Mrs. John Ballegooyen were
the hostesses at a surprise brid-
al shower for Mrs. Willis Falk,
a bride of a few days.
Over forty relatives and
friends gathered in the Gold

utterly surprised the bride
kept her poise and entered in
to the festivities of the even
ing. She also was the recipient
of many useful and necessary
gifts. Mrs. Falk, who lived in
Monroe, Wisconsin, before her
marriage was very glad to
meet in this friendly manner
many of her new friends in
Zion.

THIS WEEK AT
ZION GARDENS
By Fred Richards

Only two more days until
Valentines Day and we at the
Gardens have been busily COM
pleting our Valentine Display
and getting ready for the ex-
pected rush on Friday and Sat-
urday. Potted plants will be
sold from the store and the
Greenhouse. Corsages, bou-
quets and pottery gifts will be
sold from the showrooms. The
main attraction in potted
plants are the red tulips which
were grown by us especially
for Valentines Day. Cinnerer-
las, Jonquils and African Vio-
lets lend their color to our win
dows and any of these plants
will make a fine gift. In
cut flowers the spring flowers
are featured such as Jonquils,
Iris and Snapdragons. Since
Valentines Day is the tradi-
tional "Sweethearts Day" red
roses are the most called for
in our advance corsage orders.
May we again extend an in
vitation to the public to visit
our Greenhouse. The spring
flowers are in bloom now and
they are we'll worth seeing. If
your reporter isn't busy in
the store he will be glad to
show you around. We are
proud of the flowers we grow
and want you to see them so
come in and look around.
I've already been scooped
on this one but the stop and go
lights are now blinking at
Sheridan Road and 9th St. If
you haven't seen the lights yet
there is one located just above
the police car in front of Wal
green's.
Remember that Zion Gar
dens is way ahead of "Dan Gu
pid" this Valentines Day. In
stead of using an arrow with
a barbed end we use flowers
with an attractive card and
instead of delivering them
with bow they are delivered
by courteous Zion Gardens
employee. Dan Cupid is doing
a bigger business every day
now that we started Saying it
with flowers" so everyone is
happy. All for now-See you
all on Valentines Day.

Coming to the University in
1910, Mr.. Fruchthendler immed-
lately became active in the COM

with high distinction. He was ac-
tive in the Community Council
since its inception in 1941 and has
been an officer the past 4 years.
A member of the Congregation
since 1912, he has been on the
board for 4 years.
Altho only 80 years old, Mr..
Fruchthendler's election is indica-
tive of the responsibility being
given young men in the commun-
ity. His wife is the former Jean

thendler conducts an insurance

ice is good example of the serv-
ice which the local community
must give to people who cannot
get along without some assistance,
oftentime the need is only tenn
porary."
An important consideration, Mr..
Horwitz continues, is that giving
is based on the needs existing
among fellowmen and it is only
a subterfuge to contend that one
need not give in Tucson because
he lives elsewhere part of the
year. Even to argue that one gives
to the Community Chest "back
home" is weak because the Chest
drives are carried on throughout
the country practically simulta-
neously. The chances are, he de-
clared, that if the person is not
"back home" during the drive, he
won't be solicited there.
Saul Greenman is an advanced
gift worker. Each year he has
turned in from 35 to so contribu-
tions. At the first report meeting
this year he turned in one of the
biggest and best reports of that
committee. Another member is M.
I. Poze.
Mrs. Dave w. Bloom is asso-
ciate chairman of the Tucson Res
idential Division, having respon-
sibility, for organizing and super
vising the solicitation of the en-
tire residential sections of Tucson.
Mrs. Arnold Lieberman is CO.
leader with Mrs. Joe Mart of one
sector, Colonia Solana. Working
in pairs to solicit funds for the
Chest from this area in addition
to the co-chairmen are: Mines.
Robert Berne, Bernard ]. Fried
man, David Hirsch, Minnie Mey-
er, William Rappaport, Paul
Sgutt, Lester Shafton and Charles
Wilson. Mrs. Abe Makler is also
a sector leader.
Agencies supported by the
Community Chest are the Arizona
Children's Home, Boy Scouts,
Community Service (Comstock
Hospital for tubercular and Grip
pied children, Ryland Home for
the aged), Girl Scouts, Jewish So
cial Service, YMCA, Catholic So
cial Service, Salvation Army,
YWCA, Social Service Exchange
(index of names of all persons
applying for help or advice), and
the Council of Social Agencies
| (planS and coordinates the work
of the various agencies).
Mrs. Bloom said, "The COM
munity uses the services of the
chest agencies directly or benefits
indirectly by them. That should
be sufficient reason for their sup
port now. Our compatriots know
what distress and suffering can
sometimes mean through the hap
penings abroad. Surely they will
respond to this appeal as they
have generously done in the past. F"
