Alter Yelsky, 84-year-old New Yorker, weeps when his dream
of more than 50 years for a reunion with his daughters is finally
brought to a touching realization at the shelter of HIAS, the
Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, in New York. In 1900 the old
man left his native Poland and his family. The two daughters
grew up, the wife died at the hands of the Nazis, and the girls
were forced into hiding. A year and a half ago he came to HIAS,
told an official that he was dying from an incurable disease and
begged them to locate his daughters; whom he had not seen for
50 years. He lived only for the time when he could see them once
more, he said. BIAS found them for him, and when the girls,
now middle-aged women, arrived in New York recently from the
DP camp where they had been for nearly five years, Yelsky was
reunited at last with his children. They are Sonja Ceitlin, 57,
(left) and Ryvka Trokinski, 53, (right). The little girl standing
behind Yelsky is his granddaughter, Cibora Ceitlin,• 14.

Lack of shoes and clothing is
the cause of one out of every

schools, according to investiga-
tions made by the school at-
tendance and census for the
Board of Education, to empha-
size the importance of the
Spring Public School Clothing
Drive which starts Monday in
Detroit and Wayne County Pub-
lic school s, and continues
through April 27. Contributions
by the public of their discarded
shoes and clothing are used to
clothe the needy school chil-
dren.
The drive is sponsored in De-
troit by the public schools social
service committee, of which
Hennigar is chairman, and in
the county by the Wayne Coun-
ty Board of Education with
G. E. Matthews in charge. The
Volunteers of America cooperate
in the drive by cleaning and
repairing garments contributed
and giving them without charge
to needy children certified by
attendance officers as absent
because parents cannot afford
to clothe them.
Hennigar pointed out that ab-
sences caused by poverty in-
creased 23 per cent during the
last school year, mostly because
of the present inflation. As the
principal cause of absence it
has now reached 33 per cent of
the total absences with sickness
only 19 per cent.

in front of it and you have the
latest winner of the Academy
Award.
It has been a long trip from
the Lying-in Hospital in New
York to the bright stardom of
"Born Yesterday" and for Judy
Holliday it has been a journey
full of long stretches of hoping
and sudden bursts of fame.
A true New Yorker, she re-
fuses . to live in Hollywood and
scorns its unique ways of doing
things. A child with an IQ of
170, Judy has grown up to love
double-crostics, tough cross-
word puzzles and similar kinds
of mental relaxation.
Born Judith Tuvim, her
mother was a piano teacher, and
her father, Abraham Turvim,
was a fund-raiser for Jewish
causes.
Miss Holliday's intellectual in-
terests were developed largely
by her uncle, Joseph Gollomb :
novelist, biographer and author
of a novel on Jewish immigrant
family life in the United States.
Probably one of the first times
she faced the camera was as a
five-year-old mascot for a Jew-
ish soccer team in 1925. Among
her admirers in that role were
Nathan Strauss, the famous
philanthropist and Anna Rosen-
I.-- .. .
