United Jewish Appeal Asks Savannah Jewry To Contribute $200,000 Quota The United Jewish Appeal for Refugees, Overseas Needs, and Palestine, which raises funds nationally on be¬ half of the Joint Distribution Committee, the United Pales¬ tine Appeal, and the National Refugee Service, has asked , the Jewish Community of Savannah, through its United Jewish Appeal and Federation, to accept as its quota the unpre cented sum of $200,000. This sum represents the share which the United Jewish Appeal is asking Savannah totassume to¬ wards the national quota of one hundred million dollars. A quotation from the letter ask¬ ing Savannah to assume this quota depicts the basis for this unprecedented community need: “The representa¬ tives at the Atlantic City Con¬ ference as well as the officers of the United Jewish Appeal, gave the most serious consid¬ eration to the question of the 1946 goal. They recognized that in 1945 some $35,000,000 was contributed and that to reach $100,000,000 there would have to be the greatest out¬ pouring of generosity history has ever known. At the same time they were overwhelmed , by the reality and the validity of the requirements. The end ing of the war has brought not (Published bif 'Tbe JEWISH EDUCATIONAL ALLIANCE OF SAVANNAH, GA.

They took cognizance of our respon¬ sibility towards the refugees finding a haven in the United States.” Plans will soon be set under way for the organization of the 1946 campaign of the Savannah United Jewish Appeal and Fed eration. The successful conclu sion of this huge undertaking will require the united effort of every Jew in Savannah. We are sure that they will not be found wanting. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1946 Jewish Council Elects Morris Slotin Resident; Hear Reports Jack M. Levy, Delegate Acting unanimously to instruct its delegate to the General Assem¬ bly of the Council of Jewish Fed¬ erations and Welfare Funds to vote against the proposal to set up a National Advisory Budgeting Service, the Savannah Jewish Council, at its Annual Meeting, laid the groundwork for an active program in 1946. The meeting was well attended, with 18 out of 24 Council member organizations of the being represented by dele¬ gates. Jack M. Levy, co-chairman of the 1945 campaign of the United Jewish Appeal and Federation, was elected to serve as the dele¬ gate from the Council to the Gen¬ eral Assembly of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds, to be held in Detroit on February 8-11, when action will be taken on the highly-contro versial proposal for Advisory the establish¬ ment of a National Bud¬ geting Service. The sentiment against the proposal was based largely on the premise that such a service would concentrate in the hands of a few persons the pre¬ rogative of evaluating the services and programs of important move¬ ments in Jewish life, and, in ef¬ fect, the recommendations of such a committee would become manda¬ tory, rather than “advisory.” The proposal was labeled “undemo¬ cratic” and one which would take decisions on the distribution of the funds raised in the local com¬ munities out of the hands of the people, in the local communitities, who are responsible for raising the funds. Three amendments to the con¬ stitution and by-laws of the Coun¬ cil, approved by the delegates and members-at-large provide for (1) the election of the chairman of the annual campaign as a member of the Council for the year in which he serves; (2) the increase of the number of members-at-large from twelve to a number not less than twelve and not more than eighteen; and (3) the election of all com¬ mittees, including the Executive Committee, by the president, the vice-presidents, and the treasurer, with all officers serving as mem¬ bers of the Executive Committee. Eligibility of Jewish organizations to have delegates on the Council was interpreted to mean all Jew¬ ish adult organizations, which have been in continuous existence for at least two years, either locally or nationally. Delegates from the ’“Agudath Achim Brotherhood and the B’nai B’rith Women were seated for the first time at the Annual Meeting. Under the new interpretation of organizational eligibility, will be the invited Jew¬ ish War Veterans to send a delegate to the Council. The Council voted to approve the publication of the Annual Re¬ port of the 1945 campaign of the United Jewish Appeal and Federa¬ tion, to be distributed before the opening of the 1946 campaign; and to refer the matter of local participation in the campaign for Supplies for Overseas Survivors, sponsored by the Joint Distribu¬ tion Committee, to the local af¬ filiates of the National Jewish Women’s Organizations, national which are cooperating in the cam¬ paign. Paul Kulick, the executive sec¬ retary of the Council, presented his report on the Southeastern Re¬ gional Conference of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds, which he attended in Bir¬ mingham in December, as the rep¬ resentative of the Savannah Jew¬ ish Council.
