DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE
TeenAge
Sophisticates
By HELEN TENNENBAUM
ONE GLOWING CAN DLE
stands on our cake. We are
celebrating a very special anni-
versary, tlot of
having been
with you one
year today.
This is going
to be sort of a
special column
as there is so
much we want
to tell you.
First of all we'd
like you to
know that it's
been mighty wonderful to come
nto your homes like this weekly,
etting you know about activities
that interest you.
Then, too we'd like to thank
you from the bottom of our heart
for having been so co-operative.
• • •
LET'S LOOK BACK through
the pages and see some of the
highlights we wrote about. First,
there were those inspiring words
of Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt where
she begged us "to learn the full
meaning of Democracy and ap-
preciating the privileges it brings."
Then a chat with Gov. Arnall
who said: "Now it is up to you
to prove to your elders that you
are responsible enough to assume
the task of voting at the age of
18." Next came some articles
in which we mentioned outstand-
ing clubs such as the Que-Ettes,
the meetings of the Chix, the
Diablos, the doing of the Kasuals,
Shieks and Kinks and the activi-
ties of the Central Council on
Jewish Affairs, the Unity .Forum
and the Central Student Council.

THEN THERE WAS that inter-
view which is among our favor-
ites, with Hal Russell, the Acade-
my Award Winner, whose mes-
sage was: "You must stay in
school and try to get all the pos-
sible education, for this will be
an ever bigger essential in life."
• • •
OTHER FOND memories are
awakened by the mention of Ed-
win Levinson, that notable fellow
who overcame the handicap of
blindness winning a scholarship
to the U. of M.. .
We'had a letter for you direct
from Harve Fischman who told
us to "be iware that the high
school crowd is setting the pace
with fads, fashions and fortune
hunting. We must take up the
responsibility of being an impor-
tant part of society by taking in-
terest and becoming wise in the
problems we'll all have to face in
a few short years."
Others who talked to you
through Teenage Sophisticates
were Tom Harmon, Franklin D.
Roosevelt Jr., Robert St. John,
Pappy Douglas, Cornelia Otis
Skinner and loads more, with our
top favorite being Danny Kaye
who promotes the biggest ideas
about brotherhood.
• . •
NAMES IN THE NEWS were
Charles "Shy" Kramer, able pres-
ident of the Junior Congregation
of Shaarey Zedek, now at Mich-
igan State; Dale Boesky and Burt
London, winners of top honors at
the U. of M.; Edith Weiss, Arlane
Madison, Mary Katz, Arnie Aisen,
Iry Berg, Sherwood Colburn and
many more, not to forget Fred
Stoller, Marshall Tobin, Al Fein-
berg, Ann Willis and -‘red Hor-
witz who took top honors in
that great contgst in which 3,000
of you participated to find the
Jewish Youth Leader.
• • •
WE MENTIONED the wonder-
ful work of establishing a Durfee
Unity Forum whose leaders were
Ray Gotlieb and Sheldon Otis.
Also we told you about groups
of the Northwest Junior Congre-
gation, Temple Beth El, Temple
Israel, Demolay, AZA, and BBG
There is so much more we'd
like to review but space is run-
ning out so we should just like
to add that we hope this column
pleases each and everyone of you.
Please feel free to call us any
Friday (TO. 7-6128) for your
stories, or write to me at 3300
Tyler, not to the Chronicle of-
fices.

ONE WARM DAY, and there
is an epidemic of spring fe-

IF YOU'RE HAVING trouble
locating "mom" these days, just
call WO. 5-3939. That's the cam-
paign phone number for the
temporary offices of the Jewish
Welfare Federation.
Don't let your "moms" down.
Start thinking about the United
Jewish Appeal now, so that you
can contribute your dimes and
dollars to help needy Jews every-
where.

Many Jewish students in Bel-
gium want to correspond with
Americans, it was revealed by a
World Jewish Congress repre-
sentative who has just returned
from Europe.
These students, all in their
early twenties, have been forced
to give up their studies due to
lack of help. Because they are
not trained for specific jobs,
many have been unable to find
work. They look to Americans
for aid.
For information call Mrs. Jack
K. Lewis, service chairman of
the Women's Division, American
Jewish Congress, UN. 1-2998.
