As a result of a study made by
the Council on Aging of the
Community Council Committee
of the Seattle Federated Jewish
Fund and Council, Articles of
Incorporation have ,been filed by
Melville Oseran, chairman pro-
tern of a new corporation to be
known as the Jewish Residence
Club of Washington. Mr. Archie
S. Katz is chairman of the Com-
munity Council Committee and
Dr. Norman Clein is chairman
of the Council on Aging. The
study brought out the fact-that
there are at least 1,500 Jewish
residents in the Seattle area over
5 years of age, and that there
are a sufficient number of older
people who need assistance in
relationship to their living plans,
but who would not benefit from
a home for the aged, such as the
Caroline Kline Galland Home.
It was recognized that isola-
tion, loneliness, carele nutrition
h,bits and minimum incomes,
which are important factors in
the aggravation of the aging
process, could in large measure
be controlled through the estab-
lishment of a Residence Club.
Dr. Kurt J. Herz, Executive Di-:
rector of United Help, I]m., of
New York, advised our commu-
nils, that a sum would be avail-
able for such a purpose from
lends held by he Material
Claims Conference, to assist Nazi
victims from Central Europe now
living in America. An application
for such financial assistance was
filed, and there has been an as-
'surance that approximately $25,-
000 would be available fox' the
purchase of a building to house
l0 aged Jewi.h persons, provided
that the project would have the
lull cooperation of the Seattle
Yederated Jewish Fund and
Council and the Jewish Club of
Washington as co-sponsors, and

December 9,
Women's Committee Of
Brandeis Aids Library
Mrs. Sam L. Levinson, Presi-
dent of the Seattle chapter, Na-
tional Women's Committee of
Brandeis University, announces
that all women who join before
January 1, 1958, will be recog-
nized as Charter Members. They
will have their final opportunity
to sign the original charter of
organization in January at a tea
honoring new members; time and
place will be announced in the
next issue of The Transcript.
Mrs. Levinson stated that
are now exactly 100 paid-up mem-
bers, of whom 15 are life mem-
bers. Those who wish to join
should do so now, said Mrs. Lev-
inson, by sending one year's dues
of $5 or a life membership of $100
to the financial secretary, Mrs.
William S. Wienir, 6250 Lake
Shore Drive.
Basically, the Brandeis Wom-
en's Committee is not a fund-
raising organization. Support to
the Brandeis library is given by
membership dues, and in addi-
tion, participation in the Book
Fund. Donors and recipients of
gifts'to the Book Fund can have
their names inscribed in the
Brandeis University library. Mrs.
Irving Anches, vice-president in
charge of the Book Fund, has
chosen as her Committee Mrs.
Sam Rubinstein, Miss Ruth Hell-
man and Mrs. Charles Alhadeff,
who will be happy to supply ad-
ditional information concerning
the Book Fund.
CARE Benefits from
Halloween Collections
Thanks to a junior high school
student in Seattle who is con-
vinced that i-Iallowe'en children's
tours of the neighborhood should
have more significance than col-
lecting treats and candy for
themselves, many needy people
in Israel will receive CARE sur:
plus food parcels.
Tom Lobe, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Ludwig Lobe, 731 50th Av.e
N.E., decided to "organize" some
of his friends into collectors for
CARE contributions and was so
successful in his plan more than
2,530 pounds of food will aid the
Israeli needy.
His group included 13 boys
and one girl and their canvass
brought $165 in collections. As a
result of publicity given his plan
in some papers, several checks
were sent for CARE, to Tom, who
did all of tlie planning, obtaining
of identification material and
containers from the Northwest
CARE office, and directed his
group. The young people who de-
voted their Hallowe'en to the
CARE project in addition to Tom
were his brother, Jimmy, Patty
Wood and her brother, Wyatt
Walt Kuelthau, Bob Kaplan
Howard Lowen, Doug Arensberg
Keith Liptack, Tom Sanford, Bob
McMahn, Mike Lafrombouise,
Ken Cribley and Bob Baskerville.
The contributions went toward
CARE Food Crusade packages
containing an average of 22
ounds each. of surplus foods
from the U. S. government. The
one dollar per package contri-
bution helps cover costs of pack-
aging and delivery. Each package
goes in the name of the donor.
Contributions in any amourit
may be sent the Northwest
CARE office, Frederick & Nel-
son, Seattle.
