Megdell Heads Cash Collection Drive
The Flint Jewish Community
Council is launching an emergency
cash collection campaign. Joseph
Megdell, president of the Council,
has accepted the chairmanship.
The following will work with him
on this vital project: Gilbert Ru-
have been made to this year's
UJA's Israel Emergency Fund and
the regular campaign. The scope
and crucial nature of Jewish needs
in Israel, in the Moslem world and
in Europe, warrant the utmost aid
and fullest cooperation of everyone
in making these funds available.
Only a constant intake of cash will
enable UJA to push ahead on its
programs. For our fellow Jews in
Eastern Europe and Arab lands,
the future holds only deprivation,
poverty and despair. Give them
hope and help. Make or pay your
pledge now to the Israel Emer-
gency Fund and to the 1968 regu-
lar campaign."

An appeal for prompt payment
states:
"The maintenance of peace and
the prevention of war are proving
as costly as actual warfare to the
people of Israel. While the main
Arab armies, shattered by the Is-
rael Defense Forces during the Six
Day War have been rebuilt and
rearmed at no cost, the Israel tax-
payer is being called upon to make
greater and costlier sacrifices to
maintain his country's defenses
against those armies. In addition
to sharply rising taxes, every Is-
raeli has been assessed two weeks'
salary as his proportionate share of
a new $100,000,000 defense loan. In
addition, $200,000,000 in develop-
ment funds which would have ab-
sorbed thousands of Israel's unem-
ployed, is being used to meet im-
mediate defense expenditures. All
this makes it obvious that the peo-
ple of Israel can no longer share
with us the huge costs of immi-
grant absorption — the building of
homes and the provision of medical
and rehabilitation services, educa-
tion and child care—all of which
has traditionally been our responsi-
bility.
"But all the humanitarian help
that 500,000 struggling immigrants
so desperately need must continue
without a halt, and will if we can
translate into cash, in the quickest
time possbile, the pledges which
