shows Judge WILLIAM FRIEDMAN a plaque which marks the
new nurses station at the Home named for Judge Friedman.
At the ceremony, attended by °Meeks and directors of the
Home, Newman paid tribute to Judge Friedman's service to
the Home and its residents, and pointed out that his interest
in the home dates back to 1906 when Judge Friedman drafted
the original articles of incorporation in long hand.
View Segregated Housing in North
as Serious as Southern School Issue
The problems of segregated
housing were termed "as serious
a challenge to Northern com-
munities as is segregated
schools to the South" in a
pamphlet issued by the Com-
mission on Social Action of
Reform Judaism.
The report, "Integration on
Trial in the North — a long
hard look at the Hyde Park
Section of C h i c a g o," was
written by Mrs. Jeanett Fields,
a Chicago community worker
and former reporter.
I. Cyrus Gordon of New York,
Commission chairman, pointed
out t h a t, "housing is in the
North what the public schools
have become in the South —
the testing place for democratic
freedom and full equality."
Gordon declared, "This re-
port is a reminder of the un-
finished business which awaits
us in each of our communities
and which confronts the syna-
gogue and the church with an
unavoidable trial — the chal-
lenge of effective social action."
The report was published as
an outgrowth of the democratic
statement of principles adopted
by 3,000 delegates representing
560 Reform Temples in the
Western hemisphere at last
year's 44th General Assembly
in Toronto, Canada of the
Union of American Hebrew
Congregations.
