Page Twenfy-eighf Friday, May 24, 1946 THE JEWISH NEWS Thank You, Fellow-Workersff- W F GATHER THIS FRIDAY for a final re- Port meeting in the 1946 Emergency Allied Jewish Campaign. We meet in a spirit of gratitude that we have oversubscribed our goal, and that the Jewish com- munity of Detroit has met the chal- lenge that has come from the surviving Jews of Europe. I deem it a privi- lege to have had the great oppor- tunity of serving as chairman of this ✓ ecor d-b r eaking campaign and I de- sire now to thank t h e thousands of m e n and women who have labored with me in this great humanitarian cause. Thanks, millions, NATE S. SHAPERO dear friends, for the millions you have gathered for the dispossessed. Without the loyal support of the nearly 4,000 volunteer workers, it would have been impossible to attain the goal we have reached. * * * It would have been impossible to attain our great objective without the guidance of our brilliant executive director, Mr. Isidore Sobeloff, whose genius has elevated the Jewish Welfare Federation of De- troit to a very high rank among the country's Fed- erations, and the loyal assistance of his entire Federa- tion staff. The fact that nearly 4,000 volunteer workers participated in the campaign is the finest commentary on the great triumph we have achieved. The mobil- ization of such a vast army of workers is due in great measure to the efforts of the devoted Federa- tion staff. Although we are recordini, a triumphant success in this drive, I know that none of us will want to stop working until we have reached the thousands who have not yet contributed. When you have the task of reaching more than 30,000 prospects, it is inevitable that some should be overlooked, that it should be difficult to reach some of the people. Thus, we have Yet to reach several thousand prospective contributors. Let's do it promptly! * * * In every instance, the leaders in the Trade and Professional Divisions and in the Women's and Junior groups have been most cooperative and untiring in their efforts. Through our combined efforts, we have succeeded its raising nearly three times as much, in a single In this spirit I say THANK YOU to all re- 37, fellow workers. God bless you for your great work. * * * Jurists' Birthday Marked By Food Gifts for Survivors An unusual tribute was paid by over to the United Nations food Allied Jewish Campaign workers campaign, in which the SOS on Tuesday to Judge Charles C. (Save Overseas Survivors) of the Simons of the U. S. Circuit Court Joint Distribution Committee is a participating agency. Thus the community chose humanitarian method of honor- ing two great jurists. Achieving Unity of Purpose JUDGE CHARLES C. SIMONS fund-raising emergency campaign, than we had pre- viously secured in any one drive. * * The result of our campaign is a signal to the to those who had the courage to withstand Nazi brutality, that we stand four-square behind them in our determination to protect their lives, to help them settle in Palestine, to provide for those coming to this country, to labor in the cause of justice so that brutalities may not be inflicted again on God's earth.

Instead of dessert, a can of food was placed before each guest at Tuesday's luncheon meeting. At the conclusion of the festivities, these cans were presented as a gift to Judge Simons, to be turned By NATE S. SHAPERO Chairman, 1946 Allied Jewish Campaign In his address, Judge Simons pointed out that the needs of the hour have caused the Jews of America, who were called upon to raise $100,000,000, to recognize that the question is not how much can be raised but how much is needed. "The response of American Jewry is rapidly transforming fantasy into an all-inspiring real- ity," he stated. "There is trans- piring among American Jews a greater demonstration of human charity and brotherhood than has ever been witnessed. At last we are achieving a unity of pur- pose." A Positive Defense Judge Simons declared that "it is my hope that this unity for a great purpose will continue." Referring to the "malignant purveyors of hate who are still selling their wares," Judge Si- mons said that "this great affirm- ative enterprise in human relief will 40 more to arouse the gen- eral public from its coma than the negative defense efforts, no matter how important they may be."
