Copr, 1758, Leonard Pritikin

Dr. Gorne Heads Flint UJA Drive

Dr. S. S. Gorne, prominent
physician and civic leader, has
accepted the general chairman-
ship of the 1959 Flint United
Jewish Appeal, with Edwin L.
Elk serving as associate chair-
man, it was announced by Dr.
H. Maxwell Golden, president
of the Flint Jewish Community
Council.
Gorne served as president of
the Council from 1952 to 1954,
and was last year's associate
chairman of Flint UPA as well
as co-chairman of the 1951
drive. He has been an officer
of Bnai Brith and Temple Beth
El Brotherhood.
Elk, now president of Temple
Beth El and Council vice-presi-
dent, was a campaign leader in
1955 as associate chairman, and
has been a member of the Cam-
paign Cabinet annually.
Both have been active in the
annual Red Feather drives,
with Dr. Gorne also serving as
volunteer County J u v e nil e
Home physician for a number
of years.
Gorne and Elk stressed the
urgency of the 1959 national
drive to raise the $100,000,000
UJA. Special Fund, over and

above the regular 1959 UJA
needs, in order to rescue and
resettle in Israel over 100,000
Jews expected to arrive from
Eastern Europe.
They stated: "Our 1959 Flint
UJA drive, which includes over
40 other agencies and causes
on the local, national and over-
seas scene, is geared to cover
every past and potential con-
tributor in Flint to Jewish re-
lief, health and welfare causes
—and we are setting our target
to top the extremely successful
drive of 1957. It is our duty to
share the burden of this vast
and sudden emigration of home-
less, helpless and suffering Jew-
ish people from Eastern Europe
with our brothers in Israel."

Harold Norris on
Tour of Meetings
with. State Judge

Together with State Supreme
Court Justice John D. Voelker
(author of the best seller
"Anatomy of a Murder"), Harold
Norris, who was nominated for
Common Pleas Judge at the
February Primaries, is covering
scores of meetings this week-
end in the Detroit area.
Both candidates, who will be
voted upon at the April 6 elec-
tion, will be guests at more
than a score of meetings and
at parlor sessions in private
homes.
Among the latter will be
a gathering for the two judi-
cial candidates at the home
of Dr. and Mrs. Burton
Simon, 5195 W. Outer Drive.
Justice Voelker and Mr. Nor-
ris said they will be happy to
accept invitations from others
and to present their views on
progressive judicial needs to
local gatherings.
Norris, who has received the
endorsements of labor and
other groups in Detroit and who
has been given a preferred
rating by the Detroit Citizens
League, has been commended
by the News and Free Press.
The News stated editorially that
Norris is "likely to have the
human sympathy a Common
Pleas Judge should have."
The Free Press wrote edi-
torially that Norris is "a man
likely to have the outlook de-
sirable on the bench of the
court of the common man try-
ing to settle common prob-
lems."
