The national board of Pioneer Women, organization of Labor Zionist women, today adopted a program for its 50,000 members throughout the United States and Canada, calling for “education and social action” in support of medical care for the aged under social security; liberalization of immigration policies by the U.S. Government; broader civil rights legislation and equal status for women in Job opportunities.
The board also approved a special $50,000 allocation to be sent to Israel immediately to aid in the expansion of new development areas. Mrs. Blanche Fine, national president, said that the allocation was made in response to an appeal from Moetzet Hapoalot, Pioneer Women’s sister organization in Israel, indicating that increased funds were urgently needed to service educational and community centers in immigrants centers.
