Honor Roll of

Allied Jewish Campaign Leaders expressed con-
fidence on May 20, at the workers' report meeting at
the Detroit Leland Hotel, that the 1949 goal of
$6,395,000 can be realized provided all prospective
contributors are reached and a sincere effort is made
to complete the job on the day set for the conclusion
of the drive.

Henry Wineman, honorary chairman of the campaign,
who presided at the meeting, admonished the workers that
"success depends on your sticking to the very last," and
announced the final meeting has been set for Tuesday eve-
ning,- May 31, at the -Jewish Center.
Mr. Wineman announced $4,213,974 was subscribed at
the time of the last meeting. This sum represents 66 per
cent of the goal covering 58 per cent of the prospects.
Berry, Sobeloff Make Strong Appeals
Louis Berry,. general chairman of the drive, and Isidore
Sobeloff, campaign director, made strong appeals. for an
earnest effort during the final days in order that Detroit
Jewry may fulfill its obligations to Israel, the homeless in
Europe and the numerous local causes included in the goal.
In his address, Mr. Sobeloff called the attention of the
gathering to the fact that May 20 marked the first anni-
versary of the death of Fred M. Butzel, and all stood in
tribute to the memory of the departed and revered leader.
Mr. Sobeloff called upon the workers to do in this drive
what Mr. Butzel, who was our • leading citizen and foremost
campaigner, would have wanted us to do.
Emphasizing he did not want to exploit the anniversary,
Mr. Sobeloff said it was necessary to revere Butzel's memory
because "he gave us something to revere and to follow."
Mr. Sobeloff pointed out that there still are outstanding
cards representing another $1,700,000 in last year's gifts,
which have not been renewed up to the time of the May 20
meeting, and he indicated that with a 10 per cent increase on
these pledges alone the complete goal can be reached.
Mrs. Celia Broder reported the Women's Division had
raised $570,000, 88 per cent of its goal. Ellen Karabenick
reported. the Junior Division had reached 53 per cent of its
goal—$53,000.
Brief addresses and reports were delivered by Samuel
Rubiner, Paul Zuckerman, Harry Platt, Barney Smith, Fred
Ginsburg, Milton • Mahler, Paul Broder, Sulvia Collins, and
other division leaders.
Blue Ribbon awards were made to a number of out-
standing division workers who already had completed their
assignments and had undertaken new tasks of soliciting
additional prospects. (Photo on Page 24).

"What's In So Far Is Good," Says Berry -

The Real Estate and Building Division, under the chairman-
ship of George D. Seyburn and Barney Smith, is holding the
lead among the Trade and Professional Divisions with 72 per cent
of its quota raised.
"What is in so far is good," General Campaign Chairman
Berry emphasized at Friday's meeting. "If we can do as well
on the rest of our slips as we have so far, we will reach our quota."
Workers in the Women's Division will celebrate their closing
of the "Homecoming" campaign at a luncheon and party on
Friday, June 17, at Knollwood Country Club. Featured in the
afternoon's entertainment will be a musical show, written by
Mrs. Leonard H. Weiner, which will prove that "Campaigning
Is a Circus."
Campaign chairmen, Mrs. Max Frank, Mrs. John C. Hoop and
Mrs. Henry Wineman are confident that. in covering the remaining
44 per cent of their slips, workers in the Women's Division will be
able to make a victory report at the party, June 17.
An average increase of 40 per cent over 1948 contributions .
from the same group has been secured by workers in the Auxiliary
Trade and Professional Division, who are working in the Real
Estate and Building group, Norman Naimark, division chairman,
announced at an auxiliary report meeting last week when division
workers reported on a total of 371 slips.
Gets 100 Pct. Increase on Every Slip
Outstanding workers in the Real Estate and Building group
were Al Feurring who secured a 100 per cent increase on every
slip he reported, and Ann Zack who reported contributions from
the largest number of persons who have not contributed previously.
The Auxiliary Division, made up of young members of the
Trade and Professional groups, has accepted a total of nearly
1,500 slips for coverage in the 194 campaign.
Blue Ribbon workers who were honored in this division in-
clude: Nora Altman, Portia Fox, Paul Newman, William Shapiro
and Harold Weiss,
