Yesterday’s meeting decided that details of organization will be handled by David White, of the Boston Maccabi Association, who was named field secretary. These details will include the division of the city into divisions, each of which will eventually have its own unit Maccabi, and its own set of officers, by-laws and program of activities.
Of considerable importance was the suggestion made by Mr. White that young people who are now organized in small groups having athletic and social programs but which have no solidarity, be absorbed into the Maccabi Association.
Such a step, he pointed our, would hasten the success of the movement and be in a way fulfillment for the widespread demand for close unity among Jewish youth.
