(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 .

From a penny whistle to the world's foremost woman trumpet player was the span taken by Valaida Snow, now at the Elm- wood Hotql, Windsor, between the ages of three and sixteen. The development of her singing voice also came during this per- iod, for it was her habit while learning to play instruments, to first sing the Melodies. Since then Valaida has extend-. ed her cultural attainments in. many directions. Some • of her paintings have been exhibited in London and Paris. She has learn- ed to speak seven languages, and has staged, designed and cos- tumed productions at the famous Cotton Club , in LOS Angeles and the Grand Terrace in Chicago.

McNICHOLS still larger area of service for 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- INSURED Haber Confers with Kendall CURRENT RATE VIENNA, (JTA)—Major Gen- American Savings eral Paul Kendall, commanding general of the American zone of & Loan Association Austria, and Prof. William Hab- Your Neighborhood er, advisor on Jewish affairs to Savings Institution the U.
