By Mrs. Earl (Jaye) Hordes
In Detroit Jewry's observation
and grateful acceptance of an
official and heralded civic re-
ception for Prime Minister David
Ben-Gurion, let us not forget
that only through the keen,
alert, and time-consuming ef-
forts of one of our city officials,
did this magnificent program
crystallize.
This man is Councilman
Charles Oakman. He needed no
more than a brief introduction
to the purposes of Israel's $500,-
000,000 bond issue to become
more than sympathetic toward
its aims. He became vitally ab-
sorbed in working toward wide
public recognition of it—also to
work on the resolution that the
entire legislative body of the
City of Detroit give a vote of
confidence and plan official rec=
o g n i t i o n and acceptance of
Prime Minister Ben - Gurion's
presence and to invite the Prime
Minister to publicly and offi-
cially tell the city government
about the Bond Issue from the
roster in Common Council's
chambers.

The scroll was signed by Sam-
uel H. Rubiner, president of the
Jewish Welfare Federation,
sponsoring organization of the
campaign, Harvey H. Goldman,
president of the Detroit Service
Group, Isidore Sobeloff, Federa-
tion executive director, and
Kasle.
First section in the division
to reach 100% of its 1950 total,
the Builders' group was awarded
a certificate of merit by Kasle,
Laven and Robinson, with spe-
cial notice given to the work of
the Section chairmen Louis Al-
per, Abe Green, Theodore Kelter
and Morris Wittus.

26th Annual
Concert

And Historical Society

By Allen A. Warsen

Director, Adas Shalom Religious School.

The Detroit JewiSh commun-
ity should also commemorate
the "250th Anniversary of the
World's Motor City" by estab-
lishing certain cultural institu-
tions. I should suggest that the
Jewish Welfare Federation take
the initiative and establish a
Bureau of Jewish Education, the
kind all major Jewish commun-
ities in the United States have;
and the Jewish Community
Council take the initiative and
form a Jewish Historical Society
for the purpose off recording and
interpreting Jewish life in De-
troit.

main streets.
Contingents of colorfully clad
Bedouins and Druzes marched
