Mrs. Leon Harris was inducted into her second term of office as president of the American Women’s Ort, at the anniversary luncheon held in the Hotel Astor on Saturday. Mrs. Emanuel London and Dr. Dora Bass became new vice-presidents; Mrs. Morris Cohen, the new recording secretary; Mrs. Eva L. Schuman, the financial secretary; and Mrs. J. F. London the corresponding secretary. Mrs. Fannie B. Schluger was reelected first vice-chairman, and Dr. Ida Hermann, reelected treasurer.
Dr. Leon Bramson, president of the International Ort, who recently arrived from Berlin, was the guest of honor and speaker. Asserting that training and equipping both adults and adolescents for occupations in industry and agriculture was the only practicable method of relieving the destitution of Jews in Eastern Europe, he detailed the Ort’s plans for furthering that program in the coming year.
