Service Group Old, New World Celebrate
Elections Set Reunion at Carnegie Hall

Thirteen thousand members of
the Detroit Service Group—trade
and professional contributors to
the Allied Jewish Campaign—
are invited -to attend the DSG
annual meeting, at 8:30 p.m.,
Thursday, Nov. 17, at the Center,
to elect members of the board.
Preceding the meeting, the seven
trade and professional divisions
will mat separately for election
of officers.
Guest speaker will be Isidore
Sobeloff, executive director of the
Jewish Welfare Federation, who
will give his first report on his
trip to Europe and Israel.
A musical revue, "Campaign-
ing Is a Circus," will be presented
under the direction of Mrs.
Charles Briskman, who, with Mrs.
Leonard H. Weiner, wrote the
show.

Max Learner, author, editor,
and journalist, discussing "Amer-
ica-Israel, in the World Scene,"
will be the speaker at the first
meeting of the Detroit Section of
the National Council of Jewish
Women, to be held at 12:30 p.m.,
Monday, at the Jewish Center.
Lerner, sometimes called "the
stormy petrel of journalism," has
been an outstanding figure in the
liberal world for many years.
His book, "It is Later Than
You Think," gave currency to that
oft repeated phrase, following its
publication in 1939, and also to
the term "democratic collec-
tivism."

couple sat and listened to the
strains of a Bach concerto being
rehearsed by Szymon Goldberg.
The young man was to give a
concert that night, but to
the elderly couple, Cantor Fred-
rick Scholsohn and his wife, the
music recalled a concert hall in
Warsaw in 1914 and a small boy
holding the audience entranced as
he played the magnificent Pagini-
ni Concerto.
And behind that debut was a
story; a story that goes back to
before the first World War.
The story of an itinerant Can-
tor who served the impoverished
families in the countryside near
Wloclawec, Poland, and a little
boy to whom the Cantor gave a
violin, because he was impressed
by his ability on the mandolin.
