that you are not forgetting your less fortunate
era and that you are all helping in the great causes

You should have a report on what the boys and girls
troit are doing for the campaign. A special Children's
of Project has been formed, with Bernard Isaacs, the
1 superintendent of the United Hebrew Schools, as
an, and with Miss Anna Oxenhandler, educational
thr of Temple Israel, as associate chairman. Temple
El's children have pledged $600 to the drive, United
ew Schools, $600; Shaarey Zedek Sunday School,
, and Temple Israel made its first pledge—being in
nce less than a year—for $100.
But our schools are not limiting themselves to raising

EARNING FOR DRIVE
Here is how some of the Beth

"I am watering the grass"—
Jacqueline Harris.
"I helped my mother by being
good"--Susan Klein.
"I help washing the dishes"—
Carol Jean.
"I collected papers for defense
and earned I9c"—Tom Kreger.
A CAMPAIGN POEM
Helen Alexander of Grade 4
wrote the following poem:
"Contribute to the Allied Jew-
ish Campaign
Contribute with your might and
main.
Every penny that you give
Will help another person to live.
So don't be selfish and do try to
give without a sign
So that another will not die."

LEADERSHIP CRITERIA
American Jewry misses the
leadership and inspiration of the
key man of two decades ago—
the late Louis Marshall. In the
last war, he was a factor in
cementing unity in American
Israel. He was a member of the
American Jewsh Congress dele-
gation at the Peace Conference.
He collaborated with Dr. Chaim
Weizmann in organizing the
Jewish Agency for Palestine. His
word was powerful in fighting
anti-Semitism. Most important
of all was his influence among
the Jewish masses.
The reason for the latter was
obvious. He loved the masses
and did not hesitate to mingle
with them. He knew their
shortcomings, but he respected
their sentiments and their loyal-
ties.
Louis Marshall's outstanding
quality may have been just this
desire to know the masses. To
understand their ideas and
views, he studied Yiddish and
read the Yiddish newspapers
zealously.
That's the stuff real leader-
ship was made of up to 1929,
when world Jewry lost this
great man.
MARSHALL'S COUNTERPART
It is no exaggeration to say
that Louis Marshall has his
counterpart in a Detroiter — in
the interesting personality of
Fred M. ButzeL This would be
hardly an occasion to write.
about him — since his present
leadership as chairman of the
close to a million dollar drive
for the Allied Jewish Campaign
is merely a routine affair with
him. He has headed campaigns
