ciation in Charge
Jews in Steelton have formulated
elaborate plans for collecting money
for tlie Jewish relief fund on Thurs

proclamation of President Wilson and J

of these will be a "package party" in

packages, which will be sold to the
highest, bidder without being opened.

the relief fund.
Arrangements are now being com
pleted for the observance of the day
by a committee of which David P.
Baker, Dauphin county court inter
preter and a Front street businessman,
is chairman. The other members in
clude Louis Laborwitz, Jacob Yosolo
witz and L. Laborwitz, all prominent
businessmen.
