Israel in past and present on a
newly released 33% rpm record.
Conceived and produced by
Gewirtz, the unique presenta-
tion involves a short dramatic
introduction before each num-
ber, with the songs printed
clearly on the cover.
In the album notes, Gewirtz
writes that the idea began with
his work on the Adas Shalom
Youth Songster. The technique
of introduction and translation
of the songs could be effectively
incorporated into a recording,
he decided. Thus began his
"six-month labor of love."

Leo Palk plans to show how
easy it is to give of yourself
when, this coming Monday he
donates his 300th pint of blood
to the American Red Cross.
Detroit's "one-man blood
bank," Polk will be observing
the 18th anniversary of Pearl
Harbor Day. Since 1941, he has
given 146
pints, the first
coining on the
day following
t h e Japanese
attack on U.S.
forces in
Hawaii.
Actual 1y,
Polk has been
donating h i s
blood regular-
Leo Polk ly since 1928,
when, after an accident, he
learned that his body replaces
blood more rapidly than most
individuals.
He has been on the board of
the Detroit Chapter of the Red
Cross since 1941, and during,
the war he did much to publi-
cize the important need for
blood.
Following the war, he was in-
strumental in organizing the
first civilian blood bank for the
Red Cross, an idea which spread
throughout the country and is
now accepted as a matter of
course in most communities.
Polk also helped organize the
Bnai Brith blood bank, and still
donates blood through his own
group, the Rabbi Mandel M.
Zager Lodge. He estimates that
Bnai Brith collects 1,200 to
1,500 pints of blood each year
for its membership.
He continues to emphasize
that blood giving is easy, and
believes it has even helped him
to keep hearty and robust
through the years. He has never
been rejected on any of his 300
trips to the blood bank.
