as being primarily responsible
for the organization of this effi-
cient campaign machine.

day's meeting included Mr. So-
beloff, Rabbi Leon Fram, chair-
man of the campaign speakers'

dent of the Jewish Welfare Fed-
eration, and Irving Blumberg,
president of the Detroit Service
Group.

ers. In addition,

154 senior or-
ganizations and 38 junior groups.
He praised the loyalty of his
co-workers.
SOBELOFF'S STATEMENT
In his address to the workers,
Mr. Sobeloff stated:
"Detroit this year once more
joins the honored group of Amer-
ican Jewish communities which
have exceeded their 1941 level
of contributions through welfare
funds.
"One of the most striking fea-
tures of this year's campaign was
the fact that more than 1,000 of
last year's contributors and pros-
pects are now in the armed
forces of the Country, and the
contributors who continue in De-
troit have the task of making up
this loss of support.
"The women's division in-
creased its total from $82,000 to
$95,000, a percentage increase in
excess of the percentage for the
entire campaign. The Junior Di-
vision, whose ranks were de-
pleted almost daily as a result of
their young men being called
into war service, nevertheless
went. over the top well in ad-
vance of the close of the cam-
paign.
"The General Men's Cam-
paign, despite difficulties in the
industries not essential to the
war effort, made marked ad-
vances, notably in the food
industry, mercantile division,
building and mechanical trades.
While some of the givers in
the larger brackets reacted ad-
versely to the changed condi-
tions, only 18 of the 1941 givers
of $1,000 and over reduced
their pledges, and More than
100 of the remaining givers in
this category gave at least as
much or more. All in all, the
contributors of $1,000 and over,
as a group, held their own as
compared with last year,
"The increase in the total real-
ized is due almost entirely to the
giving in the middle brackets,
proving once more that Detroit
is a middle-class community, and
that, aided by the large numbers
of givers in the smaller brackets,
these people were able to main-
Finsterwald Dies Detroit to Push RegistrationNears Goldberg to Spea
End for Tamakwa To Polish Leader
Prominent Merchant Was Fight for Equal
Active Leader in The
Jewish Community
Adolph Finsterwald, one of De-
troit's pioneer Jewish leaders and
one of the city's best known mer-
chants, died Monday night at Ho-
tel Statler, at the age of 73.
Funeral services were held
Wednesday afternoon in the main
auditorium of Temple Beth El,
Dr. Leo M. Franklin and Dr. B.
Benedict Glazer officiating. Bur-
ial was in Woodmere Cemetery.
A native Detroiter, Mr. Finster-
wald was the son of Maier Fin-
sterwald, who was a clothier here
in the '80s. Upon the death of
his father, he and four brothers
and sisters were placed in the
Cleveland Orphan Home (now
known as Bellefaire). But his
mother, Mrs. Caroline Finster-
wald, who died at the age of 82
in 1922, lived to see her son rise
to prominence here as the found-
er and president of the Finster-
wald Clothing Co.
A former president of Temple
Beth El, and the only honorary
life trustee of the congregation,
Mr. Finsterwald was chairman of
the board of the Detroit Servi•e
Group and was active in Allied
Jewish Campaigns and the Jew-
ish Welfare Federation, and in
the Detroit Community Fund. He
was a former member of the
board of the State Fair. He was
a trustee of the Cleveland Or-
phan Home, was a member of
the International Yacht and
Country Club and the Franklin
Hills Country Club.
Surviving him are his wife, the
former Helen Marymont; a
daughter, Mrs. Roserna Simon of
Los Angeles; three sons, Miles,
Joseph and Frederick, the latter
of Fort Bragg, N. C., and five
grandchildren.
taro a good record for Detroit.
"Detroit's status as a giving
community has been improving
year after year, and today in rank
of contributors to the United
Jewish Appeal, Detroit stands
fourth, with only New York, Chi-
cago and Cleveland outstripping
it. Considering that Detroit has
again passed Cleveland' in total
amount raised, a final adjustment
of allocations to the constituent
agencies may show Detroit mov-
ing up into third place in the
amount to be contributed during
the coming year to the great
European, refugee and Palestin-
ian services.
"A strong community organiza-
tion and a developing under-
standing of the problems in-
volved, account for the steady
march which Detroit has been
making toward the top among
American Jewish communities.
Only five years ago the commun-
ity was raising $350,000 from
some 9,000 contributors. This
year, it is approaching the $900,-
000 mark with 22,000 contribu-
tors, so that there is an Allied
Jewish Campaign contributor in
practically every Jewish home in
the community."

wa, in Algonquin Park, Ontario,
is nearing completion, it is an-
nounced. Openings for a maxi-
mum of 10 more "recruits" are
expected to be filled within a few
days.
Last year's enthusiasm for sail-
ing has resulted in the addition
of two craft to the South Tea
Lake "navy", and other enter-
tainment features have been pro-
vided for this year's campers. De-
spite war restrictions, there still
is convenient service on the
C. N. R. with stopover at To-
ronto. The camp car meets all
