Morris Seltzer, a director of the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society (Hias), and president of the Metropolitan Title Guaranty Company of New York, has established a fund the annual income of which, approximately $600, will be devoted to bearing the cost of one day’s operations of Hias work in foreign countries. The fund has been created in honor of Mr. and Mrs. John L. Bernstein and will be paid on the 14th day of December, every year, their wedding anniversary. Mr. Bernstein was for many years the president of the organization, and is now chairman of the Committee on Work in Foreign Countries.
