B. G. MORRIS DEAD

Jewish Frontier
Dance on Nov. 21

Mrs. Jennie Jospey
Called by Death

One of the most interesting and
pioneer Jewish personalities in
Detroit, Bernard G. Morris, Pass-
ed away last Sunday in his apart-
ment in Ilotel Statler, at the age
of 81.
Mr. Morris was born in New
York City, Dec. 25, 1885, and was
brought to Detroit by his parents
when five years old. He had a
clear recollection of the Civil
War and the assassination of Lin.
coin and, with Detroit school chil-
dren, marched in the funeral
ceremonies which were held in
America's principal cities, follow-
ing Lincoln's death. He attended
the Miami Ave. School, in the
building which is now the office
of the Board of Education on
Broadway, and later the Barstow
School. Ile was a graduate of the
old Detroit, High School, which
stood on Capitol Park.
When a small boy, Mr. Morris
began a collection of autographs
to which he made additions all his
life. It is now one of the most
comprehensive collections in the
United States and an unusually
valuable piece of Americana. The
section devoted to military and
political figures in the Civil War
is especially notable.
Ile was associated with the J.
L. Hudson Co. for more than 30
years and occupied his desk daily
until his illness confined him to
his apartment. Ile was a life
member of Union Lodge, F. and
A. H., of Peninsular chapter, R.
A. M., and had been a member
of Temple Beth El for more than
half a century. The funeral was
in the Brown Memorial Chapel of
Temple Beth, at 2 p. m. Tuesday,
with Rabbi eo M. Franklin officiat-
ing. Burial was in Woodmere
Cemetery.
Mr. Morris is survived by a
brother, Mark G. Morriss and a
son, Sidney B. Morris, both of
Detroit. Ile was the father of
Helen Henschel Morris, the well
known pianist, who died about two
years ago.

Two Orthodox Rabbis Write
Open Letter Protesting
Exclusion of Orthodox
From Executive of Com-
munity Council.

Editor, Detroit Jewish Chronicle:
It is with great embarrassment
that we have read the bet of the
newly elected members to the ex-
ecutive of the Jewish Community
Council of Detroit This was not
due to the typo or character of
the elected members, but rather
to those who in spite of their rep-
resentative position in the Jewish
community were ommitted or
overlooked. To us It appears that
the orthodox rabbis were arra
srantly snubbed. While organiza-
tions small in affluence and influ-
ence received representation on
the executive the orthodox rabbis,
the spiritual leaders of a great
orthodox community, did not de-
serve discourtesy in the eyes of
the 10 jukes of Jewish repre-
sentation—the nomination com-
mittee.
Did it not occur to the nomina-
tion committee that question of
orthodox Jewish issue may well
arise in Detroit communal life?
And even if the approach and
procedure of the Jewish Commu-
nity Council Is to be secular the
committee ahould not have taken
upon itself to ignore the spiritual
heads of the majority of this
community.
We are further disconcerted
since this la not a mere Incident
or an overtieht. The Community
Council is shaped in strict ae-
cordance with the example aet by
the Welfare Federation on whose
board the orthodox rabbinate is
taboo.
Is it not a fact that whenever
the Jewish community endeavors
to organize or to establish a new
function the orthodox rabbis are
requested to co-operate and they
do zealously respond? Not only
is this true in every communal
and national event but even at
the outset of this very Cenunu-
nitv Council the orthodox rabbis
were interviewed and thev se-
i
cor'inole informed and ntlueneed
their congreutions to co-operate
In this "Achduth" movement. But
