U. J. A. HELPED THEM SURVIVE 10 YEARS OF HITLERISM
This youngster, left homeless by
Nazi mass deportations in France,
is being nursed back to health in a
child-care center in Switzerland—
one of the hundreds of thousands
young and old, throughout the
world, to whom life-saving aid is
extended by the Joint Distribution
Committee.

These Jewish soldiers, repairing
their tank somewhere in the Mid-
dle East, are among the 50,000
fighters in the British army and de-
•tense forces of the Jewish home-
land in Palestine, which has been
converted into an important arsenal
and granary for democracy through
the reconstruction effort supported
by the United Palestine Appeal.
These United States troops arc
young refugees who are being wel-
comed to American citizenship by
their commanding officer. They are
a few of the newcomers to our
country who have been helped to
become good Americans and to do
their share for democracy by the
National Refugee Service.
These scenes show how, en the tenth anniversary of Adolf Hitler's rise to power, the United Jew-
ish Appeal for Refugees, Overseas Needs and Palestine is turning the corner to victory in the
world-wide program for rescu e and of Jewish victims of Nazism, through the efforts
of the Joint Distribution Committee, United Palestine Appeal and National Refugee Service.
Yeshivath Chachmey Lublin Reports
Work Will Begin Soon on Building

With the beginning of the new
school term, the Yeshivath Chach-
mey Lublin succeeded in opening
the high school classes in the
Yeshivath building. The high
school is operating from Monday
through Thursday from 5 to 8
p. m. The various high school
subjects are taught by Jay Bod-
zin and Norval Slobin, teachers
of the Detroit high schools.
The English classes are har-
monized with the Yeshivath
status curriculum, and the prog-
ress of the educational program
has undoubtedly increased.
A great deal of credit for the
opening of the above mentioned
classes is due to Rabbi Joshua
S. Sperka, rabbi of the Congre-
gation Bnai David.
The architectural plans for the
remodeling of the building are
already completed and the actual
work will begin very soon.
The remodeling purposes are
as follows:
(a) To make the entire third
floor suitable as sleeping quar-
ters for 75 students.
(b) To make suitable class
rooms for the various faculties.
(c) Offices and meeting rooms
to be on the second floor.
(d) To have the main floor
made fit for a synagogue, recrea-
tion hall, etc.
(e) To make the basement fit
for kitchen, storage room and
dining rooms.
The present unfavorable con-
ditions of the inner construction
of the building which was built
for entirely different purposes,
and the lack of space, is hinder-
ing the progress of the institu-
tion. Many student enrollment
applications had to be turned
down for the reason of insuffi-
cient dormitory facilities.
A large fund is heeded imme-
diately to take care of the above
mentioned remodeling program,
which must be done now without
any further postponement.
In the last few weeks a num-
ber of new members was added
to the board of directors: Isaac
August, one of the founders and
former presidents of the Mogain
Abraham Congregation for the
past 16 years; J. Shevitz, vice
President of the Congregation
Beth Tefilo Emanuel; David Gold-
berg, M. D. Smerling and Max
Kaplan.
At the last meeting of the
board of directors it was an-
nounced that contacts are being
made with various synagogues to
participate closely and to take
greater interest in the mainte-
nance of the Yeshivah. One of
the plans is that the congrega-
tions themselves should buy
looms in the Yeshivah for an
everlasting memory of the con-
gregation, officers and members.
This will be a great source of
help for the Yeshivah, and what
is more, it will bring about a
close relationship of the Yeshivah
with the various congregations.
The Ladies' Auxiliary of the
Yeshivah, which has grown with
such rapidity under the leader-
ship of its president, Mrs. D.
Silverstein, and Mrs. B. Glicks-
man, officers and members, held
an important meeting last week
when it was decided to hold a
Purim affair at the Lawrence
Hall in Jericho Temple, 2705
Joy Rd., on March 22. Tickets
for this party are 50 cents.
The Ladies' Auxiliary requests
the ladies of Detroit to partici-
pate and help them in their vari-
ous undertakings for that great
sacred purpose. In the month of
May a donor luncheon will be
given by the Ladies' Auxiliary.
More details will be announced
later.
The Ladies' Auxiliary expresses
its sincerest thanks to Mrs.
Jeannette Lewis Kirsnianski
for her generous contribution
to the Yeshivah in memory of her
brother, Harry Lewis.

The Department of Michigan,
Ladies' Auxiliary of the Jewish

28, for the patients of the Vet-

operation of the Crescent Choral
Negro Group.
The chairman of the hospi-
talization of the Department of
Michigan, Mrs. Ruth Schreiber,
and her committee, later distrib-
uted gifts of toilet necessities
to all the patients in the entire

The patients in this hospital
