Mrs. Joshua Piza, chairmna of
the blind committee Of the National
Council of Jewish Women, gave a
most inspiring talk on 1.-THE Work

of the local Council of Jewish
Women at their regular meeting
held yesterday afternoon in the
Packer House Grill.
1.-The National Council is doing
great work." said the speaker.
"There are 2o2 sections of the coun-
Gil. Then we have the state council
where the different units are form
ed, and the National Council, and
at the present time it has grown SO
fast that it has become necessary
to form an International Council.
1.-The platform on which the
council stands is I'VE are Jewish
women" said Mrs. Piza. 1--WE have
education in every form. Each year
the council gives scholarships and
takes great interest in the Board of
Education. In fact every form and
means of education is covered"
The speaker urged that the chair
man of the blind committee in this
city investigate and see how many
blind children there are in this city
and see how the council could aid
them. Mrs. Piza said that a great
many people think that If their
father, mother or child is blind it is
a great disgrace.
The speaker related the story of
the elderly couple from Arkansas,
tive land. They arrived in New
York. and in order to get to the
steamship, 1t was necessary to take
the subway. In the mad rush, the
guard closed the door. leaving the
wife in the car and her husband
outside. This elderly woman
walked and walked, searching in
vain for her lost husband. She was
taken to the hospital where she died
of fatigue. eff this couple had been
a member of the council" said the
speaker, "this terrible accident
would have been avoided, as the
council take. care that every immi-
grant is safely led to his or her
destination"
Religion is the keynote Of the
work for the women in the coun-
Gill;" concluded the speaker. Form
a study circle, let a woman who is
conversant with the Bible act as
leader, and teach our young people
the teachings of the Bible"
