Two Important Words: Greek `Seismos' To IVeW on Pirrents
22nd AnniVCISary
and English 'Joint' Stand for Relief

The Greeks have a word for '
it—seismos. In English, the word
means earthquake. To the Joint
Distribution Committee; world-
wide welfare agency aiding
needy Jews abroad, seismos in
Greece means an emergency aid
program to stricken Jews.
Recently an earthquake struck
the Thessalian city of Volo, with
its population of 300 Jews. Para-
doxically, because there were
two earthquakes, human casual-
ties • were kept at a minimum.
The first but gentler quake on
April 19 served notice that trou-
ble was imminent; a few hours
later, the more severe earth-
quake hit. But by then residents
of Volo had cleared out of their
homes to the open spaces. The
earthquake turned the residen-
tial district into a shambles.
The Greek Jewish community,
using 'funds allocated by JDC,
which 'in turn derives- its in-
come from the United Jewish
Appeal, immediately dispatched
money and tents to help and
house the homeless Jews in the
community. Nearly 45 Jewish
families have enough financial
potential to recoup their per-
sonal losses with the help of
loans; the remaining famil
earn only a small amount of
money or are too poor to con-
sider spending any money• be-
yond their day-to-day needs. The
government has announced plans
to aid them, while JDC and the
Greek Jewish community will

continue to give supplementary
help where necessary.
The latest earthquake occa-
sioned the third annual call for
JDC help by Greek Jews. In
1953, three Ionian Islands off
the coast of Greece were com-
pletely razed, rendering 40 Jews
homeless and helpless. In 1954 a
quake struck Thessaly in north-
ern Greece, scene also of the
most recent tremors, in a matter
of a few seconds destroying the
homes - and futures of 300 Jews
in the area. Some of the victims
of the April 19-20 tragedy this
year were those who have been
living since the 1954 earthquake
in canvas tents awaiting the
time permanent places could be
found for them or until they
could emigrate to other lands.
In every case, JDC—the "Joint"
—was asked to help provide the
victims with immediate and ex-

70 Jewish Institutions Tor Aged
Increase Facilities, Aid 9,400

NEW YORK, (JTA) — Every
community in the United States
with a Jewish populatiOn of 30,000
or more — except Washington —
maintains its own Jewish hospi-
tal, the Council of Jewish Federa-
tions and Welfare Funds re-
ported. In addition, several com-
munities with smaller Jewish
populations have their own Jew=
ish hospitals.
Last year an estimated 500,000
patients . received care in 60 Jew-
ish hospitals in this country, the
report established. About half of
the patients were Jews, although
this figure varied with each com-
munity and hospital.
The Jewish hospitals, the re-
port emphasized, continue to seek
improved techniques in combat-
ting illness of all kinds. "They
are improving their in-patient
and out-patient departments, ex-
panding home care programs,
stimulating medical research and
joining with other community ag-
encies to help build integrated
programs where needed," the
CJFWF stated. It pointed out that
care of the Jewish aged and hos-
pital care continued an uninter-
rupted five-year upward trend
last year.

College Weighs Bequest
Denying Fel 1pwships
to Jews and Negroes

LONDON (JTA)—The author-
ities of St. Johns College of
Cambridge were deliberating
whether to accept a bequest of
50,400 pounds for medical fel-
lowships which was conditioned
upon a denial of the fellowships
to Jews or Negroes.
The bequest, left in the will
of Mrs. Margaret Pauline Meres
or Torquay, stipulated that the
fellowships established with
these funds be held only by
men of "pure" Scottish, Irish or
English parentage. "It is par-
ticularly desired that no colored
person or Jew be allowed to
participate," the will stated.
A spokesman for the college
said that the restrictions were
"very unusual" and the college
would have to go into them
very carefully before - deciding
whether or not to accept the be-
quest.

100 Jewish Youths Camp,.
Complete Leadership Course

According to the CJWF,
there has been a cumulative in-
crease of .31 percent since 1949
in the number of beds available
for the aged and the chroni-
cally ill aged; and a cumulative
rise in the same period of 28
percent in the actual number of
aged resident served. The in ,-
crease in days care reported by
hospitals under Jewish aus-
pices, increased by 21 percent
since 1949. The number of days
care was 4,470,000 in 1949 and
increased to 5,400,000 in 1954.
The CJFWF also reports great-
er receipts in -Jewish agencies
from fees. for service and from
public funds. Payments for serv-
ice increased b.y 10 percent over
1953, while receipts from public
funds showed a 7 percent rise.
Fees for service in family agen-
cies amounted to only 2.8 percent
of the total receipts. Nevertheless,
this figure represents a 33 per-
cent rise over 1953. Most agencies
maintained their 1953 levels of
service or even expanded them in
some areas despite a dip in com-
munity fund raising results.
Cared For 9,400 Aged
Bed space for the aged showed
a four percent increase -in 1954,
thereby continuing the overall
upward trend begun in 1949.
There is also mounting pressure
for care of the chronically ill
aged and mildly disturbed older
persons. Filling vacant beds al-
most as fast as new facilities are
completed, the number of aged
estimated to be receiving care in
some 70 Jewish institutions,
reached a peak of 9,400 at the
end of 1954, an increase of 3.4
percent over the same date of
1953, the CJFWF stated.
The number of patients treated
in Jewish hospitals last year
showed a rise of 7 percent. The
number of days of medical care
increased in the same period -by
five percent. One-fourth of the
patients received free hospital
care, a rise of four percent. These
totals, too, were part of the over-
all increase begun in 1949.

1955-56 JWB Jewish Caltndar
The 1955-56 edition of the offi-
cial Jewish Calendar for Mem-
bers of the Armed Forces used by
American Jewish servicemen in
three wars and in the periods in
between, came off the press this
week, it was announced by Col.
Harry D. Henshel, chairman of
the National Jewish Welfare
Board's Armed- Services Division.
Since 1917, when the first calen-
dar was issued by JWB, more-
than three and a half million
copies have been distributed.
More a handbook than a calen-
dar, the calendar contains valu-
able information of religious,
recreational and educational in-
terests to the Jewish GI.
