A.4 12 June DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle 4, 1943 - Bulgarians Thwart Deportation of 25,000 Jews From Sofia East Side Bnai Brith Auxiliary Elects Officers STOCKHOLM (WNS)—Popula• mass demonstrations in Sofia against the Nazi-imposed anti- Jewish program have thwarted, at least temporarily, the Bul- garian government's scheduled deportation of 25,000 Jews from the nation's capital, it was re- ported here this week. The demonstrations broke out when Bulgarian police marched 4,000 Jews to the railway sta- tion to entrain for unknown des- tinations. Thousands of non- Jews blocked the procession, sing- ing the Bulgarian national an- them and shouting, "We want the Jews to remain." Police dispersed the large crowd, but it reformed before the Ministry of Interior, which had previously announced that the deportation of Jews was nec- essary "in the interest of the nation." A pitched battle be- tween police and demonstrators occurred in front of the Sofia Synagogue. Bulgarian troops had to be called to protect the po- lice from the angry throng. Sev- eral hundred demonstrators were reported arrested. The demonstrations occurred at the expiration of the three days' notice given to the Jews of Sofia to leave the city "volun- tarily" or face expulsion. In making this order more palatable to the Bulgarain public, which resents the increasing Nazi dom- ination of the government, the Interior Ministry charged that the Jews "are spreading rumors Infanta Service.

"J" For the joy you spread around As a farmer plants seeds when he plows the ground— "E" For elated, and that's what we are Whenever you're near us and not afar— "A" Stands for angel or so they all say— Not one in white but an angel in grey— "N" Is for nifty, natty and nice— That's our Grey Lady, the jewel without price. —Corp. Tech. Joseph A. Cienian. She may be a "Gray" Lady but she has a heart of "gold"— just ask any soldier-patient in the Post Hospital about Mrs. Jean Siegel, Fort Wayne's "Angel in Grey." In the eighteen months she has been volunteering her time at the Fort Hospital she has become one of the best loved figures around the Post. Mrs. Siegel's family of "boys" now runs into the hundreds, and they all remember her long after they have left the hospital. In fact, she still receives letters of grat- itude from some of her first pa- tients. A friend to those who really need one, Jean always has a smile for the soldiers who are ill and far from home. Her charming manner and enthusias- tic interest in people have kept the sun shining for many a lone- some lad. As Fort Wayne's Grey Lady spends three afternoons a week at the hospital, buying cigarettes, candy, coca-cola and other neces- sities (which sometimes even in- cludes underwear) for the pa- tients, visiting with the soldiers, playing games with those who are well enough, and taking care of the hospital library of maga- zines and books. When a soldier wants a telegram sent, Jean takes care of it. When • he wishes to purchase a gift for his mother's birthday, Jean is on hand to do his shopping for him. And above all, when there's a problem trou- bling him, Jean is there to listen and sympathize. "She's old enough so that I feel .I can talk almost anything over with her," claimed one sol- dier, "but yet she's young enough that I know she really under- stands. She's just like a big sister to all of us fellows." Big sister Jean is a mother with two daughters of her own, and when a soldier is particularly lonesome Jean invites him out to visit her home. Those visits to the Siegel's are ones the boys keep a long time as happy mem- ories. Two and a half years of Grey Lady's duty lie behind Jean, who became interested in this work through her American Red Cross activities. Persons taking the Grey Lady course must be be- tween 25 and 50 years of age. College graduates are preferred although not required. Two weeks training in a hospital is neces- sary. During this period special emphasis is placed on learning recreational therapy, psychology and general rules and regulations of hospitals. Grey ladies sign up for four years and must com- plete a required number of hours on duty each year.

Club of Pioneer Women To Hold Tea June 7 Club 2 of the Pioneer Women's Organization will give a tea on Monday evening, June 7, at 8:30 at Lachar's Hall, 8939 Twelfth St., in honor of Mrs. Janet Ser- ling and Abraham Stein in rec- ognition of their efforts to help boost the Child Rescue Fund Project. Mr. Stein and Mrs. Selling, as a team, raised $1,000 for the fund. The child rescue work under the leadership of Mrs. N. Lesowoder, chairman, and Mrs. D. Reitman, co-chair- man, is progressing very suc- cessfully with $2,000 raised in cash and $2,000 in pledges, and with prospects looking very prom- ising. At this event, Club 2 will also celebrate the installation of new members, Mrs. Serling, Mrs. Stein, Mrs. Resnick, Mrs. Margolis and others will be installed. Friends and prospective mem- bers are cordially invited. • One hundred and fifty soldiers stationed at Fort Custer, Kellogg Field and Percy Jones Hospital were entertained at the first out- ing given this year by the Jew- ish Welfare Board in Battle Creek through arrangements made by Samuel Kurzon, JWB director for the Fort Custer area. Starting with breakfast at the West Michigan USO Club in Bat- tle Creek, a laughing, singing group of soldiers accompanied by junior hostesses representing the Detroit League of Jewish Youth, who had come to Battle Creek by chartered bus, left for Willard Park for an afternoon of out- door activity. Feature of the day was a soft ball game between soldiers and hostesses which resulted in a tie due perhaps to the errors of the soldier team, who, it ap- peared, were more interested in their opponents than in the result of the game. Because of the inclement weather, the picnic dinner was held indoors at the USO Club. Folk (lancing, including the Pal- estinian Hora led by Pvt. Eugene Goldberger of Ft. Custer, enliv- ened the evening's activities. Sponsors of the event were the Jewish Welfare Board Army and Navy Committee of Detroit, who arranged for transportation of hostesses and provided food for the affair, Battle Creek hostesses who assisted were Mrs. Jacob Mehler, Mrs. Morris Blyveis, Mrs. Albert Harris, Mrs. Kate Phillips.
