RoadShow Over Rounding Into Shape; Attend Omaha Hebrew FOR JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER BUILDING To Be Staged April 15 Club 31st Celebration Y Members Set $25,000 as Goal--Will Canvass the City Filled with enthusiasm for the cause and bristling with information on "How to get the pledges" 150 members of the senior group of the YM; and YWHA started out yesterday to raise the quota of $25,000 assigned to it for the -Jewish Community Center campaign. , . . . . The meeting of the gro.up on Tuesday "iiight was in the nature of a practical sales demonstration, •« staged by Harry Lapidus, as the salesman, and Sam Beber and Fred White, the "tough'prospects'. Every possible argument against contributing to the cause was advanced by Beber and White, and every argument was met forcefully and logically by Lapidus. At the end of the "lesson" the ,Y members were so sure that they knew every possible selling point for the Jewish Community Center, that they lost no time in securing their prospect cards and beginning the work. . v Reports of their activities on Wednesday, the first day during which the group was in the field, showed a total of 82,930.00 pledged.

More Workers Needed to Help in Campaign The long dreamed-of Jewish Community Center in. Omaha can-be realized within ten days, if YOU, every man and woman of you, and every'boy and girl of you,-, will help "put this drive over. More workers are needed in this wonderful cause. H u n dreds of men and women ..can _ still be used to aid in this great campaign. All those that desire to help NOW can do'so by calling Harry H. Lapidus at Jack'-" son 2724 or Samuel' H. Schaefer at Jackson 5377. - All those who are .working in this cause will be mentioned in the honor roll that "will' be hung in the New Jewish Community Center, and which will remain there as a monument, for all the generations to come, to let them know who were the workers that made the building possible forthem.
