rriHE INSPIRING JOB

of immigrant absorption - and economic stabiliza-

I tion in Israel is under way. The more than 700,000 immigrants

`brought to Israel since 1948 must be knit into the fabric of a stable,
viable, creative society. Thousands upon thousands of additional acres
rust be put under cultivation. Agricultural settlements and housing
projects must go up everywhere.
This effort to make the land more fruitful and its immigrants pro-
ductive and self-sustaining represents the most challenging and formi- .
dahle task since the start four and a halfyears ago of the dramatic and
unprecedented ingathering of exiles; In 1953, the task of prbSiding free
funds for these great and urgent programs is the continuing responsibility
of the UNITED JEWISH APPEAL.
UJA dollars are the lifeblood of Israel's new, dynamic society. They
are vital to Israel's healthy growth. In 1953, then, UJA funds must slow
with renewed vigor.

Warranted and Unwarranted Campaigns

In addition to the UNITED JEWISH APPEAL, there are other
authorized organizations with established records of constructive work
m Israel that can claim public support in the United States.
The Jewish Agency for Palestine,"with the support of the Israel
Government, and in wsponse to requests from the organized Jewish
community in the United States, set up in j949 a COMMITTEE ON
CONTROL AND AUTHORIZATION OF CAMPAIGNS. This Committee passes
on the validity and general usefulness of all proposed campaigns for
institutions and projects in Israel.
On occasion, new campaigns for limited purposes have been
launched by individuals and organizations. Some of these have put
forth claims not always warranted by facts, and have requested support
out of proportion to their. importance.

When in Doubt

The Committee on Control and Authorization of Campaigns will
shortly publish its 1953 list of authorized campaigns. Until such a list is •
published, whenever you are in doubt write to the JEWISH AGENCY
FOR PALESTINE, CoMmittee on • Control and Authorization of
Campaigns, 16 East 66th Street, New York City.
However, nothing surpasses the importance of the UNITED
JEWISH APPEAL for Israel's future. The country's great potential of
material- and moral growth depends on continuous, uninterrupted
support of UJA: In 1953 a contribution to the - UNITED JEWISH
APPEAL is an investment in Israel's stability and a vote'of confidence
in the 1,500,000 .men and women who are building a powerful demo-
eratic society in the Middle East.
