ganized in Rochester, N. Y., in 1910, became a fraternal order in 1912
and was chartered in 1913.
Its program consists of mutual aid to its members in the event
of sickness, distress or death; of a widespread educational and so-
cial program; and of participating in all activities to improve the
condition of Jewish masses everywhere. Implicit in the last-named
purpose are considered the upbuilding of Palestine and securing the
rghts of labor.
The fraternal benefit system of Farbalid operates on the same
basis as that of an insurance company. Its ideological program calls
for a positive approach to Jewish life and Jewish culture, the re-
habilitation and productivization of Jewish life wherever possible,
the democratization of Jewish communal life, the establishment of
the Jewish National Homeland in Palestine on the basis of Jewish
labor, the organization of labor generally for the protection of its
economic interests and politically for the ultimate reshaping of the
Locial order and the linking of the struggle for al more equitable
and harmonious world.

IN COOPERATION with the Labor Zionists (Peale Zion), the
Farband maintains more than 70 school units of the Jewish Folk
Schullen in the United States, as well as the Jewish Teachers' Semi-
nary. Included in the curriculum of the schools are Yiddish and
Hebrew, Jewish literature, history, folklore, and the observance, as
folk manifestations, of Jewish holidays.
The Farband publishes the monthly "Alliance Voice" in English
and Yiddish. It has at present over 350 branches with about 30,000
members.

A BRANCH OF THE FARBAND, Branch No. 13, was organized
in Detroit in 1910. Today Detroit has three Yiddish-speaking branches,
Avrunin Branch No. 79, organized in 1914, Sholom Aleichem Branch
No. 114 organized in the early 1930's, and Arlazaroff Branch No. 137
organized in 1934, and three English-speaking branches, with a mem-
bership of over 700.
The Detroit branches conduct three schools which are under the
joint auspices of Farband, Labor Zionists and Pioneer Women's Or-
ganizations. The Detroit Farband branches also conduct Camp Kin-
derwelt in Chelsea, Mich., which was purchased in 1928 and opened
in 1929. The Detroit Farband branches are active in the support of
the Gewerkshaften campaign and of every activity in the Labor
Zionist movement.
There Is also one branch of the Farband in Grand Rapids, or-
ganized in 1942, and one branch in Benton Harbor, organized in 1944.

OH! Do We have Spring Fever?
Sure thing, if spring ever comes
to stay . . . There are definite
symptoms of spring in the air,
though. By that I am, of course,
referring to that super duper hay
ride which the Que-Ettes held a
couple of Saturdays ago . . .
The place was Morton's Stables
but not everyone found it easy
to get there . . . with Dave Lip-
pit and Helen Schiff In the front
seat of one car, Phyllis Mosko-
vitz and Jerrie Blumenthal, Mir-
iam Fairer and Dick Carson, the
other passengers, finding that be-
ing lost for a while wasn't so bad.
When they finally did arrive
they were met by Norma Meer
with Morris (Chink) Rosen, Sylvia
Berkowitz with Mel Rector, Sylvia
Frommer and Harold Pearlman
and of course Idelle Graff with
Al Weinstein, Alice Newman with
Marty Moss and Sally Grimes with
Norm Gilbert. As if this wasn't
enough for one night, Jay Schultz
and his gang decided to pay the
group a visit out at the Stables...
That sure was a wonderful turn-
out.
