Scarcely an evening passei at the Detroit Jewish Community Center :without the appearance, and active partici- pation in activities, of a group of Windsor youngsters. During the past summer, . this partici- pation has been better organ- ized and more highly formal- ized; there are now "Windsor nights" with 'carefully planned programs in the Detroit Center. Conversely, Windsor's youth activities invariably include a large influx of young Detroiters. The- large number of marriages that have taken place in recent years between the Jewish youth of the two communities is a natural outgrowth of these in- tercommunity social and recre- ational activities. In many fields of the social services, each coMmunityhaS tendered service to, 'Other. to. 4 degree surely unparalleled.else- where. For examPle, several dozen Windsor youngsters-,liaye'received an invaluable vocational Counsel' ing service at Detroit's :Jewish i Vocational Service.. Conversely, a steady and . increasingly great stream of DetroiterS and, for that matter, persons from all over the United States, have come to the Windsor Jewish Community Council for advice and assistance in bringing to Canada their Euro- pean relatives who are ineligible, for one reason or another, for ad- mittance to the united States. During the year 5708, nearly 600 interviews were held. with De- troiters and other Americans on immigfation matters by the Windsor Jewish ComMunity Council. Impressive indeed is the working together of the Detroit and Windsor Jewish Commun- iity Councils. The huge inter- change of visitors between the two countries has brought to the attention of each Com- munity Council a number of instances 'of need in the field of community relations where HAIFA (Palcor)—The world's youngest international air line— "Israel Air"—will soon inaugurate regular service between Israel and Europe, financed entirely by Jewish capital and manned by all-Jewish crews. "Israel Air" plans to have flights daily, ex- cept Saturday, with 26-passenger Dakota transport planes carry- ing a crew of five. Hand-picked hostesses will serve Kosher Meals to passengers. Pan-African Air Ways, a Union of South Africa firm which fostered the Israeli venture, will aid the new air line technically. Israeli planes will fly 'under .PAA sponsorship in countries which have not yet recognized the Jewish State. "Israel Air" pilots include pioneers of Jewish civil aviation and veterans of both world wars. The man at the controls of the line's first plane, a C-47, was Kurt Xatzenstein, one of the German Air Force's ace fighter pilots in World War_ One who, as an officer in Richtofen's "Fly- ing Circus" taught Goering how to fly. Katzenstein has 16,0 -00 flying hours to his credit. Greetings From JOS. E. DRUCKER Insurance Underwriter. 13133 Dexter HO. 0625 Israel Buys Goods Here Katzen to Assist G. 0. P. Washingtbn, D. C.

"What sin is it that you have committed?" asked the rabbi. "Well, you see, Rabbi, once I ate without making a benedic- tion." "Why did you eat without first reciting the benediction?" asked the rabbi. "Well, you see, Rabbi, it hap- pened that I was eating pork." "Eating pork!" exclaimed the rabbi aghast "what was the idea of eating pork?" ."Well," said the Jew, "you see it was Yom Kippur, and all the Jewish restaurants were closed." • Best Wishes 1948 - 5709 For a HAPPY NEW YEAR Happy New Year To the "Where Driving Pleasure Begins" JEWISH COMMUNITIES AND MICHIGAN GOLDHAR-ZIMMER MOTOR SALES, INC.
