All Detroit Jews should assist in making an outstanding success of
the annual Balfour Ball of the Zionist Organization of Detroit to be held
at Hotel Statler on Saturday night, November 15. As an old-time Zionist,
I am more convinced today than ever before that we must strengthen
the Zionist Organization as a weapon for the defense of Israel.
At the same time, I urge that the Balfour Ball should be
turned into a big success so that Detroit's beautiful Zionist House on
Linwood and Lawrence should be able to function properly, to serve as
a cultural Zionist center and to house all Zionist activities. .
I sincerely hope that all my Detroit fellow Jews will help in this an-
nual project and that I shall see all my friends at the Balfour Ball on
November 15.
