DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and Th. Legal Chronicle

Among the early Jews of Detroit who became prominent in real
estate operations were Julius and Leopold Freud.
Julius Freud was born in Hungary in 1839 and at the age of
seventeen came with his parents and other members of the family to
Eagle Harbor, Michigan, the mining and timber country in the Upper
Peninsula in Northern Michigan. Mining and lumbering were any-
body's game in Michigan in the
middle and latter parts of the lases
century.
Land and labor were (Mean
and Julius Freud was among the
early adventurers in these indus-
tries. He opened a mining com-
pany store and later was one of
the builders of the city of Duluth,
Minnesota, supplying lumber. Ho
operated a lumber mill in Sagi-
naw, Michigan, and a potato flour
factory and dried vegetables fac-
tory in East Tawas, Michigan.
Having prospered in his business
ventures, Julius Freud moved to
Detroit where he engaged for
many years in real estate opera-
tions.
He was Postmaster of Eagle
Harbor during his sojourn there,
served as President of Detroit's
Temple Beth El and was a mem-
ber of Pisgah Lodge Bnai Brith,
Phoenix Club, Royal Arcanum,
and Knights of Honor. At the
time of the first Joint Distribu-
tion Committee Drive in Detroit,
which was headed by David A.
JULIUS FREUD
Brown, he subscribed 10 per cent
of Detroit's goal of $250,000 and p aid his pledge, partly in vegetables
which he sent to Belgium, partly in war bonds, and the balance in
cash.
Mr. Freud was married in 1873 to Carolyn Hesslein and they were
the parents of Jacob L., Isadore C. , Freda E. (Mrs. Morris D. Ullman
of Los Angeles), Milton and Fan-
ny (Mrs. Leo J. Rodgers). Their
grandchildren are Clarice Freud
who is on the staff of the Grad-
uate School of Social Work at the.
University of Michigan); Henry
J. Freud, attorney; Dr. John
Freud; Leonard, Julian and Cor-
poral Robert Rodgers; Henry awl
Charles Ullman.

Important changes in the con-
stitution of the Jewish Commu-
nity Council are proposed in re•-
ommendations to be presented to
Council delegates at the next
Delegates Conference on Thurs-
day evening, May 23rd, at the
Jewish Community Center, Wood-
ward at Holbrook.
Aaron Droock, president of the
Community Council, announced
this week that the Constitutional
Revision Committee, under th .7
chairmanship of Louis Rosen-
zweig, has drafted proposals for
amending the provisions in the
Council's Constitution which gov-
ern the election of officers and
members of the Executive Com-
mittee. The proposed revisions are
intended to further democratize
the methods of election. It is rec-
ommended that nominations from
the floor should he made in ad.
vance of the annual election
meeting, and that all nominees be
included on the secret ballot giv-
en to voting delegates.
This recommendation has been
worked out by the committee in
response to suggestions and re-
quests for changes made by dele-
gates in the past two years. The
proposals to be submitted to tlw
delegates have been considered
and approved by the Executive
Committee. Member organizattOns
have been notified of the pro-
posed amendments according to
the requirements of the Constitu-
tion.
The Constitution Revision Com-
mittee is continuing to work on
other parts of the Constitution
which, experience has indicated,
require amendment. The Council's
Constitution was adopted orig-
inally when the Council was es-
tablished in 1927. It has been re-
vised several times, the latest in
1943, as the need for changes be-
came apparent. Members of the
present committee, in addition to
Mr. Rosenzweig, include Joseph
Bernstein, co-chairman; Morris
Garvett, Morris Lieberman, Jo-
seph Snitman a n d Abraham
White.
In the notice to delegates, Me.
Droock also called attention to
the fact that the Nominating
Committee will report at the May
23rd meeting. Twelve members of
the Executive Committee are to
be elected at the annual election
meeting scheduled for June 11.

Hungary in 1848 and came with

Delegates who wish to propose
nominees to fill these vacancies
are invited to send. their suggest-
ions to the Community Council of-
lice. The personnel of the Nomi-
nating Committee will be an-
nounced shortly.
