ennial election and will act on proposed changes in its con- ,
stitution on Tuesday, June 22 at 8:15 p. m. in the auditorium
of the Jewish Community Center, Woodward at Holbrook.
A new set of officers and a new executive committee are
to be elected.

As provided by the Community
Council's Constitution, the nom-
inating committee will propose a
slate of nominees. Additional
nominations may be made from
the floor. Authorized Community
Council delegates will elect the
new administration, which will
determine community policy dur-
ing the next two years.

composed of Henry Abramovitz,
Dr. Leo M. Franklin, Dr. S.
Kleinman, Louis Levine, Mrs.
Louis James Rosenberg, Rabbi
Joshua S. Sperka and Abraham
Srere. Rabbi Sperka will act as
its chairman.
The newly certified delegates,
selected by their organizations to
the. Jewish Community Council
last May, will participate in the
election. All delegates were
either newly chosen or reappoint-
ed for the 1943-45 term. This
meeting will be the first occasion
for the new delegates to act of-
ficially for their organizations.
All delegates • must bring - their
credentials in order to be able
to vote.
At this meeting amendments
to the Council's Constitution will
be proposed, and will be acted
upon. The amendments have
been approved by the executive
committee. They are the results
of a careful analysis of the con-
stitution made by a committee
composed of Joseph Bernstein,
Lawrence Crohn, Morris Garvett,
Myron Keys, Samuel W. Leib
and Louis Rosenzweig.
Proposed Changes
The Constitution Study Com-
mittee proposed the changes on
the basis of six years experience
in the functioning of the Com-
munity Council. They provide for
the enlarging of the Community
Council's Executive Committee;
for placing a limit on the num-
ber of terms which an officer
can serve; for annual elections
of executive committee members,
on a staggered basis; and for a
change in the number of dele-
gates to constitute a quorum.
Following are the proposed
amendments to the Constitution
of the Jewish Community Coun-
cil of Detroit, to be voted on by
delegates at the election meet-
ing, Tuesday, June 22:
