r
One of the most interesting and most successful meetings ever held, by the Board of Directors of the Jewish Welfare Federation took place Monday evening, November 17th. Fortyseven directors were present. President • Sher turned over the chair to Mr. Nathan Bernstein, who presided. The financial and statistical reports, as read by the secretary, Mr. Carl C. Katleman, showed that the Federation "was engaged in more relief and soda] service cases than any time in its history. The superintendent's report was given by Mr. William R. Blumenthal and promoted a very spirited discussion. Mr. Blumenthal emphasized the need for the Community giving 100 per cent to the support of the Wise Memorial Hospital. He praised the good -work being done by the Hospital and said that it was necessary to resell the Hospital to'the Community. The superintendent's report, also emphasized ,*he need for Jewish employers giving vrt>rk to Jewish applicants for employment. All the activities of th' Federation, as discussed by Mr. Bh? menthal, will be found in full on tr s last page of. this issue. Among thots who commented on the superintendent's report were: Dr. Philip Shor, Rabbi Frederick Cohn, Mr. Henry Monsky arid Mr. .A. B. Alpirn. The financial report of the Federation was given by the chairman of the Finance Committee, Mr. Joe L. Wolf, who made one of the most hapxuly, effective talks jrtrich .bordered on the dramatic. As Mr. Wolf read the many names of those who brought in 100 per cent reports on bills collected, he was greeted with almost continuous applause. Mr. Wolf stated that although there was still $12,000 to collect, he was more hopeful than ever that the Federation will go over the top Mii year with colors flying. A. number'of'the directors asked for more bills to collect, and Mr. Wolf replier": "You have d'.i« so well the past few weeks, since, our last meeting, that I am not going to give you any more bills this evening. Wait unto I call on you for help. We h — overcome the crisis. Never before in the history f the Federation did we receive so many checks by maD.

Dr. H. M. ScheWdn Wffl Be Buried in Palestine Great Zionist • Leader • Met Tragic Death in Chicago on No. ' vember 2. Zionists throughout the-world heard with profound grief of the tragic death of • Dr. Menachem Mendel Scheinkin, who was killed in Chicago on Sunday, November 2, at 1:30 in the morning, when a street car in which he was returning to his home from a Zionist meeting, collided with a freight train at a railroad crossing on North avenue. Dr. Scheinkin died at the St. Joseph" iiospital, where he was taken after the accident. Acting under instructions of the head office of the American Zion Commonwealth in New York, Chicago Zionists embalmed the body of the deceased, which" will be taken to Palestine for burial; The body left Chicago on Wednesdayand reached New York the 'following day. Funeral services were held in New York under the auspices of. the Zionist organization and the American Zion Commonwealth. The body was taken to Palestine on the S. S. Sania of the Fibre Line on Wednesday, November 12. . • Dr. Scheinkin, who was still in, his fifties, was for many years-one of the leading personalities. in the Zionist movement and' in the life of the new Yishub in" Palestine. . ' During the period of the war, when Kemal Pasha drove many prominent Jews from the land, Dr. Scheinkin was forced to leave Palestine. Believing that he would soon be able to re-enter the country, he lingered for a time in Egypt. Finally, disappointed over his inability to return, he proceeded to America, where he soon became an active force in the Zionist world. He traveled the length and breadth of the country, spoke at hundreds of Zionist meetings, and wrote in Yiddish and Hebrew forthe principal Jewish periodicals here. During the past few years he traveled to Palestine and back to America three limes. During his last visit to America, Dr. Scheinkin devoted his time exclusively to- the interests of th&-^merican Zion Commonwealth. His tragic end came after a meeting in Chicago, where he addressed a group of Zionists jr. the interest of Herzlia, the' American Zion Commonwealth colony now being built in Palestine.
