1947-06-17—Esther Moorsteen, "For Your
Entertainment," Southwestern Jewish Press, pages 6, 8:...We have a
few young thespians within our own circle, who seem to be doing all right for
themselves. Donald Solomon, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lew Solomon, was in the cast of
"My Sister Eileen" with the Footlights Theatre, which just played for
three nights at the Roosevelt Auditorium...Herbert, the Solomon's elder son, is
the one who usually shines in these plays...Good for you, Donald....

April 28, 1950—1) "$100,000 Mark for United Jewish
Fund Reached in April," Southwestern Jewish Press, pages 1, 14: In
the first two weeks of the campaign to "Keep the Miracle Alive," one
third of the $283,000 has been secured, reported Murray D. Goodrich and
Nathaniel Ratner, General Campaign Co-Chairman. Over $95,000 had been
raised by April 24th, two weeks from the start of the campaign, from less than
400 subscribers, according to the report which was given at a workers meeting
held last week. The chairmen were convinced that they would reach the first step
of their goal, which was to have over $100,000 by April 30th. "On all
fronts the campaign is moving forward in a very satisfactory and enthusiastic
fashion," Goodrich and Ratner said. They pointed to the outstanding work of
Elmer Glaser of Oceanside, who at the last meeting reported over a 100 percent
increase with $1800 collected to date, as compared to $890 in the entire 1949
campaign. Arthur L. Cohen, Chairman of the Coronado Campaign, showed not
only increased contributions, but much wider coverage. William Schwartz and
Jerome Freedman, Chairmen of the el Cajon, La Mesa and Grossmont District,
reported an almost completed job, showing no cuts and several increases .In the Women's Division report, presented by Selma Getz,
$12,500
had been secured from 30 women at an advanced gift luncheon held last week, and
addressed by Ida Nasatir. As we go to press, we do not have the results of the
large Women's Division Luncheon held yesterday at the El Cortez Hotel, but every
indication points to the fact that it will exceed last years Women's Division
effort. Religious School Children of Temple Beth Israel and Tifereth
Israel sparked the opening of the Young People's Division of the United Jewish
Fund last week. The boys and girls of Beth Israel presented a check for $242.56
to Mrs. Arthur Goodman, Co-chairman of the Young People's Division and Herbert
Solomon, in which all religious school collections were contributed to
"Keep the Miracle Alive." Tifereth Irael Youngsters pledged $150
of their Ts'dakah funds for the 1950 drive, both contributions exceeded thier
1949 gifts. According to Mrs. Goodman, Dave Anfanger and Dick Silberman,
Co-chairmen of the Young People's Division of the campaign, as far as the Youths
of San Diego are concerned, the drive has just begun to roll. Mrs. Goodman
reported a most successful luncheon for young women held last Saturday. On the
same evening, the opening gun of the Young People's Division was fired with a
dinner dance attended by over 100, and addressed by Ernst Michel, young emigre,
who told of the needs of the United Jewish Appeal. As a pre-campaign
meeting for the Young People's Division, a Sports Night was held under the
leadership of Dave Anfanger, for Junior High School boys, some 50 youngster made
their contribution at that meeting. Scout Troops 99 and 15 participated.
Norman Holtzman, Al Davidson, Mitzi Schiller, Herb Solomon, Ben Press,
Joan Steinman, Sid Stokes, Sylvia Winicki, Fran Winicki, Howard Esterson, Joe
Yaffee and LeeWinicki are active leaders in the Young People's Division, which
on the opening day raised almost $2,000. The Christian Committee under the
leadership of Charles Davies, chairman; Bishop Buddy and Dr. Thomas Coyle,
co-chairmen, reported that they had secured $5,461 from Christian gifts in San
Diego and that they are anticipating many additional gifts. Goodrich and
Ratner urge every man, woman and child in San Diego to become a giver.
Work on the Magic Carpet but if you cannot be a modern magician stay at home and
make your contribution to the miracle worker who calls on you on Sunday April
30th.
