In extending an invitation to
Detroit Jews to enlist in this
chapter, at $10 a year for a family
membership, Mr. Welt stated:
"'Fascists • are on the loose in
America once again, and we Jews
must be on the alert. Through
their usual vicious and insidious
tactics, fascist elements are at-
tempting to foment racial and re-
ligious hatreds which, unless
arrested, will do us irreparable
harm.
Fight on Three Fronts
"For the past 40 years, in New
York City, the American Jewish
Committee has carried on this
fight on three fronts. It has acted
to combat anti-Semitism in the
United States .. . to protect the
civil, religious, economic and po-
litical rights of Jews throughout
the world . . . to further a com-
prehensive program to enable
American Jews to live in peace
and dignity among their fellow
citizens.
"The work that Louis Marshall,
Felix Warburg, Jacob Schiff,
Judge Irving Lehman and other
New York Jewish leaders accom-
plished through the American
Jewish Committee, now under
the leadership of Judge Pros-
kauer and others, must be en-
couraged by influential Jews
throughout the country. That's
why a Detroit chapter is now be-
ing organized, and why chapters
are already flourishing in other
cities.
"This is not a fund-raising
project. It is an enlistment of
support of intelligent and in-
formed JeWs in this community
who will be in a position to help
combat our common peril and
improve our civil position."

Vets Asked to Aid
Zionist Campaign
For New Members
Veterans have been invited to
assist in the membership drive of
the Zionist Organization of De-
troit.
Many experienced organizers
who have rendered services to
the organization in the past are
asked to communicate with Dr.
Philip E. Lachman, chairman of
the drive, to assist in the present
campaign.
Henry Zausmer is chairman of
the committee to represent the
organization at public and private
meetings. He is assisted by David
Colman, vice-chairman of the
drive.
"These men need the experi-
ence and cooperation of those
who participated in these drives
in the past in order to insure the
success of the present drive," Dr.
Lachman said. "The organiza-
tion thanks those members for
permitting a Zionist representa-
tive to address their friends at
home meetings. These meetings
have been successful in impress-
ing upon Detroit Jews the im-
portance of Zionism.
"All members who desire to
take part in this campaign should
contact their friends and urge
them to join. All commitments
should be reported promptly to
Mrs. Feldstein, CH. 6559.
"The committee emphasizes the
necessity of all members in-
tensifying their efforts. The neces-

Miami Over Top
In WA Campaign
The 1946 Combined Jewish Ap-
peal of the Greater Miami Jewish
Federation this week became the
first major community to an-
nounce the successful attainment
of its goal on behalf of the $100,-
000,000 UJA campaign.
The Miami 1946 allocation to
the United Jewish Appeal was
fixed at $500,000 which is three
times the amount contributed by
Miami to the UJA in 1945.
DAD CARRIED A LANTERN
There were times when Mother had to
wade through snow to carry wood to feed
the kitchen stove. She heated water on the
stove to thaw the pump. Then she pumped
more water and carried it in to be heated
on the same stove for cooking, scrubbing
and bathing—and for thawing the pump
again.
But on the farms of Michigan life has
changed, and is continuing to change.
The greatest factor in that change has been
the availability of electric power.
s ok-
In the electrified farm home that lantern is
almost a museum piece. In the kitchen, the
bathroom and the laundry, water, hot and
cold, is on tap. The ash pan is gone where the woodbox pineth.
The electric range is white and shining, and the calendar hangs over what was once the exit of the old black
stovepipe.
The milk and butter that used to hang in the well before Dad's dad built the milk house out by the windmill
are in the electric refrigerator now.
There's a broom in the closet for shooing -the 'cat —an electric sweeper for the Brussels carpet.
Out in Dad's domain electricity milks the cows, grinds the feed, hoists the hay and saws the wood. It
separates
the cream and shears the sheep, warms the baby chicks as no hen could warm them, and kids the hens them-
selves into getting up before daylight to be about the business of laying eggs.
The Detroit Edison Company already has made service available to 34,000 of the 37,000 farms In its 7,600 square
miles of territory. Its objective is to see that electric service is within the reach of every one of those farms.
To that end Detroit Edison now is engaged in extending its lines some 600 miles into every remote corner of its
rural territory. These extensions will be completed just as rapidly as materials and skilled labor can be obtained.
