D & C Steamers Open Mrs. Monte Weston Answers Why, When Home
Navigation Season
For Jewish Children at Denver Was Organized
Earlier This Year
I IC
Opening of the 1944 passenger
and freight navigation season on
the Great Lakes considerable
earlier than last year, the D & C
steamer City of Detroit III madt
its initial run between Detroit
and Cleveland Saturday night,
according to James MacMillan,
general manager of the Detroit
and Cleveland Navigation Com-
pany. "It is fortunate that an
unusually mild winter has per-
mitter this early sailing," he
explained, "because the need for
additional transportation facili-
ties to handle the great number
of wartime travelers between
these two industrial centers way
never greater. Anticipating an
early sailing, we had the D & C
teamers ready for sailing well in
Avance of the usual opening
date."
D & C boats are now leaving
Detroit and Cleveland each night
at 11:30 and arriving in each city
the next morning at 7.
"With the extremely congest-
ed condition of other types of
transportation and with the scar-
city of hotel accommodations, it
is expected that the 1944 season
will be one of the largest in the
76 year history of the D & C
Lines," MacMillan said. "Conse-
quently we have made prepara-
tions to handle capacity crowds
throughout the season."
In addition to relieving the
travel congestion between these
two cities, the regular nightly
D & C sailings will aid consider-
ably in the movement of freight
between these industrial areas,
it was said. "When the D & C
season is fully under way, we
have capacity for carrying more
than 1,000 tons of freight night-
ly," MacMillan explained.
D & C steamers to Buffalo will
start about May 1, but the defi-
nite opening date will not be de-
termined until later this month,
it was said. D & C cruise ships
will start operation in June.

Dining Room of National Home for Jewish Children at Denver
Mrs. Monte Weston, president
of the Detroit League of the
National Home for Jewish Chil-
dren at Denver, states:
"We receive from time to time
inquiries regarding the policies
and regulations that govern the
admission of children to our
Home at Denver. The questions
reveal that some, although inter-
ested in our work, are not fa-
miliar with its important phases.
We are listing some of the ques-
tions and answers, and trust that
this information will be of serv-
ice to our many friends in the
community."
Question 1. When and why was
the National Home organized?
The National Home was or-
ganized in 1907 to meet the needs
of unfortunate dependent chil-
dren whose parents, afflicted witn
tuberculosis, were coming to
Denver from all sections of the
country. Since there was no Jew-
ish Children's Home in Denver,
these children were formerly
placed in non-Jewish homes. Our
work in caring for them during
the intervening years is a na-
tion-wide service.
Question 2. What type of chil-
dren are eligible for admis-
sion and how long do they
remain in the Home?
Any Jewish or part-Jewish
child from 5 to 12 years of age
who cannot be cared for in his
or her local community is eli-
gible for admission to our Home.
Children whose parents are af
flicted with tuberculosis and oth-
er illnesses rendering the par-
ents incapable of caring for them
are given primary consideration
for admission. These now include
children requiring climatic and
environmental changes for asth-
ma, hay fever and other allergic
diseases. The children remain as
long as they need the services
of our Home as indicated by
physicians.
Question 3. How long has the
Home been caring for chil-
dren with allergic diseases?
During recent years our Home
has made a splendid record in
helping to alleviate the suffering

of children afflicted with asthma
and other allergic diseases. Many
children have greatly improved
in health after a period of resi-
dence in our Home.
Question 4. Why are these chil-
dren sent to Denver?
Only those children who do
not respond to medical treatment
in their home communities, and
for whom no placement is other-
wise available, are accepted by
our Home. Through medical re-
ports by hospital clinics and
physicians are required, as well
as the recommendations of so-
cial service agencies, requesting
the change of climate and envi-
ronment.
Question 5. Do we have refu-
gee children at the Home?
'During the war emergency our
Home admitted refugee children
whose 'parents came to the United
States under the immigration
quota. These children have adap-
ted themselves to our program
and we in turn made changes to
facilitate their becoming ac-
quainted with American customs,
language and ideals. We are
prepared to accept additional
refugee children for the dura •
tion, and after the war is over.
Question 6. What is the proce-
dure for auxiliaries in recom-
mending children for admis-
sion?
Any worthy cases coming to
the attention of our auxiliaries
are taken up directly with our
superintendent in Denver and
are accompanied by a medical
report and a social history.
Question 9. What financial ob-
ligations do auxiliaries assume
in sending children to our
Home?
Auxiliaries assume no finan-
cial responsibility when sending
children to us. However, the
community from which the chil-
deco collies has a moral. as well
as a financial, responsibility to
our Home. Neither the commu-
nity nor the auxiliary is ex-
pected to support the child on
it definite per capita cost basis.
The auxiliary is asked to render
whatever financial support it can
possibly give at all times.
Question 10. How will a change
of environment help the asth-
matic child?
The asthmatic child is frequent-
ly found to be malnourished, un-
derweight, fearful and generally
disturbed emotionally as well as
physically.
Physicians advising change of
environment feel that the relief
afforded the child through his im-
proved physical condition allows
him to develop, in ninny cases,
a tolerance of resistance to irri-
tants and inciting factors that
previously causes asthmatic re-
actions.

Weston advises that plans
are now being made for the De-
troit League's simultaneous card
parties to be held in the homes
of members and friends on Wed-
nesday, May 17. Mrs. Joseph B.

chairman of this fund-raising
project.
