2 Units Join
Welfare Fund

The Phoenix Brandeis Zionist
District has accepted an invitation
to join in the 1853 United Jewish
Welfare Fund drive instead of con-
Quoting a separate campaign for
funds.
The decision came after lengthy
debate by directors of the Zionist
group who previously had turned
down the idea. The vote was lotto
Z, with several abstaining. Local
members of Histadrut are expected
to participate in a unified Welfare
drive rather than seek their own
funds.
The two organizations were ur-
ged to join the UJWF in move
by the Jewish Community Council
to cut down multiplicity of fund
raising efforts which has harmed
the Welfare Fund. Under an agree
ment, the Zionists will get an allo-
cation of $1,000 and Histadrut $2,-
900, plus 10 per cent of any excess
over $105,00O.

Plea Made
To Pay Up
on Pledges

A desperate need for cash
for Israel set Jewish leaders
to combing the community
this week in quest of immed-
late payments on current
pledges to the United Jewish
Welfare Fund.
Newton Rosenzweig, president of
the Jewish Community Council
sounded the urgent note of the
cash campaign. 81 hope" he said,
"that it will not take the shocking
impact of a disastrous economic
catastrophe in Israel to awaken us
to the pressing need for cash right
now"
Gale Heads Drive
The special drive, part of ma
tion-wide push by the United Jew
ish Appeal for $35, 100000, was
headed up locally by Edward Gale.
His committee is calling on SUBJ
scribers to the Welfare Fund to
convert their outstanding 1852
pledges into immediate cash. At the
same time, the Jewish Community
Council arranged to borrow funds
from bank to make up a $4,000
remittance to UJA by next Sunday,
Oct. 1s. Proceeds from the cash
drive will go to repayment of the
loan.
Pledge payments may be mailed
or taken to the Jewish Community
Council office at 2211 N. Central
Ave.
'In ordinary times" said Rosen-
zweig, "Welfare Fund contributors
may take as long as year to pay
pledges. At this time, however, be-
cause of the extraordinary cash
needs, / sincerely hope that each
and every contributor from the
lowest to the highest will make a
strenuous effort to pay pledges i'm
mediately."
Success Hope Voiced
Gale expressed hope that "the
people who are doing the work for
this collection will be received
warmly by the contributors and will
be given what they ask for and
what the UJA requires"
81 hope, too," he added, "that
those who are not seen will send
in their pledge payments volun-
tarily. Although we have a dead
line date that we must meet, cash
received any time this month and
during November can be used. Let's
all get behind this effort and make
it successful"

years." said Miller, "to sell the
Jewish community the idea of the
Community Center, home for all
Jewish ideas and Jewish content.

ability the need of Jewish Center.
Certainly great percentage of our
people believe in the Center and
would miss it sorely if it were al
lowed to fail.
81 hope and pray that younger

vitality and new hope so that our
people may have their home in
which to congregate, to play and
to socialize, with the result that
