Alex BreSt
Is Head Of
Jax Council

Alex Brest, chairman of the
1912 Campaign of the Jacksonville
Jewish Community Council an
nounced yesterday that the cam
paign would be officially launched
on February 20, 1912, at joint
service to be held in the syna-
gogue of the Jewish Center. He
announced that the campaign
would get underway on Sunday
morning, February 22nd, with a
breakfast for the workers.
Brest announced the following
appointments for the forthcoming
drive: Harold COIN will again act
as Brest's co-chairman, D. H. Las
arrow and Samuel Kipnis have been
appointed co-chairmen of the
Initial Gifts Committee, which has
already been soliciting pledges
for the past month; and Mrs.
Joseph Hackel, and Mrs. 1. H. Ed
wards, chairman and co-chairman
respectively Of the Women's Divis-
ion.
Up to the present time, chair
men for the Youth and Mems Di-
vision have not been appointed,
but these will be named within a
very few days.
Brest made a special plea to the
Jewish people of the community
to volunteer their services for the
forthcoming drive. He explained
that contrary to the general opin-
ion now prevalent that the import
ance of the Council has diminish
ed, the need for service is greater
today than ever before. The war
has opened greater fields of ser
vice rather than diminishing the
number. He pointed out that the
demands for defense of the Jewish
rights in this country and the
opportunities for relieving distress
and suffering overseas are even
greater now than before the war
began.
An urgent appeal has also been
issued by Harold Cohn, co-chair-
man of the drive that large num-
Der of volunteers are needed II
this years drive is to succeed.
D. H. LasaroW, president OF the
Council, asked the cooperation OF
all contributors in making the
campaign workers task less diff
cult by attending meetings when
they are invited. He explained
that it required no more effort on
the part of the workers to con-
tact twenty or thirty persons at
a single parlor meeting than it
does to contact single contr1pu-
tor at his place of business or at
his home.
Brest announced that already
one-third of this years campaign
quota had been realized and that
these pledges show an average
increase of thirty percent over the
amount contributed by the same
persons last year.
