THANKS CITY FOR
SUCCESS OF BIG
WAR FUND DRIVE
Chairman of Jewish Relief
Committee Speaks For
Hebrews of City
The success attending the recent '
campaign for J15.000 for Jewish War
Relief and Welfarfe Work, through
which nearly $25,000 was secured. Is
attributable to the. splendid spirit ,
which actuates Harrisburg in all war |
campaigns according to David Ivauf- |
man, chairman of the Jewish execu
tive committee. *Mr, Kaufman lias
wrlten the following letter, addressed
to the people of Harrisburg:
"Greatly pleased with the success
of their campaign to raise funds lo
cally for tile Jewish War Relief and |
Welfare Work fund, the executive
committee in charge of the campaign
wishes to thank the citizens of Har
risburg for their splendid co-opera
tion and assistance. Throughout our
'drive' there was in evidence the
same spirit of unity which has man
ifested itself in all recent cam
paigns—the Liberty Loan. Red
Cross, Knights of Columbus. Y. M.
C. A. and others. Harrisburg In Its
contributions to Jewish war work
has again showed Its pre-eminent
patriotism and its. desire to relieve
suffering among the unfortunates
abroad, as well as morally and phys
ically to look after the men who are
serving in the United States Army
and Navy.
"The Jews of this city and Steel
ton are pleased with the nonsectar
ian spirit which showed itself during
the recent campaign. The work of
the Jews at home and abroad re
ceived the commendation of people
generally, regardless of religions or
creeds. That our fund 'went over
the top' is due In great measure to
this fact.
"We are particularly grateful to
the committee of non-Jewish citizens
clialrmaned by William Jennings.
The work of this committee was
most excellent, its response magnifi
cent—not alone in monetary contri
butions, but in moral support.
"Particular thanks are due also to
the daily papers of Harrisburg for
the splendid publicity given the cam
paign and the reasons for the cam
paign. And this committee wishes to
voice Its belief that the success of
all of Harrisburg's campaigns has
been due, first, to the patriotism of
the public and its generosity, and,
second, to the wide publicity given
all campaigns by the city newspa
pers.
"We desire to thank Floyd Hop
kins, manager of tl*> Orplieum Thea
ter, who very kindly donated the
use of that theater for our mass
'meeting of Monday. February 18.
"Our thanks are due all citizens
of Harrisburg and Steelton, and they
may rest assured that their contribu
tions will save many lives, and fit
many soldiers to go forth with clean
hands and pure hearts to face the
Great Adventure. We extend our
heartiest appreciation for the mag
nificent spirit of brotherhood which
has moved all to perform their serv
ice of brotherly love.
