The three-day convention of the Junior Hadassah closed here with the election of Frances Lesser of Boston as national president for the second time. Flora Snyder of Pittsburgh, Lillian Shulman of Chicago, Naomi Flax and Edith Schild of Brooklyn were chosen vice-presidents; Esther Levy of New York, treasurer and Hannah Goldberg of Boston, secretary.
The convention also voted $10,000 for Pardess Anna (agricultural colony in Rabi) $17,000 for the Nurses’ Training School in Jerusalem, $35,000 for its Meier Shfeyah children’s village and $20,000 to hepl redeem the Haifa Bay tract. This will be part of the annual budget to be raised by the 10,000 members.
A resolution was adopted to foster and encourage the cultural fellowship founded at last year’s convention in Detroit. By the fellowship the Junior Hadassah assumed a definite standard for cultural work in organizations.
