Hadassah on Sunday

The Detroit unit of Junior
Hadassah will meet Sunday,
March 17, at 2:30 p. m., at the
Statler Hotel. The guest speaker
will be Shulamith Schwartz,
writer and lecturer, of Junior
Hadassah, former national presi-
dent. She is the wife of Dr.
Noach Nardi, educator, and has
lived in Palestine for the last five
years.
In view of the prominence of
the guest speaker and her mes-
sage, members of Little Women
of Hadassah have been invited to
join Junior Hadassah in a joint
meeting on this occasion. In ad-
dition to the speaker, the pro-
gram will consist of committee
reports from chairmen of both
organizations and of reports of
the conference held by the Cen-
tral States Region of Hadassah
in Cincinnati during the week-
end of March 9-10.
Friends of members of both
groups and the general public
are invited to attend this meet-
ing.

care of the communal leaders.
They must first be sent to the

ed in cases weighing no more than
50 kg. (110 lbs.). The number
of cases is unlimited. Every case
must be numbered (1-1, 1-2, 1-3,
1-4, etc.).
"4. Whenever possible, the con•
tents of each case should be uni-
form, that is, one case might
contain shoes, another clothing,
another linen, etc.
"5. Inside the case there should
be placed an exact itemized in-
ventory.
"6. Four copies of the inven-

International Red Cross. Each list
must bear the exact number of
the case to which it refers.
"7. The cases are opened in
Geneva by the International Red
Cross and checked carefully
against the inventory,
"8. After examination, the In-

to German-Poland.
"9. One copy of the inventory
will be given to the Jewish com-
munity to which the shipment is
addressed for the purpose of re-
turning a receipt after receiving
the case. The receipt will be sent
to the International Red Cross
in Geneva.
"10. It is important to notify
the Geneva bureau of the World
Jewish Congress regarding all
shipments. The World Jewish Con-
gress is in constant contact with
the Internationla Red Cross and
has been requested to notify it of
all shipmens addressed to Jewish
communities in Poland. Only by
this procedure will it be possible
to exercise any control over the
arrival and dispatch of ship-
ments."

cate immediately with either the

can Jewish Congress made known

lea in Vilna, which is ready to
answer inquiries with respect to

formation supplied by the W. rld

relatives are not listed in an ef-
fort to secure information c ,n-
cerning them, using the facilities
of the World Jewish Congres- in
this connection.
This list is the seventh of a
series of lists of refugees from
Poland now to be found in ho -
mania, Lithuania, Latvia rind
