Congregations to Elect Delegates for Michigan
Synagogue Conference; Annual Conven-
tion in Flint on May 11

Heads of Detroit and out-state
Michigan congregations have been
requested by the Michigan Syn-
agogue Conference to name dele-
gates to its annual convention on
Sunday, May 11, at the Jewish
Community Center, 735 McFarlan
St., Flint. These conventions are
held twice a year, but officers and
members of the board of directors
for the conference are elected
annually at the spring meeting.
Each synagogue is to be repre-
sented at the convention, May 11,
by officially elected or appointed
delegates, in addition to its spirit-
ual leader. Every congregation

is entitled to a minimum of two
lay delegates. If there are more
than 25 members, three repre-
sentatives are chosen, more than
50—four, and over 75—five. No
synagogue may have more than
five lay representatives.
A similar procedure is to be
followed in the selection of wo-
men delegates from Sisterhoods

of the policy, of course receives full benefits.

Late Rabbi Miller's
2 Books Available
Free of Charge

The late Rabbi David Miller's
two books—"The Secret of Hap-
piness" and "The Secret of the
Jews"—are available free of
charge from a committee that
has been formed under the name
Committee of Rabbi David Miller
Foundation, with offices at 302
E. 14th St., New York.
These books are not for sale
and are not commercialized. They
were written in English "for the
purpose of promoting the cause
of true historic Judaism."
The two fundamental princi-
ples of the two books are Sab-
bath observance and family pur-
ity. Anyone desiring these books
is asked to write the committee
and the only charge for them is
the cost of postage.
A preface to "The Secret of
the Jew" was written by the late
Dr. Bernard Revel, and the fore-
word to this book was written
by Dr. C. H. Hillel Kauvar of
Denver. The foreword to "The
Secret of Happiness" was writ-
ten by Dr. Bernard Drachman.
