Note Sent to President
on Plight of Jews

A PICTURE OF HAPPINESS—A FOSTER MOTHER AND
HER BABY: Those who desire to help care for homeless
children are asked to communicate with the Jewish Children's
Bureau, 51 W. Warren Ave., CO..1600.

The 'immediate need of finding
a large number of foster homes
for children during the war -per-
iod was stressed by Dean Leonard
Mayo, president of the Child
Welfare League of America, when
he met with representatives of
child. care - ageneies at the - Chil-
dren's Aid Society, 51 W. War-
ren Ave.
Pointing to the 60 per cent in-
crease in requests for boarding
homes, received' by Community
Fund child-care agencies since
the Mist of the year_ as typical
of the trend throughout the coun-
try, Dean Mayo predicted that
requests would leap • to . new
heights as fathers are drafted for
the armed services. -
"Mothers and children cannot
live on the $62 per month allowed
to the families of service men,"
he said. "The mothers will have
to gd to work as an economic
necessity as well as -a patriotic
duty.
Need Foster Homes
"Many mothers here, especially
those with babies under two years
of age, will be forced to find Rill-
time care for their children in
foster homes. It becomes the pa-
triotic duty of those families with
enough space in their houses and
enough affection in their hearts
to give the children the love and
security a home provides."
An average of 3,700 children
per year-have been placed by the
child-caring agencies of Wayne
County during the past 10 years.
Care for this number of children
who need homes in peace or war,
must continue and, in addition,
foster homes must be opened to
those children whose neglect is

due to the war emergency, Dean
Mayo pointed out.
None of the children, neither
the social refugees of the war,
nor those who cannot live with
their 'own parents at any time,
may be adopted. Most of the chil-
dren have one or both parents
living and many return to them
at some later date.
Foster Parents Paid
Foster parents are paid a sum
sufficient to take care of the chil-
dren's daily needs. In addition,
medical, hospital and dental serv-
ice, as well as clothing, are pro-
vided for the children.
Typical of the problem of
facing child-care agencies is that
of the Jewish Children's. Bureau,
which cares for 125 children and
which always has need for addi-
tional foster homes. .
Fred M. Butzel is president of
the Jewish Children's Bureau.
Miss Clarice Freud is director.
Those who wish to serve as
foster parents are asked to write
the bureau, 51 W. Warren Ave.,
or call Miss Freud at CO. 1600.

Prepare for Zion
Flower Days Here

Mass support for extending the
land foundation of the Jewish
National Home and for increas-
ing Jewish Palestine's agricul-
tural output for the United Na-
tions' war effort in the Middle
East will be sought and obtained
in all parts of the United States
in connection with the observ-
ance of Palestine Flower days in
Detroit, June 5 and 6.
A corps of volunteers recruited
from among - the membership of
the various Zionist youth groups,
as well as pupils of Hebrew
Schools, will "sell" Zion flowers
or colorful "flower" receipts to
contributors.

ISrael on April 4: It was
signed; in behalf of the children,
by. Herman N. Robinson of 2051
Calvert Ave., to whom a reply
in behalf of the White House .
was sent by Hugh S. Fullerton,
assistant chief of the Division of
European Affairs of the Depart-
ment of State.
Fullerton's Reply
Mr. Fullerton's reply follows:
"The receipt is acknowledged,
by reference from the White
House to your letter of recent
date in regard to the Jews suf-
fering under German rule.
. "The unhappy plight of these
unfortunate people has received
and is receiving the earnest and
sympathetic attention of the Am-
• •
erican
government. I assure you
that all possible measures to al-
leviate their condition are being
given full. consideration. Natur-
ally such measures must be con-
sidered in the light of their re-
lation to the war and . what is
possible i in the war situation.
"Assistance is now being ex-
tended by various agencies to
those refugees who have man-
aged to escape from occupied
Europe to neutral countries. The
problems presented in connec-
tion with any proposal to rescue
those still in countries under
German control remain to be
solved. It is apparent- that the
known attitude of the German
government makes' any com-
pletely satisfactory solution to
those problems under war con-
ditions virtually impossible.
Press Release
"There is enclosed a copy of a
press release issued by the De-
partment of State on March 3,
1943 which sets forth the mea-
sures taken by the government
of the United States in order to
relieve the distress of the peo-
ple of occupied Europe."
The enclosure referred to in
Mr. Fullerton's letter is the text
of the note delivered to the
British government by the sec-
retary of state on Feb. 25, out-
lining a plan of action for aid
to refugees. This note is believed
to have led to the calling of the
Bermuda Conference.
Herman N. Robinson is a stu-
dent in the Hebrew High School.
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Robinson.
