munity Chest drive _opened 'Wed-
nesday as all Detroit began a gi-
gantic effort to raise $5,350,000
during the *month-long campaign
for the support of the 125 social
agencies in the. area.
Gov. Kim - Sigler, speaking at
the opening luncheon of the Red
Feather drive at the Book-Cadil-
lac Hotel on Wednesday, empha-
sized the necessity for supporting
the drive and urged that Detroit
live up to its .name ,of "Dynamic
Detroit" .by topping its goal.
A group of Boy Scouts per-
formed Indian- dances and pre-
sented a Red Feather headdress
to John R. Davis, chairman.
Also speaking at the opening
luncheon were Walter C. Laici-
elaw, campaign manager, and
George D. Bailey, president of
the board of directors of the
Community Chest.
. Tuesday night, all Detroit radio
stations joined in an all-star
broadcast. Participating in "This
Is Your Town" was Brace Seem-
- er, who served as master of cere-
monies. From Station WJR came
the Accent on Youth Chorus/ To-
by David, Bud Guest, Harry Wis-
trier and The Hermit (Tobe Grem-
mer). Station WWJ presented
Dave Zimmerman, Tony Weitzel,

was /producer and William J.
Hendricks was chairman for the
show. Mayor Edward J. Jeffries,

plea for the support of the drive.
Women are playing an impor-
tant part in giving to the-Com-
munity Chest, Mrs. Jackson. Bing-
ham, co-chairman of the metro-
politan unit, said. -
"Many wives are realizing that
in spite of having their husbands
make a contribution to the chest
they have individual responsibil-
ity to the community," Mrs. Bing
ham stated: By not attending that
one movie, by not buying that
extra pair of shoes or by length-
ening last year's dress instead of
buying a new one, a woman's
contribution may provide essen-
tials for some youngster who des-
perately needs a home, food and
care, she pointed out.
Approximately 6,000 school
children will attend a, "Red
Feather Prevue" Oct. 23 in the
Fox Theater, which will feature
"A Detroit Newsreel," -"The In-
side Story of the Community
Chest Red Feather Drive," and
"The Red Feather." "Dinah Shore
Sings" will also be shown. The
program is under the direction of
Margaret Sterne of the History
Department of Wayne Univer
sity.

garten, the group organized the
Neugarten. Sunshine Club in her

ical 'aid activities.

_friends make possible the club's
donations of special drugs, truss-
es, braces, glasses, dental care,
orthopedic shoes, wheel chairs,
splints and other medical sup-
plies. All cases are cleared
through the Jewish Social Serv-
ice Bureau and the North End
Clinic.
The Society's most recent gift,
a wheel chair, went to Richard
Chadwick, age six, who lost both
legs last month when he fell off
a moving train near his home.
Richard's plight was described in
the daily papers last week, and
was partially solved' by the Neu-
garten gift.

graphs illustrating the most im-
portant works and projects of
the well-known Detroit architect
and artist, Louis G. Redstone,
who has spent many years in
Palestine where he created out-
standing buildings.
The magazine displays on its
first page the entrance detail
of an apartment building in Tel
AviV, which shows creative
thinking and practical exploita-
tion of lighting and other condi-
tions.
The rest of_ the pictures are con-
cerned with Redstone's work in
Detroit. A study for replanning
of northwest Detroit proves • that
there is much room for improve-
ment in this city. The new stores
of Wilshire Motor Sales and Spitz
Furniture Co. reveal the modern
combination of beauty and use-
Ann
fulness, whereas Peggy
Dress Shop and House of Mod-
ern Chairs indulge in the abund-
ant use of glass which makes the
buildings spacious and gracious.
Of particular interest to Detroit
Jews is Redstone'-s project for the
Beth Shmuel Synagogue, a round
froht which finds a surprising
solution for the entrance doors.
The Lewis Bros. Memorial Chapel
is another example of dignified,
modernistic architecture.
Finally, the rental housing pro-
ject on Elmhurst manifests the
trend toward communal living
and the skillful use of all space
available.
