Death removes pioneers
By LEAH KLEIMAN
TORONTO-
To be poor, Jewish and female is almost an anachronism in today's society. While attending this falls ix)und of new store openings, feisbion shows, film press parties, CBC previews and such affairs, i was suddenly overwhelmed with memories of a mean and chaotic child-' hood. There was no urge to re-write, to romanticize, or to soften the experience. It was there - vivid, unadulterated and still hurting.
The poor, Jewish, female experience means:
Controlling your anger while your teacher tells you that Jewish people have such a knack for making money, viale you know that your father gets up at 6:00 a.m.. to go to work in a ladies' coat factory for $45 a week.
Having to wear an overly tight dress to school everyday in order to wear out the "good dress" your mother bought you for going out, after you discovered that you had outgrown it.
Living behind the store that your mother managed and having boarders on the second floor and always having to wait in line for the one bathroom.
Having yourdogdieandnot being able to afford to buy another one.
Spending hours looking at the fashion magazines in the drug store to see how the other half of the world dressed.
Being told stories about the poor life in the shtetles of Poland and the good life in the Spadina Avenue ghetto.
Never having a bicycle or roller skates because there was no place to go. ("So what do you need it for?)
Spending Saturday afternoons alone in the Victory Theatre watf^h!Ogthi-eo mov
vo:xsd and .af^av^briril'-.-i!'^-
.eke
Being shocked when you realized that people who lived in houses had front lawns of grass while you only had gray pavement. Spending the whole sum-
mer in the city, except for one week with. your parents in a small, rented cottage in Pontypool with flypaper hanging from the ceiling and an outdoor toilet.
Realizing that not everybody wore strings with housekeys around their hecks.
One day, the nostalgia writers will cover over the
pain, and lower Spadina Avenue, like the lower East Side, and the shtetl will become the material for a prancing, musical. Let them sing. 1 still haven't stopped crying.
^JA raises sights for 1973 campaign
NEW YORK -
North American Jewry will have to raise $630 million in 1973 through the United Jewish Appeal for .Israel and local needs, according to Max M. Fisher, president of the Councilof Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds.
Speaking at a meeting of the GJF's board of directors, Fisher said $505 million is required for Israel and $125 million is "the local pricetag.''
Canadian Jewish communities are expected to raise .over $30 million.
Last year. North American communities raised $390 million - a record amount. Fisher reported, "but not enough, to alleviate the suffering of thousands of Jews all over the world."
Fisher, who is also chairman of the board of governors of the Jewish Agency, said the agency's budget for 1973 calls for expenditures totalling $785 million to provide for Israel's immigration, absorption, housing and other urgent needs.
At least another 75,000 immigrants are expected next year, he said. Most will be coming from Soviet Russia, Morocco and Argentina.
Some of the costs budgeted for social needs were listed as follows: housing, $284 million; welfare payments, $74 miliio:-: h- .n.Uh $85 miil'.o*? •: ■•rlveou- s'aor,.
