RABBI LEON FRAM: "Jewish
journalism in America has long
been enriched by the personality
of Mr. Philip Slomovitz. Trained
in the technique of American Jour-
nalism, and a keen student of
Jewish History as well as of world
affairs, he is capable of placing
Jewish Journalism on the high
level of literary quality, dignity,
and reliability to which it is en-
titled. Detroit has been fortunate
for . many years in enjoying his
services as a journalist. His editor-
ials have been trenchant and well-
informed coin me n t s on Jewish
problems. From his columns have,
emanated the sheer human inter&tj
of Jewish life, as well as its humor
and its inspiration. American Jour-
nalism has few such brilliant per-
sonalities. I am glad that Detroit
Jews have learned to appreciate
the one we have among us. The
men who have organized to estab-
lish a vehicle for his journalistic

guished service to Jewish Culture,
and to the advancement of Jewish
communal life in Detroit and in
America."

ation of a foundation for an in-

lives. I welcome The Jewish
News as such an event. I am
confident that the Jews of De-
troit and Michigan will gain
from your efforts. I am certain
you will be blessed with success
and I am happy to share in
whatever efforts are necessary to
make for such success."

MORRIS GARVETT: "On this
occasion when you assume the task
of editor of a new Jewish news-
paper in this city I extend to you
my warmest personal greeting.
The Jewish community of Detroit
grows in national importance as
does the city itself, and it is vital
to the interests of everyone that
the Jewish press shall be Courage-
ous and able. The record which
you have established as an editor
in this city during the last two
decades is an assurance that the
new publication will maintain the
highest standards of journalism
and of community service. I wish
you complete success in your under-
taking."

DAVID GOLDBERG, Director of
Publicity, Halevy Singing Society:
"The executive board of the De-
troit Halevy Singing Society has
requested me to express to you in
its behalf the very best wishes of
the Halevy for the success of Mich-
igar.'s newest Jewish publication."

LEON KAY: "Please accept my
congratulations and best wishes
for your new enterprise. I am
quite certain that under your
leadership this new Jewish weekly
will cover all the important Jew-
ish news and will constantly
guard our interests and self-re-
spect. I also hope that you as
the editor will help to promote
the development of Jewish na-
tional emancipation the world
over and especially the recon-
struction of Palestine, as our na-
tional home."
