Charles Silbert and Aaron
Kaplan, two prominent business
and civic leaders,’have been ap
pointed co-chairmen of the cur
rent campaign for the sale of Is
rael Bonds in Augusta.
Announcement of their accep
tance of these key positions was
made this week by A. J. Wein
berg, general chairman of the
Georgia-South Carolina Region
for State of Israel Bonds, who
also reported that a community
wide dinner has been scheduled
for Augusta on Sunday evening,
November 14.
The Augusta effort for Israel
Bonds, he added, is part of a na
tion-wide campaign to attain a
goal of $100,000,000 in sales by
the end of 1965. The dinner will
climax a concerned effort here to
obtain new high levels of res
ponse to the Israel Bond issue
before the end of the year, he
said.
Mr. Kaplan, who served as co-
chairman of a highly successful
campaign for Israel Bonds in
1963, is a former president of the
Zionist Organization of Augusta,
past president of the Kiwanis, and
a member of the Elks. He is pres
ident of Kaplan and Company, a
retail dry goods business.
Mr. Silbert was teamed with
Mr. Kaplan in 1963 as co-chair
man of the Augusta Committee
for State of Israel Bonds. He is
the governor-elect of South
Georgia Civitan, International;
president of the Obediah Lodge
119 of B’nai B’rith and an of
ficer in several capacities of the
Adas Yeshurun Synagogue Board.
The Southeastern Region of Ha-
dassah will highlight its fall ac
tivities with a stupendous, com
bined Education Institute and
Regional Board meeting, to be
held in Macon on October 25 and
26 at the Dempsey Hotel.
The meeting will start at 2:00
p. m. on Monday, and continue
through 1 p. m. on Tuesday. All
education personnel, vice presi
dents, chairmen, education day
chairmen study group chairman,
and all regional board members
are invited and urged to attend
this meeting.
Mrs. Murray Sarlin, national
education consultant, who is the
author of many books and mater
ial used in the National Educa
tion Department, will conduct
the institute. The highlight and

A member of numerous business
associations, he is president of
Silbert’s Auto Supply.
In making his announcement
of the two appointments, Mr.
Weinberg lauded Mr. Silbert and
Mr. Kaplan for their “dedicated
efforts in behalf of numerous
civic, philanthropic and fraternal
organizations, and for their quick
response in taking the helm once
again of the local Israel Bond
Committee.”
“It would be difficult to find
more dedicated and devoted men
to head the cause of strengthen
ing Israel’s economic development
through the program of invest
ment in Israel Bonds, which pro
vide vital capital for the growth
of Israel’s agriculture, commerce
and industry,” he stated.
During the past fourteen years,
Mr. Weinberg explained, the Is
rael Bond drive has been the
most important channel of eco
nomic aid for the development of
Israel. The proceeds have helped
finance the expansion of farms
and factories, the building of ir
rigation pipelines, the exploita
tion of natural resources, the con
struction of roads, harbors and
railways, and housing for new
immierants.
“With the aid of Israel Bonds,”
he said, “Israel has reached the
point where economic independ
ence may be regarded as a real
istic possibility for the not too
distant future. An average in
crease of 10 per cent in its an
nual gross national product has
made Israel one of the fastest
growing countries in the world.
festive dinner on Monday night
at which time Mrs. Sarlin will
present National Hadassah’s New
Education Guide, “The Land of
Israel,” plus, all delegates will
witness the preview showing of
National’s new program, “The
Jew in Art.” Every chapter will
have a chance to engage this for
its own meeting.
Mrs. Morris Cohen expressed
her confidence “that our region
will make this a banner year in
membership and fundraising and
show a large increase in both
areas, to keep up with Hadassah’s
constantly expanding projects to
meet the needs of the ever grow
ing State of Israel. Our growth,
however, is not limited to these
areas; so the need for constant
study and learning for the well
informed Jewish woman of today
is being implemented by such
programs as will be offered in
Macon on October 25 and 26.”
Five chapters—Thomaston-Grif-
fin-LaGrange, Macon, Columbus,
Rome, and Columbia—will have
as their National Speaker during
November, Mrs. Sidney Berko-
witz, national life membership
chairman of Hadassah. Mrs. Berk-
owitz, or Buddy, as she is called,
was a delegate to the World Zion
ist Congress; besides her many
activities in the various organiza
tions of which she is a member.
These chapters have a real treat
in store for them.
The Regional Board Meeting
in Macon is a must for all re
gional board members, so if you
haven’t already made your plans
and reservations to attend on Oc
tober 25. do so at once. Fill up
cars with your education people
and bring as many as you can,
because this is treat that you
will not want to miss. We’ll be
looking for you, so don’t disap
point yourself or Hadassah.

She says she can’t sing — but
she sings. She says she can’t play
piano—but she plays. She says
she’s not particularly funny —
but people roar. For a girl as
modest as June Stevens, she’s had
a singular amount of success in
a tough field — writ ng satirical
and comedy revues, and frequent
ly entertaining with her own ma
terial.
Now, with husband Bernie’s de
cision to locate his new meat by
products business in Atlanta,
June is enthusiastically planning
to continue her part time career
from this base. “Whenever I find
my writing takes too much time
from my family, I cut down—but
quick,” she said over coffee and .. .
The family she speaks of in
cludes two active sons, Steve 15,
and Johnny, now 10. Apparently
the boys have adjusted quickly to
the move less than nine weeks ago

from Miami. Steve, says his mo
ther, has already joined the Tem
ple Youth Group and Johnny is
getting underway at Morris Bran
don School.
June would much rather talk
about Bernie and the boys so it
took a little switching back and
forth to get the lowdown or high-
up of her own work. “When 1
started in 1960 writing revues
for the Pittsburgh Play House
people kept saying, ‘You really
should submit this stuff to the
pros—It’s great.’ Finally,” June
admits, “I did send some stuff
to Julius Monk.”
And then came one of those
crazy mixups that keep show
business people tearing their hair.
“Time went on and I hadn’t heard
word one from Monk. What
would you think? I assumed he
wasn’t interested and sold the
material to someone else.” Word
came that Monk not only want
ed the material but had started
rehearsals at the “Downstairs-at-
the Upstairs” in New York. “Nat
urally, I had to withdraw that
material, but I’ve sold a lot to
Monk since.”
Probably June’s best known
topical satire is “Barry’s Boys,”
recorded by the Chad Mitchell
Trio, and published by Random
House in an Anthology of Satire.
Originally written for a Jewish
Federation affair in Pittsburgh,
Barry’s Boys, preceding the last
presidential campaign by several
years, took off like Topsy.
“When our Mayor David Law
rence asked if we’d do the num
ber at a Democratic dinner, we
readily agreed.” June’s brain
child was such a walloping suc
cess at that dinner that a guest,
the then Senator Hubert Humph
rey, invited them to come to
Washington for a repeat per
formance.
Community shows. Federation
and Welfare Fund Dinners, and
American Jewish Committee
events (for which she did a lot
of work in Miami) have been
the sounding board for much of
the material later used by pro
fessional entertainers.
The busy brunette and her
husband, who recently sold his
chain of supermarkets in Florida
to a national chain, are avid col
lectors of records, books and
paintings. “As a matter of fact,”
she admitted wryly, “in our new
home here, we’ve spent more
time arranging those than we
have buying furniture.”
