Mothers' Clubs to Celebrate Jewish Center Histadrut Campaign Rally
25th Anniversary on Tuesday Activities
Will Hear Pines Thursday
Banquet as Jewish Community Center Auditorium to Mark
Silver Jubilee of Organization; History of Women's
Movement to Be Recalled in Pageant
A banquet celebrating the sil-
ver anniversary of the Mothers'
Clubs will be held next Tuesday
evening in the auditorium of the
Jewish Community Center.
Among the guests of honor will
be Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Rubi-
ner, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Ja-
cobs, Mrs. Samuel Aaron, and
Mrs. Sidney J. Allen.
The long story of the Mothers'
Clubs includes the activities of
the leaders in the community-
who helped to maintain the
work of this department. Among
them are: Fred M. Butzel,
Blanche Hart, who was head
of the United Jewish Charities
. (predecessor to the Jewish Wel-
fare Federation) and Milton M.
Alexander. The latter has fre-
quently been referred to as the
"father of the Mothers' Clubs",
because of his continued leader-
ship, first, as chairman of the ed-
ucation committee of the United
Jewish Charities under whose
auspices the Mothers' Clubs were
founded, and later as president
of the Detroit Jewish Centers As-
sociation.
Inthe early 30's when further
stimulation was needed, a Moth-
ers' Clubs advisory board was
formed. The first chairman was
Mrs. Andrew Wineman. During
her regime, many social and cul-
tural features were introduced,
such as monthly teas, oratorical
contests, etc.
Mrs. Oscar. Robinson, who fol-
lowed Mrs. Wineman, stimulated
the creation of a "garden pro-
ject" on Humphrey between Dex-
ter and Holmur. For several
years the mothers who partici-
pated in the project not only en-
joyed a healthful activity in the
out-of-doors, but were them-
selves rewarded economically
when their tables were filled with
fresh vegetables during that post-
depression period.
From 1938 to 1945 Mrs. Sidney
J. Allen was the chairman.
Under her leadership, the com-
mittee's outstanding achievement
was the revival of the camp for
mothers and children in Chelsea,
Mich. The new chairman is Mrs.
Samuel Aaron.
A special feature at the dinner
will be a historical pageant writ-
ten for the occasion by Mrs.
Rose Schreidell and Mrs. Pearl
Miller. The music for the pag-
eant will be directed by Rhoda
Zahavi.

An exhaustive study by Allen
Shoenfield of The Detroit News
staff reveals an alarming situation
in Michigan.
Teachers are leaving, buildings
are deteriorating. From one-room
schoolhouse to state university,
education is being starved by neg-
lect, lack of funds and political
scheming. Education is at a crisis.
What are you going to do about it? First, read the Shoenfield
articles. Dr. Eugene B. Elliott, state superintendent of public
instruction, says: "I think this is the best popular exposition of
the school problem I have ever seen in print."
