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.

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.
