May Program At the Home for Aged Reproduced from Sisterhood Art Calendar from Filmstrip "Isaac Mayer Wise: Master Builder of American Judaism." Three hundred years of Jewish We and achievement in North America are being commemor- ated by the Sisterhood Art Cal- endar for the Jewish year 5715 (1954-55), announced Mrs. Hugo Dalsheimer, Pikesville, Md., pres- ident of the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods. This cal- endar was prepared as part of the nation-wide celebration of the tercentenary of J e w ish, settlement in New Amsterdam which is being planned by Jew- ish organizations throughout the country. The celebration is being co-ordinated through the American Jewish Tercentenary Committee, 3 E. 65 St., New York 21, N.Y. The current issue of the art calendar is handsomely illus- trated with original art work from filmstrips depicting settle- ment of the Jews in New Am- sterdam, Haym Salomon's con- tribution to the American Revo- lution, the philanthropic and patriotic actions of Judah Touro and the efforts of Dr. Isaac Mayer Wise to or g a n i z e the Union of American Hebrew Con- gregations and to train rabbis, as well as with other photo- graphs of historic significance. Chips from a Historian's Workshop PERSONALITIES AND EVENTS IN JEWISH HISTORY. By Cecil Roth, Philadelphia, Pa., The Jewish Publication Society 01 America, 1954. 332 pages. 54. Dr. Cecil Roth has earned for ; himself an assured place in the; public mind as a diligent worker in the field of Jewish history. In a series of important mono- graphs and numerous articles he ; has during the past quarter of al century interpreted the Jewish past in all its drama and color. More than a score of his articles have now been collected and published in book form, appro- priately entitled "Personalities and Events in Jewish History," though Dr. Roth himself de- scribes them in his preface as "Chips from a historical work- shop." A historian's work, by • its very nature, causes such chips to fall and to accumulate. In the first place, his desire for clarity makes this necessary. Details encumber a story and interfere with the smoothness of its flow. Persons or incidents, in them- selves of great interest, frequent- ly must be reduced to a mere mention. Morever, the historian sometimes builds up a theory to Justify his conclusions, and yet finds no place for it in the vol- Brandeis Women Present Nominees at May Meeting Mrs. Samuel B. Aaron, presi- dent, Detroit Chapter of Na- tional Women's Committee of Brandeis University, announces that at a board meeting, May 11 10 a.m., at the home of Mrs. George Gelanty, 19280 Burling- ton Rd., the slate of officers for the 1954-1955 term will be pre- sented by Mrs. Fred Ginsberg, nominating committee c ha i r- man. Election will take place at the - annual open meeting, at a garden party at the home of Mrs. Aaron Gershenson, Wel- lesly Dr., June 23. Plans will be made for the celebration of the fifth birthday of the Detroit Chapter, on Sep- tember 22. A, "Reminding Service" h a s been established by Mrs. Lee Mellen, chairman of the book fund committee. Those wishing to make contributions honoring happy events may call her at UN. 1-2356, or mail to 3201 Sher- bourne Rd., a list of names, dates and occasions to be com- memorated. The annual conference of the National Women's Committee will be held on June 13, 14, and 15 during Commencement week. In addition to delegates, all members are invited, ume on which he is working. Such by-products of his labor must be put aside until an op- portunity presents itself to sub- mit them to the public in a peri- odical publication. Such publica- tions, however, are not likely to obtain wide distribution, so that the articles in question remain unread despite their inherent in- terest and importance. Collect- ing them within the covers of a book consequently becomes a service to scholarship and a con- tribution to the intelligent un- derstanding of the author and his work. One need but look at the titles of the essays included in the volume under review to recog- nize what an interesting contri- bution it makes to various as- pects of Jewish history. We hear glib talk about History repeating itself; we find a significant dis- cussion of the subject in the chapter "Parallel and Paradox in Jewish HiStory." For centuries the Jews have been called unas- similable, accused of deliberate- ly standing aloof from the life of the people about them. Dr. Roth takes up the challenge and discusses it in a number of es- says contained in this volume. We wonder about the causes for Jewish survival; Dr. Roth pre- sents a number of discussions on the subject, treating of the peo- ple, their language and their literature. Interesting personali- ties who were in some measure connected with the Jewish peo- ple or with Jewish life are in- troduced in such a way as to make these contacts clear; for example, Montaigne and Colum- bus, and, in somewhat different fashion, the Shy] o c k whom Shakespeare created. Dinner-Dance of City of Hope Fighters on May 1 5 The City of Hope Cancer Fighters will sponsor their an- nual dinner-dance Saturday, May 15, at Holiday Manor.

An exhibition and sale of oc- ciipational therapy work, pro- duced by nearly 4,000 patients and residents in hospitals and old-age homes under the aus- pices of Malben, Joint Distribu- tion Committee program on behalf of aged, ill and handi- capped newcomers to Israel, was held in Tel Aviv last month. Sams Inc. on Thursday opened in the new Dearborn shopping center, which when completed will consist of 22 ; retail stores. Sams is the hub of the enter- prise which is located in the Michigan Ave.-Schaefer Rd. vi- cinity. According to Max Osnos, pres- ident of Sams, this is the first move in an overall plan to establish five suburban stores to better serve Detroit area residents. Other stores will be opened in the future in the Northeast and Northwest' sec- Osnos tions of the city, Osnos said. The Dearborn store, which fronts on . Schaefer, has 100,000 square feet of shopping area. Merchandise will be similar to that carried in the two Down- town stores. A parking lot, able to accommodate 1,000 cars, is a feature of the new center. JTA Inaugurates Direct Line to United Nations NEW YORK, (JTA)—A di- rect line from United Nations conference rooms into the editorial rooms of the Jew- ish Telegraphic Agency was opened in a move to facili- tate quicker handling of UN news of interest to Jewish leaders. The line is connected with the UN loud speaker system and enables the JTA editor to listen to actual proceedings in the Security Council and other UN bodies, making it possible to summarize speech- es speedily anti transmit them to JTA offices throughout the world quickly. The voice line between UN and. JTA headquarters is sup- plemented by a regular tele- type line which carries all UN press announcements. participants in the Institute will divide into small interest groups to deal with specific areas of concern, including dis- crimination, p r e.j u d i cal atti- tudes, the fighting of Commun- ism and the like. Nationally known personali- ties have been invited to partici- pate in the forum on the eve- ning of June 5, in a panel pre- sentation of state, national, re- ligious and educational aspects of greater implementation of the American way of life. Included in the Institute will be reports of ADL activities in Michigan. Co-chairmen for the Institute are Aaron J. Pearlman of Battle Creek and Ben M.
