Cash Must Positively Be Secured At Once If Community's Social Service Work Is To Be Continued.
What a simple word and yet so musical—divine That falls first from a childish baby tongue, And yet, throughout this whole wide world we find "- No sweeter song than this was ever sung. ' • " A love, so heavenly, so great is hers, : Its .breadth, its depth, its height—infinity, And were we but worthy of that love divine, This world of ours would much the better be.
Five thousand dollars cash is needed by the Welfare Federation immediately. "This money must be raised immediately," said Harry Malashock, chairman , of. the finance committee. The ^ financial condition of the Federation is so desperate, that unless the people of the city, will help, the Federation will have to suspend all of its activities.. Never before, in the entire history of the Federation, in all its years of caring for the hundreds of needy and deserving widows and children of this city, in all its work for the YM and YWHA, for the Wise Hospital, for the City Talmud Torah and the Talmud Torah on the South Side, for the Old Peoples Home, for the Cleveland Orphan Home, for the Consumptives' Hospitals in Denver, in all its social service and immigrant aid work, was the Federation in such desperate straits as it is now. , ONLY THE IMMEDIATE CASH CONTRIBUTION OF ITS SUBSCRIBERS AND THE ENROLLMENT AT ONCE OF EVERY JEW IN OMAHA AS A SUBSCRIBER CAN SAVE THE FEDERATION.

To her we go when skys look dark and drear, - When those we thought our friends have caused us pain, And she, bless her, kissing away our furious tears, Just-smiles—restoring- confidence again. _.
"Let's Finish the Job"—this is the slogan adopted by th€ workers to put the campaign over for New Jewish Community Center building in Omaha. The work cannot be delayed any longer. Every prospective subscriber and very man and woman in the city will be solicited for their individual pledge, during the coming week. "It is YOUR duty, the duty of every man and woman in the city of Omaha to subscribe to this cause,", said Harry Lapidus. $17,000 more is needed to finish the "job". This money must be raised so as work for the selection of the sight for the proposed building will not be delayed.
