Fargo Thrilled with 'Education Corps'
Montreal Jewry Marks
50th Campaign Year
MONTREAL (JTA) — The 50th
organized, united fund-raising cam-
paign of the Montreal Jewish com-
munity opened here last week with
a "Golden Jubilee Dinner" at Elm
Ridge Country Club honoring 62
men and women who have made
annual contributions for the last
half century.
The dinner was sponsored by the
Steinberg family for contributors of
$5,000 and over to the 1966 Com-
bined Jewish Appeal for Allied
Jewish Community Services and
United Israel Appeal.
It was on Jan. 2, 1917, that a
"whirlwind" five - day campaign
was launched, the first federated
fund-raising effort in Canada. A
total of $116,500 was raised at that
time, and an additional $12,000
was contributed by the end of
March toward the first goal of
$150,000 of Federation of Jewish
Philanthropies.
Guest speaker at the event was
Louis Broido, newly elected chair-
man of the American Jewish Joint
Distribution Committee.
AT THE FARGO CORPS SESSION
Fie! what a spendthrift he is of
his tongue!—Shakespeare.
By RIVA SPITZ
"The kids want to act like Jews,
and they need someone who will
help them, who will give them
a framework, which is exactly
what we did," states 1Vloshe Dwork-
in, national director of the Student
Zionist Organization, describing
the views of 10 young student
volunteers of SZO in Fargo, N.D.,
where they worked with Fargo
teen-agers.
The name of the volunteer group
was "The Domestic Jewish Edu-
cation Corps," composed of col-
lege students who were not paid
for their services.
They had gone to Fargo—popu-
lation, 50,000; Jewish population,
120 families — to work with the
Jewish youth of that town and
to enrich the Jewish education and
Israel culture of that Jewish com-
munity.
The SZO young people. told of
their experience on the college
campus; their trips to Israel and
their own commitment to Judaism.
The Fargo Jewish community
apparently felt so enthusiastic
about the program which included
discussions on Israel, Zionism and
Judaism that they will set up a
community day-camp next sum-
mer and will hold community-
wide events during the year.
As for SZO which is the unified
Zionist youth movement on the
college campus and is represented
on more than 150 college campuses
in North America, the pilot pro-
ject worked: "We're prepared to
go to other small Jewish commu-
nities next summer," said Dworkin,
"Now that we got Fargo to do

JERUSALEM (JTA) — The an-
nual Rothschild Prizes for achieve-

engineering and applied mathe-
matics were awarded here Sun-
ady night to Prof. Gad Tedeschi,
of the Hebrew University; Prof.
Haim Leib Pekeris, of the Weiz-
man Institute; and Prof. Abraham
Kogan, of the Technion at Haifa.
The prizes of $3,300 each, are

The prizes were presented at
the King David Hotel by Lord
Rothschild, who reported briefly
on the work of the Edmond Roths-
child Memorial Group, a founda-
tion which support; cultural and
scientific activities in Israel, such
as the country's new educational
television system.
Premier -Levi Eshkol, who was
the prinCipal speaker at the
event, said that the prizes were
"no mere material awards but
recognition that the recipients
are enriching us far beyond the
value of what they are receiving
today. They enrich us with knowl-
edge, the value of which will en-
dure for generations."
things on its own."
The SZO program, thus may be
a harbinger for the future; Young
Jewish boys and girls going every
summer to small communities;
bringing Israel dances and songs
and Jewish culture. Perhaps Stan-
ley Rosenbaum of Detroit summed
it up best: "As Zionists, we are
concerned with the perpetuation of
the Jewish people."

Marcus recently complained
about an advertisement appearing

words "restricted area" appeared
concerning the sale of a farm.
The legislator demanded an im-

pointing out that discrimination
is strictly prohibited in the sale
of real estate in Connecticut.
The broker's explanation that
the phrase meant that the land was
zoned and no industrial or com-
mercial use would be permitted,
was rejected by Marcus, who said
