Local Bnai Brith Women Conduct
All-Out Drive for New Members
Nineteen chapters of the
Greater Detroit Women's Council
of Bnai Brith this week em-
barked on a° membership cam-
paign to "Build Bnai Brith."
A Council spokesman stated
that the drive for membership,
in keeping with the all-out na-
tional campaign, will enable
Bnai Brith to continue and ex-
pand its program of aid to
Jewry, Jewish families, to coun-
try and humanity.
By uniting for action, the
spokesman pointed out, Bnai
Brith fights anti-Semitism,
builds goodwill through inter-
faith activity, provides students
on college campuses with Jewish
identity (through Hillel Founda-
tion) ; helps the people of Israel,
maintains welfare institutions
and serves the armed forces and
disabled veterans.
As an added incentive, awards
will be made by most chapters
to the women bringing in the
most new members or conserv-
ing the most present members.
Oakton Manor Resort at Lake
Pewaukee, Wis., is cooperating
with the awards committee in
making available weekend vaca-
tions for two for each chapter
to the women who lead in these
departments.
Meetings this week will be
held by the following chapters:

Youth Aliyah Scenes Depicted
In Hadassah Minyan Drive Display
Mrs. LOUIS REDSTONE, left, Detroit Chapter of Hadassah
chairman of Minyan, and Mrs. MAX YORK, co-chairman, view an
unusual window display brought here from New York in honor of
the 20th anniversary of the Youth Aliyah program of child rescue.
The display, at 19118 Livernois, consists of an oil painting as a
backdrop, several enlarged reproductions of actual Youth Aliyah
scenes in Israeli settlements and five figurines depicting Israel's
welcome to Jewish refugee children from all 72 countries in the
world, from which they have come during the past 20 years. Ha-
dassah's Minyan drive, now in progress, is designed to enlist "Min-
yan Mothers" who contribute $24 a year toward the support of one
child. Already over 62,000 children have been cared for under this
program. The display will continue through the end of the month.
