Relief -- in - kind contributions
from the United. States to needy
Jews in Europe set a new record
during the first- six months of
1948, it was announced by the
SOS (Supplies for Overseas Sur-
vivors) Collection of the Joint
Distribution Committee.
More than 6,561,000 pounds of
canned foods, new and used
clothing, medical items and other
relief supplies were contributed
to SOS from Jan. 1, 1948 through
June 30, 1948, more than double
the amount received by SOS
during the first six months of
1947.
These supplies, it was stated
by Mrs. Isaac Gilman, SOS na-
tional co-chairman, were raised
chiefly through city-wide SOS
door-to-door collection campaigns
in cities throughout the United
States. The quota for the one-
day Detroit SOS drive on Sun-
day, Oct. 31, is 500,000 pounds of
clothes and canned food.
The Joint Distribution Corn-
matte, which sponsors and fin-
ances the SOS Collection, dis-
tributes SOS supplies to needy
Jews in 16 European countries,
through its regular overseas re-
lief and rehabilitation programs,
which are made possible by the
United Jewish Appeal.
SOS overseas shipments dur-
ing the first six months of 1948
totalled more than 6,956,000
pounds, including a back-log of
1,88,000 pounds of supplies col-
lected last December.
Needy Jews in the Displaced
Persons Camps of Germany, Aus-
tria and Italy, and Jews •in Cy-
prus waiting to leave for Israel,
received more than 81 per cent
of the supplies shipped by the
SOS Collection: a total of 5,433,-
000 pounds.
Other large shipments went to
needy Jews in Hungary (771,000)
pounds; France (332,000 pounds);
Poland (310,000 pounds); Bul-
garia - (58,000 pounds), and
Czechoslovakia (38,000 pounds).
