Jewish Scientist Dies

LONDON, (JTA)— Prof. Ernst
Freund, one of the foremost Aus-
trian medical scientis s and direc-
tor of the Pearson Foundatki
for cancer research, died here at
the age of 82.
Dr. Freund, a Jew, was forced
to flee Vienna in 1938 when'the
Nazis took power. When Dr.
Freund arrived in England, Fred-
erick Pearson established another
foundation to permit him and
other scientists to continue their
research. He was an authority in
nutrition and food chemistry, and
during his 55 years of work he
concentrated his fight against
cancer in these fields.
Freund's loss will be felt keenly
in the field of cancer research. His
work will be continued by younger
scientists but his wisdom and ex-
perience in the field will be diffi-
cult to be replaced.

makes him and others impatient because there has been a letdown
in his tension. The objective of military service is less clear now and
action is limited to patrol or guard duty. The fun, the glamor, the
hardships, the danger are all gone.
Your husband would be unusual if he didn't complain. He ha
new objective, going home to his family. He has done his share
fighting and now he is selfish enough to want his personal objectives
realized quickly.

The completion (Sium) of Ge-
mora Shaboth will take place at
8:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 26, in
the social hall of Congregation
Mishkan Israel, Rabbi Isaac
Stollman announced.
The Daf Yomi is an institution
which was founded in Poland by
the late Rabbi Meyer Shapiro,
dean and founder of Yeshivah
Chachmey Lublin, with the pur-
pose of disseminating the index
of study in the Talmud.
Three years ago, Rabbi Stollman
successfully organized the Daf
Yomi in Detroit with the result
that many congregations and in-
dividual groups now join in the
study.
Local rabbis will participate in
the evening's program. Refresh-
ments will be served by the Ladies
Auxiliary of the Congregation
Mishkan Israel assisted by the
Merkaz. The public is invited.

Griping Is Healthy

The American soldier is a good soldier. He is also a complainer.
His complaints are not serious. They are merely his way ,.; letting
off steam; they act as his safety valve. Undoubtedly your‘husband's
letters have let sore of this steam creep into them. He is all the
more adjusted if he can openly voice his complaints, rather than
suppress them.
The families of servicemen want to do the right thing. A few
general principles may be stated. If your husband or brother or son
was a healthy, normal and well-adjusted person before he went into
military service, if he had work experience, you need not worry
about him, short of unusual events. People take a shorter or longer
time to return to the old routines. You may expect your husband to
want a bit of time to pick up the loose ends he left, to find out what
has happened while he was away. Generally we counsel patience, tic,
a period of re-acquaintance.
It may be just as difficult (or more so) for a wife to re-adjust
herself to a husband who has been in service. She may need more
help than he. She will have to give up being father and mother to
the children, give up looking after the financial and domestic duties
of the home. The husband wants to take his old place as head of the
house, as the father, and as the breadwinner.
Such stable soldiers need cause their families no alarm. They
normally settle into a routine and go to work quickly, once they return
to civilian status.
A number of youngsters went into the service, fairly immature
individuals. They have had tremendous experiences and have matured .
They too should give no concern. They have gone back to school, to
work. They too are doing all right.

Jewish Chaplains Get
Honor Scrolls at Dinner

Fifty-two Jewish chaplains, who
have served or are still in service
with all branches of the armed
forces of the United States and
Canada, were the recipients of

served well under battle conditions and that experience has bees
a stabilizing one to them.
Generally, however, these men were in difficulty in the army or
navy. They were AWOL frequently. Without backbone, with poor
emotional makeups, they were a source of difficulty. They were sent
to disciplinary barracks. These men will probably give their families
continued anxiety but none different than they knew as civilians,
These men, fortunately not a majority, will be in civilian trouble, as
some of them already are. These are the men who will require official
or unofficial supervision. The probabilities of success with them are
generally held to be limited.

BETH AARON SISTERHOOD
The Beth Aaron Sisterhood
meeting of June 10 resulted in the
following list of new officers, who
will be installed at the fall re-
opening of the Sisterhood's meet-
ings: Mesdames Estelle Harris,
president; Sophie Goldberg, 1st
vice-pres.; Betty Becker. 2nd vice-
pres.; Marion Levine, financial

er, treas.; Betty Krup and Rae
Gell, trustees; and Belle Strasner

This is a simple story about Detroit city taxes.

It is a part of the story about what happens to the money with which you pay your electric bill.

In 1945, in addition to state and federal taxes of even larger amounts, The Detroit Edison Coin.

pany paid $1,487,857 in taxes to the City of Detroit.

That $3,487,857 was a part of your electric bill that had nothing to do with charges for electricity
or service. It did go a long way toward paying the cost of your city government, and that is the
way those costs do get paid under the American form of government.

Take the total 1944.45 cost of operating the offices of the Mayor, the Auditor General, the City
Clerk, the Controller, the Treasurer and the Corporation Counsel and add to that the total cost
of the Common Council, the Election Commission and the Civil Service Commission. The 1945

Detroit Edison tax was enough to cover all of that, with nearly enough left over to pay the
$1,097,762 it took to operate the Detroit Recorder's Court.

The city tax paid annually by The Detroit Edison Company would pay the cost of more than
25 general city elections.

Last year the sum was sufficient to pay the total operating and maintenance costs of the Public
Lighting Commission, with $214,000 to spare.

The Detroit Edison Company, as a citizen of Detroit, recognizes that necessary public services

must be supported.

It must be remembered, however, that the $3,487,857 was on your electric bill but was NOT a
charge for electricity. Let's keep the record straight and the facts clear.
