Bnai Brith. Drive for Membership
Highlights Philanthropic Endeavors

Local chapters of the Greater
Detroit Bnai Brith Women's
Council this week are carrying
out their membership and mem-
bership retention drive.
In highlighting the drive for
members, Mrs. M. J. Silver,
preident of District Six, to
which the 19 Detroit chapters
belong, recently reported her ex-
periences at the National Jew-
ish Hospital at Denver.
The institution, one of the
many Bnai Brith philanthropies,
has 278 patients. Mrs. Silver told
of the development of INH, a
vitamin being used in research
at the hospital which seems to
have a desired effect on the tu-
bercular patients.
In the hospital Mrs. Silver
relates, she met and talked with
a young lady from Israel, anoth-
er from Czechoslovakia, a young
man from India, an older man
from Yugoslavia, a Negress from
Chicago and a Philippino.

For the information
of contributors
to Israel causes in 1954

The year 1954 is a momentous year in the life of the new State of

Israel. Only five and a half years old, Israel has already passed the
half-way mark to economic independence. However, to withstand the

economic pressures brought to bear by hostile neighbors and the ten-
sion and danger on its every frontier, Israel must accelerate the pace
of its march towards self-sufficiency.

The key to this accomplishment is the absorption of recent immi-
grants, with all the far-flung operations that it requires. Only if Israel's
people receive the resources they need, at the time they need them,
can they put under cultivation every available parcel of land, surmount
the obstacles of nature, and continue to welcome every homeless Jew
who comes to them from lands of oppression and danger.

Although the Israelis are celebrated for their imagination, endur-
ance and will-power, they cannot achieve these goals without the
continued vigorous support of the American people. The United
Jewish Appeal has been the instrumentality through which Americans
in the past have supported the progressive advance of Israel's people.
In 1954 the people of America are urged to intensify their support
of the UJA's life-saving „and freedom-serving campaign.

Warranted and Unwarranted Campaigns
In this crucial period it is more important than ever that the United
Jewish Appeal have priority in timing over all other philanthropic
efforts in behalf of Israel. In addition to the United Jewish Appeal,
there are other authorized organizations with established records of
constructive work in Israel that can claim public support in the
United States.

The Jewish Agency for Palestine, with the support of the Israel
Government, and in response to requests from the organized Jewish
community in the United States, set up in 1949 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 1954 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 Authoriza-
tion of Campaigns, 16 East 66th Street, New York City.

However, nothing surpasses the importance of the UNITED JEWISH
APPEAL for the future of Israel's people. Their ability to preserve
past achievements and move forward to self-sufficiency depends on
an intensified UNITED JEWISH APPEAL. A contribution to the UJA
is a vote of confidence in 1,600,000 men and women who are strug-
gling to build and strengthen their country as a stronghold of freedom
and a haven for the oppressed.

For these reasons, the Jewish Agency for Palestine urges even greater
support of the UNITED JEWISH APPEAL in 1954.
