Field Secretary Lauds Alliance Publication “I read with considerable in¬ terest the last issue of your paper. I think that the com¬ munity is to be congrautlated on the growth and development of the paper after only three or four issues. It is a very newsy one and I know must be eagerly awaited by the total community each time it appears. “Even at the risk of being repetitious, may I again say that the Alliance is turning out a very swell paper. I am par¬ ticularly impressed with the upsurge of activities, with such new activities as a photography and youth canteen group. “Until the Section is able to get out its own newspaper, we are planning a news letter. I hope you will not inflict copy¬ right privileges on us because I plan to use parts of your paper to indicate the new activities that are being conducted throughout the area.” GUS JACOBSON Field Secretary Southern Section National Jewish Welfare Board Leaders' Corps Organized Here An Adult Volunteer Leaders Corps has been organized by Jack Chilnick.
