Jacobson to Head
Fresh Air Society
At the annual fall meeting of
the board of directors, Oct. 26,
at the Jewish Center, Harry
Jacobson was elected president
of the Fresh Air Society to suc-
ceed Alex Scheiber.
A final call was issued to individuals and organizations

raising of the entire goal of $8,250,000.
With the drive scheduled to come to a close at a 'final
'dinner meeting tonight, the campaign is still short of its
goal, and it is imperative that those who have not yet con-
tributed should do so at once ands
4hat those who are in position to
do so should make proper in-
:creases over last year.
Urge Speedy Action
At a conference of delegates
;,:of local organizations held last
Sunday morning at the Jewish
1-lome for Aged, a number of
.,societies made reports and
ipledged to the drive. Morris Gar-
Irett presided and Harold Silver,
secretary of the treasury gifts
?division, reported on organiza-
!tonal contributions.
Fred M. Butzel and Rabbi Max
'J. Wohlgelernter, in final appeals .
too organizations, asked for
prompt action in behalf of the
'War Chest.
"The charities included in the
War Chest," said Rabbi Wohlge-
Aernter, "are like fresh air and
0food. The need is taken for grant-
ed and for that very reason there
is frequently insufficient empha-
sis on them; the relief programs
are really just beginning."
Credit Jewish Efforts
Mr. Butzel urged those organ-
izations which have not yet
turned in their pledges to do so
within the coming week so that
full credit might be given to
Jewish organizational efforts by
the time the campaign closes.

many good-will efforts in my
time, but there is nothing that
radiates as much good-will be-
Aween the Jews and their Chris-

Butzel stated.
