been remitted to New York for
immediate use for Histadrut
projects in Israel.

were inspired by addresses of

`New Phases of 1953'
. Feature Institute of
JNF Women's Division

I'm a woman in McKinley's age
I don't aspire to be wise or sage
In my day-embroidery is the rage
Oh, lovely age—oh, lovely age.

How Mrs. Average Housewife
has progressed from this "lovely
age" to today's comparative
"maturity" of interest in others
is the subject of a lively revue,
musical feature of this year's
January Institute of the Jewish
Welfare Federation Women's
Division, to be held Wednesday,
Jan. 28, at Temple Israel, to be
devoted to "New Phases of
1953."
Beginning with a woman in
the late 19th Century, the revue
progressses on to the Lady
Bountiful era. In the words of
the script:

Were doing our good deed each day
The needs of the poor allay
We fill our baskets high
Food and clothing we supply
We're doing our good deed each day.

rael while the audience joined
in. the tribute.

Halley declared that the
reality of Israel today couldn't
be without Histadrut. He as-
serted that Israel is the only
politically stable factor in the
Near East and urged that the
United States should do all it
can to assure security for the
Jewish state as a vital partner
in the battle for democracy.

Mr. Halley stressed that the
Histadrut in Israel has been
unique in its diversified achieve-
ments, not only in. the labor
union field, but in building
holines and community institu-
tions throughout the land, estab -
lishing cooperative enterprises
for new immigrants and provid-
ing medical care fop , nearly one
million men, women and chil -
dren.
Rabbi Leon Fram gave the
invocation at the 'opening cam-
paign rally. The musical pro-
gram was provided by Miss Ruth
Kobart, accompanied by Rebek-
ah Frohman.

ious divisions and landsman-
schaften indicate that initial
solicitations are' showing sub-
stantial increases over last year.
