Guest Editorial
The Zionist Peace Fund
By HARRY COHEN
Chairman, Balfour Ball Committee
On November 5, at Hotel Statler, the Zionist Organiza-
tion of Detroit again will sponsor its annual Balfour Ball,
proceeds of which will be used to finance youth, educational
and public relations activities.
To me, the new Zionist fund is a "Peace Fund" for the
propagation of the Zionist ideal and for the advancement of
Jewish culture.
The Zionist Peace Fund this year will finance the work
of our office and the following functions whose successes are
important not only for the Zionist movement but equally as
xnuch for the entire Jewish community:
1. Scholarships for students in Israel. We already have
sent one Detroiter to Israel on a scholarship. We hope to
continue this practice, on a larger scale.
2. Youth Activities: By sponsoring the work of the
Zionist Youth Commission we are aiding Young Judaea and
other youth movements. It is one of the most urgent under-
takings and deserves wholehearted cooperation from De-
troit Jews.
3. Brandeis Camps: Each year, several Detroit youths .
receive leadership training in Brandeis Camps. We are proud
of this aspect of our work.
Balfour Ball income also finances public relations and
other activities.
„ In behalf of these causes, I hope that Detroit Jews will
give us their wholehearted cooperation by enrolling as pa-
trons for the Balfour Ball and by encouraging us in our
work.
