In Giving; 70% of Goal Raised-

Berry Lauds Keidan Lodge, Knollwood CIukv As Examples
Of Greatly Increasing Efforts for Campaign; Present ,
Trends Point to Drive Going Over the Top

Last Friday's weather was inclement, but it did not
dampen the spirit of the volunteer workers for the Allied
Jewish Campaign. On the contrary, the enthusiastic group
that gathered at the campaign luticheon meeting at the Book
Cadillac Hotel was greatly heartened by the progress in the
drive.
Julian H. Krolik, president of the Jewish Welfare Fed-
eration, who presided at the meeting, reported that the total
reached in campaign pledges at the luncheon rose to $4,391,125
representing 70 per cent of goal of $6,200,000 and only 53
per cent of the prospective contributors.
With approximately 9,000 ( Muni.ch 630 of the 700 JDC em-
more people yet to be seen, ployees are displaced persons.

the campaign ,leaders felt

that the entire goal can be
raised, and the afternoon's
speaker, Louis Beiry, ex-
pressed the hope that it
would be oversubscribed.

Haganah—'Zion's West Point'
Describing Haganah as "Pales-
tine's West Point," Berry declar-
ed that getting to Palestine was
like arriving out of the darkness
of Europe to the light of Palestine.
He said that he watched the great
achievements in Eretz Israel with
a feeling of pride and that he
found something worth fighting
for.
"I saw the Haganah—OUR
Haganah—with a feeling of
pride," he declared. "They'll do a
good job in fighting; our respon-
sibility is to raise the funds. In
Palestine they are confident of
success, and all they ask us is
to give the money necessary for
security, The Jews of Palestine
know they are their brothers'
keepers and will fight to keep
Palestine's gates open for all who
wish to go there. We in America
have the finest deal in the world.
All we are expected to give is
our money. Let's fulfill our duty
completely."
Others who reported at last
Friday's meeting were: Louis Rob-
inson, who announced that the
furniture division had oversub-
scribed its goal with 20 per cent
of the prospectS yet to be covered
Fred Ginsburg, Ben Kramer,
Barney Smith, Max Schayowitz,
who announced that the super-
markets went over the top;
Martin Butzel, Paul Broder and
Mrs. S. B. Danto.
At Tuesday's report meeting,
at which Ben Silberstein pre-
sided, a total of $4,583,135-74
per cent of the goal—was re-
ported raised from 57 per cent
of the prospective donors.
Miss Doris MOss reported
that the Junior Division had
over subscribe4 its $75,000 goal.
Isidore Sobeloff, in an analysis
Of the status of the drive, showed
that 18,000 prospects are yet to
be seen.
Joe Holtzman called for re-
newed efrts to raise the entire
goal as speedily as possible.
Another campaign workers'
luncheon rally will be held to-
day at the Book-Cadillac Hotel.
All campaign workers are
called upon to complete their so-
licitations as speedly as possible
and to strive for maximum re-
sults in order to reach the $6,200,-
000 goal.

Of the total raised as of last
Friday, the Women's Division,
whose report was given by Mrs.
Abraham Cooper, raised $571,317
from 12,984 contributors, the sum
being 88 per cent of the division's
goal and 76 per cent of the pros-
pects.
Charles Levin reported that the
Junior Division had raised $72,-
500-96 per cent of the quota and
35 per cent of the prospects—the
contributors thus far having in-
creased last year's gifts by 165
per cent.
Irving Blumberg reported that
the trades and professional di-
visions had raised $3,270,223-
70 per cent of the quota and
48 per cent coverage of the slips.
Louis Freiberg announced that
the organizations division rais-
ed $33,636-36 per cent of the
goal and 27 per cent coverage of
slips.
Higher Standards
Krolik expressed his sense of
gratification over an attendance
that braved bad weather and:
pointed to it as a display of deep-
rooted devotion to a great cause.
He declared that the new stand-
ards of giving are significant be-
cause they "show a recognition
of . community responsibility that
will bring dividends in years to
come."
Berry, in a stirring address
describing his trip to Europe and
Palestine together with Joseph
Holtzman, warned that . more
difficult to raise funds after the
first 70 per cent of the goal has
been accounted for, and urged un-
relenting efforts to complete the
job. He expressed satisfaction
with the manner in which people
have responded thus far and the
interest in the needs of DPs and
the fighters for freedom 'in Pal-
estine. •
Notable Experiences

es in the drive, Berry told of

• On May 6, he reported, a group

'New Look in Giving'
. "If we continue along these
lines we will go over the top,"
Berry said. "It has become fash-
ionable to give well, we have a
new Took in community service,
and it is highly gratifying to us.
It gives a wonderful feeling to
know that people who last year
gave $200 are increasing to as
much as $2,000 and $3,000—be-
cause the money goes to the right
place. I have Watched the Europ-
ean scene. It is a factory that is
dealing in human beings."
Telling of his experiences in
DP camps, he said that he saw
what Joint Distribution Commit-
tee is doing, that it is an efficient
and economical job, that he
