UJA Campaign Chairman Tubby Cole [left] helps lawyers Chuck and Phil Schwartz in telephone blitz.
UJA's barristers' division raises more than $100,000
TORONTO-
, For two days last week the boardroom of Goodman & Carr, a downtown law firm, was the scene of a telethon blitz which went a long way in cleaning up a large number of cards in the United Jewish Appeal barristers' division.
Some 20 lawyers shuffled busy schedules to take time out during the day to ■ telephone colleagues who had not yet made a contribution to the 1978 campaign. During the two davs. an amount in excess of'5100,000 was raised
from those who were contacted.
Prof. Mendes Da Costa, of the University of Toronto law faculty, was so determined to take part in the telethon, he sent his wife Barbara in his place, when he was unable to get away from his classes.
Mrs. Da Costa was not the only female to participate in the telethon. Clara Muskat, a veteran Toronto lawyer, showed up on both days and completed 200 calls.
By mid-afternoon on the second dav of the blitz.
there were as many as 12 lawyers in the boardroom at the same time. Those who had little time to spare or couldn't get near one of the phones, took cards home to follow up on their own.
Campaign Chairman Tubby Cole dropped in on the first afternoon to greet the teiethoners, only to find himself working alongside Chuck and Phil Schwartz for a few hours, helping with the cleanup.-
They took over from three young lawyers, Ger-
ald Morris, Joel Guber-man and Joseph Shier, who had to go back'to their offices after spending two hours on the blitz.
Just about all the associates in the Goodman & Carr offices participated — David Moscovitz, Martin Wasserman. Wolfe Goodman. Leonard Fine, Joe Casse and Earl Miller. .Among the other lawyers whocame to help out were Bill Mandel, Bernard Scherer, Sam Schwartz, Don Greenbaum, Bob Hall and David Grader.

TORONTO —
Pass-ersby strolling down Beverley Street on severai.evenjngs last week may have thought that the University of Toronto had moved its campus, a few blocks south.
They would have been \ mistaken in that assumption. What was actually going on was, a series of evening telethons at 150 Beverley Street, which attracted a core group of 25
. U of T students. They tboJt over the phones for several hours after 6 p.m. on five separate evenings, to solicit United Jewish Appeal contributionis from fellow students.
If_ Julea Resnick. a second-year student and one of the organizers of the U. of T campaign is tackling the job with unusual en-thusiasin, thiere is a good reason behind it-. She was one of four Canadians who participated in the UJA student mission to Israel last month, and had a unique opportuni^ to see just where and how the fiiinds raiised in the cam-:
paign are spent. The stu-'dent mission is organized under the auspices of UJA in New' York, and each year tiakes 125 students frorh universities across the United States'bn a factfinding tour of Israel.
"I had been to Israel on my own before the mission^' Julea remarked, "but I certainly wasn't able To get to rnany of the places we saw as members of a UJA mission — an army base on the Golan Heights, a special tour of slum areas in Jerusalem, new settlements in Gaza — these are places not usually accessible to the tourist." ' ■ ■: .
Asked about any differences in fund-raising efforts betweien Canadian^ and U.S. students, Julea replied: "There is no difference. We basically do the same thiiigs — run telethons and letter campaigns;''
She did learn, however, that on a per capita basis, TorontQ students raise more money. "I was surprised to find that univer-:
sities in California arid New York, where they have very large Jewish : student enrolments, raiise less than we do." The U of T campaign last vear raised $15,000, a record they: will try to top in 1978, : Getting back to this year's campaign, Ms. Resnick' said the results
from last week's telethon are running highier than last year. A mailing. is about to go out to 500 students whose names have not been previously recorded. Arid for the first time, a separate campaign is planned, for students at Scarbbrbugh College.

TORONTO —
Edith Levy is a native Montrealer. Her maternal grandparents emigrated to Quebec in the 1890s and lived out their lives in the province. She is deeply concerned — as one who spent her formative years in Montreal, as a Cana-" dian and as a Jew — about the future of her country.
It is therefore fitting that as chairman of the 1978 Conference of Women, the topic she and her committee of 15 women have decided to focus on is national unity.
The conference is an annual undertaking of the Federation of Jewish Wo-men's Organizations, which represents more than 50 organizations and sisterhoods in Toronto. The FJWO, which operates under the auspices of Toronto Jewish Congress, has strived in each of its past conferences to highlight current issues of vital concern to women.
The upcoming conference which takes place on Tuesday, March 7 at Beth T,;edec Synagogue, goes a step further this year with a subject that affects the future of all Canadians..
The day-long program, entitled 0 Canadal, will feature as the keynote speaker, Mme. Solange Chaput-Roliand, author and member of the Task Force on Canadian Unity. Participants in the morning dialogue include Mel
Hurtig. founding member of the Committee for an Independent Canada; Ms. Beverley Smith, former liaison officer to Rene Le-vesque. and Peter True-man, news anchorman for Global TV.
Mrs. Levy and her committee began to devise the format for the conference back in June. "It's the first time in my experience that a committee came to a unanimous decision on a topic so quickly," she commented in an interview. "The concern for Canada's future was foremost in all our minds. We tend to'take what we have for granted until we are threatened. What is happening in Quebec affects each one of us and I believe it is essential that we know as much as possible about what is going on. We just can't sit back and allow this country to fall apart through apathy."
Once the theme of Canadian unity was agreed on, Mrs. Levy had, very specific ideas as to who should participate in the program.
"I can't believe how
