Heymans Return From Palestine,
Describe Great Achievements
The Heymans—Mr. and Mrs.
Samuel N. and daughter, Judith
B.—of 4031 Glendale, speak of
the work of Palestinian Jewry
as the sort of miracle which must
be seen to be appreciated.
"No one can possibly put into
--words the impressions that are
gotten from the great achieve-
ments in the Homeland," Mr.
Heyman, a General Motors exe-
cutive, stated. "The nearly three
months we have spent in Pales-
tine have given us the required
faith, which motivates the ac-
tions of all Palestinians, to be-
lieve that nothing can destroy
the Yishuv."
Revolutionary Changes
Mr. Heyman pointed out that
since he was in Palestine last—
about 21 years ago—he has seen
changes in the cities and colonies
which have revolutionized the
country.
The Heymans speak glowingly
of the vision, creative force and
stick-to-it-iveness of the Pales-
tinians. "Nothing deters them
from their objectives," Mr. Hey-
man said.
Mrs. Heyman said she was im-
pressed with the picturesqueness
of Jerusalem, with the sturdiness

of the children, with the cleanli-
ness of the colonies.
Great Achievements
"The love and affection show-
ered upon the children, the
thoroughness with which their
education is pursued, is one of
the most remarkable things about
Palestine," Mrs. Heyman said.
"Naturally, as a Jewish National
Fund worker, I was impressed
with the great achievements of
the land-redemption fund, whose
work must be pursued without
let-up."
Miss Heyman, a 1947 Shaarey
Zedek consecrant, said she was
impressed with the activities of
the youth, that she loved the de-
votion to sports by Palestinian
youth and that she enjoyed the
soccer games of Hapoel and Mac-
cabi. "I am looking forward to
the Hapoel game in Detroit on
June 15, after seeing what won-
derful athletes Palestine pro-
duces," she said.
Mr. Heyman, a native of Jeru-
salem, came to this country at
the age of 7. He is a graduate
of Massachusetts Institute of
Technology and has been asso-
ciated with Fisher Body Corp.
Herman Jacobs Elected
Social Work President
Herman Jacobs, executive di-
rector of the Jewish Community
Center, was elected president of
the Social Workers' Club of De-
troit, at the final meeting of the
1946-1947 season held May 14.
A member of the club since
1936, Jacobs previously has served
as first vice president and as a
member of the Executive Com-
mittee. In addition this year he
was asked to take on the chair-
manship of the Scholarship Com-
mittee to develop plans for ren-
dering financial- assistance to stu-
dents of local social work schools.

and General Motors for more than
20 years.
The Heymans stated that the
Irgun activities have placed the
Yishuv in a state of turmoil, with
the result that no one knows from
day to day whose property will
be affected or whose children
will be under arrest. Like others
returning from Palestine, they
stated that more than 90 per cent
of the Yishuv is opposed to the
Irgunist activities.
It's been said that a wedge of Mrs.
Ballard's lemon meringue would
soften the hearts of the wicked,
cause strong men to cry like babies and encourage bosses
to hand out liberal raises. Imagine, then, Mrs. Ballard's
dismay when her electric range broke down the very
day her own husband's boss was coming to dinner!
