THE idea fir the council of the
country to grow that the national will
give and have funds sufficient to do
| the great work that is being planned. 1t
can only be large and strong as it
constituent section are also. The
great needs are for moral support as
well as financial. In st. Louis where
l spent some time a few weeks ago
found that the membership had grown
from small gatherings to 707 with Il
new members.
She continued, The only real demo-
cratic organization of Jewish women
in existence is the Council of Jewish
women where any Jewish woman can
be admitted regardless of belief, ma
tionality, and without any question
asked. There are other organizations
of Jewish women doing splendid work
but they are only auxiliaries of other
organizations.
I'VE must not leave ali the work for
the battles are all won by the rank and
file and the officers of your organiza-
tion need your aid and support.
THE idea of the Council of Jewish
women is to give not get, but to be of
s@vice to their fellow man. ! love the
Council for it gives me many friends
and many l do not even know.
"One of the greatest works of the
national council is to help and aid the
immigrant women and children and do
their bit towards abolishing white
slavery
1.-The Council of Jewish women was
one of the organizations selected to
work at Ellis Island during the war
with the immigrants who were being
held there for investigation.
THE men had four organizations
while- the women were represented by
only one and that was the Council of
Jewish women.
"At the recent meeting of the ma
tional council of women held in St
Louis where all the womens organiza-
tions of the work were represented
member of the Jewish council of women
was electd as first vice president and
at the next meeting which will be held
in Midway next summer there are to
be ten delegates and one of the mem
bers will be your president of the ma
tional council"
Mrs. Harris said when asked at the
recent Pennsylvania Federation of Wo-
mems clubs conventions what she
thought the Council of Jewish women
could do for the federation and what
she thought the federation could do for
answered that she thought the fedora
ton could do wonders for the council
if they would understand the phychol-
ogy of the Jewish women and if this
be done a much desired result would
be obtained by both sides.
Mrs. Cronheim asked Mrs Maurice
Lenk to thank Mrs. Harris in the
name of the council for her presence
and her inspiring address and in few
words she made a clever little talk.
Mrs. Long another member of the
national board, secretary of education,
who is visiting in the city was intro
duced and Mrs Cronheim told how
many cities had claimed her as their
own and that she felt that Birmingham
could put in claim for her too as she
is a niece of Uncle Ben" Ezekiel as
all know him. Mrs. Long brought
most interesting message. Mrs Morris
Newfield made a short talk telling of
the work of the local council and plans
of the future.
At the speakers table were members
of the local board of the Council of
Jewish women, including Mrs. Eastman,
Mrs. Holder Mrs Cronheim. president,
Mrs. Morris Newfeld, Mrs. Leader, Mrs.
Maurice Lenk, Mrs. Howard Loeb and
