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.
