28 DAWES LAUDS JEHS FORWELFAREWORY “Philanthropic Spirit” of Race Stressed in Address i+ by Vice President. Vice President Tharles G. Dawes spoke in high praise of the “philan- the &:2° spirit” of the Jewish race in an address last night at the fourth biennial convention of the Jewish Welfare Board at the Jewish Community Center. The Vice President was the principal speaker at a banquet given last evening after two business sessions earlier in the day. Representatives of 300 constituent societies of the Jewish Welfare Board were present. They heard addresses and reports on the progress of the Jewish Center idea and listened to pleas from Jewish lay leaders calling for the wider development of the movement providing cultural and recreational activities for the growing Jewish generation. Vice President’s Eulogy. In the course of his address Vice President Dawes said: “When men associate themselves in a collective effort to render self-sacri- ficing service to their fellow men, they are engaging in what is not only one of the noblest endeavors of good citizen- ship, but its most effective one. ‘That the record in this country of Jewish philanthropy—so largely non-sectarian —so largely and intelligently covering the succor and encouragement of the man who does not have a fair chance and who is down in the world, and yet #0 mindful of those who struggle for an educati-n to fit them for the higher tasks oi life—so concerned with a wide distribution among our people of the benziits of medical science and inven- tion—that this record is so magnificent, while partly due to certain individuals, great and great-hearted leaders in the world whom we all know, is chiefly due to the fact that behind Jewish philan- thropy is always a collective pressure.’s Secretary Wilbur’s Address. In addressing the session yesterday afternoon, Curtis D. Wilbur, Secretary of the Navy, called on the American public for a continuance of the same type of service rendered during the war - to the men now in the service. He also urged the adoption of the proposed naval building program if “for no other reason than to make the Navy safe for its men.” Mr. Wilbur spoke of the work ©of the Jewish Welfare Board as follows: “An account of the service rendered by the Jewish Welfare Board during the World War at_this time would be inspiring. The efforts put forth by that organization for the mental, physi- cal and spiritual well being, not only of the Jewish soldiers but of all others within reach who sought the ministra- tions of the board, would inspire us again to renewed activity, but I will not undertake to recount these activ- ities, interesting and inspiring as they may be, not only because of your own greater familiarity with them, but also because today their significance lies not so much in the millions of men who were assisted; whose spirits were uplifted; whose hope and faith were kindled, but rather in the fact that there existed among the Jewish people the desire to do things, which they then accomplished, and that that desire, as well as the fruits already derived from it. still exists to comfort and bless mankind. In your effort you showed the same spirit which was shown by other great organizations with similar rpose. You were not only inspired g‘; the same motive, but you joined hands in effective co-operation in the raising of funds for such service and in the actual work upon the fleld. 1t is a common experience of men that ‘when various denominations and grouns engage in the type of humanitarian work which was carrled on during the World War, that jealousy, envy and yivalry spring up and hamper the work. Aid in World War Praised. “These consequences of such work were greatly minimized or altogether absent in the great endeavor in which the men of this Nation co-operated and co-ordinated their efforts. I feel, therefore, that today we may not only congratulate ourselves that men were helped and sustained during the World ‘War by your organization and by simi- lar organizations; we may not only con- gratulate ourselves. that there was that spirit of unity of effort which won the war, but also that there was a high type of high spriritual co-operation be- tween our people which expressed itself in the effort by your nr?munon and other organizations for the welfare of the men who were giving so much for the Nation.” In his presidental address Judge Trving Lehman, presiding officer, re- ported the progress of the Welfare ! Board and Jewish Center mcrven-wnm,I advising the delegates that there are now 300 constituent societies of the board and that the Jewish Center movement has been making exceptional progress in all the principal cities. Committee Reports Read. ‘The service rendered Jewish men in the Army and Navy was dealt with in a report by Dr. Cyrus Adler, chairman of the Army and Navy committee of the Jewish Welfare Board. Harry L. Gluckman, executive direc- -tor of the Jewish Welfare Board, de- clared that the most serious handicap § § Cwedish descent. 20,000 Qts. of Beer Served at Wedding Feast During 9 Days By the Assoclated Press. BELGRADE, December 17.— One of the longest and most ex- pansive wedding _celebrations known to these parts has just ended in the village of Sotine, near Mitrovitza. The principals in_the celebra- tion were Theresa Schwarz, vil- lage belle, 16, and Anton Seidel, son of & wealthy farmer, both of Festivities after the actual ceremony continued for nine days and nights, with 550 invited and 2,200 uninvited guests drinking, eating, dancing and singing with- out interruption. Six cows, 46 pigs, 16 calves, 600 chickens, 300 geese and 300 turkeys were slaughtered for the occasion, and 20,000 quarts of beer, 10,000 quarts of wine and 200 quarts of plum whisky were consumed. enterprise is the burden of a mortgage. The inevitable result of carrying a mortgage, he pointed out, is the reduc- tion of the staff and the curtailment of the institution’s program. The convention was arranged by a national committee composed of Leon J. Obermayer, chairman; Maj. Julius Ochs Adler, Henry J. Bernheim, Benjamin J. Buttenwieser, Felix Fuld, Mrs. Jerome J. Hanauer, Isaac Hassler, Joseph Rosenzweig and Jacob L. Wiseman. LEGISLATORS TO PLAN ALLEGHANY PROGRAM Chairman Harris of County’s Dele- gation to State Assembly Says He Is Not After Re-election.
