Page Sixteen THE JEWISH NEWS A Plan for Teacher's Institute 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.
