The Detroit City Directory for
1867-68 lists Simon Cohen as
being associated with J. Sitting
at 151 Woodward and the Di-
rectory for 1809-70 shows that
S. & M. Cohen were established
at that address. In 1871 the
firm had moved to 165 Wood-
ward.
The hat box is small, oval in
shape, and measures 101/2x8x5.
The paper covering is gray with
small white polka dots. The top
is wood with paper covering to
match the box proper. The, box
was made by Henry Fowler, a
paper box manufacturer in the
60's and 70's here, His label is
fixed to the underside of the
top.
As the accoutrements of a

to Mrs. Janet Ehnes of the "An-
tique House," at 28 Chandler

PRIORITY FOR U J A IN 1956
A Statement by the Jewish Agency
1956, American contributors to Israel causes face an unprecedented
challenge to their understanding and their generosity.
The people of Israel, faced with the gravest threat to their security
since the Arab invasion of 1948, are forced to devote all their resources
to coping with their precarious position.
They find it impossible to continue the substantial financial con-
tribution they have been making to the absorption- of emergency
immigration. The full burden of bringing the refugees to Israel from
North Africa, of caring for them, housing them, establishing them in
agricultural settlements and development areas, must inevitably fall
upon philanthropic funds. THE MOST IMPORTANT OF THESE IS
THE UNITED JEWISH APPEAL.
In the past year and a half, tens of thousands of Jews who felt
themselves in peril in North Africa have found haven in Israel, But at
least 100,000 more have applied to the Jewish Agency _for prompt
emigration and are awaiting their chance to go. Whether or not they
will have that opportunity depends on the results. of UJA's 1956
campaign.
IN
SPECIAL FUND' FOR NORTH AFRICAN IMMIGRATION
Faced with greatly increased needs, the UNITED JEWISH APPEAL
has set a dual goal for 1956 : the- provision of greatly increased sums
for vast programs of vital humanitarian activities in Israel and in
areas of danger and distress for Jews overseas, requiring $105,283,435,
and, in addition, the raising of a SPECIAL SURVIVAL FUND OF
$25,000,000 PLUS for the immigration and absorption in Israel of
North African refugees.
If these vitally important goals are to be achieved, WA must
have priority over all other campaigns for Israel causes. UJA must
have first call on the generosity and efforts of the American Jewish
community. The challenge of 1956 can be met effectively only through
greatly increased support of the regular UJA drive plus great extra
contributions to UJA's SPECIAL SURVIVAL FUND OF $25,000,000 PLUS.
There are other, authorized agencies with established records of
constructive effort in Israel that are entitled to support from the
American public. However, none of them surpass the pre-eminence
of the UNITED JEWISH APPEAL. On occasion new campaigns have
been launched by individuals and organizations which have put forth
claims not always warranted by facts and have requested support out
of proportion' to their importance.
WHEN IN DOUBT
The Jewish Agency for Palestine, with the approval of the Government
. of Israel and in response to requests from organized Jewish com-
munities in the United States, has had since 1949 a Committee on
Control and Authorization ofCampaigns. Its 1956 list of authorized
agencies will be published shortly.
Until that time, whenever you are in doubt, write to the JEWISH
AGENCY, INC., 16 East 66th Street, New York 21, N. Y.
