Kreiter Analyzes Success of
Medical School Drive
Editor, The Jewish News:
For the second time, though after
a briefer visit, I am leaving De-
troit in a whirl of mingled feel-
ings. As Area Director of USO-
JWB, it was my pleasure to work
with hundreds of women's organ-
izations as liaison between them
and the Army and Navy Commit-
tee.
This time I had the privilege
of representing a national cam-
paign which is seeking to raise
$4,000,000 in order to complete
the building of a first rate medi-
cal school in Palestine. That
need, recognized throughout the
country by Welfare Funds and
independent drives, has equally
stirred the legendary big heart
of Detroit Jewry sparked by the
beloved hospitality of Dora Ehr-
lich, in a concerted communal
effort to participate with a purse
of $75,000.
I wish to express my boundless
gratitude to our numerous friends
who helped to make this rare
occasion of honoring "Our Dora"
an achievement for the Palestine
Medical School Campaign of
which she is local chairman.
SAMUEL KREITER,
Field Representative, Hadassah -
HebreW University Medical
School Campaign.

Editor, The Jewish News:
We want to take this oppor-
tunity to sincerely thank you for
the publicity you gave us, which
contributed to the overwhelming
success of our donor luncheon
held Nov. 19, at Masonic Temple.
We also want to publicly thank
our friends and donors for their
part in contributing to our efforts.
It is fitting at this time to ex-
plain that our major project is
primarily assisting or supple-
inenting assistance to the aged.
However, we at no time turn
down worthy charity cases of all
kinds, when brought to the at-
tention of our president, Mrs.
Henry Levett, HO. 7832, or case
worker, Mrs. Max Covah, NO.
9021. We do not lose sight of the
fact that Our less fortunate peo-
ple overseas need our assistance,
and of the donor luncheon pro-
ceeds we have already allocated
$100 for SOS.

"When that blustery old wind makes the curtains
dance and the windows rattle, it's fan to hop into a
bed already warm and cozy.
•
"How come? My new electric blanket, of course.
"Mom likes it, too. She sleeps better 'cause she knows
I'm snug and warm no matter what the weather. Sis
(who's pretty smart for a girl) claims bedmaking is
easier. And Dad goes for it because it costs only a few
pennies a week."
Blissful, healthy slumber is as close as the nearest
Detroit Edison office or your neighborhood appliance
dealer who stocks automatic electric blankets. Made
of pure virgin wool by firms who created electrically
heated flying clothing, automatic blankets are light
and fluffy-textured. In soft boudoir pastels, they wash
beautifully, and one blanket does the work of three
old-fashioned ones. See them today . . . and switch to
better sleeping. Satin-covered electric comforters are
available, too.
