A MESSAGE FROM AGENCY LEADERS

BIG D a y volunteers will
gather Sunday morning,
March 9, at the United Dairy
Workers Building, 2nd Blvd.,
between Sears and Midland, to
hold a mass rally and to re-
ceive assignments before set-
ting out en mass to visit every
Jewish home in Detroit. •
Special transportation ar-
rangements are being made to
facilitate getting workers to
and from BIG Day headquar-
ters and the homes of pros-
pects. .
After workers complete their
assignments on BIG Day, they
will return to the United Dairy
Workers Building for a sales
report meeting.
A giant victory and Purim

celebration, starring Joey Adams
and Molly Picon, will be held
Wednesday, March 12, 8:30 p.m.,
in the Masonic Auditorium, as a
tribute to Detroit's BIG Day
campaign.
Admission to the celebration
will be limited to those who pur-
chase bonds on BIG Day and
the many volunteers who will
serve actively in the BIG Day

campaign.
Joey Adams, now in Israel,
will return to the United
States in time to headline the
March 12 show with the wit
and humor that has earned
him the plaudits of audiences
from coast to coast.
Molly Picon, noted actress of
stage, screen and radio, will
bring her inimitable talents to
the show, saluting Detroit's
efforts in the BIG Day drive.
Other artists to appear on
the program are Ray Leizer,
handless Israeli concert pian-
ist, who has received interna-
tional acclaim; Razy, Oren and
Lein, who combine their tal-
ents to produce a joint pro-
gram of Israeli dance and
music entitled "A Night in
Israel," and Bess Greenwald,
gifted monologuist.

Detroit's BIG Day' Committee
is making final arrangements for
each of the volunteers to attend
a training meeting to qualify
them as Israel bond salesmen.

A series of nine afternoon
and evening meetings has been
arranged at the Jewish War
Veterans Memorial Building,
Davison at Petoskey, from
March 3 through March '7.

8—THE JEWISH NEWS

Friday, Februarp 29. 19.5.2

AGAINST the proposed AMENDMENT

fo the Federation By-Laws sponsored by the Jewish Community Council. As officers of
member agencies, we have found the Federation budgeting procedure sound and re-
sponsible. The Budget committees are made up of fair-minded people, including repre-
sentatives of the Council, and other agencies who are devoted to the welfare of the total
community.

The proposed amendment is an attempt by the Jewish Community Council to
win special treatment for itself.

The amendment is a move to destroy the orderly, rational procedure by which
agencies and programs are budgeted in the general community and in the Jew-
ish field in every organized community in America.

The amendment could force Federation to discriminate against our agencies,
since we receive funds only for an approved program, while the Jewish Com-
munity Council would receive funds in any amount to be used in any way it
chose.

The amendment would give the Council unrestricted authority over community
funds without responsibility to the contributors or to the central agency
organized to raise and distribute the funds.

We find no foundation for the complaints that Federation's budget procedure has
oppressed the Jewish Community Council. The Council's grant from Federation has
grown from $3,000 in 1936 to $13,000 in 1941, to over $45,000 in 1945, to $77,985 in
1951. Its present budget is $15,000 more than the budget of any Jewish community re-
lations agency in any comparable city in America.
