The National Executive Committee of Avukah, the Student Zionist Federation of America, meeting here for the first time, decided to hold the annual convention of Avukah in Boston, Dec. 24-29. Samuel Blumenfeld, president of Avukah, presided and members from several mid-western colleges were in attendance.
It was reported at the meeting that the necessary $10,000 for the Chizik Memorial Fund is being rapidly subscribed. It is planned to erect a memorial building in Chuldah, Palestine, after the town, which was destroyed in fighting between Jews and Arabs, will have been rebuilt.
