The progress IF the Jewish Con-
sulnptivcs' Relief Society was not un-
hintlercd by insurmOuntablel obstacles.
Too numerous were the struggles. and
endless were the sacrifices. During the
years Of Its early existence. the Society
experienced many critical periods and
when all resources seemed exhausted.
the Jewish woman, the symbol Of purity
and charity, came TO the rescue. The
ladies' auxilIarie. Of the Society haveI
been and still are the main pillars
upon which the entire foundations OF
the SOciety's activities are based. Had
1t not been for the ladies' auxiliaries 1t
Is doubtful whether the organization
could have attained the success OF
which II Is rightfully bOasting now.
Among the noted nuxiliaries may be
mentioned the New York Auxiliary, OF
which Mrs Louis Bloch is President;
the st IA uis Auxiliary, with Mrs.
Norris Friedman, President; the Cleve-
land Auxiliary, Mrs. p. Shopiro. Pre-
sident the Savannah Auxiliary, Mrs.
!. Davis. President; the Junior League
of Washington. ID. G., Bernard Trupp,
President: and the Denver Auxilin1T,
with Mrs. l. J. Kolinsky ns President,
and number of ther affiliated organ
izations What these noble women did
can be seen from the many buildings
which they erected. First and foremost
comes the Main Medical Building,
!. erected by the New York Auxiliary to
replace the one destroyed by fire in
1920 This building contains wing
endowed by the the St Louis Auxiliary.
who have also donated the Medical
Staff Building The Nurses Home and
the Mems Ambulnnt Pavilion were also
made possible through the generosity
of the New York Ladies' Auxiliary.
The Solarium. n recreation hall for
patients was donated by the Denver
Auxiliary.
The dedication ceremonies to be held
next Sunday afternoon will not only
reflect credit upon the early founders,
hut also upon the entire American
Jewry and especially upon Jewish
womanhood.
