TORONTO -
Making a success of something that isn't ea^ is the t3frpe pf exciting diallenge that Wilfred Pbsluns enjoys.
Posluns. 1976 campaign chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, says he has heard talk t h a t because of Canada's economic problems the next campaign may be a difiGcult one. But. he says, "maybe that's why I am looking forward to this campaign. If1976 is to be a year of challenge for us ' then I look forward to the challenge. Part of the excitement of doing this job is the challenge of succeeding in a difficult situation." '
Speaking at the annual evaluation meeting of the UJA, attended by campaign leadership. Pbsluns said the goal for 1976 should be much, much. more than the amount ~ raised in 1975. (The 1975 total will be about S19 million). "No matter how weak the economy may be just now," he declared, "it hasn't affected the
Wilfred Poshins
giving capabilities of our community. We raised S26 million in 1974 and we'll raise $19 mUlion in 1975. Even if we raised double these amounts, nobody would have suffered. Nobody wUl suffer in 1976 if they give more. The money is here."
Posluns said he has no set formula for a successful campfugn. "As seasoned campaigners, we will have to develop new ideas and new techniques for fond-raising. The UJA has had great success in the
past. Xet's build on th^ success and reach up high —far beyond the tried and true technique. Let's use every ounce of imagination to come lip with new ideas."
Posluns said everything possible should be done "to find those members of the community who have deliberately lost themselves to avoid meeting their responsibilities. Let's find them and get them aroimd to our point of view."
He hoped that the enthusiasm of the leadership for the accomplishments of the UJA would be infectious. "We can do this," he said, "by giving the proper inspiration to our group chairmen and canvassers and to the people we solicit for funds. When we show that we truly believe in what we are doing and when we convince others that what we are doing is right and essential to the survival of the Jewish people, then we will succeed."
Posluns feels that Jews today are making history
and they will be judged in the foture either by their accomplishments of failures. "WefaUedthe Jews of Europe during the Hitier terror/' he said. "We can't take any mor« chances. We know very well what our enemies are planning for us now. We know die Arabs want to destroy Israel and if. God fort>id. they succeed. Aen we are d^troyed forever as a people."
"Will we be branched 100 years from now as Jews who didn't care...as Jews who preferred our own personal comforts and let Israel and the Jewish people be destroyed?" he asked. "Or will we go down in histoty as the people who did pur share in rebuilding the Jewish nation, despite all obstacles?"
In an Interview prior to the evaluation meeting, Posluns told Hie CJN that service to the Jewish community and to tiie Jewish people has long been a tradition, in the Posluns family. His father, Lou. and his uncles

HAMILTON —
Bccausefour friends sat idly chatting over coffee one day. the' Association for the Welfare of Soldiers in Israel received $2,300. Irving Matlow, co-chairman, of- the association, and Mrs. Matlow, of Toronto, were presented with the cheque at a ceremony as informal as the start of the project.
Morris Lax. Gideon Tankus. Gary Frydman and Jack Rosen wondered what they could do to raise money for Israel and with Yom Ha'atzmaut coming up. decided to plan a combined celebration and', fund-raising event.
Unable to attend the official community-wide
celebration, hosted by Adas Israel synagogue this year, but anxious to celebrate the occasion in style, they formed a committee, organized a dinner dance, collected donations and: sold approximately 200 tickets — all within three weeks. Highlight of the event was an auction of gifts donated by local businessmen and conducted by Norman Levitt. Yom Ha'atzmaut chairman the two previous years.
Accepting the cheque. Matlow praised the gtoup; and told them "that it is again proof of what just a few people can do if they set their hearts and minds to it." It was fitting, he said, that the money should go to the associa-
tion "because without the soldiers protecting Israel, there wouldn't be too many Yom Ha'atzmaut."
Calling themselves The Friends of Israel, the group raised sufficient money to endow or furnish a room in the new 72-bedroom rest and re-
creation centre for soldiers the A. W.S.I, is building in-Bcersheba. The Canadian branch of the organization. Matlow explained, has been much more active in Toronto and surrounding communities since the Yom Kippur War and has undertaken to
build one wing with 24 bedrooms and a dispensary of the Beersheba centre. The official opening and dedication takes place Nov. 4.
A plaque in recognition of the Friends' of Israel gift is on display at Adas Israel synagogue.
