However, the strain of hardships
took it's toll, her husband had to
be sent to a mental institution Now
the mother, who could not work
since her two young children need
ed her, had to try to live on $45
per month.
There is no fear, no worry about
the future in the mind of IsraeliS.
The youth in particular feels in
tensely nationalistic, and each boy
and girl has strong desire to
defend the land without asking for
any special credit or recognition
forf this
Mrs. Todd told about one young
girl, whose father studied in the
United States for two years, later
he was in the Embassy in Bucha-
rest, and his daughter attended
school in England. AS soon as she
graduated she returned to Israel to
serve her time in the arny-though
she could have stayed abroad and
lived a much more comfortable
life, she never hesitated one mo-
ment in making her decision.
There was the story about the
boy who had just a few more
months to go to finish his studies
but told his mother that he was
going to enlist in the army. The
mother tried to persuade him to
wait till after graduation. The boy
replied: "Do you think my consci-
lot cn1f
after sleeping on sheets when my
comrades are sleeping on rocks?"
A brighter side was pointed out
by Mrs. Todd when she told of
the many ways UJA helps to make
people productive again. Mrs. Todd
told of a man who was badly Grip
pied due to Nazi atrocities. With
the aid of complicated system of
pulleys and ropes this man was
learning to feed himself. Through
an organization such as UJA this
man receives tender, loving care
the kind the Bible teaches u.s., ex-
planned Mrs. Todd.
Humanity is the watch-word of
these kinds of services that give
meaning to lives of new immi-
grants. Mrs. Todd demonstrated
this with a picture of an older man
with a very content look on his
face-content because he was ac-
complishing something - he was
learning to weave.
In one hospital Mrs. Todd saw
a woman whose hands had been
badly crippled through arthritis.
Here American dollars were per-
forming the useful function of help
ing this woman through plaster
casts which were made and then
had spoon and fork fitted for the
patient, who learned to use them
by herself.
Mrs. Todd enumerated two new
ideas which are under way to help
the UJWF drive this year. One plan
will be to get women to pledge to
be a "dollar-a-day-woman" and
several women have already vol
unteered their $685.. There will also
be a youth division set up this year.
In Israel, UJA's agencies must
help liquidate unmet immigrant alb
sorption needs for 100000 people,
including farm settlers and 10, 1000
persons who still live in tin huts
and wooden shacks for the lack of
permanent housing.
To help solve these problems,
UJA seeks to raise a $100, 900, 900
Special Fund in 1859 plus it's regu-
lar $105, 100000 budgetary cam
