Max Elkin Named
Campaign Leader
The Mt. Clemens Jewish com-
munity has launched a $45,000
campaign on behalf , of the
United Jewish Appeal.
Chairman is Max Elkin, civic
leader and owner of the Colonial
Hotel.
He is assisted by Mrs. Harry
Malbin, Women's Division chair-

special gifts chairman; Samuel
J. Levine, arrangement commit-
tee head; Isaac Barnett, treas-
urer; Samuel Kramer, captain

a large sum," Elkin said, "but
it is the basic minimum that is
needed from our community if
we are to cope with the situa-
tion presented to us by the
plight of the Jews of Europe
and the historic opportunities
that exist for the reconstruction
of Jewish life in Palestine."

Exactly one month remains before the Greater Detroit Bnai
Brith Women's Council diaws the curtains on its $75,000 fund-
raising campaign.

Mariachis," whri will present the "Romantic Mexico of Yesterday"
and "Gay Mexico of Today," highpoints of Carnegie Hall's music
season.
Guizar is the internationally famed star of stage, screen and

any artist since Caruso.

Mexican National Conservatory and of St. Mark's Academy in
Milan and has starred in Mexican and grand opera and with the
Chicago Opera Company.
Complete with lavish costumes and settings, the program will
be similar in every detail to any that might be staged before
a Latin audience.
Guizar will wear an $8,000 costume and play a $25,000 guitar.
Besides Mexican arias and folk songs, he will present popular
numbers he made famous, including "Brazil" and "El Rancho
Grande."
