Halevy Society Plans
21st Annual Concert

Halevy Singing Society has
set March 3, 1946, as the date of
its 21st annual concert to be held
in the Scottish Rite Cathedral.
Igor Gorin again will be the
featured artist.
The society's two-month vaca-
tion will commence with a pic-
nic for members and friends on
July 1, at Lola Valley Park.

Morris Lachover stated that
1,165 students now attend the
schools; that the $106,000 budget
includes the largest item—$82,-
000—for teachers' salaries. The
largest portion of budgetary
funds came from the Jewish
Welfare Federation, in the
amount of $51,000; $35,000 was
raised in tuition fees and the
balance in scholarships, contri-
butions and Minyanim.
Mrs. A. Carnick, president of
the Woman's Auxiliary, greeted
the gathering and outlined the
new educational program of the
women's group in behalf of the
members and the schools.
