Stressing the speCial interest
members of Detroit's Jewish com-
munity have in the Community
Fund Campaign, Mr. Newman
said. "As Detroiters and as Jews
we are a part of this community
and are intimately concerned
with any program to benefit the
general welfare of Detroiters.
We are interested in the broad
program conducted by all of the
80 agencies supported by the
Fund. In addition, as Jews, we
are particularly interested in the
work of the local Jewish or-
ganizations which are dependent
on the Community Fund Drive
for the major portion of their
maintenance budgets. Our own
agencies receiving allocation
from the Fund includes: North
End ,Clinic, the Fresh Air So-
ciety, the Hebrew Free Loan As-
sociation, the Jewish Child Place-
ment Bureau, the Jewish Chil-
dren's Home, the Jewish Com-
munity Center, the Jewish So-
cial Service Bureau and the Jew-
ish Welfare Federation for the
coordination of services."
Undetermined Goal
For the second consecutive
year the Detroit Community
Fun will be seeking an unde-
te ined goal, in its 23rd annual
campaign.
Last year the Fund obtained
$2,323,000, including the $148,-
000 for campaign and year round
expense which was contributed
by a limited number of Detroit-
ers. This year, the Fund will
ask for as great an amount above
the $2,323,000 as possible in or-
der that the 80 agencies of the
Fund may be able to meet the
problems they face in 1941,
Dodge said.
Through the plan of obtaining
Fund overhead costs from a lim-
ited group of citizens, the Fund
again can promise other contrib-
utors that all of their contribu-
tions will go to the agencies for
the work that they will do in
1941,
5,000 Volunteer Solicitors
Five thousand unpaid solicitors
will aid the Fund as volunteers
again this year, as has been done
since the Fund was founded. Ear.,
solicitor will be furnished cre-
dentials so that donors can be
assured their gift goes to the
Fund.
The campaign organization will
include four units. Unit A will
handle the bulk of individual so-
licitation; Unit B, industral and
manufacturing firms; Unit C,
commercial and professional or-
ganizations, and Unit D, smaller
businesses and some individual
solicitation.
President Roosevelt to Speak
On a national scale, the Com-
An Old Friend Says:
HAPPY NEW YEAR
We greet you warmly on this, your
Holiday! We genuinely appreciate the
patronage and good will with which
you have favored us through nearly
three decades now — and we'll sincerely
strive to be more-than-ever deserving
of it through the coming year!
munity Fund season will be
opened by President Roosevelt on
Oct. 13, at 10:30 p. in., by
means of a national radio hookup.
Throughout the whole country,
$85,000 is raised annually in the
Mobilization for Human Needs.
Each year for the last decade
these national mobilizations have
been held to draw the people of
America together in the spirit of
volunteer service through Com-
munity Funds. Both nationally
and in Detroit, the money raised
is used for the relief of suffering
among the needy.
Charles Francis Adams, presi-
dent of the Community Federa-
tion of Boston and Secretary of
the Navy under President Hoover,
is chairman of the 1940 Mobili-
zation. He will make a brief re-
sponse to President Roosevelt's
radio talk on Oct. 13.
The President declared his sup-
port for the mobilization and the
country's many Fund campaigns
in a congratulatory letter to
Adams upon the latter's appoint-
ment.
"In many of our communities
people are suffering," he wrote,
"through no fault of their own,
from lack of proper nourishment,
lack of proper housing, and lack
of medical care. Many of the
problems created by economic and
social maladjustment are so fun-
damental as to be of grave con-
cern to the nation as a whole
and to require the efforts of all
the people, acting through the
machinery of democratic gov-
ernment, for their amelioration
and solution.
"Nevertheless, we must recog-
nize that each person is a mem-
ber of the community in which

TEMPLE COLLEGE
(Continued

Page

is
a course organized especially
for the many men and women
who want to get a condensed pic-
ture of Jewish history, and it
will present vividly those ele-
ments in the Jewish past which
account for the Jewish role in
the present. The other new
course offered this year is the
course in "Current Events" to
be given by Rabbi Leon Frain.
While this class is held every
year, it is by its nature every
year a new course. The growth
of Rabbi Fram's class is one of
the most remarkable phenomena
in adult education in America.
The enrollment last year was
500. The class outgrew every
room in the Temple and hart to
meet in the Brown :Memorial
Chapel. The title of the course
this year is "The World Crisis
and the Conflict of Social and
Political Ideas Which it Reflects."
Rabbi Frain interprets each cur-
rent event in general, and Jew-
ish life by giving its complete
background in history and in so-
cial philosophy.
Each course in Beth El Col-
lege of Jewish Studies consists
of ten successive Monday night
sessions, beginning Monday
night, Oct. 14. The enrollment
fee is one dollar per course. En-
rollment begins at 7 o'clock Mon-
day, Oct. 14. The first class ses-
sions begin at 8 o'clock.

as a group has a definite interest
in the welfare of each of its
members Within the limits of its
available resources, there is a
definite responsibility which the
community must take and a
definite contributiOn which it can

"The annual Community Chest
Campaign gives each member of
the community an opportunity to
contribute to the well-being of
his less fortunate fellow citizen.
I hope and I know that the Amer-
ican people will respond most
generously to your appeal this
year."
