to United Jewish Campaign headquarters. With all
Divisions making reports of their first efforts, the aver-
age increase is approximately 16%. The Campaign is too
young to set up this figure as indicative of final returns,
but the Campaign volunteeers are enthused with the
early response and are determined to reach the 1955 goal
of $550,000.

Two Jewish tractor opera-
tors, recent arrivals from Ar-
gentina, were shot and killed
by Jordanian infiltrees near
Meivoot Beitar in the Jerusa-
lem area. A day later, an Is-
rael patrol dashed there with
other infiltrees, killing one. In
central Israel, Jordanian ma-
rauders raided Israel herds
kidnapping two Arab shep-
herds and making off with 129
head of sheep.
Ramat Rachel, near Jerusa-

Hayarden, on the Syrian fron-
tier, was the scene of rifle fire
from across the border. Syrian
troops on the east shore of
Lake Tiberias, fired on Israel

Meanwhile, Israel authori-

will speak at a brunch at the
home of Mrs. A. D. Grossman
which has been planned by the
Women’s Division. Mrs. Home
has traveled widely in Europe,
North Africa and Israel and
has a first-hand knowledge of
conditions and possibilities in
these areas.
She was part of a fact-find-
ing mission sent by the United
Jewish Appeal to study condi-
tions of children and women
in those countries from “a
woman’s point of view.” After
visiting children’s homes, nurs-
ery’ schools, clinics and other
medical and welfare institu-
tions supported by the UJA
she conferred with Israeli lead-
ers on the needs of new immi-
grants to Israel.
Her message is of especial
interest to the women of Hous-
ton and as many as can attend
are invited to meet with Mrs.
Horne. Mrs. A. D. Grossman,
chairman of the. Women’s Di-
vision of the United Jewish
Campaign, stated that “this is
quite opportune and we are
most fortufate in getting Mrs.
Home to stop over and speak
to us on a subject so close to
us during our effort to raise
money in this single-gif cam-
paign.”
Organization work of the

along rapidly. The machinery’
