DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle
: CENTER ACTIVITIES
Meeting Held on
Opening of Twelfth
Extension Unit
Close to 100 women volunteers
participated in an all-day session
at the Jewish Community Cen-
ter on Tuesday, Oct. 17, in prep-
aration of the opening of the
Twelfth Street Extension Unit
sponsored by the Center and the
Detroit Section of the National
Council of Jewish Women.
Attending the Institute were
members of the various commit-
tees and other workers who have
volunteered their services in con-
nection with the program and op-
erations of the Extension Unit
which is financed by the 't War
Chest and equipped end furnished
by the Council.
The Institute was presided over
by Mrs. Jack Rothberg. Greet-
ings were presented by Mrs. Her-
schel V. Kreger, president of the
Detroit Section of the National
Council of Jewish Women; Mrs.
Leonard H. Weiner, chairman of
the extension committee in ab-
sentia by Mrs. Rothberg, and A.
Sudran, administrative assistant
of the Jewish Welfare Federa-
tiin. H. C. Broder, president of
the Center, spoke at the lunch-
eon gathering.
The background of the history
of the Extension Program was
reviewed by Herman Jacobs, ex-
ecutive director of the Jewish
Community Center, who traced
the program of the Center and
the Council and emphasized the
unique character of this kind of
collaboration of volunteer society
and prof essional community
agency.
A birdseye view of the compo-
sition of the community to be
served by the program was pre-
sented by Harold Silver, execu-
tive director of the Jewish Social
Service Bureau. He described the
nature of the population, the
many interests they reflect in Jew-
ish and civic life. He also showed
from studies that there is only
slight delinquency in the area
despite the fact that children
are mostly native born and the
parents largely foreign born, a
fact which in other areas of the
city has always induced a good
deal of delinquency.
A graphic description of the
quarters and an introduction to
the program was furnished by
Harold Weiss, director of the ex-
tension activities. The experience
of other agencies in neighborhood
work was offered by Lewis Lar-
kin, area worker in the Davison
District, whose vivid experiences
highlighted the need for volun-
teers in the program, for their
being friendly, personal and sym-
pathetic to the problems of the
paonle, adults as well as chil-
dren, with whom they will be in
contact.
A spirited discussion from the
audience revealed the keen desire
en the part of all present to
learn how to be most helpful.
Further training courses will
be given at regular intervals as
refreshers and as orientation for
new volunteer workers. The pro-
ject will be located at 8687 12th
St. at the corner of Blaine, and
will be located in a large store
and a very large basement. Fa-
cilities will provide for gather-
ings, reading, games, (lancing for
young people, crafts, discussions
and lectures, scouting, family
problems, household arts and con-
sumers interest.

HELEN TRAUBEL
ger, who is musical director of
the orchestra, will conduct the
glorious Beethoven-Wagner pro-
gram, and Helen Traubel, the
Metropolitan's "First All-Amer-
ican First Lady," will be guest
artist. Both these musicians are
products of our Middle-West, and
both have risen to the heights
of their respective fields.
Helen Traubel was born in St.
Louis, Mo., and her fame is hand-
some vindication for the old be-
lief that professional opportuni-
ties were nil for the American-
born and American-trained sing-
ers in their own country. She is
the first native singer in 40 years
to carry the principal singing
burden of the Met's annual uncut
"Ring" Cycle.
Karl Krueger will begin the

from "Siegfried."
