Detroit Jewry To Participate In Nation-Wide Plan Of
Final Gewerkshaften Report
National Jewish Welfare Board To Gather Data;
At Lachar's Expected To
Collect 89.7% On 1942 A. J. C. Pledges
Top $50,000 Goal

The Jewish community of Detroit -will participate in
the nationwide effort of the National Jewish Welfare Board
and will undertake to compile as complete a record as
possible of Jewish participation in the war, Isidore Sobeloff,
executive director of the Jewish Welfare Federation, an-
nounced Monday at a luncheon meeting of the governing

boards of the Detroit Service
Group and the Federation, at
Hotel Statler.
The reasons for compiling a
complete and up-to-date list of
persons who have entered the
armed forces were outlined by
Mr. Sobeloff as follows:
Reasons for Compilation
1. To help provide better lo-
cal and national services to our
boys through your local Army
& Navy Committee, as well as
through the National Jewish
Welfare Board. These services
include religious contacts, pro-
vision for educational and cult-
ural needs, the handling of per-
sonal problems of the men—and
in the case of families, render-
ing every possible assistance in
time of trial or of trouble.
2. To help strengthen the
morale of our men, their families
and the Jewish community by
the periodic publication of infor-
mation regarding the heroic
deeds of specific individuals or
of the participation of local Jew-
ish groups as a whole.
3. To secure reliable and ac-
curate facts to refute any possible
charge by subversive elements
about Jewish participation in the
war effort.
4. To make it possible for the
community to keep in touch with
our men, so that they . will know
that they are continually in our
minds and in our hearts.
5. To provide a permanent
local and national record of their
heroic achievements.
6. To help plan for their re-
adjustment and reabsorption into
the economic and social life of
the community after their return
home, when the war is over.
Mr. Sobeloff also announced
that budgeting plans for agencies
of the Allied Jewish Campaign
is now . being planned.
Blumberg Presides
Irving W. Bhunberg, president
of the Detroit Service Group,
presided at the meeting.
Harry R. Solomon, chairman
of the collection committee, re-
ported that as of March 25, mark-
ing the completion of a 10-month
period, $796,559, or 89.7 per cent
of the total, was collected on 1942
pledges to the Allied Jewish
Campaign. He also reported that
$803,484 or 97.2 per cent of the
total was collected on 1941
pledges and $712,127 or 97.5 per
cent of the total on 1940 pledges.
Rubiner Reports
Samuel Rubiner, chairman of
the Detroit Army and Navy
Committee of the Jewish Wel-
fare _Board, presented an elabor-
ate report on activities in this
area during the past few months.
He told of efforts to care for
the needs of servicemen at Fort
Custer, Fort Brady and other
Michigan camps, and described
the efforts of his committee to
provide entertainment and ne-
cessities for servicemen at the
USO Downtown Club and at the
Jewish Community Center.

Good NeighlporProject Here
Aids Out-of-Towners and
Working Mothers

A good neighbor project for
the out-of-towner, especially in
defense areas, is developing into
an important phase of Commu-
nity Center activity, according to
the Jewish Community Center of
Detroit, in a report to the Jewish
Welfare Board, the parent orga-
nization for this and over 300
Jewish Centers and YMHA
groups.
"Many of these people," the re-
port declares, "either come to the
Jewish Community Center be-
cause they belonged to a "Y"
elsewhere, or they are recom-
mended to the institution." As a
result of the influx of workers
into defense cities, many young
men and women—some of them
17 or 18 years old who are away
from home for the first time—
all have a similarity of problems
because of this dislocation.

In addition to the out-of-town-
ers there is the other side of the
picture—the left-behind popula-
tion, which means in many in-
stances, women and girls of alf
ages and working mothers.
"This service fits right in with
the contribution the JWB makes
to the USO program for women
and girls. Organizations like the
JWB and the other constituents
of the USO have stepped in with
service and leadership. Working
women and children whose par-
ents are employed in war plants
have benefitted from this pro-
gram under the care of a com-
mittee headed by Mrs. Samuel R.
Glogower, president of the De-
troit Jewish Center."
