brunch of the Young Adult Coun-
cil (Jewish Youth Federation) at
12:30 p. m. this Sunday, at the
Jewish Community Center, ac-
cording to Leonard Baruch, tem-
porary council president.
The response to the brunch in-
vitation has been encouraging to
the members of the steering com-
mittee, elected at a preliminary
meeting last spring, who have
been at work on plans for a per-
manent organization of 'young
adult groups, Baruch declared.
At Sunday's meeting, presi-
dents will be informed of the pro-
gress to date, and will be asked
to send delegates to a forthcoming
"constitutional convention."
Members of the steering com-
mittee are Sol. Schwartz, chair-
man; Marilyn Adler, Baruch,
Natalie Gaines, Ruth M. Levine,
Bernie Schiff, Tybie Schneider
and Miriam Schwartz.
Leaders -of the adult Jewish
community have endorsed the
council project, and the Jewish
Community Center, Jewish Cpm-
munity Council and Jewish Wel-
fare Federation are assisting in
its formation. Yehudaie Rosen-
man, young adult advisor at the
center, is acting as professional

der's banquet, at which Harold E.

Character, Not Color, Counts,
Butzel Tells 12th St. Residents
At a meeting on Oct. 9 at
Hutchins School, attended by
nearly 300 property owners and
residents of the 12th St. area,
the Jewish Community Council
reiterated its desire to promote
harmonious relations among all
people in the neighborhood. Rab-
bi Max J. Wohlgelernter presid-
ed. Speakers included Fred But-
zel, honorary president of the
Jewish Community Council,
Aaron Drook, Council president,
and Oscar Cohen, executive di-
rector.
Mr. Drook struck the keynote
of the evening with a vigorous
pronouncement in favor of a
democratic approach to the prob-
lem presented by the movement
of Negroes into the area. He
stressed the desires of the Coun-
cil that Jews refuse to give in
to artificially stirred-up panic.
Rabbi Wohlgelernter pointed
out that the area involved con-
tained about 40,000 Jews, nearly
half of the Jewish population of
Detroit, and that the Jewish
community has an important
stake in the area because of the
location of synagogues, schools,
businesses, etc. More important,
he said, is he fact that a great
many Jews live there together
preserving cultural values. It
would be difficult to move the
people to another neighborhood
and retain these values.
"We want no ghettos for Jews
or for Negroes either," he de-
clared.
Butzel, in personal reminis-
censes, gave the story of the
neighborhood in which he now
lives which is entirely occupied
by Negroes. "You can have all
sorts of neighbors," said Mr. But-
zel, "but it is possible to get along
with all of them. It is character
that counts, not color."
In the ensuing discussion some
told of their experiences with
Negro householders on the same
block. Nearly all agreed that the
newcomers were making a con-
scientious •effort to improve the
property and are putting a good
deal of money into its upkeep.
The question of property val-
ues came in for a good deal of
discussion. A few people wished
tc sell because they were afraid
that the coming of Negroes would
cause property to depreciate. The
experience of others, however,
showed that property values were
rising and that most houses could
now sell for considerable more
for them. A good deal of
paid for
resentment was expressed about
the practice of some real estate
dealers who persuaded property
owners to sell to them at a mod-
est profit and then turned around
and sold at a much higher price..
It was pointed out that besides
costing the householder a sub-
stantial sum of money, this prac-
tice also helps to spread false
stories about Negroes.
Cohen emphasiked that the
purpose of the meeting was ed-
ucational and expressed the hope
that a Neighborhood Council
could be formed. He said that the
Jewish Community Council is in-
terested in helping to form such
a group and invites inquiry.
Report Liberal
Response to JNF
Synagogue Appeal
Irving W. Schlussel, president
of the Jewish National Fund
Council of Detroit, reported at the
last meeting of the Council that
local synagogues responded liber-
ally to the tradition of append-
ing JNF stamps to admission
cards issued for services during
the Holy Days.
In addition, Schlussel reported,
several synagogues made appeals
for funds to augment the income
of the JNF.
In response to an appeal made
at Congregation Ahavath Achim
by William Hordes, chairman of
the board of the JNF Council, a
sum of money was allocated for
division between JNF, Hadassah
and the Gewerkshaften.
Schlussel spoke for the JNF at
Congregation Shaarey Zion on
Yom Kippur, and at Congregation
Beth Moses on Shemini Atzeret.
At the latter, through the efforts
of the synagogue's president,
Emil Kahn, $100 was raised for
Holy Day stamps and an addi-
tional sum of $100 after Schlus-
sel's adress.
The. JNF is planning several
educational and. holiday events
for the coming months to en-
lighten the community on latest
progress in land redemption in
Palestine and on future needs for
the development of colonies for
the settlement of large numbers
than the original owners had of Jews.
