Support the Red Feather Campaign
By JULIAN H. 'MOLD(
(President, Jewish Welfare Federati.mt of Detroit)
We of the Jewish•Comrnunity will want to give our utmost support to the
Community Chest -Campaign which is now unaer way and which will continue
through Nov. 13. We all have a special interest in the work of the 125 Red Feather
services. The welfare of our city depends upon the strength of these agencies.
Five member agencies of the Jewish Welfare Federation receive support from
the Community Chest. They are the Jewish Social Service Bureau, Jewish Cen-
ter. North Bnd Clinic, Hebrew Free Loan Association and Fresh Air Camp. The
Chest also finances the deficits of a large number of non-sectarian city-wide
services which are highly important to all groups. including our own. Among
those are the Children's Hospital. the Visiting Nurses Association, Girl Scouts.
Boy Scouts, Legal Aid Bureau, and the out-patient departments of several of the
larger hospitals.
While the Jewish community of Detroit helps to support the special over-
seas, national and local needs of our people in the spring Allied Jewish Campaign,
they always have been ready to assume their civic responsibilities by contributing
generously to the Community Chest.
The Chest, which transcends interfaith acti. -)n by functioning without refereoce
to faith, is a powerful influence in uplifting the spirit of the City of Detroit.
