Maurice H. Zackheim Makes Presentation of Hebrew Pub-

Kay Discuss Palestine's Economic Possibilities.

A representative gathering of
Detroit Zionists turned out on
Feb. 28 to honor Joseph It. Ehr-
lich for his services to the Zion-
ist cause, at a meeting of the Zion-
ist District of Detroit, at the Phil-
adelphia-Byron Talmud Torah.
Mr. Ehrlich was presented with
a complete set of the Ilehrew pub-
lications of the Heir Publishing
Company of Palestine. Maurice
H. Zackheim, in presenting Mr.
Ehrlich with the 80 books, lauded
the former president of the United
Palestine Appeal and the former
chairman of the Zionist District
for his devotion to the Zionist
cause. Mr. Zackheim outlined the
different changes in the movement
from the purely idealistic and cul-
tural efforts to the present practi-
cal works, and pointed out that
tooth culture and practical methods
are combined in the modern efforts
for the movement.
Mr. Ehrlich Reminisce..
Mr. Ehrlich, in his response,
took occasion to relate some of his
reminiscences on his Zionist ac-
tivities. He drew: a picture of
Zionist efforts in which he partic-
ipated in the past quarter of a
century. Ile described his first
interests and his work for Zion-
ism in Milwaukee and Chicago,
and then revelwed the activities in
Detroit, with the formation of the
Kadirnah, Yavneh and other soci-
ties which preceded the present
District plan.

Mr. Kay, in his address, first ex-
