use its resources, particularly for
capital needs in implementing the
social service program in the
community. Two loans totaling
some $65,000 were made during
the course of the year to the
Jewish Rome for Aged to make
it possible to build a corridor
between the original building and
its annex (the former Children's
Home), and to remodel the an-
nex for use as a chronically ill
wing. As the•year ends these im-.
provements are completed and
the capacity of the Home • is in-
creased to upward of 190 resi-:

recognizing the need\ for Jew-
ish nursAng home facilities with
a kosher kitchen, purchased a,
building which was made avail-
able for a private nursing

Hospital Decision . Imminent ,
The year 5708 saw 'the Corn.:
pietion of plans for the construc-

model of the hospital were pre-
sented to Detroit physicians and
contributors to the Hospital As-
soci ation.
Submission of the plans to con-
tractors for bids revealed that
the new hospital, which was or-
iginally planned at a consider-
ably more modest figure, would
cost more than $6,000,000 at to-
day's prices.
As the Hospital Board was con-
fronted with the launching of a
supplementary campaign in order
to initiate construction, it was re-
quested by the Greater Detroit
Hospital Fund to defer its plans
pending consideration of inclu-
sion of the Jewish Hospital in the
Fund. As the year draws to an
end this inclusion seems a likely
possibility. The Hospital's assets
are primarily from pledges made
in the original campaign which
amount to $2,465,000, with $2,-
000,0.00 in cash.
The Hospital Board, the con-
sultant and the architects are
awaiting the imminent decision
of the Greater Detroit Hospital
Pund. Meanwhile, work continues
through a nominating committee
which is reorganizing the board
of directors, a building commit-
tee which is studying the plans,
arid other similar activities.

.ISSB Children's
Department Seeks
Foster Parents

.

There are never enough blue-
eyed little blond girls to fill the
requests of would-be foster par-
ents, but the Jewish Social Serv-
ice Bureau children's department
does have under its wing a num-
ber of lovable children of all
shapes sizes, and coloring who
I need the affection that some of
these people want to lavish on a
boy or girl.
None of these children is
available for , adoption; they, do
have parents, usually, but for
one reason or another they are
unable to receive proper care at
home.
Have you wondered what one
of these children is like? Jackie
is fairly representative of the 130
children who came to the chil-
dren's department last year. He
has a, mother, but his father is
dead and his mother works to
support herself and Jackie. Since
Jackie is only five yea'rs old,
he is just a little too young to
be . left by himself during the
long days and his mother is
hoping that some family will
open their home to her friendly
little boy.
Attractive . and not a. it shy,.
Jackie adjusts readily to other
children. In the security of a
good home, his personality -• will
flower normally and his faith in
people will grow along with him
to balanced adulthood. Little
boys whose mothers do not find
them foster homes and who are
left alone for fearful, neglected
days are not able to grow into
the kind of adults our commun-
ity can look to with pride. It
is to give him this chance for
happy, healthy growth that the
children's department is hoping
to find foster parents for Jackie.
All his foster parents are ask-
ed to give Jackie is care and af-
fection. The children's depart-
- ment will provide medical atten-
tion, will clothe him and • will
pay his foster parents a month-
ly, fee so that the home they give
Jackie will 23.ot mean deprivation
for then-., Ml that the foster
parehts have to give is all that
money cannot but, the children's
department has found, and that
is why this appeal is made to
the community, asking. people
who have room and love for' a
child to call Grace Polansky, at
TR. 2-4080, and tell her that 'they
can take care of Jackie or an-
other child who needs a home.

A Generation of
Service Completed•
The year 5708 saw the death of
three outstanding leaders who'
had long been associated with
community endeavors, the deaths
of Leo Siegel, Fred M. Butzel and
Dr. Leo M. „Franklin. Mr. Siegel
had beep an active member of
the Jewish Hospital Association
board. Mr. Butzel and Dr. Frank-
lin had given top-flight leader-
ship to community endeavors in
Detroit and throughout the na-
tion in their respective fields for
a full generation.
It Adds Up to Us
All of these things, the-gains,
the losses, the achievements, the
disappointments, the promises—
and many more make up the pic-

proportion there is no meaning
Unless this be related to where
we came from and where we are
going.
The Federation and its agen-

Detroit to develop a Jewish life
for themselVeS and their children
and relate that life to the world
around us — the world of Jews
and people in general.

Twenty-six Such Doors
to Serve Detroit

,/
e
Seventy-three years ago there •was a single Sandrs store in
Detroit. Today .there are twenty-six in the metropolitan .area-,

and others are planned for the near future.
This growth has been possible chiefly because the course
laid down by Grandfather Fred Sanders for that first store
still guides the conduct of the organization. His policy was
plain-spoken, but sound: to make only the highest, quality of
products, and to sell them at reasonable prices.-
Because Sanders have held steadfastly to that policy, every
Sanders store is a busy store, standing high in the confidence
and respect of its community. And because we prize the con-
fidence and respect of Detroit, you can be sure that every
Sanders product you buy will be as delicious and wholesome

as it can be made.

standing of all mankind • .

and a year of health and,

happiness.
