The month of May on our
trusty desk calendar is sporting
some time-worn wrinkles, and is
just about ready to step aside
for a refreshing June.
With it comes thoughts of
outdoor living—a trip to the
golf course, puttering around
the garden, barbecue parties,
picnics and even plans for va-
cations. In fact, just about any-
thing except organizational
meetings.
In the suburbs, a,s in the city,
everybody is about set to put the
wraps on activities for the year,
and we are just about ready to
close up this column for the
summer months.
It has been a season to re-
member, one of much activity,
much planning and great
achievement in the Oak-Woods
area.
One synagogue—the Young
Israel Center of Oak-Woods-
has been built and dedicated.
Another, Temple Emanu-El,
has broken ground for its
building. A third congregation,
Conservative Cong. Beth Sha-
lom recently won a zoning
dispute, and is now planning
its synagogue structure.
Educational activities have
South

cus, Judy Krauss, Seymour Goss,

broadcast, a tour of the radio
station was made.

ica." In this address, Rabbi Sap-

truth emerge."

progressed tremendously, not
only in the synagogue, schools
of the three congregations
named above, but also in the
United Hebrew Schools, com-
monly considered the communi-
ty school, which has shown
great strides in membership in-
creases.
Hadassah, that great Zionist
women's organization, has
achieved much success and a
vast membership in South Oak-
land County. Their progress was
notable this season in such ef-
forts as "Room and Borscht," a
fund-raising play which packed
Mumford High School on two
successive nights.
The Ladies Auxiliary of the
Jewish National Fund, Women's
American ORT, Bnai Brith
men's and women's groups, Jew-
ish War Veterans have all found
fruitful hunting grounds here for
membership during the past
year.
Word comes this week that
the Jewish Community Center's
SOC branch will be constructed
soon, probably later this year,
and will be open for use some-
time in 1956. -
And to coordinate and give
purpose to organizations in
the South Oakland County
area, there has been formed a
planning committee, associat-
ed with the Jewish Commun-
ity Council of Metropolitan
Detroit,
This is real progress! We feel
that in the fall when activities
start anew we can look forward
to even greater Jewish prosper-
ity from an area which is being
cultivated with the finest equip-
ment and in which there are
the makings of wonderful ingre-
dients.
Till September, then, it's so
long from this corner. We'll be
I looking forward to greeting you.
And have an enjoyable summer.
