Leo Gold
tutions in America, 38 Park Row,
N. Y., has been successful in the
achievement of its two major
aims: To acquaint American
ewry with the importance and
work of these institutions and to
coordinate and increase the aid
raised here for them.
Particular attention was paid
by the Federated Counc . 1 to the
various Welfare Funds and Fed-
erations, whom it supplied with
ample information about the work
of the 133 institutions, which are
not only a spiritual bastion of the
Yishuv, but also a very vital eco-
nomic factor. These institutions
with tens of thousands dependent
upon them, it was pointed out,
are now passing through a very
serious crisis as a result of the
war which closed all of their
former sources of income, except
the United States.
This effort on the part of the
Federated Council has been high-
ly appreciated by the leaders of
the various Welfare Funds, who
were long craving for such a
responsible body as the Feder-
ated Council with whom they
could take up the case of all
these institutions that need aid
and allocate for them one lump
At Congregation Shaarey Ze-
dek services on Saturday morning,
special prayers are said for the
health of the president and for
a speedy victory in the war
against the Axis.

phony Society has released the

certs of Jan. 1 and 2, with Betty

her local debut as soloist. Satur-
day night, Jan. 3, Georges Mi-
uelle, 'cellist, will make his an-
nual appearance as soloist. Then
