by Ronald Boorstein of Grand
Rapids. In the BBG story-telling
contest, Sara Drasin of Grand

tween Lillian Wald and newly-
formed Dr. B. Benedict Glazer

service as a member, and now as
president, of the Infants Service
Group.
But Mrs. May as an author is
a new experience for the many
people who know her and under-
stand the vital work she per-
forms.
The book she has written,
"The Rose Tree That Wouldn't
Bloom and Other Tales," is the
result of constant contact with
the needs of children. It will be
published Jan. 26 by Exposition

years have called .the book both
"refreshing and educational."
Her positive approach to the
problem of • amusing children,
While at the same time educat-
ing them, has brought the com-
ment "a new milestone in cre-
ative amusement for children."
Mrs. May, who has two chil-
dren of her own, Eddie, 16, and
Diane, 13, says that "it was in
their formulative stage that I
began to realize the. importance
of combining their play with a
working knowledge of . better
words."
In compiling the stories, Mrs.
May worked with school children
other than her own, finally cre-
ating a -formula whi.th she tested
on selected groups. "The Rose
Tree That Wouldn't Bloom?' is
an outgrowth of that work.
Mrs. May had no thought of
publishing the stories until aft-
er her husband, Bernard May,
died last year.
"He had faith in it," Mrs. May
explains. And so did the pub-
lishers, Exposition Press, whose
president, Edward Uhlan per-
sonally came to Detroit to ne-
gotiate for the publication of
the book.
Besides her Fork with chil-
dren, Mrs. May also is a member
of the executive committee,
Women's Division of Israel
Bonds; Pisgah Chapter, Bnai
Brjth; and executive committee,
