Harry Keidan: Chapter
Elects Mrs. S. Wexler

More than 300 members of the Women's Division of the
Harry B. Keidan Chapter, Bnai
Detroit Section of the American Jewish Congress heard their Brith Women, announces the fol-
national president, Judge Justine Wise Polier, urge them to lowing new officers for the corn-
stand up for their rights as individuals and as Americans, at ing year:
President, Mrs. Samuel Wexler;
the annual Division luncheon meeting May 19 at Masonic

Temple.
"Members of a minority group
must not accept second-class
citizenship," Judge Polier em-
phasized. She described the pro-
gram of the American Jewish
Congress, as positive, rather than
negative, a program through
which American Jews have an
opportunity to back up the rights
of all minority groups, instead
of merely appeasing or fighting
back at the discriminations of
majority groups.
From her own experiences as
judge of the Domestic Relations
Court of New York, Judge Polier
described the evolution of delin-
quency in children, based pri-
marily on economic or emotional
insecurity. "These insecurities
cause conflicts within the child,
causing him to strike back at
society in the forms we call de-
linquency," she explained.
Adults 'Strike Back'
In similar fashion, adults com-
bat insecurity by striking back
at less powerful individuals or
minority groups, the speaker de-
clared, adding that it is the duty
of both majority and minority
groups" to eliminate the forces
that stand between American
ideals and the extension and
deepening of democracy in Amer-
ica."
-
As part of AJC's positive pro-
gram toward security for minori-
ties, Judge Polier mentioned es-
pecially the Congress Houses in
this country and abroad, at which
refugees and orphaned children
are welcomed, sheltered, and
made to feel that they are still
wanted • by the Jews of the
world.
"By ignoring or accepting in-
tolerance, Jews only endanger
themselves. The only way to fight
intolerance is - to voice our
opinions, make our side heard.
Unless we do so, we only add to
the power of those exercising dis-
crimination," Judge Polier con-
cluded.
