Amendment Robs Jews Of Solon, Charge By DAVID KIRKIIENBLATT Jpwlsh Post C'orrt'sponilpnt QUEBEC, Que.—The National Union government last Friday evening rushed through an electoral amendment in the Quebec legislature, which liberal members had charged would take away representation of the Jewish minority in the provincial house. Throughout the debate on the proposed amendment, which divides one county into two distinct parts, Charlevoix and Saguenay, and which also increases the predominant Jewish ward of Montreal St. Louis by an additional 30,000 mostly French Canadian voters, a heated exchange of words took place between the government and opposition, each accusing one another of raising a racial question. St. Louis ward, traditional Jewish stronghold, which contains some 42,000 voters, will now contain an additional 30,000 voters, who are practically all French Canadian. The present member of St. Louis, Maurice Kart, K. C., charged that the 20,000 Jewish votes in the new w'ard "will be drowned by 50,000 French Canadians,” while the liberal leader, Hon. Adelard Godbout said that the amendment was "personal vengeance in order to attain a political advantage” on the part of the present government.

NEW YORK—The story of two individual $50,000 gifts to local welfare fund campaigns, and increases in community giving as high as 100 per cent, is told in the first issue of "Campaign Cues” published by the Council of Jewish Welfare Funds and Federations. The two large gifts both were netted by San Francisco. Another record of some sort was set by Fort Wayne, Ind., which community of 200-odd families oversubscribed its last year’s total of $68,000 with $70,000 at the very start, and will reach $100,000 if the remaining givers only repeat last year’s contributions. Opening night at Hartford, Conn., found $418,000 in the coffers in that city’s drive, only $86,000 short of its $504,000 goal, and only $1,000 short of the entire amount raised in 1944.
