NEW YORK, (JTA) — Cen-
tral Jewish fund raising efforts—
as exemplified by the campaigns
conducted by, federations and
welfare funds in cities through-
out the country—resulted 'in
more than a 326 percent increase
during the five-year period end-
ing December 1946, it was report-
ed by the Council of Jewish Fed-
erations and Welfare Funds on
the basis of ' a recent special
study.
, The study disclosed that 160
member agencies raised nearly
$105,000,000 in 1946 as against
$50,000,000 in 1945, $40,856,000 in
1944, $33,240,000 in 7943, and $24,-
620,000 in 1942.
The upward trend of campaign
goals was reflected by fewer
campaigns for goals of less than
$100,000 and the tremendous in-
crease in the number of cam-
paigns seeking $100,000 or more.
In the $100,000 to $499,999 cate-
gory, the number rose from 17
campaigns in 1942 to 78 in 1946.
The $500,000 and over campaigns
grew from seven to 23 in that
period.

Mrs. Stephen S. (Louise Water-
man) • Wise, a call for action in
the fight for freedom, and presen-
tation of honors to members who
have distinguished themselves in
the membership drive featured
the luncheon of the Women's Di-

- The tribute in verse, written in
memory of Mrs. Wise by Mrs.
Landsman, was read by Mrs.
Landsman's sister, M r s . Harold
Silverston.
Mrs. Landsman's poetic tribute
to Mrs. Wise follows:
You will live on, great Spirit of ; a
You will live on within the hearts
you understood—
Within the minds and thoughts of all
whose good
You had at heart!
Within the fires you have kindled in
the gloom
Of Man's injustice—bright, your light
. shall loom;
And in the fertile soil of every kindly
deed
Toward Man—no matter what his race
or creed—
The warmth of your great spirit shall
remain,
Nourishing growth, like sun or gentle
rain.
Yours was a quiet wisdom, deep and
vast,
Reaching ahead—yet searching in the
past;
Yours was a quiet courage, staunch
and sure,
Stretching its roots in earth, enriched
and pure;
Yours ' was a Godly gift, priceless
since Time began,
Of knowing well the heart of every
man.
Soul of an artist—Yours, a power, rare,
The art of seeing beauty everywhere;
A love of living things, without com-
pare;
A need the beauty that you saw to
share;
And always, a reflection of yourself,
anew,
Shall come to all who look upon the
things you drew.
A Mother's part
Of selflessness and understanding you
have played-
Gentle—yet firm and strong and un-
afraid.
You shall live on! Your noble Spirit
shall impart
The human kinship you've inspired in
each heart.
