There are many reasons why
the requests from such agencies
as ours have decreased. They
are: N.Y.A., unemployment com-
pensation, old age pensions, total
stoppage of subsidies to relatives
in Europe, decrease in immigra-
tion possibilities, group hospital-
ization, increase in employment
and better wages, gradual elimi-
nation of the small business man;
and restrictions on truck, car,
and tire buying.
There was a time when in Jan-
uary and September, before new
school semesters began, there
was a demand for loans for tui-
tion, books, and instruments for
the dental and medical students.
In April and September, before
Pesach and Rosh Hashona, there
was a call for money to meet the
special holiday need, and to
send to Europe. The immigration
picture has completely changed,
and will remain so until after
the war.
One of the finest aids to fami-
lies is that of low-price hospital-
ization. It averts a financial
crisis, contributes to peace of
mind, and incidentally elimin-
ates one of the purposes for
which persons often were forced
to ask for loans.
Unemployment compensation
and old age pensions have had
far reaching effects. The war,
especially in an industrial center
like Detroit, has created excep-
tional opportunities for earning.
Throughout the years, the
Hebrew Free Loan Association
assisted the small business man
to get started, and later, to keep
going. Scarcity of peace-time
goods is a deterrant now, and
that class of business is gradu-
ally being forced out. In 1941,
144 loans were made for trucks,
cars for business, tires, etc. The
number of loans for such pur-
pose now is very small.
In spite of these conditions, we

have granted to date, in 1942, 963
loans in the amount of $109,390.
Whatever the future, it seems
certain that the . Hebrew Free
Loan Association will always
have a niche to fill in the social
structure of the Jewish commun-
ity.
