P«g« Ten THE SOUTHERN ISRAEUTE Friday, Oct. 30, 1970 The South Mobilizes for Israel Bond Campaign Atlanta Women Show Way — Fashionably Wives of the senior rabbis of Atlanta’s Jewish community will be honored during the forthcoming Israel Fashion Show for their excellent leadership during the 1969 event, which they spearheaded as chairmen, and for their role in the current campaign underway. Shown above discussing the Fashion Show are (1. to r.) Mrs. Jacob Rothschild, Mrs. Emanuel Feldman, Mrs. Donald Frieman, Mrs. Joseph Cohen and Mrs. Harry H. Epstein. Not available at the time of the picture are Mrs. Richard Lehrman and Mrs. Robert Ichay, both of whom are very active in the committee. The two ladies who head the 1970 show get down to the real nitty-gritty of a Fashion show—the apparel which the models will actually wear and display. And from the happy faces of Mrs. Dave ( Alterman and Mrs. Leon Frohsin, there’s no doubt that they are finding great delight in the combination leather and knit crea tion they’re examining. The Women’s Division of At lanta’s Israel Bond Campaign will pay tribute to the out standing success of last year’s campaign by honoring the 1969 chairmen at Israel Fashion Show and Luncheon to be held at the S h e r aton-Biltmore Hotel on Tuesday, December 1. These ladies are the wives of Atlanta’s senior rabbis, Mrs. Joseph Cohen, Mrs. Harry Ep stein, Mrs. Emanuel Feldman, Mrs. Donald Frieman, Mrs. Rob ert Ichay, Mrs. Richard Lehr man, and Mrs. Jacob Rothschild. Although new to the city this year, Mrs. Frieman enthusias tically fulfills the place left by her predecessor, Mrs. Nissim Wernick. General chairmen for the cur rent year are Mrs. David Alter - man and Mrs. Leon Frohsin, both outstanding leaders who have served in many capacities for civic and charitable organi zations in the past. Mrs. Alter- man is a past president of the Atlanta Chapter of Hadassah, a former vice president of the Ahavath Achim Sisterhood, and retains active participation on both of these boards at the pres ent time. She has twice served as chairman of the Atlanta Jew ish Welfare Federation Cam paign, Women’s Division. Mrs. Frohsin is currently serving her second consecutive term as chairman of the Wom en’s Division of the Atlanta Jewish Welfare Federation. She is a past president of the Serv ice Guild and has served four times as chairman for the At lanta Jewish Welfare Federation Campaign, Women’s Division.

E. Atlanta, Ga. SUN originally as Woman of the Year in Civic Service. Under the strong leadership of these two ladies there is no doubt but that the 1970 Women’s Israel Bond Campaign will ex ceed even last year’s remarkable victory. “It has to,” Mrs. Froh sin declares. “Israel’s needs are greater than they have ever been and we have to respond in every way we possibly can. Buying Bonds is the easiest way of all We’re not even giving them anything. We’re just transferr ing some of our savings from one bank to another, letting our dollars work for Israel while they are working for us. Any body can do that. It’s the least we can do.” Charleston Bond Drive Headed by Shapiro Samuel Robert Shapiro, prom inent businessman and commun al leader in Charleston, has ac cepted the chairmanship of Charleston’s 1970 campaign to advance the economic develop ment of Israel through the sale of State of Israel Bonds. The 1970 drive will mark the twentieth year of the participa tion of the Jewish community of Charleston in the growth of Israel’s economy through the Israel Bond Organization. It will seek to mobilize large sums of investment capital to maintain Israel’s economy at peak strength as a vital factor in its survival and as a means of ad vancing the prospects for peace in the Middle East, Mr. Shapiro said. Mr. Shapiro was born in Au gusta and received his elemen tary and high school education in Richmond County. He grad uated from the University of Georgia in 1963 with a degree in business administration. He entered the investment business in 1964 in Charleston and was elected as an allied member of the New York Stock Exchange, and a vice president of Frost, Johnson, Read and Smith in 1967. He serves on the boards of Jewish Community Cen ter, Charleston Jewish Welfare Fund, and Synagogue Emanu-el. He only recently returned from a trip to Israel. He is married to the former Regina Barth Krons- berg of Charleston. They have three sons, Joel Barth seven, Louis Steven five, and Harry Bernard three. Proceeds from Israel Bonds, which are sold in the United States, Canada and other parts of the free world, have been used to finance the expansion of industry, the development of agriculture, the exploitation of natural resources, the construc tion of housing, highways and and harbors, and the promotion of- transportation and tourism. In outlining plans for this year’s Israel Bond campaign, Mr. Shapiro described the im portance of increased assistance to Israel’s economic development at a time when the crisis in the Middle East has diverted the bulk of the country’s resources to meet a crushing defense bur den. “It is essential,” he said, “that Israel’s economy keep pace with its growing population, which is now more than 2,900,000. Some 40,000 immigrants entered in 1969, and an additional 60,000 are expected to come to Israel in 1970. Israel needs increased funds from Israel Bonds to ex pand housing and employment opportunities, and to make pos sible the growth of every eco nomic sector, in order to truly integrate the newcomers into the life of the country.” Mr. Shapiro emphasized the decisive role which Israel Bonds [ SO Council Elects Augustans Sam Silverstein and A. M. Carter, both members of the Augusta United Service Organ ization, have been elected to the USO National Council for two- year terms. The Walton Way Temple Sis terhood held a kitchen shower and brunch recently. Mrs. Betty Padilla, president, said the items brought to the shower would be used in the Temple kitchen. SAM SHAPIRO have played in the impressive economic progress achieved by Israel during the past two dec ades. During this period, he noted, the country’s gross na tional product has risen at an average rate of some 10 percent per year, reflecting large-scale expansion of every sector of the economy. He pointed out that this progress had taken place in spite of continuing boycotts, blockades, and frequent armed attack by the Arabs. “With the aid of Israel Bonds,” he said, “the coming years can open up new vistas of progress and development, and bring about an end to conflict and the beginning of a period of peace and prosperity.” -WANT ADS- FOR SALE: BLACK PERSIAN LAMB JACKET . . .
