By JANICE ARNOLD
MONTREAL-
Steve Ain, national executive-director of Canadian Jewish Congress, has been appointed professional in charge of the Canadian office of the Council of Jewish'Federa-tions and Welfare Funds to be located in Toronto.
Target date for the opening of, the office, to be housed in the Toronto Jewish Congress building, is July 1. The Canadian CJF office will be administered by a 36-member advisory council: 11 representatives of eacli Canadian member of the, CJF; the eight Canadians on the CJF board of directoris; the 11 executive directors of the federations in.Canada; the president of Canadian Jewish Congress; the chairman of the UIA; the national president of JIAS. arid the three executive-directors of these organizations. There _will be an eight-nieriTBer exec-utivt committee.
The Ne.w York-based CJF is the association, serving Jewish community, federations,. welfare funds and community councils in North America.
The decision to estab-. lish a Canadian CJF office was made at the National Budgeting Conference, plenary meeting held in Toronto in January. A steering committee of the. NBC is presently working out the details of - the office's function and will
continue to work closely with the office.
Cost of the office is ari-t.icipatcd to be about S60-70.000, to be paid entirely by the CJF.
Canadian communities currentlv pay around S160,000'a year" to the CJF and during the past year there has been a re-examination of the services Canada has been getting in return.
Basically the Canadian office will provide communities with more direct access to CJF resources and services.
Data gathering, staff recruitment, leadership development, fund-raising techniques, budgeting and planning, endowment funds and assistance in structuring the relationship between multiple ap-
Steve Ain
^peais and federation campaigns, will be specific areas of concern.

Camp Hatikvah closing for 191 S
VANCOUVER-
Camp Hatikvah — a community landmark here for 40 years — is suspending its ordinary operations for summer 1978-, but hopes to resume regular programs the following summer, according to The Jewish Bulletin.
This marks the second time the camp has closed temporarily. In summer . 1955, when the move from Crescent Beach to the present site at Oyama was being made. Camp Hatikvah also suspended regular operations.-
The camp re-opened in 1956 with a strong season and the camp committee emphatically voiced its hope that that success will again take place in 1979. . Until 1975 the camp (iperated under the umbrella of the Zionist Organization of Canada (ZOO, though all of the human resources and most of the financial resources were provided by the local community.
Harold Orloff, a longtime member of the camp committee and official of the ZOC. stated: "Since 1967 the ZOC's role locally has gradually dissipated and apparently so has its financial position. The ZOC has not contributed toward the camp since 1975 and a significant deficit has developed."
Projections for 1978 op-t-raiions indicated thai further losses of SIO.OOO to S15.000would be experienced, even without_,ade-quai'e provision fOmeed^d capital improvements.
Camp Hatikvah was on-Iv accepted by the Jewish Cdmnuinity Fund and Council as a general beneficiary.In 1977. Prospects for ilie camp receiving the necessary funds from the JCK and'c for 1978 were considered by canlp officials as being dim.
In 1977. the ZOC announced its intention tiT • sell the.camp, presumably to offset the' ZOC's deteriorating financial position.
When the camp at Oyama was purchased by the community in 1956, the title was put in the name of the ZOC. The property ■ value has increased manv times over in the past 22 years', it was pointed out.
The ZOC's intention to sell the camp h^s been strongly opposed by the

.MONTREAL [Staff] —
There has been no clarification of why Eastern Region Canadian Jewish Congress executive meetings remain closed to press and public despite an announcement early last fall by Chairman Dr. Melvyn Schwartzben that, they uould be open.
Dr. Schwartzben has refused to comment on the situation, but did indicate the Eastern Region has no plans to follow the Central Region,.which has now opened its meetings to the press. ' Knowledge of the change in heart in the Eastern Region came only when a CJN reporter attended the first open executive meeting in November and was told not to record anything that took place. The reporter was later told by Dr. Schwartzben not to attend another meeting.
Four meetings of the executive have taken place this season in the Eastern Region.
camp committee and the community generally, spokesmen said.
OnFeb. 6. 19.77. alarge contingent of camp supporters, including representatives from Edmonton and Calgary, met with ZOC officials to express their support for the camp and their opposition to the claim by the ZOC of ownership of the camp.
The camp committee hopes this matter will be successfully settled in the near future and in time for-the camp to re-open for the summer of 1979.
During this interval, the committee will be streamlining its method of operation to reduce costs, and through rentals in this coming summer hopes that the current deficit will be reduced.
