Although the campaign of the In- structive Visiting Nurse Society for a two-year budget of $100,000 offictally closed last night, efforts are being 4 continued by a select committee among the Jewish people of Washing- 1on to raise a fund of $1,400 with which to pay the salary of an instruc- ttve visiting nurse for one vear. « Under the heading “An Opportunity ior the Jews of Washington.” the com- ittee writes: “The Jewish poor of Washington for the past twenty years have engaged the services of the In- structive Visiting Nurses. Several churches have already pledged the support of one staff nurse and we, the Jews of Washington, wish to do | likewise and we are sure it will be «casy of accomplishment.” The letter is signed by Rev.
