Eugene A. Klein
Editor, The Detroit Jewish Chronicle:
I deem it a privilege to express through the col-
umns of your paper my greeting to the Jewish
people of our city on the occasion of Rosh Hasho-
nah, and I wish to thank you for this opportunity.
It is my understanding that on Rosh Hashonah
the Jewish people rededicate themselves to those
ideals which have been of inestimable value to the
development of civilization. This is a custom which
we all might well emulate.
My kindest regards and best wishes for a Happy
New Year.
Sincerely yours,
Richard W. Reading,
Mayor.
