An essay, "The Jews and I,"
won a $2 first prize at Redford
High School for Joanne Machin,
grandaughter of J. D. Runkle,
Crowley Milner Co. executive.
The school paper, "The Out-
post," reprinted her essay in
full, with the comment that
"Joanne's essay attacks the root
of all prejudice—ignorance and
the gang spirit. What she says
about anti-Semitism could be
applied to the thoughtless and
unreasonable attitudes others of
us may be taking" towards min-
ority groups.
Joanne describes herself as
"a typical Aryan, blonde,haired
and blue-eyed," who went to a
school predominantly Jewish in
enrollment, where she learned
that "the Jews are not success-
ful in business or scholarship
because they cheat, lie, or are
loud-mouthed pushers."
Instead, she saw that Jewish
children's goals are similar to
those that most people have.
perhaps being more "diligent" at
working to obtain them.
Joanne apparently was moti-
vated to write her essay because
of the rampant anti-Semitism
she discovered among her fel-
low Christians at another school.
Impressed with the fact that
her previous contacts with Jews
exiled her from elements of her
new schoolmates, she discovered
that "the children -with the
strongest prejudices had never
known a Jew. . . ."
"Where do these ideas come
from? • . . no child is born with

any feeling against any color or
creed. . . Our attitudes are most
strongly shaped in our homes
and I'm grateful to be growing
in a home where I am learning
respect for all people. . ." her
essay continued.
Joanne - gives much of the
credit for her opportunity to
learn respect and tolerance for
all peoples to the influence
exerted over her by her Jewish.
music teachers, Mr. and Mrs.
Julius Chajes.
H e r concluding paragraph.
reads: "Whenever I hear any
racial, religious, or colored group
persecuted, I think how lucky
I am and remind myself that
`There but for the grace of God
go I'."
The judge's comment on the
essay states that it is "blunt and
harsh," that, "it hurts as a
child's frankness can hurt."

during part of this period, the
Agency placed 270 refugees in
'jobs, compared to 142 for the
