Abe Wosk hopes to avoid buiSding fund drive for new Jewish Home for
The hope that it may be possible to build a new Jewish Home for the Aged in Vancouver without conducting a public campaign for building funds was expressed last Sunday by Abe Wosk, newly-installed president of the Home.
Speaking at the installation banquet at Schara Tzedeck,.Mr. Wosk disclosed two reasons for delaying the start in the building of the new Home. One is the hope that it will be possible to attain a large sum of money from an estate which will make a building (campaign unnecessary. The other is the belief that the lot purchased by the outgoing executive and the plans previously developed for the new Home were inadequate to meet the required need. Mr. Wosk is determined to obtain the funds from the estate as well as to develop a uew set of plans for a Home which wil meet the needs of the community as he sees them.
MOP^EY FROM AN ESTATE
'The estate referred to is the Brier Estate which has in it a large sum o -money available for a Jewish institution such as a Home for the Aged, providing it is established with a non-sectarian clause in its constitution. Considerable   objection   has been, raised in the past by the members o: the Jewish Home for the Aged to the idea of accepting the money on a non-sectarian basis. Mr. Wosk expressed the hope tha

there was a 99 percent chance of get ting the money without the non-sectarian strings attached. He indicated, however, that in his opinion if it was not possible to get. the money widiout the non-sectarian clause, then it should still be taken and the non-sectarian clai^e included. He indicated further that the non-sectarian clause w;ould not prevent the operation of the Home in strict accord with Jewish religious law. He expressed the view that un-dei" these circumstances there was only the very slightest chince that any non-Jewish people might be interested in becoming residents of such a Jewish Home. ^
Citing 4iis experience iri Buenos Aires Whereihe recently visited a large Jewish hosj^ital operated on vai non-sectarian basis, Mr. Wosk st^d that out of a total of 3,000 beds,.t^ere were less than a handful of non-Jewish patients in the hospital.
He lire-iterated his intkifion of
tMn tfte ino^ die non-
sectariaii dinise.^^^ he also eln-phasized his belief that i^ all efforts to obtain tb.e money in fliis way failed, Oien tiie nom-sectarian clause should be fTcic^fed.
PLAN TO "SELL ROOMS'* , Mr. Wosk also announced that several peojple had recently approached him with offers to ("buy" rooms in the new Home. He expressed the opinion that instead of a public campaign, rooms could be "sold" at $1,000 each, with every purchasor entitled to place a plaque in the room dedicated in the name of his family. "
In regard to the construction of the new Home, Mr. Wosk expressed the view that this should not be started until sufficient funds were available. He said that the $25,000 to $30,000 whichi the Home now has available is insufficient to start building a $250, 000 home.
Turning to the problem of opiating a Home for "the' Aged, Mr. Wosk es^ressed die view that thn« is really not one expert who truly knows how to^solve flie.problems of dealing with the aged. He said fliat in iOie i^reiseitf Jewi^ Home for iflii^ Aged in Vancoover, viliere they are about a dozen residents, the best pos^ble job is being done under the circumstances, but he recognized tibat it is not good enongh.
home would be sufficient for the Jewish community of Vancouver for the next 25 years. He expressed the belief that a 40-room Home would be filled in five years, b^ing himself on the idea that Vancouver's warm climate would attradt many people from Winiiipeg and other eastern centres which have a colder climate to make application for admittance to the new kome. He added that the lot now in the possession of the Home does not provide for expansion needs beyond 40 rooms. ISSUE OF Cb-OPERATION*
In an obvious reference to the ques-; tion of cooperating with other community organizations, Mr. Wosk 3aid that he "plays ball with everybody as long as they play ball with me."
In regard to the charging of fees in the Home, the president added that all Old people who cannot afford to pay will be taken in free of charge but those who come from families who do have money will be rei^uired to pay a sufficient fee even to cover some of the cost of those who cannot afford it.
Mr. Wosk appealed to the people in the commnidiy to yidt the residents of the Home k» brii^ tiiem comforts and especially to take diem but for occasional rides during die sumniier mondis. Mr. J. B. Jaffe conducted die installation of the executive of the Home and Mrs. Becky Becker installed the ladies auxiliary which is now headed by Mrs. Abe Wosk. Rabbi Bernard Goldenberg brought greetmgs to the new executive of the Home.
Referring once again to his trip to Argentina, he asked the director of the ewish Home for the Aged there how Jiey handled the problems of their Home where they house several hundred people. He was told, he said, to ook at the good things and overlook the bad things.
DISSATISFIED WITH 'REVIOUS PLANS Turning to the question of the lot purchased by the previous executive, and the plans developed for the building of a new Home, he expressed his complete dissatisfaction with both of lese.
Mr. Wosk took issue with the view of Council of Federation and Welfare Fund officials that a 40-room

Do this exercise slowly, 20 to 30 times. • Walking on toe»—rThis exercise Is not as easy as it would first appear. It should be done with the feet toeing in slightly.
