Full Support

The drive for a Jewish hos-
pital in Detroit is under way.
It was officially opened last
Monday at a luncheon meeting
of the Jewish Hospital Associa-
tion. In the coming weeks De-
troit Jews will be asked to con-
tribute a major share of the
$2,500,000 which the Jewish hos-
pital will receive from the funds
contributed to the Greater De-
troit Hospital Fund.
The meeting, which was under
the chairmanship of Max Osnos,
president of the Association, was
addressed by Dr. Charles F.
Wilinsky, president of the Amer-
ican Hospital Association and ex-
ecutive director of Beth Israel
Hospital of Boston.
Dr. Wilinsky emphasized that
a hospital is not only a place
where the sick can be cared for,
but has an important place in
the overall community picture.
The education and training of
doctors, medical research and
medical progress, he said, largely
depend upon the existence of
well-equipped and well-staffed
hospitals. A community which
helps build hospitals really helps
itself.
The doctor's main task, Dr.
Wilinsky said, is to prevent dis-
ease and to find ways for im-
proving the chances of a longer
and happier life. Such a task
can be performed adequately
only if hospitals and research
centers are at the disposal of
the medical profession.
The Jewish community in
particular, the speaker stated,
has every reason to further a
hospital project, not only in
order to give Jewish interns a
possibility to acquire experi-
ence, but also to set an ex-
ample to the greater com-
munity.
Pointing to the existing Jew-
ish hospitals in Boston, Baltimore,
Pittsburg hand St. Louis, Dr.
Wilinsky said that the plan of
a Jewish hospital in Detroit need
not remain a dream but will be-
come a reality if the project is
supported by the entire Jewish
community.
Plans for the 200-bed hospital
are already drawn up, it was
stated by Osnos, who also an-
nounced that the Greater De-
troit Hospital Fund has raised
so far $17,000,000.
Isidore Sobeloff, executive di-
rector of the Jewish Welfare
Federation, declared that this

Eddie Cantor poses with Bnal Brith women Ato brought him to
Detroit to give his one-man show for the Bnai Brith Women's
Council's fund-raising and membership campaign. His performance
put the group over the top in their drive. With Cantor are, left
to right, Mrs. Bernard Bliefield and Mrs. Bernard Goodman,
Publicity chairmen for the campaign.



fund-raising job should be the
easiest among all jobs of the
Federation, because the general
feeling exists in the Jewish com-
munity that a Jewish hospital is
long overdue.
We must take our partner-
ship in the Detroit, drive ser-
iously, Sobeloff said, and prove
to the community that we are
willing to share the burdens
of the entire project. It will
be necessary for Detroit Jews,
he added, to conduct this cam-
paign as if it were an inde-
pendent campaign.
Weekly report meetings will
be held starting Nov. 29 in order
to keep campaign workers in-
formed about the progress of the
campaign.

Still Under Management of Hy Freedman



By HAROLD S. COHEN
A bouncing, singing, joking, 58-
year-old grandfather had them
rolling in the aisles last Tuesday
evening as he proved once again
that he is still the grand old man
of show business.
The ever youthful Eddie Can-
tor whirled through a two-hour
one-man show before a capacity
house of 5,000 at Masonic Audi-
torium to put the Bnai Brith
women's fund-raising and mem-
bership campaign over its goal of
$100,000.
Singing the songs that he made
famous during his 41 years in
show business, Eddie recounted
his rise in the theater, radio and
television. He told the audience
of his early acquaintance with
Ziegfeld, Durante, Will Rogers,
Irving Berlin, Marilyn Miller, Al
Jolson, Groucho Marx and other
greats in the tinseled world.
Cantor closed his show with
a moving story of what he had
observed during his recent visit
to Israel.
He described the heroic sac-
rifices that the Israelis are mak-

ing to keep open the doors of
freedom to Jews throughout the
world who arc in want and
physical danger.
He called upon Detroit Jews
to make a maximum contribu-
tion to the next fund drive to
aid Israel.
In a press interview, Cantor
expressed dissatisfaction with the
efforts of American Jewry to
date. "I haven't seen anyone do
without another mink coat or
new car in order to help the
needy overseas," he told the
Chronicle.
He praised the cultural level of
Israel and said that he consid-
ered the Israel Orchestra better
than any in the United States.
"But they need food, blankets
and housing more than cultural
things right now," he added.
Cantor left Detroit Wednesday
to rehearse for his radio and
television shows.
In January he will assume
chairmanship of a special board
to aid the United Jewish Appeal
campaign.
