Thousand To Meet Needs
An all-out effort to raise the $123,450 still required to
reach the 1963 United Jewish Campaign goal during the
next seven days before the drive formally concludes on
March 7 with a dinner program at Westwood Country
Club observing the 25th anniversary of the United Jewish
Appeal, and honoring all past chairmen of the Houston
drive, was called for by Harding Frankel, general chair-
man.
“I must repeat what I have said so often before,” Chair-
man Frankel declared, “the fate of our drive rests with
the willingness of our volunteers to complete their assign-
ments now. We know from our past records that the gifts
to the Campaign are there for the asking, but we simply
must reach out to those who are still waiting to hear from
us. We can delay no longer. We must finish up our drive
this next week,” Mr. Frankel said.
Anniversary Program
Recognition of the important contribution made by
campaign leadership of the past quarter of a century to
the major beneficiary of the United Jewish Campaign,
the UJA, will be the primary focus of the dinner meeting
set for Thursday, March 7, at Westwood Country Club,
