Eastern Europe who are looking to-
ward Palestine as their last place OF

campaign.
EVERY Jewish family in Will
mington and vicinity must contrib
ute: must sacrifice so that funds
may be sent quickly abroad
through the Palestine Foundation
fund" said Louis Topkis I'VE feel
that hundreds OF persons OF our
faith should contribute. The ap-
neal Is not for charity, but a direct
call to the Jewish heart and con-
science. II comes at a critical time
and every Jewish family must make
its contribution. The Keren Haye-
sod cannot accept less than S25 for
the year 1922"
The goal set by the leaders OF the
Keren Hayesod in Wilmington IS
$4,000. only two-thirds OF this
amount has been raised to date. II
every Jewish family in Wilmington
would respond. the $4,000 quota
would easily be ovcrsubscribed. Two
hundred and fifty pledges OF sums
ranging from s25 upwards have
been made.
There was no meeting OF the cam
paign workers yesterday, and conse-
quently no team reports were re-
eeived. The workers however de-
voted their efforts 10 continuous cam
paigning and making a canvass in
various sections OF Wilmington. The
activities OF the workers were ex-
tended also outside OF Wilmington,
visited in automobiles being made to
Jewish residents in sections outside
OF Wilmington. Joseph Kanofsky
was at the head OF a committee
which will visit outlying sections
during the remainder OF the week.
The campaign will end on Sunday
with a meeting IN the home OF Louis
Topkis. at which the team captains
will make final reports
