will have their Senior Prom at
the Latin Quarter in Detroit in-
stead of the high school gym.
"The gym kept getting smaller
and smaller each year until
finally we put up an oral peti-
tion to the Board of Education
appealing their ruling stating
that proms could not be held
outside the gym," stated Berk-
leyite Judy Stutz. The change
was granted only if students
would maintain their high man-
ner of conduct.

Nazi Concentration
Camp Guards Sentenced
In Two Bavarian Trials

MUNICH, (JTA) — A local
court has imposed a sentence
of six years at hard labor upon
Willy Bach, former "chief of
cross - examinations" in the
Dachau concentration camp, af-
ter finding him guilty of "forc-
ible extortion of testimony." A
former Dachau inmate had acci-
dentally recognized Bach last
year in the small Southwest
German town of Lahr.
In nearby Memmingen, an
identical sentence was pro-
nounced in the case of Rudolf
Pinhammer, who shot two Dutch
concentration camp inmates a
few weeks before the end of the
war in 1945.

Asked to Support SOC Clinic

By the Oak-Woodser
The critical need for a child
guidance clinic in the South
Oakland County area was dra-
matically emphasized this week
when appeals for funds were
issued to 17 school districts and
16 municipal and township gov-

ernments.

The request for dovernment
assistance came from the SOC
Child Guidance Clinic steering
committee, a volunteer group
headed by Abraham Brickner,
executive secretary of the Mich-
igan Chapter for Multiple Scler-
osis and member of the Oak
Park School. Board.
The branch would relieve the
waiting list of emotionally dis-
turbed children who now need
help from the Oakland Child
Guidance Clinic in Pontiac.
Over one half of the young-
sters on the waiting list of the
Pontiac clinic come from below
14 Mile Rd. and would fall
within the area proposed by the
SOC branch.
Brickner emphasized that in
the Oak Park School District
alone, which is comprised of
60 percent Jewish population,
there are 144 cases handled by
a special visiting teacher.
She is a social worker who
takes care of referrals of prob-
lem children in the classrooms.
Any of these youngsters, who
average eight years in age and
have special difficulties, are
placed on a 90-day waiting list
of the Oakland clinic- for in-
tensive treatment.
The clinic in Pontiac in the
first nine months of this year,
Brickner said, has seen as many
children as in the entire year
of 1955, and the peak months of
October, November and Decem-
ber are not included in the
figures.
The projected aid to be given
by local authorities would be a
two-year venture until state,

county and community chest
funds could be arranged.
Meanwhile, local units have
been asked by the SOC steering
committee for a two-year re-
quest based on four cents per
$1,000 in state equalized evalua-
tion for the first year and three
cents for the second.
The budget for the first year,
$31,230, covers one supervisor,
one worker, secretaries, office
and maintenance expenses and
non-recurring costs such as
desks and toys. The budget
thereafter would approximate
$23,230.
The committee has asked that
school districts and municipali-
ties provide an answer for par-
ticipation in the project by
Jan. 15.
Meanwhile, citizens from all
backgrounds, professional, busi-
ness and PTA groups, have been
asked to cooperate in promoting
the cause of the clinic for South
Oakland.
The group, which was formed
earlier this year, is comprised
of school personnel, PTA lead-
ers, teachers, visiting teachers,
physicians, lawyers and just in-
terested citizens, Brickner said.
Requests for information on
the projected clinic or joining
the steering committee of the
group may be addressed to

Park, LI. 6-7317.

Schachtel's 'The Life
You Want to Live'

Rabbi Judah Schachtel is
winning acclaim with his new
book, "The Life You Want to
Live," published by E. P. Dut-
ton Co. (300 4th, NY 10).
This is another in the help-
ful works which soothe the
disturbed and assist them in
acquiring peaceful aspects on
life.
There are chapters in this
book on "Mental Health,"
"Loneliness" a n d "Self - Im-
provement." They will be found
excellent aids in adjusting to
conditions that may affect the
reader.
This book has several educa-
tional aspects—the chapters on
adult education, and on the
measure of greatness.
It helps the reader in hours
of sorrow, and there are dis-
cussions of problems involving
love, sex and youth that will
aid those directly affected by
the issues as well as educators
and those engaged in youth
work:
"The Life You Want to Live"
has many meritorious aspects.
It deserves the wide attention
it is being given, the high spot it
won on the Dave Garroway
"Today" TV program and confi-
dence shown in it by the pub-
lishers.
