Women's G-Day Efforts Net $100,000 Allied Campaign's Leaders Encouraged by Day's Work On the Record Lay Cornerstone for Technion Institute of Aeronautics By NATHAN ZIPRIN (Copyright, 1953, Seven Arts Feature Syndicate) 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. JNF Fund Raising Status Clarified By Agency; Traditional Income Urged 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.

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.
