Personalized Service
The work of the National
Refugee Service is handled
through four major departments
and a number of special com-
mittees.
Through the Migration Depart-
ment are handled the thousands
of requests from prospective
immigrants and their relatives
and friends in this country ask-
ing for advice on technical ques-
tions of pre-immigration proced-
ures, for aid in transporting
refugees to inland points in the
United States and for help in
maintaining those who are here
on temporary visas or in transit.
The Relief and Service Depart-
ment proffers the refugee a high-
ly personalized service, offering
him guidance, as well as emer-
gency financial assistance, during
his initial period of orientation.
The Employment Department
seeks to place the refugee in
gainful employment without dis-
placing American labor. The work
of the Employment Department,
however, is more constructive
than merely trying to obtain non-
competitive positions for the in:-
migrant. For, in addition to help-
ing refugees utilize their unique
and valuable skills, this depart-
ment directs a vocational re-
training program.
Aim at Adjustments
The Resettlement Department,
cooperating closely with the oth-
er departments, directs, through
its 500 local committees, the
long-range program of the Na-
tional Refugee Service — the
placement of refugees throughout
the country in regions where
their adjustment will be easier
than in the ports of entry on
the eastern seaboard.
This agency has also assumed
the responsibility of administer-
ing the German-Jewish Children's
Aid, the organization responsible
for the care and education of a
limited number of German chil-
dren who have been permitted
to enter under the United States
quota laws and who are estab-
lished with relatives or in foster
homes.
Through special committees
the National Refugee. Service
Provides services to refugeb rab-
bis, doctors, dentists, medical sci-
entists, musicians, scholars and
social workers. Its Division of
Social and Cultural Adjustment
utilizes available resources for
the adjustment of refugees to
the American language and the
American community. Through a
Capital Loan Committee, it also
grants loans and gives business
counsel to refugee enterprises.
For fund-raising purposes, the
National Refugee Service has
united with the Joint pistribu-
tion Committee and the United
Palestine Appeal to form the
United Jewish Appeal. The United
Jewish Appeal was the largest
beneficiary of the 1939 Allied
Jewish Campaign.
Philomathic Debating Club
At the meeting of Dec, 31, the
Philomathic Debating Club pre-
sented a debate on the topic
"Resolved, That Birth Control
Clinics Should Be Maintained and
Controlled by the State." The
affirmative was upheld by Wil-
liam Yolles and Morris Green.
Jerome Kellman and Leon Weitz
were on the negative team. Wil-
liam Yolles was elected best
speaker.
The banquet scheduled for Feb.
14 was discussed. The "Philo-
