"No Time to Sit Back"
In his address, Dr. Glazer
warned his audience not to fall
into the error of believing that
the worst is over. "The worst is
ahead of us, and that is why we
are asked to give more than ever
before," he declared.
Pointing to the revelations that
are coming from Europe, in spe-
cial articles in leading magazines,
of the atrocities perpetrated by
the Nazis in crematoria where
tens of thousands of Jews were
burned alive, Dr. Glazer de-
clared that "the Christian con-
science of America is being
stirred. This is no time for us to
sit back. • Millions have not been
touched by the war, but Jews
who have been touched have to
think of their responsibilities."
"Vindicate Your Status"
"Our emotions have been
roused," he continued, "and I am
therefore positive that Jewish or-
ganizations, r e c og n i z i n g the
larger needs, will do their utmost
and will not hold back their sup-
port."
Dr. Glazer concluded his ad-
dress with the plea:
"Vindicate your status as hu-
man beings, as Americans, as
Jews, and give freely, unre-
servedly, generously, to the War
Chest."
A plea for large treasury gifts
contributions was also made by
Louis S. Cohane, another speaker
at this conference.
Odessa Progressive Aid Society
leads the Jewish treasury gifts to
the War Chest to-date. At last
Sunday's meeting of representa-
tives of organizations, the Odessa
Society gave $1,500. Bakers'
Union 178 pledged $1,000 and
same amounts were announced
by Keshenever Bessaraber
Verein. and Pinsker Progressive
Aid Society.
Mr. Silver's report indicated
that many organizations are
slow in making their pledges, and
the imperative need for prompt
action was stressed.
In order to give organiza-
tions which have not yet re-
sponded an opportunity to an-
nounce their gifts to the War
Chest, another conference will
be held next Sunday morning,
at the Hothe for Aged, and the
speakers will be Fred M. But-
zel, vice-president of the War
Chest, and Rabbi M. J. Wohl-
gelernter. Morris Garvett will
:preside.
"The results to date," stated
Mr. Butzel, "are encouraging but
not nearly good enough in view
of the fact that the campaign is
in its last stages. Every effort
should be made by Jewish orga-
nizations to come to the meeting
next Sunday with reports of
their pledges, or if that is not
possible, at least with a statement

IT'S PATHETIC
TO BE HOMELESS
We open our hearts to a homeless kitten, a
neglected puppy — that's the kind of people
we are in America. But, let us remember, too,
that across the world there are homeless humans
— brave, persecuted people, victims of war's
destruction—who look to us for help and hope.
Give to your Community War Chest—help to
reestablish these homeless people. Be generous
— save from your household budget or income,
sacrifice a little — give that others may live.
Help oll three—your fighting men, your Allies, your neighbors.
