No Sacrifices Demanded Yet

In discussing the task con-
fronting the fund-raising army
in behalf of local, national, Pal-
estine and overseas services, Mrs.
Joseph H. Ehrlich said
"The task of assisting millions
of Jews throughout the world
not only continues but is grow-
ing with a spread of the Axis
influence into previously unoccu-
pied countries and any lesser
aid would only make more piti-
fully ' inadequate the minimum
help that is now provided. The
maintenance of local and na-
tional services will have to be
sustained if the morale of our
people and the men at the Front
are to be kept up. Mental
strains are at a high tension;
sickness has been on the increase
with the activity also in indus-
try and business; families whose
breadwinners have joined the
forces will have to be aided ; de-
pendency among children will
be increased by the casualties of
War. The mere logic of the sit-
uation calls for even greater sup-
plementatio nto meet the gen-
eral rise in costs of service and
commodities. Furthermore, the
plight of refugee aliens intensi-
fied by the uncertainties of their
status and the problems of non-
employment make them an even
greater responsibility than here-
tofore.
"The American community has
not yet come to know actual
sacrifice demanded by the war
and the fight for democracy in
which we as Jews, have perhaps
the greatest stake."

WOMEN'S GOAL
TEN PER CENT

A group of representative
Jewish women of Detroit, con-
stituting the officers, advisory
board and committee chairmen
of the Women's Division of the
Allied Jewish Campaign, has de-
cided to accept ten per cent of
the general goal as the women's
quota in the drive.
Mrs. Hyman C. Broder, chair-
man of the 1942 Women's Divi-
sion of the campaign, in report-
ing the decision of the women,
stated that this action was taken
to insure that the division's part
in the total fund-raising effort
would be commensurate with the
magnitude and importance of the
task that lies ahead for the
Jewish community.
Budget hearings to determine
tentative allocations for the
beneficiary agencies are now be-
ing held under the direction of
the Detroit Service Group, and
the Women's Division will arrive
at its proposed share of the cam-
paign when the hearings have
been completed and the needs
of the 55 local, regional and
overseas causes have been taken
into account. Already it is evi-
dent that commodity costs and
wage increases in the lower wage
ranges will necessitate increased
grants for the dependent old
people at the Jewish Home for
Aged, the unemployed transients
at the House of Shelter and for
other essential expenditures by
other social services and phil-
anthropies, both within the city
and beyond.
M ea n w h i l e, organizational
committees of the Women's Divi-
sion are busy laying the ground-
work for the conduct of the
drive. Mrs. Morris Adler and
Mrs. Harry Jackson, chairmen
of the Women's Speakers' Com-

mittee, already have met with
Mrs. Carl S. Schiller and Mrs.
Sol G. Meyers, chairmen of the
workers' enrollment committee,
and Mrs. Isaac Gilbert, chair-
man of the prospects' committee,
which includes Airs. Lewis B.
Daniels, Mrs. David S. Diamond,
Mrs. Maurice Landau and Mrs.
Jack Rothberg, who also attend-
ed the meeting.
The special gifts committee
chairmen, headed by Mrs. henry
Wineman, held a planning lunch-
eon meeting at the Women's
City Club, with Mrs. Joseph II.
Ehrlich, Mrs. Abraham Srere and
Mrs. Robert J. Newman, the vice
chairmen, among those present.
Women's organizations have
received the following communi-
cation from the Women's Divi-
sion:
"The important task before us
at this moment is the enroll-
ment of an army of 1,500 work-
ers to participate in the Wo-
men's Division. We are writing
to you at this time for your
assistance in this direction.
"You can help us by: (1) let-
ting us know immediately when
we may have a speaker appear
before your group to present
the cause of the Allied Jewish
Campaign ; (2) by contacting
your members and enrolling
them as workers as soon as pos-
sible, and sending the names
and addresses of these workers
to me at Room 1401, Statler
Hotel.
"We need and expect the co-
operation of every woman's
group. We appeal to you, as
an officer of your organization,
and as a leader in the commun-
ity, to help us in our humani-
tarian endeavor. We know we
can rely on you."

agency and demonstrated with

ship of the community work and
the war effort. After the meet-
ing there was a spirited discus-
sion.

Hebrew Ladies' Aid Society
to Hold Card Party

(Continued from Page 1)

solution of the Jewish problem
must rest upon the recognition
that a collective survival impulse
is ' as legitimate a 'right' as an
individual one."
In his article, Prof. Niebuhr
says:
"The one aspect of Jewish life
which is unique is that the Jews
are a nationality scattered among
the nations. I use the word 'na-
tionality' to indicate something
more than 'race' and something
less than 'nation'. The Jews cer-
tainly are a nationality by rea-
son of the ethnic core of their
culture. Those Jews who do not
feel themselves engaged by a
collective will to live have a
perfect right to be so disengaged.
But Jews render no service ei-
ther to democracy or to their
people by seeking to deny this
ethnic foundation of their life,
or by giving themselves to the
illusion that they might dispel
all prejudice if only they could
prove that they are a purely cul-
tural or religious community.
Prof. Niebuhr denies that
"Jews are not assimilable," as
charged by Albert Jay Nock, but
adds that "the preservation of
tolerance and cultural pluralism
is necessary not only from the
standpoint of justice to the Jews
but from the standpoint of the
uality of a civilization."

On Sunday evening, March 8,
the Hebrew Ladies' Aid Society
will sponsor a card party, the
proceeds of which will go exclu-
sively for Passover relief. A
nominal charge is being made
which will also include refresh-
ments. This Nv i 1 I be held at the
Dexter-Lawrence Hall. The mem-
bers and friends are urged to
attend this affair.

To Hold USO Dance

As their paid-up membership
affair, the Junior Home Relief
is giving a USO Dance at the
Jewish Community Center, Sat-

The Junior Home Relief,
which is under the personal
supervision of Mrs. Harry M.
Shulman, concentrates its ef-
forts on relief work for the
underprivileged in our commun-
ity.
