Mrs, Murray Newman,, chairman of the J.C.C. Day Camp Committee has announced that the Day Camp will offer a special program this summer for' children ngi'd 10-12. Tho program which will he implemented by two specially (rained members of the staff, will be especially geared to Ihu interests of the older children, Included in the RaiiRer Program will be activities such .T5 camp-outs, special field trips and senior camping skilh.
year will, in effect, be eiittini; their r.npporf. of the carnpai;;n. Where can w<* nil? ''If we fail to raise the Sfiflfi.OftO needed to criver our current obligations, we have to cut something out of the service;; provided by criR;pai;;n. ftiritls'.' .Mr. Feinberj; declared, Mrs. Arthur (iold.';tein. chairman of the Women's Division, asked the same fjiiestions of the Women of the community at the annual city wide Women's I)cssert Luncheon this week. "Can we tell the .Jewish child who gets a free week at thn Esther K. Newman camp that he can't, KO because his parents can't pay" she asked? ••Shall we tell our youth we can't afford a sports program or youth programs at the Center? .Shall we. give up our Jewish Press which is the one important:, all•rricompassinj; news media we have for Jewish life in Omaha?" Mrs. Goldstein asked the same f|uestion about funds used to support the syna£op;M''1 rt'lif'n'Mts schools, the care of our acjed at the Dr. I'hilip Sher home; the efforts of the Family Service Department; to salvage d e s p ' r a t e lives, "which people shall we tell 'we
c m no loiifjer help you' " sho asked? Statistics and Hmn;in Beings Mr. Feinbcr;; reviewed tho statistics of the overseas needs. '•The statistics of the thousands of people who will be aided by UJA .funds fail to tell the story" hf: said. 'V,'c must remember that half of this statistical- number represents children desperately in need of ••ssist-inee, and v/e cannot think of children as statistics. All of these numbers are indeed human beings" ho said, '(.','iri we fell the little girt in a Moslem country that tha JDC can no longer feed her tha one nourishing meal she get? at. school each day even', though her poverty-stricken p a r e n t s will not be able to replace it? Can we tell thousands of impoverished refnr-er1 .Jewish families from Algeria that we cannot help them? Can we tell those seeking refuge from (he terror of the Iron Curtain countries that they m u s t look for aid elsewhere? Those are the r|iie.stion<; each of us must ask ourselves before deciding' our individual responsibility to the campaign this year" Mr, Feinberp said.
