"I am sure that your delibera¬ tions will have primarily In view the great struggle in which we are engaged, and I know that you will share fully in the hard work and sacrifice required for the total defeat of our enemies." Reports presented to the Zion¬ ist convention Indicated progress in various directions. Mr. Si¬ mon Shetzer, Executive Director, told the hundreds of delegates that "for the first time in our history we have achieved a 50,000 membership", which does not include the Order Sons of Zion and the Zionist youth groups. He aiso reported that the deficit of $85,000 of December 1, 1941, had been reduced to $35,000 as of September 30, 1942 and added that this "has placed us In a position reasonably to anticipate the complete liquidation of this onerous burden within the com¬ ing term, to enable us to carry on uninterruptedly and without impairment an effective Zionist program."
A report by Mrs. Pool showed that membership in Senior Ha¬ dassah has grown during the year from 80,139 to 85,250. Ha¬ dassah has sent to Palestine dur¬ ing the year $1,440,408.69 and Junior Hadassah has sent $78,- ¦134.20.
