THE OLD CRY "Women are people too** is greatly evident during the Combined Jewish Appeal Drive.
The Women's Division of the United Jewish Appeal may have initiaUy started with the idea of token or plus giving, but we ourselves soon realized that being a part of a life-saving, life-giving force, through UJA, was as much our responsibility as anyone's.

complex, so does the role of the 'garden variety' housewife. In the Jewish tradition, it is said that the^hildren learn at the mother's knee, and what better way of absorbing tradition, love, responsibility and Hzedaka' than from mother to child.
The example set in the home is certainly one carried before the child forever.
The family that becomes a participating member of a group that cares for its own, is usually concerned enough, informed enough and motivated enough to be involved in all aspects of their community, and generally better citizens of the country in which they live, because they care.
THE WOMEN'S DIVISION UJA was initiated in Vancouver in 1949 by Edith Lando. As we grew in numbers and acconiplisl|ments, Shirley Kaplan, just finishing her second go-round as a UJA chairman, felt it was time for us to create a co-ordinating body that would hold us together between campaigns.
Under her leadership and the. participation of most of the past UJA chairmen, a Board of the Women's Division UJA was formed in 1972 with Shirley Kaplan as first chairman, from 1972 to 1974. Evelyn Toban.followed as chairman in 1974-1976.
In 1974; the Women's Division spearheaded another breakthrough in the community. Under chairmanship of Naomi Frahken-burg, the women of this community accepted the responsibility of including, under the auspices of UJA, a seperate campaign in support Of local needs in conjunction with the Vancouver Jewish Community Fund and Council. This was a responsibility women in the community had not assumed before.
AS A FURTHER testimonial to the success of thie Women's Divisions across Canada, in their appointed tasks of launching UJA drives, aNational Women's United Israel Appeal organization was founded in 1973, with head offices in Montreal.
The marvelous advantage of this national organization is the^feeling of oneness it generates across the country. We have been able to organize national and regional meetings where ideas and leaderships are shared and exchanged.
Speakers are co-ordinated across the country and each of us knows we are a part of a whole — all working for the same purposes, goals and dreams that we of Vancouver hold so dear — tfie safety and welfare of our fellow Jews, wherever they may dwell.

BEVERLY HILLS, CALIF. ^
"The Hebrew University will now stand as the centre of Freud's thinking. In some mystical sense, Sigmund Freud has come home at last."
The words are those of Dr. Charles Ansell of Encino, Calif.,' a clinical psychologist deeply involved in creating the Sigmund Freud Chair of Psychoanalysis at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Freud was a member of the first Board of Governors of the university.
Freud, who was forever interr ested in tracing his Jewish lineage
as far back as possible, was chagrined when he could not attend the historic opening of theuhiver-sity on Mount Scopus in the spring of 1925, Ansell noted.
Illness kept him frbm being present on the day that Lord Balfour stood in the ampitheatre overlooking the holy city ancjloffi-cailly proclaimed the Hebrew University as the university of the Jewish people.
However, Frieud sent the following message for the occasion:^
"A university is a placein which knowledge is taught about all differences  of  religions  and of

programs and there appears to be no single agency responsible for creating such programs, according to a report compiled by the Jewish communal affairs commission of the Chicago chapter of the American Jewish Committee. ^
The report was presented by Howard A. Gilbert, chairman of the Chicago chapter, who summarized it as indicating that adult* Jewish education in Chicago is the "step-child" of Jewish-education in the city and "a veritable desert."
Gilbert commented: "How can we hope to educate our young people more effectively if the parents and other adults with whom the youngsters come in contact have little or no Jewish' education themselves."
nations. Such an undertaking is a noble witness to the development to which our people has forced its way in 2,000 years of unhappy fortune."
Dr. Martin Wangh of New York, international chairman of the Sigmund Freud Chair committee, pointed out that "Such a Chair at the Hebrew University had long been one of Freud's cherished dreams. When, in 1933, Hitler's bookburning foreshadowed the end of frets science and art in Europe and the ultimate destruction of Eurc^ean Jewry, Freud explicitly asked that a Chair of psychoanalysis be established at what he warmly called 'our university.'"
This Chair, which is to have the broadest humanistic appeal, will become a centre for the interchange of psychoanalysis thinking with medicine, the other social sciences, the ai:ts and every study that touches the understanding of man.
