Ira Hirschmann To Address
Women's Special Gifts Group
The Special Gifts group of the
Women’s Division will have Ira
Hirschmann as its special guest
at a brunch to be held at the
Progressive Club Monday, April
9, it was announced by Group
Chairmen Mrs. Jack Friedman,
Mrs. Abner Lichtenstein, Mrs.
Harold Marcus and Mrs, J. M.
Rosenfeld.
Mr. Hirschmann, who will be
in Atlanta Sunday to address "the
Advance Gifts group of the Men’s
Division, will stay over for this
special event. Due to the fact
that Mr. Hirschmann had been in
close contact with affairs in the
Middle East for more than a de
cade his address will reveal an
insight into the situation there
that is seldom available.
A personable appearing man,

Excellent progress was report

the contributors, to the urgency of
this years’ campaign. Day by day
reports in our daily press with re

General Solicitation Report Meeting
Y outh Division
Starts Work
Chaired by Phyllis Alterman,
Gloria Greenberg, Robert Rosen
thal and Murray Soloman, the
Colonels and Captains of the
Youth Division of the 1956 Wel
fare Fund campaign met at the
Temple Thursday to organize the
work of the division.
Prospects were assigned to the
various workers and cards were
distributed.
Although, percentagewise, the
Youth Division represents only
a very small part of the total
contributions, it is rated as one
of the most important divisions
in the entire campaign organized
by Campaign leaders. Participa
tion in Welfare Fund work by
the young people helps develop
the leadership for tomorrow. It
inculcates within them the under
standing necessary for growth
and assures the community of a
continuity in the development of
responsible adults for tomorrow,
Fund officials said.
As the General Chairmen ex
pressed it, “There is a mutual
obligation here. While it is true
that our young people have an
obligation to the community, it is
also true that their seniors have
an obligation to our youth. It is
not only necessary for us to open
up to them areas for service—
It is also necessary for us, by
precept and example, to make
known the importance and de
sirability of such service. The
Welfare Fund is an ideal instru
ment for developing this concept
—for the Welfare Fund is the
one community activity that em
braces the total community.”
Religious School
Children Participate
Excellent reports have been re
ceived on all sides from the re
ligious schools with regard to the
effect of the campaign upon the
children. Parents have expressed
interest in the solemnity shown
by the children when they ex
plain that they are to contribute
from their own funds which they
have saved out of their allow
ances.
As one little contributor re
marked, “I want to give my own
money — and if you give me
money to give, it won’t be my
contribution — it will be yours."
This too, one teacher has remark
ed, is a part of religious educa
tion.

dition in the Welfare Fund. A
dramatic event, it enlists the ser
vices of a large group of dedicat
ed workers who start in the morn
