An illustration of the manner
in which the .Jewish Community
Council combats discriminatory
practices was afforded in the past
few weeks in the case of a local
legal newspaper. The incident is
a demonstration of how the Com-
munity Council, acting on behalf
of the organized Jewish commu-
nity, operates to secure the
elimination of undesirable and
harmful practices, at the same
time making a positive contribu-
tion to better understanding be-
tween Christians and Jews.
This legal newspaper, which
publishes a limited number of
classified ads, was inserting on
occasion ads which preferred
"Gentile", "Christian", and made
discriminatory references. In an
interview with the .managing
editor of the newspaper, it was
pointed out that such references
were unfair and undemocratic
and that the paper was unwit-
tingly helping to reinforce in the
minds of the readers certain atti-
tudes and prejudices which are
unfortunately current in the com-
munity.
The editor saw the cogency of
this view, and confessing that he
had never thought of the matter
in these terms, took immediate
steps to prevent further accept-
ance and appearance of such ref-
erences in hiS paper. Confirming
the agreement eached, the Corn
munity Council subsequently
wrote to the editor as follows:
"We are gratified to know that
your --policy henceforth will be
unequivocal in its rejection of
any advertisements which carry
discriminatory language in them.
We know that in instituting a
policy of this sort, you will be
making an important contribu-
tion to better inter-group rela-
tions in Detroit."
The Community Council has on
previous occasions dealt with
similar instances of discrimina-
tion with gratifying success.
When anyone experiences such
situations, he should contact the
Council office so that the incident
should be investigated and prop-
er action taken.
The sensational announcement made at Knollwood
Country Club party on,July 8, on the occasion of the closing
of the 5th War Loan drive, that members of the club had sold
bonds in the amount of $5,150,000, brought forth the state-

Phi Sigma Nu Sets Bond Record
Left to right, standing: Robert Rollins, Stanley Caplan, Neil
Oppenheim; seated, Herbert Aronsson, Clem Hopp, Howard Keyes.
When final figures are tabu-
lated on the 5th War Loan drive,
the achievement scored by Phi
Sigma Nu Fraternity will un-
doubtedly rank among Detroit's
top* efforts.
Phi Sigma Nu was recently or-
ganized by six high school boys
with the chief purpose to help the
war effort. Their first project
was to make a pledge to Frank
N. Isbey, chairman of Michigan's
War Finance Committee, to sell
$15,000 worth of Bonds in the 5th
War Loan to buy a trainer for the
Army Air Corps. However after
achieving their original goat
they stepped up their efforts and
sold a total of $138,425 worth of
Bonds.
Members of Phi Sigma Nu are:
Stanley Caplan, president; Her-
bert Aronsson, vice - president;
Robert Rollins, secretary; How-
ard Keyes, treasurer; Neil Op-
penheim, sergeant at arms; Clete
Hopp, corresponding secretary.
