Formally opening the 1943 once-a-year annual United' Jewish Fund Campaign, Columbus will inaugurate the "Kick Oft" dinner meeting next Tuesday evening, June 15th, at the Winding Hollow Country Club. To meet the unprecedented needs of the most critical hour in world his¬ tory, the meeting will set off a record drive for a sum which must exceed last year's effort hy a consitlerable margin. Over 50 agencies are the beneficiaries of thi.s fund-
The campaign .strategy this year will be no different than any other similar fund rai.sing efforts in Ihe past. There will be no rallies to fire the cnthusia.=?m of the 'Volun¬ teers, no pep-meetings, no luncheons, no speakbrs, no fan¬ fare. Those attending the dinner meeting Will receive a first hand account of the foreign .situation. Among those who are to be heard will be E. .1. Schanfarber, President of the local United Jewish Fund since its organization 17 yeai-s ago; Robert Schiff, general chairman- and Simon Laz¬ arus, Trea.surer of the Furld.   '
.¦\erording to Rohert W. Schiff, Columhus tunil leaders have set lasl year's goal as the minimum limit, bul the upper limit can. (inly be sel by the open hearts of all donors. Where last year we had the misery ot millions, this year their ml.series havo in¬ creased tren^endou.sly. The fury of Hitler's henchmen is being fell in new places, in new areas. The misery of those not in Hit¬ ler's clutches have not been min- 1 imized — we need to give, and lo give generously, Mr. Schiff said.
Preparations tor the cam¬ paign which have heen going on for the past four weelis have been virtually completed, with pnly final details remaining be¬ fore Tuesday. An army of several hundred campaign workers have been enrolled to volunteer their time and effort during the 21 days of the cam¬ paign, and has held all ot Us preliminary meetings to plan the solleilation.
F> ery .lewish resident of the miiiuniiy will be asked to in¬ crease his e.intribuiion over what he gave last year, to help achieve Ihe aililiiioiuil increase, i-'.very w.irker will be making his reiiuesi \\itli Ibe kn.iwledge that up.iii llu'se (¦.iiitributions .le]lell.ls III.' li\es of nillliolis .it fell.iw .l,-«s,
