RED CROSS UNIT FOR JEWISH
WOMEN BEING FORMED. •
Mrs. Henry Fechimer of 24 Row-
ena street is organizing a class of
Jewish women to function as a local
unit of the American Red Cross. This
unit will be one of the many now be-
ing formed in every section of tlie
city representing every element in
Detroit. It has been found more de-
sirable to have women work together
for the Red Cross under congenial
circumstances. More efficient work
can be accomplished by utilizing or-
ganizations of women now in exis-
tence, or forming units of women who
have personal interests in common.
The executive committee of the
Detroit chapter has issued a call for
the formation of such work units. It
is signed by J. B. Schlotnian, Mrs.
Russell A. Alger, Jr., and Mrs. Frank
Robinson. The appeal states that the
demands for hospital garments and
surgical dressings are coming in mil-
lion-fold, and it is urgent that a series
of work rooms be established in all
parts of the city, so every woman
will have a place near her home to
work, or among her own circle of
friends.
Mrs. Fechimer believes that the
Jewish women of Detroit will re-
spond to this humanitarian call for
service in such numbers that . it will
be necessary to form several units. A
meeting will be held at her home on
Friday, September 28, at which all de-
tails will be explained and plans made
for an immediate program of work.
Every Jewish woman in Detroit is
urged to at least keep herself in-
formed on this necessary work and
if at all possible to take an active
part in it.
The Bicur Cholera Jrs. held their an-
nual election of officers at their regu-
lar meeting Thursday, September 20th,
1917, at the Knights of Pythias Hall.
The following were elected unanimous-
ly:
President—Manuel M. Rosenthal,
Vice President—Sadie Schubot.
Recording Secretary—Attila Shapero.
Financial Secretary—Joe Miller.
Treasurer—Maurice Harris.
Sergeant-at-Arms—David Berger and
Harry Satovsky.
A vote of thanks was extended to
the retiring officers, a special mention
being made of Mrs. Anna Weinbeck,
who has been president since the or-
ganization of the club. Too much praise
cannot be given her for her good work
in promoting the interests of the so-
ciety.
The purpose of this club is both chari-
table aml social, to benefit the needy
sick, and also bring the young Jewish
people together.
The next meeting will he a club dance
for members and their friends to get
better acquainted. The public is also
invited. Every member of the organi-
zation and their friends are expected to
attend the dance, which takes place on
Thursday, October 4th. 1917. at the club
rooms. A musical program will also be
included.
