Saving the Lives of Soldiers
By CLARENCE H. ENGGASS
.
It is a well-known fact that the refugees who have
found a haven in the United States are serving the
cause of democracy in the present war. But this
tact was dramatically brought home to me the other
day wdien I read the story of how Prof. Karl Sollner,
a refugee chemist, had collaborated
in the invention of a "belly still,"
which will save the lives of many
Allied fighters.
• Prof. Sollner, who was assisted
by the National Refugee Service
when he arrived in this country,
devised a mechanism whereby sea
water-can be converted into drink-
ing water. The lives of many ship-
wrecked sailors and airmen will
Mr. Enggass
.-unclobutedly be saved as the result of this invention.
*There are many other cases of how the scientific
skill of newcomers has been harnessed to the war
effort.
To support the program for refugee adjustment
we must furnish the necessary resources through
the United Jewish Appeal for Refugees, Overseas
Needs and Palestine, which is the major beneficiary
of the Allied Jewish Campaign. Because of the
critical need in providing every opportunity for
rescue and survival for oppressed and homeless
Jews, it is vitally important that we help assure the
success of the War Chest campaign this year. In this
way we can serve the Jewish people as well as the
Allied peoples in the fight for freedom.

Through the Allied Jewish Campaign, the War
Chest again will provide for the relief and
rehabilitation of millions of oppressed Jews dur-
ing 1944. By providing funds for the United
Jewish Appeal, included among the War Chest
overseas agencies, the great drive for $8,250,000
will send out words of cheer to those who look
to free America for sustenance and for courage.
