The Suburban Community

The Year in Review Indicates
Continued Suburban Growth

By the Oak-Woodser

Even the wetness of the last
storm and resultant flooded
streets and basements wasn't
enough to put a damper on a
very successful and • productive
"last season" in the South Oak-
land County area.
As June and another subur-
ban year of activity draw to a
close, we thought of reviewing
briefly some of the progress
that was noted during the past
season before we, too, take a
vacation during the summer
Months.
Keeping pace with the con-
tinuing growth of residential
neighborhoods was the expan-
sion of synagogue facilities.
Two Detroit congregations an-
nounced plans to build in the
area, while three others - also
planned their buildings.
Recently we reported on the
approval granted to Cong. Bnai
David, which will construct a
new congregation in Southfield
Township.
Cong. Bnai Moshe, which has
a large following in the sub-
urban areas, met during the
year as a suburban congrega-
tion and finally decided on
the purchase of land which
will be used to erect a new
congregational building.
Two- of the three original
and newly-organized suburban
congregations, Reform Temple
Emanu - El and Conservative
Beth Shalom, have been going
ahead fullsteam on their struc-
tures, to be ready in time for
High Holy Day services.
Young Israel Center of Oak-
Woods, the community's Ortho-
dox congregation, announced
during the year that it will
expand its present building to
enlarge its religious school pro-
gram.

Greeting us in the fall also
will be a new spiritual leader
of Temple Emanu-El. During
the summer, Rabbi Frank Ros-
enthal will leave to _ assume a
new congregation in the Chi-
cago suburbs. His successor has
not yet been named.
This week, we learn, too, that
Rabbi Henry Hoschander, of
Pontiac's Cong. Bnai Israel will
leave after four years of serv-
ice to that congregation to as-
sume spiritual leadership of a
larger synagogue in Rocheste;,
N. Y.
Residents will soon have
available to them the facilities
of the combined Jewish Com-
munity Center - United Hebrew
School building on 10 Mile Rd.,
another sign of mature growth.
Organizations continued - to
expand during the year, with
synagogues and their affiliate
groups all showing a great in-
crease. A newly-formed group,
which has grown quickly in
membership, is the Men's Club
of Young Israel Center.
The greatest increase, how-
ever, was experienced by the
South Oakland County -Chap-
ter of Hadassah. With an en-
rollment of over 1,200 mem-
bers, it was necessary to split
the Chapter into two units—
the Huntington Woods Group
and • the Oak Park Group.
Before they parted company,
however, women from both
groups cooperated on the- Chap-
ter's fourth annual production,
"Off the Cuff," which played to
capacity crowds at Mumford
High School on three successive
nights.
The year gone by gave many-
examples of how suburbanites
of different religions, races and
social and cultural backgrounds
shared in the growth of the
community in which we all live.
Chief among the endeavors
was a community-wide drive to
enlist the support of all resi-
dents of Oak Park in coming to
the aid of the burned-down
Lady of Fatima Catholic
Church.
Gutted by fire and only half
covered • with insurance, • the
church is now being rebuilt,
partly with the aid of funds
raised during a Brotherhood
Week effort conducted by peo-
ple of all religions.
Each year, as we /Oak back
on the achievements we wonder
how far it will all go. We still
don't know the answer to that
question, but we're sure it's
headed in the right direction.
See you all in the fall.

Berkley Student
Wins 15-Day Trip

Nancy Helen Cohen, who will
enter her senior year at Berk-
ley High School in September,

left this Tuesday on a 15-day,
expense-paid tour of historical
points of interest, which will be
climaxed by a visit to the
United Nations.
Nancy; the daughter of Dr.
and Mrs. A. L. Cohen, of 25426
Parkwood, Huntington Woods,
was one of 10 Detroit area stu-
dents to win the annual Odd
Fellows' speech award on "What

the United Nations Means to
Me."
The trip started with only a
routine class assignment, Nancy
relates. She was out of town
when the contest was an-
nounced, and her winning entry
was written as "just another
English composition."
When the essay wan, the class
award, Nancy delivered it as
a speech to win school and dis-
trict honors. After winning
first place, she later gave the
talk at a meeting of the Rotary
Club.
Nancy was the only one to
write her entry on a personal
basis. The emphasis was on
"what the UN means to me as a
person," and told what it would
mean to the peace and security
not only of the world but of
her own home life if war can-
not be prevented.
Over 40 teen-agers from
Michigan, Indiana and Ohio
will make the trip, which in--
eludes stops at Fort Wayne,
Gettysburg, Washington, Mt.
Vernon, Baltimore, Philadelphia
and Valley Forge.
After spending 'six days in
New York, which will highlight
a luncheon with UN delegates,
Nancy will return via Provi-
dence, Plymouth, Boston, Lex-
ington, Concord, Cooperstown
and Niagara Falls. Greenfield
Village is the final stop an the
tour.

Americans Aid Israeli Medicine
with Fund Raising and Fellowships

Upon his return here from the
sixth annual assembly of the
American Physicians Fellowship
of the Israel Medical Associa-
tion, Dr. Bernard Weston, De-
troit Chapter president and na-
tional committee member, an-
nounced that Dr. J. M. Rogoff
was elected national president.
Other new officers are Drs.
Harold J. Trimble, vice presi-
dent; Manuel Glazier, secretary;
Maurice I. Abrams, treasurer;
and Morton J. Robbins, founder
and president of the group since
its founding in 1950, honorary
president.
According to Dr. Weston, the
APF determined that it must
strengthen and enlarge its mem-
bership for the purpose of rais-
ing Israel's medical standards.
With almost 2,000 members, the
APF is currently campaigning
for funds for the Academy of
Medicine Building in Israel.
In a plea for aid, Dr. Moshe
Sherman, president of the Israel
Medical Association, and a resi-
dent of Tel Aviv, stressed the
need for the Academy for re-
search and co-ordination of
medical facilities and also asked
that the APF speed up its pro-
gram for obtaining fellowships
for Israeli physicians in U. S.
medical institutions, so that
"American medical know-how"
can be brought back to Israel.

Dr. Sherman stated that the
IMA would continue to organ-
ize world medical assemblies
every three years in Israel to
allow an international exchange
of ideas. He pointed out that 715
persons ' attended the Third
World Assembly of the Israel
Medical Association, with 64
persons coming from the United
States.
Dr. Weston said that - all De-
troit physicians would be solic-
ited by mail to join the APF
this fall.
