nical advances is the evidence
of a continuing desire to pro-
vide, both in form and in con-
tent, an Anglo-Jewish paper
which performs a unique serv-
ice in the community."
Mayor Jeffries' statement, on
the occasion of The Chronicle's
appearance in new dress and in
new style, also takes occasion to
greet the Jews of Detroit. The
Mayor writes:
"I deem it a privilege on
this occasion to extend my
friendly greetings to the Jewish
people of our city.
"I also want to take this
op p o r t unit y to congratulate
you on the inestimable value
your paper has been in the de-
velopment of our community
and to wish you continued suc-
cess."
Senator Vandenberg writes:
"I congratulate you upon
the 'new dress' of The Detroit
Jewish Chronicle. The style
and format are excellent and
moat attractive. You have a
splendid publication which
serves a highly important ob-
jective, and I wish you contin-
ued success in connection with
your sturdy enterprise."
The following message was re-
ceived from Malcolm W. Bingay,
editorial director of the Detroit
Free Press:
THE DETROIT FREE PRESS,
Office of the Editorial Director.

Mr. Philip Slomovitz, Editor,
The Detroit Jewish Chronicle,
Detroit, Mich.
Permit me, as one who first
guided your e a g er footsteps
int o the 'paths of journalism, to
congratulate you on the splen
did change you have made in
the Chronicle format. You have
done a fine job and I am proud
to proclaim to the world that
you are one of the hardest
working and most intelligent of
all the many young men who
have served under me.
The flowering of your well
developed abilities is revealed
in your new publication.
With warm personal regards,
I remain
Cordially yours,
MALCOLM W. BINGAY
Congressman John D. Dingell
sent The Chronicle the following
telegram of greetings:
"Congratulations upon the im-
proved appearance of your splen-
did weekly. I consider The Chron-
icle among the foremost news-
papers in the state of Michigan
as regards journalistic appeal,
editorial policy and typographical
perfection. Your influence in the
community, always the most im-
portant and powerful factor for
good, has been recognized. The
change in type face and style,
together with the book paper
used, will enhance the popularity
of your paper. I am pleased to
commend you for the improve-
ment and to express my contin-
ued good wishes."
Congressman Clarence J. Mc-
Leod, Judge Charles Rubiner and
other leaders are among those
who greeted the Chronicle. Their
messages follow:
Mrs. Douglas Brown: "Reading
the Chronicle has always been a
pleasUre, but now in its new
format and on the shiny paper
it's a real treat. Let me compli-
ment you on the splendid set-up
as well as the material that
makes the paper an outstanding
one."

cause of its size, and constant
usage, it was found difficult it,
keep it 'intact' for more than
three or four days. Your ne ci
Chronicle is easy to handle,
eas:,
on the eyes, more appealing and
attractive and its fine grade of
paper will most likely outlast your
previous publication in the long
run. Your idea of including mote
articles, news items and features
is a very good one. At a time
when general local newspapers
are practically maintaining silent
stand on conditions of our p•o-
ple in other parts of the world,
the Jewish press should do all
that is humanly possible in the
way of enlightening the Ameri-
can public concerning the plight of
Jews everywhere no matter how
they are faring. Only an inform-
ed community is an active com-
munity. So far, you have been
doing a splendid job! More power
and more success to you and
much more co-operation from the
Detroit Jewish community in your
new venture."
Mrs. J. Barnett: "I like the
new form of The Chronicle very
much. Not only is it easier to
handle and to read, but it is
much easier to find among my
other papers."
Lewis DeYoung, Miami Beach,
Fla., former Detroit Advertising
Man: "Congratulations upon new
format. I think it is great. Your
readers are fortunate to have
publishers who give so much for
so little. When you get far from
home you appreciate the differ-
ence by comparison."
Dr. Robert Rosen: "May I con-
gratulate you on the new dress
that you have given the Detroit
Jewish Chronicle. In its new garb
it is more easily handled and
gives new zest and vitality. You
are to be congratulated upon
your progressiveness and I wish
you all the success you so richly
deserve."
