(Jewish Daily Bulletin)
A national scholarship fund of $30,000, known as the Hannah G. Solomon Scholarship Foundation, to be used in the free college training of young Jewish women in social service work was authorized in resolutions adopted here Tuesday by the National Council of Jewish Juniors in session at the Andrew Jackson Hotel here.
Interest in the proposed fund was given added impetus by the Chicago delegates who pledged $1,000 to the fund, the money to be available when $15,000 has been raised by the other locals.
The question of membership of married women in the junior council caused quite a stir at the meeting, with the married members fighting bitterly to retain their standing in the order. Heretofore the age and membership limit in the council had not been determined, but by an amendment to the constitution passed on first reading during the morning session, no more married women were to be taken into the junior council and members who were already married were to be kept on the active list only one year longer. When the amendment came up on second reading it was rated down. Miss Hazel Simon, president of the Nashville chapter of the National Council of Jewish Juniors, was elected president of the national council to succeed Miss May Freedman of Chicago, Ill.
The other officers elected today, were: Miss Minnie Stein of Pittsburgh, Pa., first vice-president; Miss Isabel Bernstein of Oakland, Calif.; second vice-president; Miss Jessica Shore, Brooklyn, N. Y., secretary; and Ray Miranda, Boston, Mass., treasurer.
