GUEST SPEAKER

MRS. WM. KLAFER

,J

fifty years of effort in behalf
of land redemption, through the
Keren Kayemeth, we in Detroit
are proud of the share we have
in this work.
We rejoice that in redeeming
the land for the people of Israel
we have been enabled to give a
foothold to those of our people
who have settled on the land
you and I have redeemed.
By joining with us in the
great task represented by the
Jewish National Fund, Detroit
Jews have helped keep alive in
the hearts and minds of our
people the hope of Prof. Her-
mann Schapira—the creator of
the Kereh Keyemeth ideal—
that, with our pennies and our
dimes and our dollars we must
carry on the job of acquiring the
soil inch by inch, if necessary.
For more than 20 years the
Ladies' Auxiliary of the Jewish
National Fund has been a vital
force in our community, con-
stantly reminding neighbors,
friends, relatives to give more
and more, as the needs grew.
This year it has been my
great privilege to serve as your
fund-raising chairman. I was
ably assisted by Mrs. Albert
Prag, Mrs. Philip Cutler and my
three co-chairmen — Mesdames
Sidney Ravin, Albert Newman
and Seldon Leach—and a strong
army of more than 100 workers
who have stood by my side to
make this. glorious victory pos-
sible.
I wish to thank the many
eontributors, the staff and offi-
cers of the J e w is h National
Fund C o u n c i 1, Mrs. Harry
Schwartz, who has served loy-
ally as office secretary, The
Jewish News and all who have
worked with us so loyally.
The Jewish State is young and
needs the security of our affec-
tion that goes with every gift of
money and effort we, the worn-
en of Detroit, have poured into
this noble task annually.
I am proud to have been ac-
corded the opportunity to serve.
May we meet again next year
under blue skies and with
happy, peaceful hearts.

day to be a reality. This is the •
first time in twenty centuries
that the Jewish people are able
to celebrate a•Jubilee whose true
meaning has to do with Free-
dom and the return of our peo-
ple to their land.
We have in Israel today a
million and a quarter Jews, with
their own government, their
own army, their own post office.
The spokesmen for the State of
Israel sit with the nations of
the world, as participants in
solving the problem of human- .
ity which is struggling for its
existence.
Who would have dreamed fifty
years ago that we would realize
these great accomplishments in
our time!
It is evident that consecra-
tion to service dominates Amer-
ican Jewry. Dedication to the
ideal of seeing Israel through
her crisis is very important to
the Jews of America. Thanks
to the help and cooperation of
the Detroit Jewish Community,
the Ladies' Auxiliary of the
Jewish National Fund has been
a great force in helping raise
large surus for the purchase of
land in Israel. ' We are very
proud to have a Nachlah to per-
petuate our work.
It has been a - thrilling cam-
paign from start to finish —
marked by the hopefulness of
the cause we served, the gener-
ous response of our Detroit fel-
low-Jews, the enthusiasm, en-
ergy and faith of the women
who did the work.
At this time, I wish to express
my sincere thanks and appreci,-
ation to Mrs. William Klafer,
General Fund-Raising Chair-
man, and her entire staff of of-
ficers and workers, and to all
members of the Ladies' Auxili-
ary of the Jewish National
Fund, for the wonderful job
they have done this year's
campaign.
We hope and trust that there
will be peace on earth and that
We should continue to go for-
ward in this noble task.

STAR SPANGLED BANNER

•
Oh say, can you see,
by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed
at the twilight's -last gleaming.

Whose broad stripes and bright stain
thro' the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched
were so gallantly streaming.

And the rockets' red glare and
bombs bursting in air
Gave proof thro' the night that
our flag was still there;

Oh say, does that Star Spangled
Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
and the home of the brave.
