Boss and Volunteer
You guessed it. The lady re-
ferred to is none other than our
own Mrs. Henry Wineman, and
she is both boss and a very hard
working volunteer of USO. De-
spite the fact that she is a
director and member of the
executive committee of Metro-
politan Detroit USO, Mrs. Wine-
man has, ever since Pearl Harbor,
spent untold hours each week at
the Downtown USO Club and
Michigan Central Lounge, sewing
for boys and girls in uniform,
serving at snack bars, arranging
Home Hospitality and home
cooked dinners for lads away
from home, plus a hundred and
one other typical USO jobs. •

is also a vice-president of the De- the constituent agencies of USO,
is not a picayune job, as in ad-
dition to the regular problems of
those stranded and runaways,
there has been a definite war time
program—establishment of USO-
Travelers Aid facilities for troops-
in-transit, and men and women
of the armed forces of the United
Nations, who are on furlough,
information facilities for service-
men, their families and relatives,
with a definite increase in the
inquiries for housing, street
directions and other information
for strangers who come to work
in Detroit war industries.
Full Time Job
Being a director and worker
in all these activities is today,
naturally, a full time job for Mrs.
Wineman, although she does find
time for a very full personal life
and contacts with her family, her
special interest being Henry
Wineman II, her grandson of a
little more than a year old.
Mr. Wineman is the head of
Peoples Outfitting Company.
Their son is an officer in the
Army Ordnance, , while their
daughter is married and living
in New Orleans. Mrs. Wineman
has been featured as "Woman of
the Week" by Detroit Free Press,
and has been similarly acclaimed
by many other publications. Dur-
ing the happy times of peace,
she and her husband travelled
abroad at least a half a dozen
times. Pleasantly she recalls a
beautiful week they spent in
Morroco, an experience which

Happy Birthday to You!

Clarence H. Enggass, 60,
Son of Pioneer Detroiters

A Native Detroiter, He Held Important Posts with Many
Organizations; Won Respect of Community for
His Philanthropic Activities

On his 60th birthday, on July 15, Clarence H. Enggass,
one of the outstanding leaders im Jewish philanthropic work
in Detroit, was on the job as usual, managing the family

business, the Enggass Jewelry
Co., which is one of the land-
marks in the mercantile life of
Detroit.
A native Detroiter, son of
Adolph and Barbara (Hirsch-
man) Enggass, he was educated
in Detroit's schools, entered his
father's business in 1903, be-

CLARENCE H. ENGGASS

came secretary of Enggass Jew-
elry Co. in 1905 and has been
president of the firm since 1923.

From Goebbels Pen?

In his address over the
Rome radio to the Italian
people, on Sunday, Carlo
Scorza, secretary general of
the Italian Fascist party, fol-
lowed the Nazi line by mak-
ing the following attack on
the Jews:
"Italy defends her Catholic
faith, which is endangered
with equal violence by Red
bolshevism and by the sectar-
ian and doctrinal confusion of
the Anglo-Saxons, who are
governed by . Judaism." •

the war news of today brings
back vividly to her.
Would Do More
Asked about her present activi-
ties, her only reply is that she
wishes there were twice as many
hours in the day, and twice as
many days in the week, so that
twice as much constructive war
work could be accomplished, arid
that things could be made more
pleasant for our boys and girls
in uniform. To this objective she
has dedicated herself for the
duration. Although she has pri-
vately expressed the wish "Some
day when peace returns, we can
again live a more normal life,
which I hope is in the very near
future. I would really like to re-
tire from social work, spend my
time with my family and my
home, and have a green house
and raise orchids." But when she
expresses this wish, she usually
adds "I wonder what people with
green houses are going to do for
fuel."

Honored by 'Community
It is not his business acumen
alone that has led, him to a posi-
tion of leadership in the com-
munity. His activities in all
directions for the public good,
his interest in the welfare of the
Jewish people, •his concern that
the sad lot of the underprivil-
eged should be improved, have
brought him the respect of the
entire community.
In turn, devotion such as he
has shown have helped to ele-
vate Detroit Jewry's standards.
A former • president of the
Jewish Welfare Federation of
Detroit, member of the Federa-
tion's executive committee, mem-
ber of the executive committee
of the Jewish Community Coun-
cil, Mr. Enggass also has held
posts on the boards of the fol-
lowing agencies:
Detroit Service Group, United
Jewish Charities, Jewish Social
Service Bureau, Refugee Reset-
tlement Service, Jewish Commu-
nity Center.
Other Affiliations
Mr. ,Enggass is a member of
the executive board of the De-
troit Community Fund. He
serves on the executive com-
mittee of the East Central States
Region of the Council of Jewish

Federations and Welfare Funds.
His other affiliations include:
Retail Merchants Association,
Economic Club, Detroit Museum
of Art Founders' Society, the
Board of Commerce, Grill Club,
Franklin 'Hills Country Club,
Great Lakes Club.
He is a member of the Zion-
ist Organization of America and
has served on the executive com-
mittee of the local organization.
Beth El Founders
The Enggass Family has been
associated with Temple Beth El
since its inception 93 years ago.
The Beth El Society was first
organized in the home of Isaac
Cozens, Mr. Engg as s' great-
grandfather,' in whose home the
congregation first held its serv-
ices.
In 1859, Moses Hirschman, Mr.
Enggass' grandfather, was the
second president of Temple Beth
El. The following year, Mrs.
Enggass' grandfather, Emanuel
Schloss. was the president of the
Temple
Of more than passing interest
is the fact that Clarence's Dar-
ents, although devoted members
of Temple Beth El, preferred
that their son should be Bar
Mitzvah rather than confirmed,
and to complete the Bar Mitz-
vah requirements he studied
daily for an entire year with
Rabbi Louis Grossman, Dr. Leo
M. Franklin's predecessor, and
became Bar Mitzvah in 1896.
Born on Sproat St.
Clarence was born on Sproat
St. off of Woodward Ave. He
loves to tell of sledding down
Cass Ave. on winter afternoons,
during his boyhood, thereby in-
dicating how the city has spread,
after being concentrated in the
present downtown section.
His brother, Maurice A. Eng-
gass, shares with Clarence H.
Enggass the responsibility for
managing the Enggass Jewelry
Co.
