an enrollment of 100 but had dwindled to 25, and virtually
wrecked it.
MILWAUKEE, Wis. The 1959 Welfare Fund campaign
nearing the $1,200,000 mark is likely to be the best in a decade
... In order to check improper fund-raising by "meshulochim," a
committee has been set up by the Welfare Fund to make a study
of itinerant solicitors to determine the extent of individual
approaches, the amounts contributed and the identity of bene-
ficiary institutions.
NEW YORK—Commenting on a fund-raising drive announced
several days ago by the National Council of Jewish Women, a
spokesman of the Jewish Agency stated: "According to an existing
agreement with the National Council of Jewish Women, the NCJW
may conduct among its own membership only a project to collect
$350,000 over the next four years for the purpose of establishing
a new building for a Jerusalem secondary school associated with
the John Dewey School of Education."

Burma's leaders and the entire Burmese nation toward Israel ...

depend upon Allied Jewish
Campaign funds and United
Jewish Appeal agencies for vital
aid programs.

Study Mission ever to make the
trip, will assemble in Vienna
Saturday, for a two and a half
day conference with leaders of
the Joint Distribution Commit-
tee and Israel's Jewish Agency.
Following orientation, they
will leave for Israel where they
will visit institutions for the
care of the aged, handicapped
and orphaned, the ma'aborot,
Israel's temporary shelter for
newly arrived immigrants and
farm settlements.

members will be received by
President Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, U.S.

INTERPRETATION is that creative quality which a per-
former brings to a work of art. It is this quality that marks
the genius of mezzo-soprano JENNIE TOUREL, one of the
most distiguished recitalists in the United States today.
Jennie Tourel will appear with Israeli violinist Shimon
Mishory at the 27th Balfour Concert on Saturday, 8:30
P.M., November 14 at the Ford Auditorium. It is through
your efforts that the important work of our Kfar Silver
Agricultural Institute and Children's Village in Israel can
be continued.
