Plea for. AJC Campaign
In an appeal for a liberal re-
sponse by the community to the
Allied Jewish Campaign, Harvey
H.- doldrhan, co-chairman of the
drive with Irving Blumberg,
stated:
"The Allied Jewish Campaign
is your expression of kinship
with all these causes and many
more. -It links you with the refu-
gee in Israel, AMerica, Detroit;
with Sinai Hospital; with voca-
tional services; with Jewish cul-
tural development; with a Hillel
Foundation service for your son
or daughter at college. All the
services we want to support to,
gether are the - Allied Jewish
campaign.
- "We are determined in 1953 to
meet the minimum requirements
of $5,100,000, of which 60% will
go for Overseas and Israel
causes. This will make an addi-
tional $400,000 available for con-:
structive programs in Israel and
rescue in Europe. It will make it
possible to maintain our , local
services including Sinai Hospital,
the newest member of our fami-
ly; it will reinforce our de-
termination to continue the de-
velopment of local facilities for
the aged, recreation, education
and camping. It will enable our
great national agencies to con-
tinue to serve us.
Many among us have already
expressed their deterthination to
turn all these plans into reali-
ties this year. Detroiters partiel-
Pating in the national UJA
meeting in Miami announced
gifts totalling over $1,100,000 and
representing an increase of 15%
over 1952.
"If you have not already en-
rolled as a worker, I urge you to
do so immediately. If you are a
worker I _plead with you to get
the campaign story to your pros-
pects more effectively than ever.
You can make this the best cam-
paign year in our history by the
way you work and the way you
give."

Rubiner's Report
In his annual report as presi-
dent of Federation, Samuel H.
Rubiner spoke of the "intensi-
fied bond of friendship" that
"has developed between the De-
troit Jewish community and
Jews all over the world" as a
result of a program of "gener-
osity, thoughtful planning and
organized services."
Describing this community's
generosity, he compared the con-
tributions of $738,000 made by
3,000 people in 1926 to the Allied
Jewish Campaign gifts of $4,-
400,000 made by 28,000 people in
1952.
In the seven years of organ-
ized effort in Detroit since the
end of World War II, Mr. Rubi
ner reported, "Detroit' has made
available for overseas and Israel
almost $22,000,000 for life-saving
and the reconstruction of the
survivors of Nazi barbarism." He
outlined the accomplishments of
