Columbus Jewry's great United Jewish Fund campaign of "a/I-out" aid and sacrifice has already advanced on many fronts to meet the unprecedented needs of the most critical hour in world history. The increased goal thi.s year is ab¬ solutely necessary with the world in its present chaotic condition. World Jewry has been torn asunder. Through a quirk of fate one-third of the Jewish population of tho world finds itself living in tho Land of the Free and the other two-thirds arc scattered all over the burning Hell of Europe—men, women and children who would welcome dentil rather than go through the tortures being inflicted upon them. These unfortunates are part of our local campaign. They iire the ones for whom every man, woman and child is asked to contribute when called upon by any worker of the Men's, Women's and Junior Divisions. These unfortun¬ ate brethren need your help and you dare not let them down. Those working on ihe cam¬ paign know Iheir respoiisibili- (ies.
