That These Might Live
•
THESE CASE WORKERS give
indefatigably of t h e i r time.
House w ive s, businesswomen,
mothers, they often neglected
their own families to minister to
the unfortunate.
Their reward is the knowledge
that they have perhaps saved a
life and certainly given some
child a decent start in life.
Often the workers go beyond
their linos of simple duty to see
a case through an emergency. In
one ease. a refugee from Casa
Blanca was deserted- by her ex-
G.I. husband, shortly after she
arrived la the United States.
THE GIRL, WHO WAS preg-
nant, was turned away by the
husband's parents and left to
shift f"r herself in a strange
world.
Her ca. .e was turned over to
the Infants Service Group who
immediately went into action.
After the birth of the child, the
group Obtained and paid for a
Mohel.
Duriea the rites the mother
was too weak to hold the child.
Since there was no family, a call
was made for the case worker.
She arrived post haste and held
the baby.

job of caring for Detroit cases

BIG SURPRISE to everyone
11 at the recent AZA-BBG con-
vention was the attendance of
Harry Mirvis.
A few months ago, Harry was
transferred from a very active
position in Detroit BBYO to a
higher one in Milwaukee, Wis-
consin.
Through his friends in Detroit,
Harry was brought back to act
as the installing officer for the
newly elected AZA and BBG of-

A
REV. ROBERT L. BRADBY,
minister of the Great King Solo-

during the convention.

AT 8 A.M., the case worker
receives the call. She rushes
down to the home to discover
that the child is hungry and only
wants to he fed p little ahead of
schedule. She explains to the
anxious parents and the lines of
worry and anxiety disappear.
The case worker feeds the baby
and than returns to her own
home where the family is also
awaiting breakfast.
Such a minor crisis is routine
to members of the Infants Serv-
ice Group, an organization of 150
women who devote their time
and money to aid infants whose
families are designated as in need
of care by Detroit clubs, the
Jewish Social Service Bureau or
other organized charities.

THE INFANTS Service Group
began 15 years ago as a memorial
to a child that died. The original
members sought out indigent
families who needed food or
elothine for their children.
They then went about finding
donors who supplied them with
the articles, or earned the money
to purchase them through ba-
zaars, dances and teas.
As the organization is set up
today, the case chairman checks
the source of information a n d
turns the family over to a worker
who becomes responsible for at-
tending to the needs of all chil
dren under two in the family.
