With this slogan in mind as

Mo'os Hitim Committee, this
week announced the beginning
of this year's drive for funds.

do not receive city welfare funds
or help from any community
organization do get necessary
items which will allow them to
celebrate Passover in true Jew-
ish tradition.
Over 60 families were assist-
ed last year, Cohen stated, and

this year there are at least that

many to aid again. Checks for
food and matzo orders are. mail-
ed to recipients two weeks be-
fore Passover, and distribution.
of money received depends on
the amount of money received.
Letters have been mailed out
to contributors of previous years,
and they are urged by Cohen to
return their remittances prompt-
ly. Those who wish to contrib-
ute to the fund should write to
