Vaad Hahatzala Workers
Continue Efforts

Although slowed up by the
recent hot weather, the Vaad
liahatzalah campaign has been
making steady progress towards
its quota of $15.000 for Detroit.
Plans are now being made for
a reorganization of the work,
with an active resumption of
solicitation of collection of
pledges in the near future. The
utilization of the High Hol•days
in bringing before the public
the tragic plight of the Torah
in exile, and an intensification
of the efforts to obtain all-out
support for the rescue work of
the Vitati Ilahatzala is being

planned.

Miss Ruth Kanarek, dramaiM

young Detroit violinist, will be
guest artists in the outdoor con-
cert at the Jewish Community
Center, Tuesday evening, July
28, at 8:30.
