of Organization fo Aid
Recent Refugees

Under the honorary chairman-
hip of Fred M. Butzel, a branch
f "SELFHELP," an organization
i f recent emigres from Central
urope, has been founded in De-
roit. The New York mother or-
ariization was created in 1936.
The local chapter is headed by
n executive committee consist-
g of Dr. Gabriel Steiner, Pro-
essor at Wayne University, as
resident; Dr. Samson R. Weiss,
can of the local Yeshivah, as
ice-President; Mrs. Herman . H.

ohn J. Leopold as Secretary.
SELFHELP extends to its
embers financial and practical

ustrnent to their new surround-
gs. The Detroit group also is
ngaged in sending clothes to
urope; in co-operation with the
omen of Gemiluth Chasodim,

ied by the Axis. .
Education of members for citi-
enship and getting them ac-
uainted with the. American
cene by cultural and social
unctions takes a large place in
he program of SELFHELP.
The basic idea behind the or-
anization is to rely as little as
ossible on the charity of others,
ut to form a group of people
ho, by their common fate and
xperience, are willing to under-
ake a common responsibility for
hemselves and their brothers.
