own, have adapted themselves to the political lives of the coun•
tries of their adoption, often taking major part in shaping na-
tional destinies yet tenaciously p ing their own traditions
and racial characteristics. It is fortunate that in the past few
years of economic and political reconstruction we have been
able to draw from their storehouse s of experience."

Le Shono Tovo Tikosevu

The good wishes of Mayor Frank Couzens are con-
tained in the following statement:

The United Dairies life.

Permit me to thank you for the opportunity which you have
afforded, through the columns of your paper, to convey this
message of greetings to the Jewish citizens of Detroit on the
occasion of the solemn celebration of Rosh H•shonah.
An outstanding characteristic of your truly great people is
the dries. with which they hold the family relation. The
Jewish people, the first race in the world, have maintained their
reverence for their elders and obedience to the simple tenets of
their faith.

Wish the Jewish People of Detroit

A Happy and Prosperous New Year

As Chief Executive of Detroit, I express my warm appreci••
Lion of the part the Jewish people have played, not only in the
world and in the nation, but in the community over which I hap-
pen to preside.

With these sincere thoughts in mind, I express to the Jewish
people my hearty wishes for • very Happy New Year.

"Rosh H•shonah, the Jewish New Year, affords a most
appropriate occasion to recall the numberless contributions of the
Jewish race to the progress of humanity.
"From the distant past of bygone centuries down to the

present day, the history of the Jewish race is one of constant
and continuing contribution toward the enrichment and develop.
meat of the spiritual and cultural life of manknd.
"In the celebration of the Jewish New Year 5694, I wish to
extend my most cordial good wishes to all my friends an fellow
citizens among the Jews of Michigan."

The determination of what ac-
tivities justify community support
should he made in a more repre-
sentative fashion so that donors
(present and would-be-ones) would
hare a light to feel they are exer-
cising some direct influence on the
result. This would be apt to make
them noire keenly alert of results.
Contributing dollars and cents?
Yes. But more important an aware-
ness that they are participating in
sensitive, human problems through
chosen representatives. The psy-
chology needed is one which in-
volves pride of giving generously1
and methdically.
Thus would we reduce the con-
stant reverberations why one need
rather than another is preferred in
the welfare chest.

groups, societies, and lodges, con-
stantly exhaust the generous im-
pulses of the community through
minor demands, draining it of reac-
tions for major concern,. This

fair basis.
Then, to personal public at-
tacks upon so-called ungenerous
donors is in bad taste, hurts more
than it helps. The representative
"committee" could help evolve a
better technique of meeting issues
of this kind. Also, it would deter-
mine what functions should have
community approval; what funds
will meet reasonable wants; and
upon what long range basis of com-
munity support each of us should
under-write such support, to avoid
recurrent, spectacular, and costly
efforte; and the development of a

tee to discuss with donors on a
strictly confidential basis the pro-
posed share of eommunal responsi-
bility each might Fear in propor-
tion to the total requirements.

SHERIFF

Wayne County Needs Him

He gave Wayne County its most effi-
cient and modern law enforcement. He
cleaned it of commercialized gambling
and syndicate slot machines; murderers,
gangsters, blackmailers and kidnapers.
He gave it its first highway patrol; its
first metropolitan police; its first radio-
equipped cars; its jail; the most humane
administration in history.
