500 Expected to Hear Paperman
Speak at Annual Yeshivah Dinner

Five hundred men and women,
drawn from all of the traditional
synagogues in Detroit, and many
communal groups, will gather Sun-
day, March 3, at 6:30 p.m., in the
social hall of Congregation Shaa-
rey Zedek, for the Fourth Annual
Patrons' Dinner of Yeshivath Beth
Yehudah. Major Aaron Paperman,
director of the Yeshivah of East-
ern Parkway in Brooklyn, N. Y..
first Jewish chaplain with Ameri-
can forces to invade the European
continent, will be guest speaker.
Founded in 1917, the Yeshivah
student body has grown from 40
in 1938 to almost 600 in 1946. Sev-
enty-five new students wore en-
rolled in all departments at tho
beginning of the new semester
last January 28.
Through the courtesy of stations
WJLB and WJBK, and the direc-
tors of the Jewish hours, Mrs.
Hyman Altman, and Mr. Harry
Weinberg, radio talks were deliv-
ered in the interest of Yeshivath
Beth Yehudah during the last
month by the following: David J.
Cohen, Morris Mohr, Rabbi Alvin
M. Poplack, Meyer Terebelo, and
Rabbis Simcha Wasserman and
David Zwick. Rabbis Leizer Levin,
Isaac Stollman, and M. J. Wohl-
gelernter, president of the Yeshi-
vah, spoke at a Melaveh Malko
arranged by the Vaad Horabonim
launching Torah month which will
be concluded with the March 3

dinner.

A mother living in Scarsdale, N.
Y., has just learned that her son,
an American boy seized as a slave
laborer by the Nazis, is alive in
Germany. The welcome news
reached her through the joint ef-
forts of an UNRRA officer in Eu-
rope, the 1 National Refugee Serv-
ice in New York City, and an un-
identified Westchester County tele-
phone operator.
The mother is Mrs. Antoinette
Novack of 126 Birchen Dr., Scars-
dale. Her son, George Conrad, was
stranded in Yugoslavia when the
war broke out while he was visit-
ing there. Mrs. Novack had not
heard from her boy for years and
thought he was dead.
Their story was revealed this
week at the offices of the United
Jewish Appeal, whose $100,000,000
fund-raising campaign for 1916 fi-
nances the work of the National
Refugee Service on behalf of vie-
Hills of persecution finding haven
in the United States. The task of
reuniting mother and son began
when George was liberated by
American troops invading Ger-

many. lie was brought to a dis-
placed persons' center in Bayreuth.
There tie told Eugene V. Pugh,
UNRRA Welfare Officer, that he
was born in the United States
and that his mother lives there.
He did not know that his mother
had remarried and was now Mrs.
Novack and he had only a gar-
bled recollection of her address,
which he gave as "305 Heath,
Clayton Road, Scarsdale, New
York."
The case was forwarded by Mr.
Pugh to the National Refugee
Service, which has a file of about
1,000,000 names of refugees over-
seas and relatives and friends in
the United States who are seek-
ing their whereabouts. However,
the NRS file contained no clue to
the address of Mrs. Conrad. A
worker in the agency's location
department was assigned to trace
her. The address given by the boy
did not exist in Scarsdale. But
when the worker asked for "In-
formation" in the Scaridale Ex-
change, the operator there became
interested and volunteered to help.

A little later she reported that
she had found a family by the
name of Heath which had once
lived on Clayton Road. She sup-
plied their new address...
Heath family rememberme
they had formerly emplo!
housekeeper named Mrs. Com , d.
They did not know where sus
had gone, but with this new lead
the NRS worker, after many days
of effort, succeeded in finding the
mother.

,

Overjoyed at hearing that her
boy was alive, Mrs. Novack im-
mediately cabled and wrote to
him. The latest report from Mr.
Pugh to the National Refugee
Service was that George had re-
ceived her cable and letter and
that mother and son are now cor-
responding regularly with each
other.

The United Jewish Appeal which
provides the resources for the
National Refugee Service, also fi-
minces the programs of the Joint
Distribution Committee and the'
United Palestine Appeal.
