Women's Division "G - Day"
workers scored a triumph for the
1953 Allied' Jewish Campaign on
their all-out General Solicita-
tion day, Sunday. In the 1952
drive, the Division raised $72,000
from "G-Day" and it appears
that the figure will be exceeded
with a wide margin this year.
A total of $66,000 was returned
to "G-Day" headquarters, at
State Fairgrounds, on April 26,
and approximately another $10,-
000 was brought into campaign
headquarters, the Fred M. But-
Del Memorial Building, by cap-
tains, the following day. "Mop-
up" operations should send the
total figure within reach of the
$100,000 goal which the women
have set for themselves.
Mrs. Zeldon S. Cohen was
chosen "V o 1 u n e r of the
Year." She was presented with
an etching by J. Eisenberg
which was selected by Mrs.
John C. Hopp, president of
the Women's Division, on her
recent trip to Israel.
Mrs. Alexander W. Sanders.
chairman of General Solicita-
tion, stated: "I am thrilled with
the overwhelming response of
the Jewish women of Detroit
who made gifts beyond those of
their husbands and families.
Through the tireless efforts of
the workers, this project, the
solicitation of 15,000 women in
one day, was a success. Despite
the rain, the workers faithfully
fulfilled their duties."
Mrs. Raymond A. Sokolov, "G-
Day" chairman, reported, "Many
weeks' solicitation was summed
up on "G-Day." This concen-
tration of work into one day has
immeasurably speeded up the
giving of aid to the Allied Jew-
ish Campaign's many local, na-
tional and overseas beneficiaries."
A general solicitation report
meeting will be held from 10:30
a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday, at
the Davison Jewish Center.

Good Direction
The Union of American Hebrew Congregations took an im-
portant step forward when it laid down the thesis that the strug-
gle for the preservation of civil liberties was not only a proper but
essential function of the synagogue. If there is any one single
reason for the lack of wider participation by the youth of the
country in the organized expressions of religion it is because of
the prevailing belief—an erroneous one of course--that religion
is exclusively dedicated to the service of God and not to the serv-
ice of the social structure in all its facets. I am convinced that
if the churches and synagogues and temples of the country were
to show a keener practical awareness of the problems of the day
there would be no need for inducement and exhortation to bring
the young to God's thresholds.
Books and Authors
When I finished reading Ashley Montagu's "The Natural Su-
periority of Women," a Macmillan publication, I rushed to the
prayer book with a heavy pencil determined to erase that portion
of the prayer in which the male delivers himself of gratitude to
the Almighty that he was not born a woman. That's how con-
vincing the author's thesis sounds. Among the gems are such
facts as: Man is only an incomplete female; women's brains are
larger than men's; women are constitutionally stronger than men
and they are seven times less likely to go insane than men;
fewer women commit suicide than men and the female species is
more humane than the male. The purpose of the book is not
only to debunk the myth about the inferiority of women, but, as
the author says, "to bring the sexes closer together, not to set
them apart by placing oneabove the other."

HAIFA, (JTA) — The corner-
stone for an Aeronautics Insti-
tute of the Haifa Institute of
Technology was laid at the new
site of the Technion at cere-
monies attended by the Mayor
of Haifa, representatives of the
Israel Government and a dele-
gation from the American
Friends of the Technion..
The building, located on Mt.
Carmel, east of the city, is ex-
pected to be completed by the
end of 1953. It is part of a $20,-
000,000 project to establish the
Institute on a new campus and
expand its facilities at the same
time.

Vacations come so rarely that they are a treat even in con-
templation. My vacation dream began in the dreary month of
March when winter seemed endless and warmth was but a mem-
ory associated with stove and hearth. Now the contemplation
period, the best perhaps, is over and I am on my way to uncertain
reality—a four-week vacation in May when I hope to rest my
weary fingers from pen and my fatigued typewriter from merci-
less pounding. I have no vacation agenda, except to improve my
pinochle luck and skill. Shalom and au revoir.
