THE ACUDATH achim OPEN
FORUM IS ATTRACTING
WIDE ATTENTION
The Agudath Achim Open Forum has resumed its activiticb for the season. The first mcctinpr was held last evening, the iiragram bein); featured with a re¬ view of "The Way of Alt Flesh" by Rabbi Isaac Werne.
Hach Friday eiening, the program will commence at 8 p m sharp and will consist of: Responsive Readings, Con¬ gregational singing, lecture of about fif¬ teen minutes' duration, by the Rabbi and following the lecture, questions concern¬ ing the same as well as on topics of general Jewish interest will be enter- tajnc<l frpm the audience and discussed
The Rabbi has classified his lectures for the season into Biblical Literature, liiography and Current Events, giving preference to Jewish Current Events of public interest, whenever the occasion de¬ mands.
The musical program is in ch.irge of Cantor A. Friedman and his choir, who will be assisted by Aliss Minna Volk, the young lady who made quite a hit with her singing of Hebrew as well as English songs last scison. The quality of Cantor Friedman's singing is too well known to require any comment. It is snificicnt tp state that everyone who at¬ tends the Open Forum may anticipate an entertaining as well as an educational evening.
Above all, let us alw.iys bear in mind that the kind of learning that may be 'acquired from the Rabbi's lecture and from Ihe discussions that follow is some thing that is not available at any other institution in the city.
This season's Open Forum will again lie under the direction of the following committee: Mesaers. Arthur Gilberg, Max Schotenstcin, Joseph Schwartz and Attorneys Harry Schwartz and Robert L. Mellman. The publ'o is cordially in¬ vited atul is again reminded to be on hand at the Agudath Achim Synagogue each Friday evening, at 8 p. m. sharp. The program will commence on time re¬ gardless of the number of people pres¬ ent and is expected to last not later lhan ten f/clock.

AISTNG tlic diarities fund of $666,133.00 to take care of Columhus' unfortunates for another year is everyhiuly'h job," baid Ed Schanfarber to the writer in a eonver.salion la.st week. "This is not a rich man's job, nor a poor man's jol), nor the job of any particular church, but every man in rolumlnis who has a regular income, who works by the day or receives money fiom anj source surely can afford some portion of that income for the relief of tho.'ie who arc orphaned, crippled, sick, or di'>trcssed Then' may be tho.se who say that the rich people in Columbus .should take care of the charities, but I l)elieve that it is the job of every alile-bndicd man and woman in this city to do their part in raising this fund, because J believe that every able-bodied man and woman should be willing to help those less fortunate than themselves."
The Ohio Jewish Chronicle feels that this is the proper attiutdc to take towards a campaign vvhich unites every element of our city for the purpose of j)romoting the common welfare of our entire citi¬ zenship. All sectarian and racial lines are wiped out by the Coni- mnnily Chest idea which Columbus has adopted. We now have ani opportunity to show the world that when the interest of the entire c.tj is at stake prejudice, bigotrj, and intolerance are relegated In the haiU- grnimil The 33 organizations whose budgets are included in the com¬ munity fund represent practically ever} clement of our population. We all stand united to forward every philanthropir and educational proj of Columbus.

CARD OF THANKS
It is with deepest gratitude that we express our thanks to our many friends for their very kind and thoughtful at¬ tention at the time of our recent be^ reavement.
THE STEINBERG FAMILY,
401 Farsong Avenue
"Misery"—our common fne--ha^ bnuight us all together for a short while at least—in one common brotherhood.
While we have progressed a long way in poinl of ci\di;!atii>n, wi have not yet re.iched the point where we do not have a certain percentage of om citizens who aic in due iieeil oi outside assistance at certain times; and when those tiiiiea coine, it is cle.irly the ijuty of those more fortunate lo see that those in difliculty aie helped and helped in an cffi' eient. understanding manner.
No one should be forced to subscribe to the (.hariiies l'"uiid. but surely overjone realizes Ihat the"Tfmney bfting raised in this big cam¬ paign is handled in a more efficient manner by a group of men of well- known standing and integrity and th.it the modern methods now used in distributing this riione> insure lo ever) siibsciiber a full measure of results for the money they have contributed.
Before the charities were organized into the present campaign, the burden of taking care of Columbus' sick, distre.s.sed and unfortujijtj,,,' was carried by comparatively few ot our citizens.^•^{/.£|,ij year, under the organized plan, about 20,ooo^of.,^7uT "eiTizens will be contributors to the fund. ^_ ,„ ^- --—^
It isjaacir"better for Columbus to have 20,0oo of her citizens in¬ terested in helping take care of the unfortunates rather than just about 2,000.
Of course we are all hoping for the time when chanty and welfare work will not be necessary and modern welfare methods, especially the preventative work being done in so many activities, will in time decrease the need for charity; but that time has not yet been reached and there is no question as to whether the inoney now sought is necessary. It is absolutely requisite if Columbus is to do her full duty in taking care of her dependents the coming year.,
Tbe Chronicle feels con5dent that our readers will dn their share a|nd more in the forthcoming campaign.
The Jews of this city have always manifested the real spirit of
public service.   That they will respond to the appeals which will be made
to them during the coming week is a foregone conclusion.   An oppor-y
tunity of this kind will be considered a privilege by every conscientious
ew.

The Community Fund plan has heeii recognized by a majority of the progres¬ sive cities of the United States and Can¬ ada as the one best method for raising money for, and administering their So¬ cial Agenties The Budget System, which is very finely organized in Columbus, ap¬ peals to the general public as bringing the same kind of intelligent supervision in the administration of the Fund as ont- would expect in a successful corporation
