ing Dr. Poul Borchsenius on
Monday, May 4 at 8 p.m. at the
Chieftain Lounge, Seattle Uni-
versity campus.
Dr. Borchsenius, a Lutheran
minister who was actively in-
volved in rescuing Jews during
the Nazi occupation of his na-
tive Denmark, will speak on
"The Future of the Judeo-
Christian IIeritage." His ex-
ploits led to his being called
"The Shooting Priest." Pastor
Borchsenius has devoted his
life to studying attd writing
bout Jews and Judaism, and
is author of many books per-
taining to the Jewish people,
their history and heroes, and
Israel. He also has written a
biography of Ben-Gurion, and
a history of anti-Semitism.
Pastor Borchsenius has not
been particularly popular in
church circles because of his
refusal, as a matter of theo-
logical principle, to convert
Jews to Christianity. He faced
a charge of heresy on this score
but the move was abandoned
when he won his bishop's sup-
port. He is a much-sought-after
lecturer on Jewish topics, be-
cause of his vivid and engross-
ing style. The opportunity to
hear this outstanding personal-
ity is being made possible by

a MESSAGE OF HOPE FROM ISRAEL
By II. I. K.
ONLY IN ISRAEL could such a message originate.
Written on a postcard--translation by the writer:
Rishon Leziyyon, 19, 3, 1964
"... Arrived in Israel yesterday at noon. By 10 last
night we were assigned nice, livable housing. Although
empty except for 4 beds, 1 small table, 2 chairs... We
have not secured positions yet but have hopes that we
will...
"... Upon leaving our home of 20 years (after years
spent in concentration camps) we were allowed to take
with us few clothes and ship bedding and cooking uten-
sils which will arrive here weeks from now..."
ONLY IN ISRAEL could this family of 4 arrive and
find the gate open as did the many thousands who came
before them and as will the many thousands yet to come
... to find a promise of new life, new hope and a bright
new future.

Jewish Family, Child
Service Hears Report
At Its Annual Meet
A eventful year marked by
consolidating and strengthen-
ing existing services rather
than expansion was described
by President Albert Hanan to
the members of the Jewish
Family and Child Service at
their annual meeting March 25,
1964. Itanan explained that the
accent on consolidation rather
than expansion in scope, and
number of services was due to
substantial curtaihnent of in-
come from the agency's two
major sources of income.
"In its 1963 campaign, the
United Good Neighbors sus-
tained a considerable loss of
revenue which it had to pass
on to its beneficiary agencies
in the form of reduced alloca-
tions," said Hanan. "Our allo-
cation was consequently re-
duced.
"The Isaac Cooper trust
which has helped sustain this
agency for many years has, as
its principal asset, a piece of
income producing real prop-
erty. The vagaries of the real
estate rental market, being
what they are, we received a
considerable amount less from',
the Cooper trust than we had
been receiving..."
"The U.G.N. tells us, and our
real estate consultants advise
us, that we cannot expect an
alleviation of these conditions
for some time."
Hanan then described the
services of the agency as fol-
lows:
"Ours has been an agency
dedicated to" the lal'ogr'essiVe
extension of services as needs
arise. It was founded in 1892
as the Ladies' Hebrew Benevo-
lent Society and consisted of a
group of highly motivated vol-
unteers whose main purpose
was to supply food, clothing
and shelter to the poor. As con-
cepts in social work changed
md broadened, so did the serv-
ices provided by this agency
increase. Over the years we
have evolved into a much more
complicated social organization
furnishing a variety of services
to individuals and family
groups, helping them to make
adjustments through counseling
given them by highly skilled
rofessionals. Perhaps our chief
function now is to prevent fam-
ily breakdown. This result we
strive to achieve by providing
services, in' four main cate-
gories:
First, are counseling services.
These are in the fields of mari-
tal problems, parent-child rela-
tionships, aging with its myriad
ramifications, unmarried par-
enthood, employment, prob-
lems resulting from physical
and mental illness, and helping
Immigrants and newcomers ad-
just to their new country.
Second, we give direct finan-
cial help. This basic service
:continues to be an integral part
of our program, although in
slightly altered form. We give
substantial financial aid to a
number of Jewish persons who
are not eligible for public as-
sistance. We have accepted the
responsibility of directly assist-
ing Jewish immigrants to settle
in and become integrated into
this community. Our commit-
ment in this respect, if meas-
ured by the respective quotas
accepted from the Hebrew Im-
migrant Aid Society, is greater
than the average of other Jew-
ish communities of comparable
size. This agency also gives al-
lowances to those who wish to
observe the Jewish dietary
laws but whose marginal in-
comes need supplementation in
order that they may be able to
afford to do so.
Third, we provide placement
of individuals in residences
that is finding foster homes
for dependent children so that
they can develop normally, and
placing old persons in private
residences and nursing homes
so that they can continue to
function as individuals.
Fourth (and final) is the
work we do on behalf of other
agencies. Most important in
this phase is the processing of
applications for admission of
persons into the Caroline Kline
Go]land Home. We also assist
the National Council of Jewish
Women in the selection process
of its Scholarship Program.
