Up until now we nave briefly
told the stories of the Bnai
Brith Young Adults, Junior
Hadassah and the Hadassah
Evening Group.
_ Each of these organizations
are for either men or women.
This week we take on two other
groups, each of which has a
coed membership. These are the
Jewish Center Young Adults
and the •Duartians. -
Actually, the Center group
cannot be called an organiza-
tion, since its meetings revolve
around an informal program,
which goes by the name of the
Center Young Adult Lounge.
The group meets at 8 p.m.
each Sunday" night, at the Da-
vison Center for talking, danc-
ing to records; games and a
variety of other events.
More formally, the group ar-
ranges one dance a month,
sponsors other activities as
- varied as a ping-pong tourna-
ment and roller skating party.

Its program consists of a
variety of events, with a great
many of them geared to raise
funds for City of Hope. Since
money from dues goes for
operating costs, all proceeds
go to the California medical
center.
The Duartians is open to
young women of 18 and men of
21 and over. The average age
is between 22 and 23 for the
women and 29 for the men. The
membership consists mostly of
working girls and professional
and businessmen.
Of the 102 paid-up members
(many open affairs attract an
even larger number) approxi-
mately 60 per cent are girls.
In the short history of the
group, its president, Ed Klein
says, there have been three
marriages while several couples
are now going together.
While its activities include
social programs, a bowling
league, speakers and discus-
sions, its dances attract the
most young adults, Klein ven-
tured.
Such a program—a city-wide
dance—is planned by the Duar-
tians for June 9, at Masonic
Temple. It is hoped to raise
$2,000 to send to the City - of
Hope.

As for Israel, the report noted
