Abe Kasle, pit 50, Points Out
Jewish Educational Needs

Takes Time Out From Busy Life to Emphasize His Concern
Over Training of Children; Active in Zionism and
Relief Drives; 2 Sons in Service

.

Abe Kasle is genuinely a community leader. The important
role he has played in educational circles, in the synagogue, in Zion-
ism, in relief drives, in efforts to secure a large fund for a Jewish
Hospital, have placed him it -v, ■ >
the front ranks of the soldiers
in the battle for mercy and
justice.
But Abe Kasle is also a com-
munity planner. For 30 years,
he has participated in efforts to
advance Jewish causes and to
improve the status of our people
at home and abroad.
On the eve of his 50th birthL
day, which he will observe next
Sunday, Mr. Kasle took time
out from a busy life to review
some of the things he especially
is interested in—and he placed
emphasis on his concern that
there should be an intensive ed-
ucational program for American
Jews.
Concerned Over Education
