Dear Mr.. Moscovitz:
AS a member of the Jackson
vile Jewish Community Council
I would like to express several
objections to the way this org
anization is being run so that |
proper corrections may be made
in the very near future.
1t was my understanding that |
when I donated money to this
Council that the money was to be
used to alleviate the suffering of |
our fellow Jews in Europe and in
Palestine. It has been brought to
my attention that a significant
amount of money is being spent |
for purposes for which many of
my friends and I object most Wig
orously.
It seems disgraceful that when
our children in Europe are starv-
ing and homeless and need so
much more than we are giving
them that we spend money for
such unnecessary causes as teach
ing our children in Jacksonville
the rhumba and other "essential'
dances.
Some time ago outstanding local
leaders approached the officers of
the Community Council and asked
that some of the money raised here
should be allotted to the Zionist
Youth Commission, Jewish Nat
ional Fund, Haganah, and other
Zionist causes, but the Council
leaders REFUSED to contribute
to these causes. This is essential
ly unfair since a recent poll re-
vealed that 900 of the nations
Jews are pro-Zionists, and this
percentage is even higher in Jack
sonville. How long is Jacksonville
Jewry consisting largely of Zion
list sympathizers, going to permit
those Council leaders, who are in
imical to Zionist causes, to exer-
else such strong influence
against that in which the majority
of our people are most interested.
It is evident from the above
that democracy does not exist in
the Community Council, other
wise certainly such a deplorable
situation could not happen here.
It has become necessary to have
two separate drives in Jackson
vile thanks to the Councils I'M
fairness. What is needed in Jack
sonville is a representative lead
ership so that those causes dear
to the majority of our people may
be aided.
It is not my intent to harm the
Council in any way, even though
I am so opposed to the wasteful-
ness of charity funds for unneces-
sary printing, expensive surveys
and booklets, and various rhumba
training, and expensive overhead.
Now is the time for economy
instead of extravaganza. 1947 is a
crucial year for the survival of
our people. Because of business
conditions it will be very difficult
to raise the quotas allotted us FOR
this year, and we should adopt
ECONOMY at once, especially in
the manner in which the Council |
is run.
Unless I see an improvement in
those conditions set forth in this
letter, 1, for one, will not con-
tribute anything at all to the
Community Council, but will give

Army Advisory
Committee Meets

A meeting of the Hagerstown
Army Advisory Committee was held
in the Council Chamber, City Hall,
last week, with the chairman, Will
son r. Caskey presiding Special
guests were the members of the
Washington County Reserve Officers
Association and the guest speaker
was Mr. Norman Imire, who repre-
sents the Commanding General, Sec
ond Army, on advisory committee
affairs. Mr. Imire is a veteran of
both wars, having been a captain
in the Canadian Army in World
War l, and a public Relations officer,
with the rank of major in the Air
Forces, in World War II.
During his address Mr. Imire
stressed the fact that the Advisory
Committee is not advised by the
Army, but just the reverse. The
Committee advises the Army, and
ultimately the War Department, on
the feeling and thought of our cit
izenry on War Department policies
and is therefore an extremely val
liable organization to both the citi-
zens and Army when it functions
properly.
Mr.. Imire also commented on the
need for the proposed plan of Uni
versal Military Training as our
cheapest form of insurance against
another war.
Among other guests introduced
was Col. John M. Lentz, Commander
of the Maryland Military District.

On Again! OF Again!

The maintenance men of the tele-
phone company called off their strike
on Monday morning, withdrew their
picket line and went back to work.
AS q result of this action, the
switchboard operators - who were
not on strike but refused to cross a
picket line-finding no picket line,
went back to work also and in short
order, phone service (outside of some
long distance calls) was back to
normal in Hagerstown-but not for
long.
Tuesday morning, when the girls
reported for work, they found the
plant picketed again-but this time
it was not picketed by their fellow
workers at the Hagerstown plant
but by men from Cumberland De
spite the fact that the men who went
out on strike in the first place-the
maintenance workers from the Ha-
gerstown plant-continued to work
even though picket line had been
thrown up by the Cumberland strik-
ers, the girls again refused to cross
a picket line-result, emergency ser
vice again.
AS a result of this action you had
the strange situation of the workers
who went out on strike in the first
place, ignoring the imported picket
line and staying on the job, and the
girls who never had been on strike
at all, refusing to work!
Yesterday morning the Cumber-
land picket line was withdrawn and
so the girls once again went back to
work-this time we hope for good.
When the girls went back to work
on Monday and quickly and efficient
ly restored local service to normal,
you heard nothing but favorable
comments all over town, but since
they adopted their "On Again! Off
Again. attitude, the comment l have
heard most of all is-Suppose some
one else decides to picket the tele-
phone company, what then?
