THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS—Friday, October 23, 195 9- 14 Follies Benefit Stars 100 Oak Park Students, Parents Another Holiday Surprise —and Then Back to Business By the Oak-Woodser Following last week's report of the activities of two young hellions who surprised their parents by building a sukkah in the backyard of their home, we have received what we think is an ,excellent crop of holiday stories. One that particularly struck our fancy concerns four-year- old Albert, who is at that de- lightful age when neither he nor his parents know what is coming next. With great apprehension, his parents took him to •children's holiday services. When the service started, they sat on the edge of their chairs, expecting that any moment, they would have to claim him and spirit him out of the sanctuary. On the contrary, he was thoroughly engrossed by the service and complained bitterly that he had to leave. That the holiday experience left a lasting impression, however, was a certainty, when last week his mother discovered him at the oven —opening and closing the doors," taking out the racks and putting them back again. "What are you doing, Al- bert?" was his mother's natural question. His reply -- "Taking the Torah out of the Ark, mom," * * * But, the holiday season be- comes a thing of the past after this weekend when we cele- brate Simhat Torah. And, al- ready there is a great deal of planning for events that are forthcoming. Keeping busy during the past few weeks, the Jewish Corn- munity Council's South Oak- land County committee has met with administrators o_f the Oak Park School System to resolve a knotty problem created by necessary late dismissal of junior high school students. Because of a large increase in enrollment, high school and junior high students have been Suburban Women Slate Two Events A regular meeting of the Mishkan Israel Sisterhood at 8:30 p.m., Monday, will be fol- lowed by a membership tea at 8:30 p.m., Wednesday, it is an- nounced by Mrs. Adele Gold- stein, president.

With the high school grades using the building in the morn- ing, junior high school students don't get to class until 12:30 p.m. And the final bell does not ring until 5:05 p.m. According to the Jewish calendar, this means that for the remainder of this year and part of next, until new classrooms are ready in 1961, there will be 11 Friday after- noons when late dismissal in- terferes with observance of the sabbath. Meeting with administrators of the school system, Rabbi Mordecai S. Halpern, of Cong.- Beth Shalom, and Dr. Abraham F. Citron, of the Council staff, were able to make arrange- ments, which permit the early release of any child whose parents request the child home for sabbath observance. The school is requesting that a parent, or someone authorized by the parents, call for the child at the school office; or, if that is impossible, the par- ents should call the school to give permission for the young- ster to come home alone. Since the school additions will be ready within a year, the arrangement is not permanent. There will be no need for split shifts or late dismissal once the necessary classrooms are ready. Twenty-seven acts — song, dance, comic, dramatic — will be featured in the Oak Park Follies Tuesday through Thurs- day. Sponsored by the Oak Park High School PTSA, the show will open at 8 p.m. in the high school auditorium. Proceeds from the Follies will go toward the PTSA's Suburban Community Francis V.

RAILROAD FEATHERBEDDING: $500,000,000 LOSS TO THE NATION-INCLUDING YOU EVERY YEAR Featherbedding on the railroads — pay for work not done or not needed — is costing the Amer- ican people the shocking total of more than $500,000,000 a year. You pay for it every time you shop, because featherbedding costs are hidden in the price of everything you buy. Obsolete union work rules, involving the rail- road operating employees, are responsible for this gigantic burden. Right now, for instance, these rules require every diesel locomotive to carry a fireman — even though diesels have no fires to stoke, no boilers to tend. The forthcoming negotiations between the rail- roads and the unions are urgently important to the whole nation. In asking the unions to drop these featherbedding rules, all the railroads ask for is a fair day's work for a fair day's pay. To Hear Marriage Expert The Sisterhood of Young Israel Center, Oak-Woods, will meet at 8:30 p.m., Wednesday, at Coolidge and Allen Rd. A talk will be given by a well- known marriage counselor.
