicative of the demands now being made on our social agencies.' It has been kept to this low figure be¬ cause the budgets of all agencies not do¬ ing relief work liave been pared to the point where they can barely exist. These savings have been thrown to the relief agencies; which have been allotted a sub¬ stantial increase. No part of the in¬ crease asked for will be used for salaries or administration.
Modest Goal
'We tiave set ourselves a modesvgoni," In campaigns held this fall, Kansas City raised $1,148,000; Seattle, $743,000; Can¬ ton, a far smaller city than Columbus, $403,257; Toledo, $922,500, and Cifoungs- town, $512,000. Columbus will not fail. ¦ ''We have built a stronger campaign organization than ever before and with the people of Columbus behind us we hope to surpass the goal. All money pledged above the -absolutely essential $751,458 will be added to the emergency reserve to be used, for relief during the coming winter. '
"This money will be used as it is needed, being given to the agency upon which the demands during the winter are greatest."
Large Item
Relief work is the largest single item in the budget, $415,092 having been al¬ lotted to this department. This sum in¬ cludes $166,410 for general relief work; $147,345 for medical and hospital work; $33,605 for care of children; $43,660 for
protection and shelter, and $25,000 for emergency relief.
The preventive work of the fund agen¬ cies, decreased in budget, by $31,000, aniouiits to $213,814, or 30.4 per cent of the total. The decrease from last year's amount is justified by fund authorities on the ground that in the present emergency actual suffering must be considered ber fore preventive work. The settlement houses will receive $78,368 of tliis amount and the remaining $135,446 will be used for boys' and girls' work.
Supervision, bookkeeping, collecting and auditing requires 3.8 per cent of the total, $27,024. This item includes all salaries, labor costs, office rentals and otlicr features of. the administration of the fund offices, an item comparable to the overhead of any business enterprise. Campaign Expenses
The campaign expenses are. estimated at $24,000. It is hoped to save Some of this item, fund authorities state. One of the greatest savings of the co-operative' community fund over the old plan in which individual agencies raised their own funds lies in the reduction of campaign expenses. Individual Columbus agencies sometimes spent as much as 15 per cent of their budgets in raising funds.
The budgets of the individual agencies, are as follows:

One of the finest and most inspiring meetings ever held in this city took place at the Ncil House Wednesday noon un¬ der the auspices of the Columbus Qiap- ter of Hadassah. People representing every clement in this community turned out in large numbers not .only to hear the guest speaker of the afternoon, Kabbi Felix A. Levy of Chicago, but also to learn more about the progress of Pales¬ tinian rehabilitation and the marvelous achievements of the Hadassah in the Holy Land. Conservatively speaking, there were over 360 guests including men as Well as women. Mrs: William A.

Address of Rabbi Greenwald Impresses Audience
At Monday evening's meeting of the local B'nai B'rhh held at the Progress Club, Rabbi Leopold Greenwald of the Beth Jacob Congregation delivered au in¬ spiring address oii his recent experiences and observations in the Holy Lan(l< He told of the wonderful progress that has !ii;irked the work of the Jewish up- builders of Palestine, pointing out that the Chalutzim have been an asset to the entire population. The rabbi also lauded the achievements of the Hadassah and declared that this organization has merit¬ ed the approbatiovi of the entire world. Various busines.s matters were also taken np at this meeting which was presided over by President Justin L. Sillman.
all of whom spoke very, briefly. The lat¬ ter two represented the local Zionist or¬ ganization, and the local junior Hadas¬ sah, respectively, at this meeting. A beautifiil musical program was presented by ¦ Miss Estelle Fisher who rendered several vocal solos accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Robert R. Reed. Follow¬ ing the singing of Miss Fisher, Dr. B. W. Abramson was called upon to say a few words on behalf of the American Jewish Congress which he represents in Columbus.
I Dr. Levy in his brilliant address touched upon many aspects of Jewish life and achievement throughout the world, stressing in particular what Jews haye done towards the rehabilitation ot their ancient homeland. He explained clearly and forcefully that the work of the Jewish Chalutzim should, elicit the respect as well as the co-opteration of ^nscicntious Jews in all countries bf the diaspora. He proved conclusively that there is no contradiction between true Americanism and true Jewish nationalism as expressed in the work of the Zionists and the Hadassah in Palestine. Dr. Levy made a stirring plea for Jewish self-re¬ spect and loyalty to the Jewish heritagt which has been the keystone of Jewish life for thousands of years.
He urged a greater interest in Jewish education, stressing the value not only of Jewish history, morals and ethics, but also of Hebrew as a living language and as a unifying force in Jewish Hfe. Ho pointed out in what respects Zionism makes a inan a better Jew, no matter whether ,.he is affiliated with an Ortho¬ dox, Conservative or Reform Congrega¬ tion.
"All who have visited the Holy Land," he declared, "are convinced that a great revival has taken place there, a revival which is bringing renewed hope and cour¬ age to Jewish communities in all corners of the world." He complimented the or¬ ganization headed by Mrs. William A. Hersch in Jhis city and expressed the fond hope that it would continue its la¬ bor of love and devotion to the highest ideals of Judaism. '
On behalf of the Hadassah Mrs, Wil¬ liam A. Hersch expressed the profound thanks of the organization to Dr; Levy for his kindness in consenting to be the chief speaker of the afternoon. "We hope and trust," she said, "that Dr. Levy will again honor us with a visit in the near future."
The meeting close<l with the singing of ''Hatikvah," the Jewish National An¬ them.
JEWISH EDUCATION MEET¬ ING AT THE HOME OF DR. B. W, ABRAMSON
An itnportant mueting was held at thi; home of Dr. B, W. Abramson, S81 Bulcn Avenue, Tueachiy evening lo discuss ways and nieans of advancing tiie interests of the Columbus Hebrew .School. A num¬ ber of representative Jews were present, testifying not only to their loyalty to this educational institution but also to their readiness to make sacrifices for it. Further details about this meeting Will be publisltcd next week.
Personality Plus In his "Outline of History," Mr. Wells essays to discount the career of Na¬ poleon. Of course, one can understand Mr. Wells' point of view. He is think¬ ing in terms of the social conscience of the liberal, and in that lexicon the nul- itarist is but an aggrandized gutmian. Yet I do not believe that Napoleon can be dismissed as easily as Wells would have us believe. Napoleon brought the sword, it is true, and for that, condemna¬ tion awaits him, but he evidenced also a remarkable personality that has had few parallels in the world's history—and yoit just can't wave aside a great personality, I Make a Discovery Why do I say all this? Because down here in these tropical regions- of Florida, I think I have uncovered the trail of a vital personality. Far from Napoleonic, it is true, but nevertheless unusual. The man is not living now, hut the Jewisii Historical Society should get busy and pursue the trail further. I can only give Dr. Adler or Mr. Kohler, a few clues, and for these I am indebted to Isidor Cohen, an old time Miami Jewish resi¬ dent—but these clues are enough to in¬ dicate that the state of Florida once h.ad as a member of its lawmaking body an unusual Jew.
Dancing as Boat Sinks The man's name was Michael and he figured in the annals of Florida some forty years ago. It appears he possessed a rather sharp tongue, and his fellow members of the Florida legislature rec¬ ognized in him 'one who was unafraid of anything below -the stars.
Once, Cohen tells mc, he met Michael on a boat. "If this boat were going down," said Michael, "I'd be dancing." There is Nietzsche for you.
At one time in the Florida legislature, he bitterly assailed another member.^^ "I would not condescend to spit on him," he exploded, refeiring to his colleague. What he actually said, was a little more unprintable, but it gives the rpjlgh idea. Immediately, the House was in uproar. From all sides of the house arose the cry that Michael must apologize. Finally, Michael arose.
"I will take back what I said. I said I would not condescend to spit on him. Gentlemen, I lake that back. I will con¬ descend to spit on him."
A Variation of the Story They tell a siinilar story, by the way, about Thad Stevens, the great Notthcia fire-eater of Civil War days.
On one occasion, he was very much op¬ posed to the nomination of a certain man to a postmastcrship. He went to Lincoln and expressed in his usual vigorous way his opposition.
"But," replied Lincoln, "don't you think he is honest?" ...
"Well, Mr. President, he wouldn't steal red hot stove."
The story got about and. there were de¬ mands that Stevens retract his statcmtnt. Filially,, he consented. He went to the President.
"Mr. President, I told you that so and so would not steal a red hot stove. I re¬ tract that. He would steal a red hot stove."
Meet Miami Pioneer I have been' spending some time with Isidor Cohen down here. He is, as I have said, one of the pioneer Jews of Florida. Indeed, one might say, he is the pioneer Jew. For he was here when Miami was nameless, when it was vaguely described as the region of the I3ay of Biscaync. There were a half dozen other Jews at the time here, but most of them left. Cohen stuck it out. He has written the official history of Miami. When Wm. Jennings Bryan re¬ sided in Miami—as he did in the liiit years of his life—Bryan frequently vis¬ ited Cohen and vice versa. Indeed, it was Cohen who induced Bryan to write an editorial in the Commoner criticising Henry Ford for his anti-Jewish phobia. Bryan and Cohen Bryan, says Cohen, was a great friend of the Jews, He really liked thein in¬ tensely. He was too big a man to try to convert them, yet at times, so intense W!is his faith in Christianity, that he would turn to Cohen and say; "Why, don't you see, Mr. Cohen, that your own Bible confirms what I have said?"
But he seldom touched on this note.
winter months, of course, any number of
Jewish celebrities may be seen. ,Tohn

I want to say that it should be considered a privilege as well as a duty to participate in the humani- tariaii program to which the Hadassah is .committed. Hadassah work is God's work. It has been recognized as such by Moslems and Christians as well as Jews throughout the world. (Continued on Page 6) /ARS.

One Act Plays to Be Pre¬ sented by Hillel Players Many Local Folk Are Looking Forward. To Presentation On November 20th I- Patrons and friends of the Hillel Play¬ ers are already looking' forward to the program' of one act plays which these hard-working young students will present at the University Chapel oti tlie evening of November 20th. This, their first ef¬ fort of the season, will be made up of three one act plays of outstanding qual¬ ity, acted and coached by students, and presented with the brilliance and surety o^ touch that Columbus audiences have come to expect from this group. The first offeringf ol the evening will be a Barrie Play, "Shall We Join the Lddies?" Unlike the other dramas of this popular English dramatist, this is neither seiitinictital nor fantastic. It is one of the cleverest mystery plays ever written; even after the curtain descends we are still in doubt over the real per¬ petrator of the crime. When it was pre¬ sented in New York some seasons past, prizes were actually oflfered to those of the audience who sent the management the cleverest solutions. A number of new Hillel players will appear in the cast, which is being directed by Maurice Rosenthal, well-known Hillel actor, and singer. Three of the parts will be as¬ sumed by. Hillel veterans, Lillian Rich- man, hitherto famous for her Jewish character studies, but now appearing as an English society matron; Earl Tucker, who after a number of "father roles" will appear as the vengeful host who tries to unravel the everiing's mystery; John Pixley, and Jack Effrat. A very different drama is "The Tenth Man" coached by Jack Cassler, winner of two Hillel Play Contests and actor in a number of Hillel productions. This folk. play, by Elma Ehrlich Levinger,' won, first place in a recent Little Theatre contest. in Chicago, and was later pre^ seated at the Palace Theatre there. Here we find the same mystic atmosphere of "The Dybbuk" hut with an entirely dif' ferent problem. Nine Jews, in a little Galician village wait for a tenth man to complete their niinyan that they may hold their Yom Kippur services. The difficult and sympathetic role of the young stu¬ dent will be assumed by Al Effrat; Ben Rosenberg, Arthur Cohen and Emil Hei fetz, who did much to assure the success of "The Dybbuk" play prominent parts, Two newcomers are John Bristol (The Tenth Man) and Helen Nupuf (as the unhappy mother). "The Cajun" by Ada Carver, has also been a prize winner in a numlier of na¬ tional theatre tournaments. It is a poign¬ ant little tragedy of life in a backwoods community of Louisiana, and is directed by Samuel K, Goldman, responsible for Hillel's past musical triumphs. Honors among the women are divided by Lpis Elman, who assumed several leading pjarts last year, and Lorraine Sachs, who A goal of $751,458 was announced, Monday, for the eighth Community Fund campaign, Nov. 17-25, by Gen. Edward Orton, Jr., chairman of the campaign committee; The goal, determined after two months' consideration, by the budget committee of the needs of the 42 mem¬ ber agencies of the fund, is ^13,920 higher than the 1930 budget. This in¬ crease is due to the inclusion of $25,000 for emergency, relief, $9,080.of which is offset by reductions to agencies whose work is not affected by the present emergency situation. "Every cent^ of this money must he raised" General Orton said, announcing the goal. "The Community Fund is faced with a situation far worse than any in its> history. The demands upon mem¬ ber agencies have increased enormously.: More Families Served "The Family Bureau has served 11-14 more families during the past six months than in t^ie same period last year,' 119 per cent more money has been used for family relief; 4802 more bedside nursing calls have been made to patients unable to pay and there has been an increase oi 40 per cent in the number of families ap¬ plying Xo the agencies for aid, who never needed help before. "The 2 per cent increase in the total budget is not indicative of the demands now being made on our social agencies.' It has been kept to this low figure be¬ cause the budgets of all agencies not do¬ ing relief work liave been pared to the point where they can barely exist. These savings have been thrown to the relief agencies; which have been allotted a sub¬ stantial increase. No part of the in¬ crease asked for will be used for salaries or administration. Modest Goal 'We tiave set ourselves a modesvgoni" In campaigns held this fall, Kansas City raised $1,148,000; Seattle, $743,000; Can¬ ton, a far smaller city than Columbus, $403,257; Toledo, $922,500, and Cifoungs- town, $512,000. Columbus will not fail. ¦ ''We have built a stronger campaign organization than ever before and with the people of Columbus behind us we hope to surpass the goal. All money pledged above the -absolutely essential $751,458 will be added to the emergency reserve to be used, for relief during the coming winter. ' "This money will be used as it is needed, being given to the agency upon which the demands during the winter are greatest." Large Item Relief work is the largest single item in the budget, $415,092 having been al¬ lotted to this department. This sum in¬ cludes $166,410 for general relief work; $147,345 for medical and hospital work; $33,605 for care of children; $43,660 for protection and shelter, and $25,000 for emergency relief. The preventive work of the fund agen¬ cies, decreased in budget, by $31,000, aniouiits to $213,814, or 30.4 per cent of the total. The decrease from last year's amount is justified by fund authorities on the ground that in the present emergency actual suffering must be considered ber fore preventive work. The settlement houses will receive $78,368 of tliis amount and the remaining $135,446 will be used for boys' and girls' work. Supervision, bookkeeping, collecting and auditing requires 3.8 per cent of the total, $27,024. This item includes all salaries, labor costs, office rentals and otlicr features of. the administration of the fund offices, an item comparable to the overhead of any business enterprise. Campaign Expenses The campaign expenses are. estimated at $24,000. It is hoped to save Some of this item, fund authorities state. One of the greatest savings of the co-operative' community fund over the old plan in which individual agencies raised their own funds lies in the reduction of campaign expenses. Individual Columbus agencies sometimes spent as much as 15 per cent of their budgets in raising funds. The budgets of the individual agencies, are as follows: Dr. Felix Levy Inspires Large Audience at Hadassah Doitor Luncheon 'Zionism and Americanism Are Absolutely Compatible/' De¬ clares Chicago Reform Rabbi One of the finest and most inspiring meetings ever held in this city took place at the Ncil House Wednesday noon un¬ der the auspices of the Columbus Qiap- ter of Hadassah.
