In their series on the Anglo-Jewish Press of the
world, World News Services of Toronto, Canada, wrote
the following article on the Detroit Jewish Chronicle:
By JOSEPH BERK
(Another in the series of feature articles about
the world's Jewish publications published in English
and other languages.)
EVERY ANGLO-JEWISH publication in the United
States faces the bitter problem of co-ordinating
editorial and advertising matter. Costs are high and
have been going higher. Advertising revenue is hard-
er to get than during the war.
Such good papers as .the Detroit Jewish Chron-
icle show the effects of trying to get out an excellent
paper in the prevailing circumstances of shortage of
newsprint and the necessity of getting into the paper
every possible advertisement while not neglecting edi-
torial matter.

THE DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE is a credit
to the city's Jewry. It reflects the life of the Jews
of .the automobile city and its environs. At the same
time the paper gives lively reportage of conditions
and doings of Jewry everywhere.
It may safely be said that the editorials of the
Detroit Jewish Chronicle are among the most ably
composed in the entire Anglo-Jewish press of the
world. They have a great deal to say and the editor
never shirks a fight if he thinks one is needed. This
is what makes the Chronicle a paragon of 'editorial
virtue, for compromise editorially is all too frequent
among certain papers.

THE DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE is pub-
lished in tabloid form, usually in 16 pages. The first
page is devoted to general Jewish news with Detroit
Jewish items adroitly mixed in.
For example, in the issue of Sept. 10, the editor
succeeded in doing what normally is very difficult:
combining a Detroit and an Israel issue in one photo-
graph on the front page in showing a photo of Tel
Aviv on display at the Michigan State Fair.
Interesting is the variety of matter the Chronicle
succeeds in putting on the front page. We have al-
ready spoken of the photograph in the center.
• * •
OTHER ITEMS IN this is de - 'consist of news
from Tel Aviv, Mexico and Russia, a report on the
Israel Aid Drive in Detroit and a short on a wrestling
match in Detroit in favor of Israel. The second page
of the Chronicle is generally devoted to local and the
third to foreign news.
The editorial page on page four has a most inter-
esting feature entitled "The Visiting Editor" in which
editorial views of other than the Chronicle editor are
cited.
"Random Thoughts" is one of the most interest-
ing "random" columns written by any Anglo-Jewish
columnist.
On Sept. 10 the writer told the story of some
anti-Semitic pamphlets, described the Musaf Lakorei
Hatzair, a "must for adults" according to him, and
reviewed the Iladoar Lanoar, the children's magazine.
Very interesting way of handling material.
The rest of the paper is devoted to local news.

ONE CAN SAY THAT the editor has done a most
creditable job with his paper. If anything, one misses
only the longer features, articles and stories carried
by larger non-tabloid papers.
In dealing with the Chronicle one is led to ponder:
are there any Jews in the automobile industry in De-
troit? One would never think so from reading the
paper.
And the same query can be made of every Jew-
. . ish paper in the English field. They reflect everything
but their own home industrial environment.
The reason would be interesting to discover.

JWF Sends Out
Lists of Schools
in Jewish Areas

"In planning a Jewish educa-
tion for your child, you live in
the Best Neighborhood in De-
troit."
That is the theme of a mailing
sent out by the educational
planning commission of the Jew-
ish Welfare Federation to Jew-
ish families in the area bounded
by Virginia Park, Twelfth street,
Oakman boulevard and Broad-
street.
The mailing lists the Jewish
schools which are within easy
walking distance of homes in
this area and urges that Jewish
parents take advantage of the
convenience by enrolling their
children for a Jewish education.
