Of Doorbells and Pledge Cards

BY CHARLOTTE HYAMS

It was a new experience for
me, doorbell campaigning.
I had not-so fond memories of
trying to sell girl scout cookies
some time back. But even then, the
only cookies I sold were to my
mother and my aunt. For some
reason, I'd get all apologetic and
shy, and I'd end up buying pot
holders and magazines from my
customers.
This year, though, I was selling
something I really believed in. How
could I fail? Aren't Jews always
willing to help their fellow Jews?
The Allied Jewish Campaign, I
figured, was one item that wouldn't
require a hard sell.
Well.

parent I would emphasize educa-
tion and aid to needy children. To
the middle aged I would stress
elderly parents and poor con-
temporaries abroad. You know,
this type of thing.

So zealous was I in my project
that I craftily quizzed others
with whom I came in contact.
"Oh, by the way," I would put
in during pauses in the conversa-
tion, "who took YOUR pledge

this year, hmmm?"
Well.
There was the young wife who
wouldn't think of making a pledge
without consulting her husband.
Which is only right, I reasoned.
Unfortunately, when I finally
reached the young husband, he
said he wouldn't mind making a
pledge, but first he would have to
consult his wife, and she's out
playing mahj (Togetherness, I
think they call it).
Infiltrated the mahj group and
got her pledge.

Like a bloodhound, I tracked
one fellow out to the suburbs.
Phoned him long distance, too.
"Listen, I can't talk now," he said,
"I'm giving a party. Call to-
morrow."
I called tomorrow. Long distance.
"Gee, I'd like to help you out,"
he said, "but I'm short on funds
right now (I believed him; that
party sounded terrific). Why don't
you call next week?"
Called next week. He had some
people over. Crashed the party and
got his pledge.

"No, I won't give," said one
woman, "because part of the
money goes to an organization I
don't like."
"But, my dear," I cried, -"per-
haps one cent of your contribution
will go to that group! Will you let
the others suffer because of that
one cent?" I had put in my two
cents' worth, but she still looked
doubtful.
"I have a suggestion," I sug-

gested modestly. "If you will
give $100 to the Campaign, I will
see to it that one cent is de-
ducted and refunded to you.
Okay? Okay?

Well, it wasn't okay. But an hour
and three cups of coffee (on me)
later, she pledged something.

Then there was my Sunday
school class. That week we were
learning the letter "tzadee." Tza-
dee is the first letter in "tzedakah,"
they were told. And the Allied
Jewish Campaign is the best kind
of tzedakah.
"I'll give my ice cream money,"
offered Sarah.
"I'll give my ice cream money
AND my milk money," said Chana
Leah, who is not one to be out-
done.
"I'm going to give two dollars,"
Avraham announced grandly.
"Well, now, wait a minute," I
cautioned, "you don't want to give
TOO much . . ."
THIS problem I'd never had be-
fore. Didn't even have a pledge
card for them. But, after all, 6-
year-olds are pretty good at keep-
ing promises.
