The Folks Committee quota
for the year 1942 is $25.000.
Special events and functions
have been held almost weekly
since March 1. The Hebrew
school meeting was featured by
a talk by Mrs. Nila Magidoff,
Russian-born wife of an Asso-
ciated Press correspondent in
Russia, who left Moscow last
October and has since been tour-
Mg the United States for Rus-
sian war relief. She made sev-
eral appearances in Detroit last
week. Excerpts of her talk to
the Folks Committee follow :
"Hitler made just one mistake.
li e forgot the Russian people !
We are united and everyone—
men, women and children—are
fighting and working shoulder to
shoulder.
"Hitler promised German citi-
zens that he would be in Mos-
cow within six weeks after the
war began. Poor fellow! He
missed his good Russian dinner.
"Russia is admirably organized
for whatever comes. Even the
children have duties."
Her description of the enor-
mous task which Moscow young-
sters performed the day was was
declared was fascinating. Every
man had to be notified to re-
port for military duty. Sending

the official notices through the
postoffice would require five to
seven hours. So the children
acted as runners. They lined up
at army headquarters to receive
the orders by hand. And then
they ran ! Thousands of chil-
dren in all directions, each wav-
ing his slip of paper. The
streets were cleared for the
young army. People got off
busses and street cars to let
them ride. Result : Every man
had his orders in less than two
hours.
Although the Russian govern-
ment is very opposed to women
serving as soldiers, they have
taken over many thousands of
men's jobs in offices. plants and
on farms. More than 42,000
women are now sailors in the
Russian Merchant Marine.
Mrs. Magidoff is a talented
newspaper woman. and was book
and art critic for Journal de
Moscu, Moscow's French daily.
However. for weeks before her
evacuation, she worked every
day, digging and carrying sand
to cover the city's roof tops.
She is not a member of the
Communist Party, but as she ex-
plains, "Party means little in
times like these. Everyone is
working and praying for the
survival of the Soviet Union.
A few days ago. Mrs. Magidoff
heard her famous husband
broadcasting from Moscow. "He
told about seeing the enormous
crates of surgical and medical
supplies arrive in Moscow—all
through the efforts of Russian
War Relief in America. It was
the happiest day I have had
since the war began !"

Philomathic to Hold
Fortieth Annual
Model Meeting
MOSCOW TINS)—For her dis-
covery of a substance which will
bring back to life, within a few
minutes of its injection, persons
killed by shock, the Soviet Gov-
ernment awarded the gold medal
to Lena Stern, Jewish scientis:
and member of the Moscow lead-
enly of Science.
The discovery was widely ac-
claimed by Moscow doctors as the
Elixer of Life since tetanus and
shock have always been two of
the most feared death-carriers on
the battlefield. Shock occurs.
usually, in cases of severe con-
tusions and burns.
In her experiments, the scient-
ist discovered that one substance
may have differing effects on the
organism depending on the direc-
Ion of the injection. If injected
directly into the brain, the sub-
stance may have an excitatory
effect, while if it reaches the
general circulation system it may
have a depressing effect.
