Gilt for New Wing at Home for Aged

The Board of Governors of the
Jewish Home for Aged held its
49th annual meeting recently, at-
tended cornerstone ceremonies
for the Home's David M. and
Frieda G. LeVine Infirmary
-Wing, re-elected 14 of its mem-
bers to new three year terms and
issued its annual. report.
Herman Mathias, nominating
committee chairman, announced
the re-election of Sidney J. Al-
len, Joseph Bernstein Samuel J.
Greenberg, Joseph Holtzman,
Nathan Kolb, Max J. Kogan and
Saul LeVine.
Also re-elected to three year
terms were Gus D. Newman,
Jacob Schreier, Leonard N. Sim-
ons, Mrs. Samuel Weller, Stanley
J. Winkelman and David P. Zack.
In its annual report the board
pointed out that the Home cares
for 204 people whose average age
is 82, with the oldest resident 108.
The Home, one of 14 of the
Jewish Welfare Federation mem-
ber agencies, received a $62,000
subsidy from the Federation for
its operating deficit.
"The constant concern with the
health, welfare, and happiness
of the residents, the awareness
and vigilance required by the
Board and staff to maintain high
standards of care, epitomize the
fulfillment of .a goal for many
people who, for the past 49 years,
have worked to make the Jewish
Home for Aged what it is to-
day," said Gus D. Newman,
president.
There are twice as many wom-
en as men in the Home and dur-
ing the past year a beauty shop
was added to its facilities for
their use, said Arthur A. Fleisch-
man, chairman of the house com-
mittee. The shop is serviced by
volunteers of the Women's Aux-
iliary and requires no expendi-
ture from the Home's Budget,
added Mrs. Sam Newman, Wom-
en's Auxiliary president.
"It is understandable that in-
creasing the total population
(Witti the addition of the infirm-
ary wing) from 204 to 320 will
require additional staff, and we
anticipate expanding all our facil-
ities. We will continue to do our
utmost to serve the community,
by providing the best possible
institutional care for the aged,
and partial sevice to those who
can and pefe to continoe inde-
pendently," said Ira I. Sonnen-
blick, Executive Director.

and Frieda G. LeVine; SIDNEY J. ALLEN and GUS D. NEWMAN.

Citing the significance of the
laying of the cornerstone for the
David M. and Frieda G, LeVine
Memorial at the Jewish Home for
Aged last Sunday as going
far beyond the purposes of the
building, Rabbi Morris Adler
noted that it represents an affir-
mation of basic concepts of Ju-
daism and democracy—"concern
and compassion for the aged
among us and respect for the dig-
nity of the individual."
Well over 200 members of the
community witnessed the event
which was made possible by a
partnership of the Jewish Home
for Aged, Jewish Welfare Fed-
eration, Metropolitan Detroit
Building Fund and the LeVine
family. Abraham Srere, president
of the United Jewish • Charities,
said the gifts will serve as a sym-
bol of achievement of people
working together with intellig-
ence, generosity and a concern
for their fellow-man.
Gus D. Newman, president of
the Home recounted the steps
anitional
that will mean
beds for the chronically ill aged
at the Home when the new in-
firmary wing is completed in the
spring:
"Several years ago, the Frieda
G..LeVine Foundation bequeathed
$250,000 to the Federation to be
used for health purposes as a
lasting memorial in memory of
Frieda G. LeVine.
"The Metropolitan D e t r o i t
Building Fund, recognizing the

for the care of the chronic sick,
—Charles Dickens voted a $700,000 grant to the
Home for the construction of an
addition to the infirmary.
"To facilitate the building im-
mediately, the Jewish Welfare
Federation recommended the al-
location of $208,000, including the
