Eileen Beauty Shoppe HOgarth 1477 12019 DEXTER (upstairs) 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. 5680 TWELFTH STREET TRINITY 1-4 24 0 PASSOVER GREETINGS TO ALL! LAWRENCE TOOL & DIE CO.
