It is truly thrilling tb see Detroit's army of
Allied Jewish- Campaign workers mobilize in
behalf of the 50 causes the Allied Jewish Cam-
paign serves. It is inspirational to see an entire
community unite in support of Jewish causes
locally, in the United States, overseas and in
Israel.
Social consciousness is evidenced in in-

How successful our campaign will be de-
pends on the generosity of- each of us and our
depth of feeling for our fellow Jews.
The success of the 1957 Allied Jewish Cam-
paign will depend upon how successful it is
with each of us as individuals. It depends upon
how personally dedicated each of us is to seeing
that the entire campaign succeeds. It depends
upon what extent the prospect of being able to

If- each contributor will promptly make his
generous gift and then - add even a little more
to it for good measure, if each worker will
spend enough time with each of his prospects
to really explain this year's needs, if all of us
discuss the campaign and urge participation
in it at every opportunity, we will have a most
successful campaign. "
Just how successful the Allied Jewish Cam-
paign will be depends on each of us, and all of
us.
A world of service and help is at stake.

By MAX M. FISHER
Chairman, 1957 Allied Jewish Campaign
This year, because there is an Israel, we can
give" freedom to 100,000 Jews who need it
as essentially as they need air to breathe.
Through substantially increased giving to
the 1957 Allied Jewish Campaign, we support
the United Jewish Appeal and the UJA extra
$100,000,000 Emergency Rescue Fund.
Following the November revolts in Hungary,
17,000 Jews had surmounted all obstacles to
flight and reached freedom in Austria. We have
helped settle over 60 of these escapees in De-
troit. Thousands remain in Austria awaiting
settlement in the United States, Canada. Israel
and other free countries.
Tens of thousands of Jews are fleeing other
countries in Eastern Europe and North Africa
whose gates had been thought - closed to immi-
gration. They must leave as fast as possible
before escape is cut off again.
The 50,000 Jews of Egypt are in gravest
peril. More than 11,000 have already been
expelled. Because Egyptian Jews have had
their property confiscated and their funds froz-
en, the Jewish Agency, a UJA beneficiary, has
notified all airlines and shipping firms that
it will Flake good transportation charges to
Israel for any Jew without funds.
Jewish refugees are on the move again, VIA
this time, unlike Hitler days, we can make their
move a move of freedom.
Through the 1957 Allied Jewish Campaign,
we must support our agencies in Detroit that
provide essential services in health, welfare,
Jewish education and the community relations
fields, and help meet overseas needs.
With our local agencies we are a strong
community, able to care for Jewish needs local-
ly, nationally and overseas. The 1957 Allied
Jewish Campaign gives each of us a chance
to demonstrate that these needs are our re-.
sponsibility.
