Although the biennial drive of the Federated Jewish Charities for $165,000 had reached only $129,000 at the official end of the drive, Nat Stone, president of the Federation and vice-chairman of the drive, announced that the drive would go on to a finish-“until the $165,000 is raised, and it will be raised,” he added.
Ed C. Ostermann is chairman of the drive and has about 300 workers soliciting from Jewish persons in Milwaukee.
In addition to the seven local Jewish charities aided by the Federation, these national institutions receive help from the funds solicited among Milwaukee’s Jewry:
The Jewish Orphan Home, Cleveland, Ohio; Montefiore Home for Aged and Infirm Israelites, Cleveland; Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society, New York; the Jewish Consumptives Relief Society, Denver, Col.; the National Jewish Hospital for Consumptives, Denver; the Leo N.
