By ISIDORE SOBELOFF Executive Director, Jewish Welfare Federation of 1Jetroit Being a part of the Detroit Jewish community has been! pleasant—and I go to my special war-time assignment in New York with reluctance to discontinue, even if only temporarity, such friendly associations. Detroit is a young community. In fact it is many com- munities—a community of contributors, a community of communal workers, a community of people giving service, and a community being served: All of these groups are part of the Jewish community interests included in the Federa- tion program. To have been identified with all of these groups has been a privilege for which I . am thankful. If Detroit gradually has assumed a definite and savored place among the centers of Jewish life, it is because the various ments of our population, as individuals and as groups, have made this growth possible. In bidding you farewell, I want to express my gratitude and to say "au revoir." Discuss Conference Plans Many organizations and congregations are call- ing meetings to discuss conference problems. In- formation may be - secured by calling the local election committee's office, 5737 Second Blvd., TR. 2-4080.

Last Sunday the labor Zionist groups held a meeting for this purpose, ail-id the Mizrachi or- ganization heard an address by Leon Gellman, national president.
