Rabbi Franklin Addresses Meeting
Mr. Alexander was followed by
;Rabbi 'Leo M. Franklin, who spoke
! enthusiastically upon the work of
the Young People's Society and the
work it was doing to acquaint the
newcomers with the Jewish people
of Detroit.
"There is no other city in Amer-
Ica," said Rabbi Franklin, "with
the possible exception of the great
,.American metropolis, that could
witness such a meeting as this. The
thousands of young men and
women who have come to Detroit
are of the best type. They are
men and women who, because they
had the courage to answer the call
of Opportunity, have made this the
city of their home."
Dr. Franklin then referred to the
place that the Young People's So-
ciety was filling in the lives of its
members and referred briefly to

by Seymour Simons, Abraham Gor-

to be far above the usual amateur
standard.
By far the greater part of the
two thousand seats have already
been sold, while reservations for
