Dr, Glazer Wins His Fight
To Bar State Resort Bias
Michigan Tourist Council Orders All Bureaus to Check AU
New Literature to Eliminate 'Restricted' Pamphlets from
Racks of Offices Financed by State
Glazer's efforts were to secure
(Continued from Page 1)
In an accompanying letter ad- the deletion from all literature
dressed to Dr. Glazer, informing
him of the action taken to en-
force the Michigan Civil Liber-
ties Law, Mr. Palmer wrote:
Letter to Dr. Glazer
"I am attaching a copy of my
letter to each of the managers
of the Michigan Tourist Council
Information offices with refer-
ence to the distribution of liter-
ature.
"The West Michigan Tourist
and Resort Association will not
accept advertising from this date
tin which contains discriminatory
phraseology. The other regional
associations will probably take
similar action at an early date."
Dr. Glazer's battle to secure
strict adherence to the Michigan
Civil Liberties Law and to assure
withdrawal from circulation of
all material hitherto distributed
by Michigan tourist bureaus be-
gan late in August, when mem-
bers of Temple Beth El whose
brothers are in service of the
U. S. armed forces in Europe and
in the Pacific told him of
humiliating experiences when
they were handed literature from
hotels and resorts, at state-
financed tourist bureaus, stating
that they were operating for
"Gentiles only," or that their
hotels were for "restricted clien-
tele", "selected clientele," etc.
Hits "Nazi" Ideologies
In his sermon at Temple Beth
El on Kol Nidre night, Dr. Glaz-
er deplored the existence of
"Nazi" ideologies in this country
at a time when our men were
fighting against Nazi-Fascism on
all fronts.
Taking the matter up directly
with Gov. Harry F. Kelly, Dr.
Glazer consistently pressed for
action in this matter and secur-
ed the cooperation of Lee J.
Barrett, director of the South
Eastern Tourist Bureau of Mich-
igan. As a result the issue was
taken up for action at a meet-
ing of the Michigan Tourist
Council and Advisory Commit-
tee held on Oct. 13, at Roscom ,
mon, Mich., and the minutes of
that meeting contain the follow-
ing paragraph:
"Mr. Barrett said that repre-
sentations had been made _ to
him about the distribution of
certain Michigan tourist and
resort literature containing
phrases that were alleged to be
discriminatory under the Mich-
igan Civil Liberties Law. After a
lengthy discussion of the sub-
ject, it was agreed that all lit-
erature distributed under the
auspices of the Michigan Tourist
Council must conform with the
Michigan Civil Liberties Law and
that the regional tourist associa-
tions should take such steps as
might be necessary to bring about
full compliance with the law."
Aided by Nate Shapero
Mr. Barrett also had assured
Dr. Glazer that henceforth the
state bureaus would neither ac-
cept nor distribute discriminat-
ing literature.
Nate S. Shapero, president of
Cunningham Drug Stores, was
helpful in bringing the matter
to the attention of the authori-
ties.
The groundwork for Dr. Glaz-
er's efforts was laid about a
year ago by the Jewish Com-
munity Council whose staff suc-
ceeded in having the words
"Gentiles only" blotted out from
literature distributed by the state.
The follow-up results of Dr.
of the terms "restricted clientele"
and "selected clientele"; the as-
surance of a firm stand by the
state and the setting forth of
the state's decisions as policy in
conformity with the existing
Michigan Civil Liberties Law.

Each night of Hanukah, the

accompanied by the singing of
appropriate Hanukah songs, was
conducted in assembly rooms of
the United Hebrew Schools at the
end of each session.
One Hanukah evening was de-
voted to classroom parties at
which the children recited Hanu-
kah poems, sang songs and re-
ceived refreshments. These class-
room parties terminated with one
large assembly at which an elab-
orate program was prepared by
the pupils. The program con-
sisted of the ceremony of light-
ing the candles, recitations,
games, playlets, pageants and
songs.
