EDITORIAL
How Much Can We Afford?

A newspapers first duty is to keep its readers in
formed. With that object in mind we print the follow
ing facts pertaining to the contract of Ben Brook
executive director of the Tucson Jewish Community
Council
Next Monday night April 18, the executive board
Of the Tucson Jewish Community Council will consider
recommendations of their committee on the renewal
of Brooks contract
Because the meeting of the delegates to accept or
reject what the board recommends comes only three
days after the board meets Thursday, April 21-
he ARIZONA POST asked permission to publish the
exact terms of the proposed contract that organZa
tions would have ample time to consider the terms and
advise their delegates properly This permission
refused by the Council president the grounds that
delegates could move to table" the recommendations
to future date, should they choose. We believe
that this subject is of great Importance to the entire
community certainly public and not private mat
ter at any point. With that thought in mind, let
consider the main issues:
First can Tucson afford to pay the increase which
is being asked regardless of the merits of the in
volved?
We think not $500 year with $1,000 expense
money is in itself not exactly bad pay in Tucson That
is what Brook gets However, it might we'll be that
Tucson cannot afford to hire man of Brooks cabre.
He has said that he has been offered around $4,000
in another community. Perhaps he should accept it.
Right Tucson is faced with the problem of having
to hire added personnel to take of the expanded
center 1dclnCeS. Wnere is the money coming from!
The Temple and Congregation AnShe Israel and Young
Israel all struggling to meet financial obligations
incurred by their growing congregation
Brook has done much good work in the communi-
ty. However it may we'll be that no longer af
ford with his price tag. Mrs. Brook is also on
the community payroll social service worker. AT
their combined salaries it can't be said that Tucson is
not already apprecative of their efforts Perhaps Mr.
Brook is ready for promotion to larger community
However, think he may be pricing himself out of
the market, far as Tucson is concerned We think
that the financial needs of entire community come
above the financial needs of any one individual.
There undoubtedly are capable executives who
would be glad to the local position at the pres
ent arrangement. Let not embark on bnge of
salary increases when can't even meet the bills
OWe
Let's not invite community bankruptcy
Some local contributors say they object to the
already high administrative costs of the local group,
considering the relatively small amounts that
actually spent for charity They also unhappy with
the diminishing amounts that being sent overseas.
They add that Tucson simply cannot afford to pay
that kind of money for salaries with the amount that
is raised locally.
Whatever we do, let us not act hastily We are
sure that Mr. Brook, with his unsefsh approach to
better TJCC would be the last to object to anything
that would help solve difficult situation
