Community Is Invited
"All adult members of the com-
munity are invited to attend the
annual meeting," stated Mrs.
Glogower. "We urge them to at-
tend so that they may obtain a
clear picture of the functioning
of the Center under war-time con-
ditions. We wish the community
to know of the Center's services
to men in uniform, to whom we
offer the facilities of the entire
building.
"We wish the community to
know. also, of our efforts on be-
half of the many strangers in
the city, young men and women
who spend busy hours in our war
industries, but who find their
leisure hours lonely. At the Cen-
ter, each week, many have found
good companionship.
Common Meeting Place
"In addition, we want the com-
munity to realize that the Cen-
ter has not lost sight of its true
objective of a consciously Jewish
group life, which is properly in-
tegrated in the life of the city
at large. The Center is a Town
Hall, a common meeting place
for all elements and groups, and
a unifying agency through which
the entire Jewish community
may express itself."
The Jewish Community Cen-
ter = is a member of the Jewish
Welfare Federation, the Jewish
Welfare Board and the Detroit
Community Fund, and is a bene-
ficiary of the War Chest of Met-
ropolitan Detroit.

porter of the Beth Jacob move-
ment.
