Programs for Youth, Aged
Head Needs of Community

(Continued from Page 1)

Presiding at the budgeting
conference, as president of the
Jewish Welfare Federation,
Samuel H. Rubiner outlined the
objectives of the sessions. A
•resume of the previous years'
Allied Jewish Campaign accom-
plishments was given by William
Avrunin, assistant director of
Federation.
Speaking for the health and
recreational division, George
Stutz asked for a number of in- ,
creases to the Home for Aged,
Sinai Hospital and the Jewish
Centers "to meet the fast-grow-
ing needs in our community."
Mr. Stutz pointed to plans for
the building of an annex to
house 120 more people at the
Home for . Aged and to the tern- '
porary increases in costs. He '
also described the planned ex-
pansions, the nursing and home- I
maker services of the Jewish
Social Service Bureau, the in-
creased needs of the Resettle-
ment Service, the Center exten-
sion service and the larger num-
ber of camperships at the com-
munity's camps, and urged in-
creases 'in allocation if funds
are to be made available in the
current compaign.
Representing the education
.division, Morris Garvett re-
ported on the increases in the
number of students in the
United Hebrew Schools from
1900 in 1954 to 2300 at present
and to the expected additional
increase of 200 this year and
told of the increased needs for
local educational efforts. He
pointed out that all the local
schools are planning on bud-
gets totalling $805,000 for the
coming year and are asking
the Federation for $333,000,
the balance to come from tui- .
Lion fees and other incomes.
Milton Maddin, as head of the
community relations division of
the Federation, while urging'
larger appropriations to civic-

protective movements if the
money is available, said that his
committee does not recommend
larger allocations since there is
no basis for spending more
money, by community relations
agencies, to the detriment of
urgent other needs. He expressed
gratitude over the fact that dif-
ferences now are faced more
frankly in approaching budget-
ary requests in this division and
that budgeting Is approached on
a basis of mutual respect.
Max Zivian, speaking for the
capital needs committee, pointed
out that $6,000,000, which three
years ago was believed to be the
need for the construction of
urgently needed public buildings,
now is considered inadequate
and that $6,500,000 will be need-
ed for the expressed purposes.
He expressed satisfaction over
the •allocation of $1,665,000 by
the Metropolitan Detroit Build-
ing Fund for the addition to
the Hoine for Aged ($700,000),
the two branch buildings for the
Jewish Centers ($590,000) and
the out-patient building for
,000) .
Sinai' Hospital ($375,000)
Mr. Zivian said that the major
needs for construction purposes
involve Camp Tamarack, Sinai
Hospital, the Centers, the Home
for Aged and the United Hebrew
Schools.
- An urgent appeal for maxi-
mum income for the United
Jewish Appeal was made by
Mrs. Joseph H. Ehrlich. "Great
problems remain to be solved,"
she pointed out. "There is need
for the settlement of the
North African Jews in Israel,
the establishment of 52 new
housing units for the settlers
in Israel, extension of aid to
the 420 existing settlements,
care for 1600 immigrant chil-
dren, assistance to religious
institutions."
Mrs. Ehrlich declared that
food, clothing and shelter must
be provided for 120,000 under-
privileged in various countries
