This year, inure than ever, the women leailofs ha\'e volunteered to sec Ihe Campaign through  to Ihe i'm[ anil are already maKing plans   l""r  an   intensive  canvass. The goiil set  for the Olvision  is a high one, but  iho women are prepared tit show their htishands ,1 ihing or two when it comes to raising money for worthy causes. .As   leaders   of   (he   Wf/men's Division   of   the   Cnited   .lewish Ktnid  lasl   year,  both  Mrs. Cun¬ dersheimer   and   Mrs.     Schecter have demonstrated their abilities as executives and  a.s  very cap¬ able   organizers.      Cntler   their direction,   that   group   took   on new stature as a real social ser¬ vice   organization.      Tliis   year, these same women are showing their metal nmc again and Iheir untiring energies   in  organizing the work for the Women's Divis¬ ion, once more point to another triumph   in   their  achievements for the l!)i;{ tlrive.
In a sialemem this week, Mrs. Ciintlershcimer and Mrs. Schecter slated that the largest imssihle number of wo¬ men is being mobilized for so- lic-i tation work in connection witli the 111 Iil Coiled Jewish Fund CanuKUgn.
"We expect that some 200 women again will consecrate themselves to the holy task of saving lives. Jewish wojnen realize ihal millions of Jews de¬ pend up(m our help for their daily bread. 'I'hey realize loo, that a majority of the sufferers from hunger, pain, pestilence, are women and children of our Own kin. With energy and grim <teiermination, our women will rarry through the jot) of reach¬ ing all their prospects and bring the message-of rescuing human live,-.', Mrs tinndersheimer stat¬ ed,
La.st yrar,'ihiough the splen¬ did cooi)eration of every mem- hei- of the Women's Committee, an outsianding contribution way made in the Cnited Jewish l-'und. This year's underlak- ¦Ing in the gravest crisis for our people, has madt? it neeessitry for Jews of America to exert every effort to raise mych great¬ er funds to prevent wholesale starvai lon and annihilation of these oppressed people. We are confident that the Jewish women of Columbus will not^-fail In this, the greatest of all humanitarian endeavours", the Women's Di¬ vision leaders declared.
