Rabbi ,Benjamin Groner, speak-
ing at the Oct. 21 meeting, de-
clared that this year's drive rep-
resents "an examination of the
people's ability to meet the test
of great and Historic challenges.
The campaign is a challenge to
our pride and dignity as Jews
and is a warning for the smug

come aware of the great needs
of the hour."
