Woman's Auxiliary of the United Hebrew
Schools Presents Unique Program

The first program in the series
of the Fall social literary pro-
grams of the Woman's Auxiliary
of the United Hebrew Schools,
was held Wednesday afternoon,
Oct. 25, in the auditorium of the
Rose Sittig Cohen Bldg. The
theme of the afternoon centered
around the "book."
Mottos in Hebrew and in Eng-
lish, relating to the "book" and
its value, were on display every-
where. There was also a dis-
play of books dealing with Jew-
ish subjects, arranged by Miss
Janet 011ander, the librarian of
the Congregation Shaarey Zedek.
The most artistic and unique dis-
play was that of a mammoth
hook, which occupied the largest
portion of the stage. This book
was especially made by an ar-
tist, and bore the inscription of
Emily Poulsson, "Books are
friends, Come let us read." This
giant size book was large enough
to accommodate within its cov-
ers all the participants of the
afternoon. The characters then
actually stepped forth from the
pages of the book, introduced
themselves to the audience, and
gave the high-lights of some of
the modern books of today.
The prOgram was opened by
Mrs. Jack Tobin, president of the
Women's Auxiliary, who greeted
the women in the name of the
Auxiliary and introduced the pro-
gram chairman, Mrs. Bert Smok-
ier, who explained very briefly
the new policy of the Woman's
Auxiliary. "The Auxiliary," she
said, "decided to dispense with
the annual donor luncheon. In-
stead, they have planned four un-

usually fine programs, of which
this is the first. The large donor
luncheon was too impersonal.
There was no intimacy in these
formal gatherings, while this pro-
gram has the quality of the per-
sonal contact." "It is hoped,"
she said, "that through these in-
timate programs, the members
will become more closely ac-
quainted, both with themselves
and with the Hebrew Schools, in
behalf of which they have plan-
ned these programs."
Mrs. Smokier then introduced
Mrs. Sara Berman Pragerson,
who acted as commentator
throughout the afternoon.
The first one to step out of
the book and introduce herself,
was Mrs. Theodore Isaacs, who
read and interpreted portions of
Maurice Samuel's very interest-
ing and most instructive book,
"Harvest in the Desert." Mrs.
Florence Moss Rosman read ex-
cerpts from Ada Jackson's stir-
ring poem, "Behold the Jew."
Mrs. Max Dushkin gave the high-
lights and a ciritical review of
Thomas Mann's great book, "Jos-
eph the Provider." Mrs. Albert
Carnick injected a somewhat
lighter note, by reading portions
from Jacob Richman's book,
"Laughs from Jewish Lore."
This portion of the program was
concluded by Mrs. Burton Sei-
don, who reviewed briefly Lud-
wig Lewisohn's book "Breathe
Upon These."
Brief remarks were also made
during this afternoon by Mrs.
Henry Shapero, chairman of the
tele'phone squad, and by Mrs.
John Horwitz, membership chair-
man.
Mrs. Horwitz announced the
change in the annual dues of the
Auxiliary, which was raised from
two dollars a year to three dol-
lars, and five dollars for patron
members. She also urged the
women to think deeply and ser-
iously about the Jewish Educa-
tion of their children. She then
read to them a letter received by
Mrs. Doris Krause of 17131
Northlawn, from her brother, Cpl.
Louis Spitzer of the Marine
Corps, who participated in the
Siapan invasion. For some time
he was officially announced as
missing in action, but it turned
out that some of the Marines
rescued him, and he is now re-
cuperating in a hospital in Ha-
waii. In his letter to his sister,
he says in part. "I've heard it
said that religion begins in a
fox-hole. How true this is. I
did plenty of praying, I assure
you. I recited anything and ev-
erything in Hebrew I could re-
member from my learning as a
kid in the Hebrew Schools. I
even recital the Four Kasher,.
Many of our Jewish boys died in
that terrible battle. I saw plenty
of Mogen Davids in the ceme-
tery. I still don't know how I
came out alive."
The Woman's Auxiliary pro-
gram was preceded by a well
prepared and well served com-
plimentary luncheon, Mrs. Louis
luncheon, and the following mem-
Tobin acting as chairman of the
bers were on the hospitality and
social committee: Mrs. Julius
Berman, Mrs. J. Zeldes, Mrs.
Rosenzweig, Mrs. Sam Gendl,
Mrs. Morris Fishman, Mrs. George
Orley, Mrs. Charles Robinson,
Mrs. R. Newman, Mrs. George
Roberts, Mrs. M. S. Dann, Mrs.
Louis Seiton and Mrs. R. Cott.
The second of the series of
programs, to which mothers and
their children are invited, will be
a Chanukah celebration, featur-
ing a colorful holiday pageant in
song and action The program
committee consists of Mrs. Bert
Smokier, chairman, and Mrs.
Charles Robinson, Mrs. Louis J.
Tobin and Bernard Isaacs.

the New Deal, through its persecution of capital, of forcing the world
back into another depression! To restore our liberties, protect our
freedom of speech, our vote and our opportunities to progress, vote
for Dewey's program. To preserve good government in Michigan,
re-elect Governor Harry F. Kelly!
