Mother's Clubs' 30th Anniversary To be Honored at Dinner Jan. 24 Immigrant mothers of 30 years ago who formed a club to share their experiences and problems of adjustment to the new world, next week will celebrate a mile- stone in a continuous program of self-development and educa- tion. Seven charter members who have been continuously active in the Mothers' Clubs of the Jewish Community Center will be honored at the 30th an- niversary banquet, Wednesday evening, at the Woodward Cen- ter. A house to house canvass to turn up students for an English class at the old Han- na/7, Schloss Institute led to the first Mothers' Club. The canvasser, Mary Caplan, still directs the Mothers' Clubs' program. The canvass disclosed - that would-be students needed a place to leave their children. A companion class for English stu- dents' pre-school • children was then opened at the : Hannah Schloss. So, today, new Ameri- cans and nursery age children attend parallel classes at 12th Street Council Center. Soon the immigrant mothers began to attend club meetings at the Schloss Institute with their infants in tow. Cooking classes were added, with the objective of introduc- ing vegetables into the immi- grant diet. Then came sewing classes, arts and crafts and Simple calisthenics for health. In 1922, the Cable Act was passed, deny in g automatic citizenship to Wives of citizens. Citizenship classes were added to the Mothers' Club program. A member of the club, Rose Granitz, became the first Jew- ish woman to acquire citizen- ship under the Cable Act. When the first heavy concen- Stanley Michaels Heads Michigan Camping Assn.

An Oakland Mothers' Club, A Fenkell Club, 12th Street Club and Dexter Club were organized and met in members' homes, with special events in neighborhood school buildings. In 1926, when a Cen- ter building was opened on Mel- bourne near Woodward, the Mothers' Clubs moved their headquarters there, and in 1934 to the present main building on Woodward. In 1923, the Mothers' Clubs rented a group of cottages to conduct a camp for mothers and young children. They con- ducted the camp for five years without outside help, until the Jewish Welfare Fed- eration purchased and built the present Camp Chelsea. In 1925, when Detroit organiz- ed a Civic Pride Association tdi conduct the first city wide clean- up, paint-up campaign, the in- experienced immigrant Mothers were responsible for the entire Oakland section. In 1937, the clubs carried on a demonstration garden project in the Dexter area, on three lots on • Humphrey between Dexter and Holmur. This • project was followed by many neighborhood gardens and by the thrift gar- dens of World War II. Mrs. Sidney J. Allen, who serv- ed as chairman of the advisory committee six years, and Mrs. Miriam Van Baelen, another committee member, have played vital roles in the Mothers' pro- gram of self-development. Mrs. Ida Drapkin, a charter member, is designated as dean of the Mothers' Clubs for the leadership she has ' demonstrated as chairman of 'the Mothers' Clubs Council. Other charter members include Mrs. Sarah Avrin, former president of the Fenkell Mothers' Club, Mrs. Rose Granitz, Mrs. Bessie Caron, Mrs. Gittel Garber, Mrs. Mina Kram- er and Mrs. Eva Lang. Mrs. William New is chairman of arrangement for the Moth- ers' Clubs banquet. She is as- sisted by a committee of past presidents of the nine Mothers' Clubs including Mesdames Lud- wig Boraks, Simeon Freedman, Stella Goldman, Philip Helfman, Charles Levitt, Mack Robins, Charles Rubel, Sam Silverman and Isaac Waldfogel. Invocation at the banquet will be spoken by Mrs. Carrie Sper- ling, a pioneer member. Greet- ings will be extended by Mor- ris Garvett, president . of the Center, and Isidore Sobeloff, di- rector of the Federation. A musical program will be presented by the Center Choral Society, under the direction of Julius Chaj es, with Estelle Pap- pas at the piano. The Center Dance Group, directed by Fan- nie Aronson, will perform. dent of the Michigan Camping Association. Mor e t h an 150 Michigan camps are actively enrolled in the association which works in cooperation with the state's so- cial welfare groups in raising camping standards. Mr. Michaels will play an ac- tive role in the sessions of the American Camping Association in Detroit, at Hotel Statler, Feb. 1-3, and will officially welcome the national officers and the di- rectors from Michigan and 11 neighboring s t at es who are planning to attend the sessions.
