Report Britons Serving
As Kenya Camp Guards
LONDON. (JTA) — A report
from Nairobi, capital of Kenya,
said that British guards have
been ordered - to replace .Africans
in the Gilgil detention camp
where about 250 Palestinian Jews
are being held as political prison-
ers. The new move was allegedly
taken because the Jewish detain-
ees are said to be restive. over the
fact that their promised repa-
triation to Palestine has been
cancelled for the duration of the
truce period.
British Fascist Leader
Quits Mosley's Movement
LONDON, (JTA) — Michael
McLean, leader of the fascist
British Union Movement of Bir-
mingham, resigned with a blast
against Sir Oswald Mosley and
the purposes of his group.
Calling the movement "noth-
ing more than a gangster organi-
zation," McLean stated: "I am
confronted by the positive fact
that anti-Semitism is its prin-
cipal weapon—the only weapon
fascism has capable of creating
the sort of organization that Mos-
ley and his henchmen need."
"Is There a Job for the lay-
man in Social Welfare" was the
subject of a talk given by Mrs.
Charles Lakoff, president of the
Detroit Jewish Social Service Bu-
reau, at the recent National Con-
ference of Jewish Social Welfare
meeting in Atlantic City.
The following are excerpts
from her speech:
I think there is a job for the
layman in the field of social
welfare—and I don't think it
need, interfere with the job, of
anyone else.
1 am fully aware that there
are other kinds of volunteer ser-
vice beside that of Board mem-
bership. But in a case work
agency, with its highly special-
ized procedures, it isn't always
possible to make room for the
volunteer in other than an ad-
visory capacity.
A new Board member • of a
casework agency comes to his
duties either with or without
previous experience. In general
a great many of our people
come to us potentially very val-
uable, but immediately unpre-
pared for the job that has to be
done. This job, as I see it, is
quite big and very important..
The basis for this assertion
lies in the nature and function
of our own agency. The Jewish
Social Service Bureau of De-
troit is a private family and chil-
dren's agency serving Detroit's
Jewish population. Our funds
for the maintenance of this pro-
gram are secured from the Com-
munity Chest. Our funds for re-
fugee service are provided by
the Jewish Welfare Federation.
Because we are part of the Jew-
ish Community, as well as the
general community, we have
relationships with both' groups.
If the Board is truly represent-
ative of the community, its think-
ing can be said to be community
thinking; and if it is critical, it
provides a kind of control for
the staff. In these two capa-
cities as a.source of approval and
as a ,,source of criticism, the lay-
man operates to provide stabil ,.
ity for the agency. It is these
two functions, interpretation
outside the agency and stabiliza-
tion within the agency; that give
importance to the Board mem-
ber's job. Beyond that, I see a

It is at this point that our
relationship to the professional
staff begins to have real mean-
ing. The leadership" which the
director and staff of a casework
agency gives to its Board con-
stitutes as important a profes-
sional job, as is the service ren-
dered clients of the agency.
Helping people to see where
progress is needed, how this
need is related to the _total wel-
fare, and what can be done
about it, is insurance for the
continuous development of the

Valaida Snow, now at the Elm-

the ages of three and sixteen.
The development of her singing

Since then Valaida has extend-.

the Board member.
The layman in the private
agency field, even as the citizen
in the public agency fields creates
the conditions within which the
agency may function. What this
can mean in terms of standards
of agency service, personnel
standards and salary standards
is very obvious. But it has wid-
er implications. It affects cud-
geting, goal setting and solicita-
tion. There is a direct relation
between the minds of the peo-
ple who do these jobs and the
results we get. These people
provide the framework within
which professional people oper-
ate. They may, by virtue of their
decisions, give scope to the work
of the professional person or they
may limit him. Theirs is the pow--
er to shape the course of agency
development in the community.
Knowing that Board members
have the opportunity to exercise
this kind of power, I am quite
concerned with what they think
and how they think. If they
come to the agency with vision,
imagination and concern for their
fellowmen already part of their
equipment, affiliation with an
organized _ agency can provide a
channel through which their
ideas may be translated into
reality. Such people are a source
of real strength to an agency
and a community and should be
sought out. Failing that, we
have to consider how more lay-
