Mr. Asch said of the Joint Distri-

This Sunday, May 2, marks the
official 1937 opening of the Knoll-
wood course. Everything is in
readiness to usher in the season
and all club acommodations and
conveniences are now available.
•
Knollwood's golf pro Herman
Feibig's first pupil of the season
was "Prexy" James Ellmann,
who took a lesson last Sunday.
As a golfer, Jim snakes an ex-
cellent president.
•
The official club opening coin-
cides with the opening of the Allied
Jewish Campaign. This column
cannot urge too strongly upon
Knollwood's members to make their
contributions as generous as pos-
sible.
•
At a meeting of the gift com-
mittee of the Knollwood Women's
Association held at the home of
the chairman, Mrs. Harry Clark,
last Monday, the following were
appointed to assist Mrs. Clark on
her committee: Mrs. Saul David-
son, Mrs. Sam Grenadier, Mrs.
Harry Grad, Mrs. Sam Lucas, Mrs.
Max Rosenbaum and Mrs. Alex
Goldberg.

Members are invited to send in
their opinions of Knollwood's
"look-alikes" to this column,

•
A new Innovation in dress for
Knollwood's caddies will be inau-
gurated this season. The caddies
will wear red i...,iformed caps with
the initial "K" on the peak, so that
they will be easily identified and
can be given a lift by Knollwood
members en route to the club. An
orchid to the caddie committee for
this excellent thought.

Members are requested to send
in their news items for this column
in care of The Detroit Jewish
Chronicle, or to place their notes
in special news boxes being erected
at the club.
