A wartime "Park Your Child" project to relieve busy
mothers in the 12th St. area has blossomed into. a five-day
play school for three-to-five-year-olds, under the sponsorship
of the 12th St. Council Center.

Jewish parents have a respons-
ibility to introduce their children
to the poSitive values of Jewish
life so that their sons and daugh,
ters will not be dismayed by the
negative challenge of the Jewish
world situation.
This was the theme of the 'Sym-
posium on Jewish education pre-
sented as a formal conclusion to
the 21st annual Education Month
by the Hebrew Teachers Organi-
zation of Detroit at a bruncheon
Oct. 19 at the Rose Sittig Cohen
Bldg., attended by Hebrew teach-
ers, board members of the United
Hebrew Schools and parents.
Featured speakers Rabbi A. M.
Hershman and Philip Slomovitz,
board member of - the schools and
past chairman of Education
Month, pointed out that Jewish
tradition is "all we have to offer
our children since, with Judaism,
it is a blessing to be a Jew."
Slornovitz added that while Edu-
cation Month serves to reinspire
teachers and interested parents,
Jewish education must become a
12-month concern in order to
prepare Jewish children to meet
special problems which will face
them as Jews.
Praising the role of teachers as
"foundations of humanity," Abe
Kasle, president of the United
Hebrew Schools, expressed the
hope that the community will be
able to achieve adeqUate compen-
sation and old age security for
teachers in Jewish education.
Also included on the program
were chairman Joseph Haggai of
the United Hebrew Schools fa-
culty, Bernard Isaacs, UHS sup- •
erintendent, and A. J. Lachover.
Cantor Hyman J. Adler of Cong.
Bnai David,• accompanied by
Bella Goldberg, presented a spe-
cial program of a group of •Pal-
estinian songs.
