A number of individual divi-
sion report meetings are
planned by the Detroit Israel
Histadrut Campaign this week,
following closely . on the heels
of a community-wide worker's
a n d organization's breakfast
meeting last Sunday, at La-
char's.
Lazar Shupakevitz, director
of the Chicago Histadrut Cam-
paign, was guest speaker at the
program, at which workers
turned in a substantial number
of pledges and returns, indicat-
ing the drive may achieve its
goal of completion by the end
of January.
Shupakevitz, in urging work-
ers to continue at their high
rate of increase over previous
years during the emergency
situation that confronts Israel,
said:
"It .would appear that once
again the Jewish people are
making history. Search as you
will:through the pages of the
history books, nowhere will
you find a case where a nation
beset by problems similar to
those confronting Israel did not
have, somewhere in the world,
a friend.
"Not so, however, with Is-
rael," he continued. "Here the
tiny Jewish state and its peo-
ple are aware that they can
look for unconditional support
from one element only — the
Jews of the free nations. We
must not let them down."
This week, under the chair-
manship of Beryl Hearshen,
the Farb and Division has
scheduled a m'laveh malkeh
