The two coasts have brought to
the fore a number of Jewish wo-
men who are making outstanding
contributions to civilian and mili-
tary morale as well as to civilian
defense.
On the West Coast an especially
energetic job is being done by
Mrs. S. Mason Ehrman, of Port-
land, Ore. She is entrusted com-
pletely with the task of organ-
izing the volunteer defenses of the
City of Roses. A brilliant woman,
with a fine social sense, she is
credited with having perfected
one of the most disciplined de-
fens(' organizations in the coun-
try. Her husband is one of the
leaders of the Jewish community
and was for a number of years
president of the Oregon Jewish
Welfare Fund. Mrs. Ehrman, one
of the most skillful gardners in a
community which takes pride in
its flowers, has lavished as much
spirt and care on the greater
responsibility which now faces her
—and the entire country.
In New York the number of
Jewish women who have abandon-
ed virtually all their normal so-
cial obligations to participate in
one of the phases of the war ef-
fort is legion. A hasty listing will
suffice for an introduction:
Mrs. Frank L. Weil, wife of
the president of the Jewish Wel-
fare Board, mother of three chil-
dren, grand-daughter of Gov. Al-
exander Moses of Idaho. As vice-
chairman of the Jewish Welfare
Board she has made adequate re-
ception of Jewish soldiers coming
to New York a true art of hos-
pitality.
Mrs. Sidney C. Borg, still known
among her friends as one of the
most beautiful women of her age,
one of the organizers of the
League of Women Voters, long-
time social-welfare expert, presi-
dent of the Jewish Board of Guar-
dians and one of the most ac-
tive women in the New York Jew-
ish scene. She is chairman of the
Civilian Defense Volunteer Office
in Manhattan, having been •p-
pointed by Mayor LaGuardia. The
job is, of course, unpaid and re-
quires an enormous expenditure of
time and energy—and even re-
sources. Mrs. Borg provides all
three.
Mrs. Arthur Schulte, an assist-
ant of Mrs. Borg as Chairman of
the Department of Work Oppor-
tunities. Mrs. Schulte is the wife
of the cigar-chain-store head. Her
own ability to give time and
means and her preoccupation for
many years with the problems
of Jewish social welfare—working
alongside Mrs. Borg—equip her
for her present duties.
There are scores and hundreds
like these in New York—pre-
paring for any emergency.
