"Ltist yt.'ar, through the splcn did cuoiieratloii of every ineni. ber uf the Women's Commitlee, an outstaniiing contriliulion was made to the I'nited Jewisli I-^Lind. This year's undertaking, in the gravest crisis for our Ijcojiie, has matle it necessary for Jews uf America to exert every effort to raise much greater funtis to prevent wholesale star vation 4ntl annihilation of these oppresseti people. I am confi dent that the Jewish women of Columbus will not fail in this the greatest of all humanitarian efforts", Mrs. Schiff declared.
HAUTFOiU) (JPSl — Five hundreti farmers, Jewish anti non-Jewish, attended the pre sentatjon of an ambulance do¬ nated to the U. K. Army Medi¬ cal Cor()s by the Jewish Farm¬ ers of Hebron and Columbia.
No emergency in the history ot world Jewfry is com¬ parable lo (he (ragfic position of the Jewish people today, and to meet this challenge Columbus will again rededicate itself to the ideals of Jewish community responsibility and service at a dinner to observe the formal opening of the 1344 United Jewish Fund Campaign. The annual event, which has always been a symbol of our united community, will be held next Tuesday, June (ith, (i;.'IO P. JM., at the Winding Hollow Country Club. . It is an expression of the combined effor(s of all (he Jews of our city on behalf of distressed and suffering Jews the world over.
To prove its readiness, willingness and ability to as¬ sume its rightful share in leadership and responsibility, Columbus Jewish Community has already gone forward and organized its workers and leaders to make a whole¬ hearted effort in the present heart breaking appeal that comes to this community from overseas and from numerous other agencies seeking succor and assistance for their trag¬ ically important work.
The majiir beneficiary of tbis year's cainiiaign is llic i.'nited .lewish ,\p|ieal for Itefugees. Overseas .N'eeils and Palestine, which is seeking to rai.se $.32,- ooo.ddd in mil fur relief anti re- habiiitaliun in Ailieii, neutral and iiberateti areas, for the war effort and refugee .settlement lirngram of the Jewisli home land in Palestine, and fur assist¬ ance in the atijustment uf new- ctimcrs ill the i'nited Slates.
/rhls iliree frtint huinaiidarian eiitleavur is being carrieii un liy tile .luint Dislriliulion Commit¬ tee. I'niteii Palestine Appeal and Xalinual Ucfugee Service, the three major Ahierican agencies which have liecm respOnsiiiie for sustaining the lives uf over 3,- 11(111,1)00 Jewish victims uf Naz¬ ism tiuring the past decaiie. The (United .lewish Appeal is the foremost .lewish organization In the I'nited Slates registered with the Presitlent Roosevelt's War   Relief   Control   Buard,-,.
In a statemenl l.ssueti this week by Robert W. Schiff, Gen¬ eral Campaign Chairman, he saiti:
"'i'he need in IIMI is greal;er than e\er hefiirc. The European scene is darker Ihan in previous years and the urgency ftir relief is great. Tlie national organiza- tiim.-^ and insliuitions must aisti meet rising custs antl greater financial burden.

Tn CtiiiilKit .¦\iiti.8t'iiiUlsiii Another iniporianl point stres'seil by Mr. Schiff was that part of llie funtis raiseti wili go to support agencies which fight anti Semilism in the United - Slates.
"I'ai-t of Ihat $32,000,000 is neetleti to insure your future and that of your children in the fight against the rising tide of ¦ disconl and disunity which is threatening to break the bonds of harmony right here in Amer¬ ica.
"Hardly a Jew in this com¬ munity", he added, "but has lelt the ugly breath of bigotry and racial prejudice. .Hardly a Jew in America but has read and heard and even seen the rising tide of. hatred against our people. {Continued on Page 8)
