Detroit initiated a month of Tribute to Jewish Martyrs, at
a ceremony which was part of the program of the Community
Council conference on March 14.
Participating in the observance were Rabbi Morris Adler

It is my distinct pleasure to
announce to the Jewish commun-
ity of Detroit that the Jewish
National Fund Council has ac-
quired its own offices at 11608
Dexter Blvd., corner of Burlin-
game.
For years we
have suffered in
Detroit from
lack of proper
facilities. T h e
progress we
have made has
been achieved in
spite of the lack
of an efficient
and centralized
Wm. Hordes office force to
carry on the
work we have been doing in
many fields—in the , synagogues,
through our splendid Ladies'
Auxiliary and Our many devoted
committees.
Mr. Nathan Linden has been
especially helpful in assisting us
in securing the new offices, and
I am pleased to announce that
he has accepted the post of chair-
man of the house committee to
supervise the work of the office.
He will have the assistance of
Mrs. Abraham Twersky.
The, new headquarters' tele-
phone number is TO. 8-8658.
We are now in position to ren-
der more valuable services in
the redemption of land in Pale-
stine. Soon, we will have the
semi-annual collection of the
Blue and White boxes. Our com-
mittees are already active in
planning the collections during
the Passover week.
On March 27, our youth com-
mittee will stage a carnival,- at
the Bnai Moshe, and we urge all
to attend and to encourage our
youth in their work.
The Ladies' Auxiliary has just
concluded a successful campaign
for its annual donor event, held
on Wednesday.
Our people generally are be-
coming more conscious of the
importance of the work of the
Jewish National Fund. The in-
spiration we all derived from the
national conference held here in
December helped, considerably.
Soon, we shall announce a ser-
ies of special events in celebra-
tion of the opening of our new
offices. We invite all our friends
to visit us in celebrating the
"Chanukas Ha-Bais," the acqui-
sition of headquarters, for the
Jewish National Fund.
