JWVA National Chief Pays a Call

Despite what their personal feel-
ings may be about the war in Viet-
nam, the women who belong to the
Jewish War Veterans auxiliaries
are thinking first about the morale
of boys fighting overseas.
Mrs. Ted Garfinkle, a pretty
mother of three, and a sharp busi
nesswoman to boot, was in Detroit
this week in her capacity as na-
tional president of the Jewish War
Veterans Auxiliaries. During a
brief stop at The Jewish News of-
fice, she outlined the primary con-
cern of the JWVA, feminine arm
of the Jewish War Veterans of
America.
A number of JWVA members
have seen their sons go off to
Vietnam, she said. Michigan's
auxiliary alone knows of some 35
young Jewish men now serving
there. They have sent packages
to GIs (regardless of religion),
sponsored a "tape-a-letter" pro-
ject keeping communications
lines open between families and
their boys, and assisted in the
veterans' hospital program.
As an affiliate of the JWV, the
auxiliary supports the administra-
tion position on the war in Vietnam.
although differences "do exist
among our members, as in any
organization."
Mrs. Garfinkle, of Washington,
D.C., whose husband is a Korean
War veteran, is secretary-treas-
urer of the computer programing
education firm he heads, National
Institute of Computer Professions.
Its branches are located in New
Jersey and Maryland: Argentina
is the next stop. For the year that
she is JWVA president, she has
taken a leave of absence to visit
JWVA units throughout the coun-
try, keeping women informed of
activities on the national front
and helping them strengthen their
own programs.

8 per cent of the people polled ob-
