Bnai Brith in Windsor is en-
joying a banner year.
When its members gather on
May 1, at the Windsor Jewish
Community Center, for its an-
nual installation and dance, they
will be marking the 35th anni-
versary of Bnai Brith in Wind-
sor, the 85th year since the
organization was organized in
Canada and the 200th anniver-
sary since the first permanent
Jewish settlement in Canada.
The festivities also will cele-
brate the 12th anniversary since
the founding of the state of
Israel. Special guest for the
occasion will be Miriam Hadar,
Miss Israel of 1959.
The event will touch off "old

home month," which is to be
observed during the entire
month of May. The May 1
program will serve as a reunion
for all members 'of the group,
and will be highlighted by the
presentation of special citations
to all original members of the
Lodge when it was founded.
A buffet supper and dancing
to the music of Mickey Woolf's
orchestra are planned: Miss
Hadar will speak on "Present
Day Problems in Israel."
The first Bnai Brith lodge
was organized in Canada on
June 13„ 1875—some 32 years
after the founding of Bnai Brith
in 1843 in New York.

Canadian Jews Highly Resistant
to Intermarriage; Male Rate Greater

MONTREAL, (JTA) — Can-
adian Jews show the highest
rate of marriage within a faith,
the official Yearbook of the
Canadian government indicated.
The Yearbook reported that
the distribution of brides and
bridegrooms by religious de-
nomination is roughly the same
as that for the population as a
whole. About 72 percent of all
marriages are between persons
of the same religious denomina-
tions."
A breakdown by faiths for
the year 1957 liste such mar-
riages among Jews as at the
rate of 93 percent. Among Ro-
man Catholics, same faith mar-
riages were 88 percent; among
United Church and Eastern
Orthodox, the figure was about
63 percent.
The latest national figures for
Jewish bridegrooms marrying
min-Jewish brides were for
1955: 148 compared with 1,428
who married Jewish girls; in
1956, 142 compared with 1,428
who married Jewish girls; in
1956, 142 compared with 1,559
who married Jewish girls; in
1957, 174 compared with 1,571.
In 1958, the number of Jew-
ish men who married Jewish
girls in Ontario was 628. The
total number of Jewish bride-
grooms was 707, which meant
that 79 Jewish men (11 per-
cent) married non-Jewish girls
who included 24 Roman Catho-
lics, 19 Anglicans, 16 United
Church, eight Lutherans, eight
Presbyterians, two Baptists, and
one Pentecostal adherent and
one Unitarian. In 1957, 85 On-
tario Jewish men (11 per cent)
married non-Jewish girls. In
1956, 80 Jewish men (10.8 per-
cent) married non-Jewish
brides. In 1955, 67 Jewish men
(10.2 percent) did so.
In 1958, 45 Jewish girls mar-
ried non-Jews. This was about
seven percent of all Jewish
brides in Ontario that year. The
percentages of such Jewish mar-
riages to non-Jewish men were
four (29 girls) in 1957; five
and one-half (39 girls) in 1956
and five and one-half (34 girls)
in 1955.

Farband to Install
New Windsor Branch

Installation of a newly orga-
nized Farband branch in Wind-
sor, named for Israel Premier
David Ben-Gurion, will take
place at 7 p.m., Sunday, at the
Metropole Tavern, in Windsor,
according to Louis Levine, Far-
band organizer in Detroit.
The charter will be presented
to the Ben-Gurion branch by
Shmuel Lapin, national director
of English-speaking groups for
North America, who will come
here from New York to partici-
pate in the program. .
The Farband is a Jewish fra-
ternal and cultural organization
founded in 1913. Its branches
throughout the United States
and Canada participate in such
major activities as supporting
schools, summer camps and
working for projects in the
state of Israel.

Jewish brides who married
non-Jews in 1958 chose 24 Ro-
man Catholics; 14 Anglicans,
12 each of the United Church
and Presbyterians, two Eastern
Orthodox, two Methodists, one
Unitarian and one Mennonite.
Two non-Jewish bridegrooms
listed no religions. Figures of
Jewish girls marrying non-Jews
for all of Canada were 56 in
1957, 68 in 1956 and 65 in 1955.

quickly in Montreal and Vic-
toria, but after 25 years all
three lodges lapsed into inactiv-
ity and were disbanded.
Bnai Brith returned to Can-
ada not only to stay, but to
grow following World War I, in
1919. The original Canada Lodge
in Toronto was reactivated, and
five years later had a member-
ship of 500.
In 1925, Windsor Lodge be-
came the 11th Bnai Brith group
in Canada.
Now, Bnai Brith is firmly
rooted in Canada, which now
has the seventh largest Jewish
community in the world. In
Toronto alone, there are 20 Bnai
Brith lodges and 15 women's
chapters.

Brith as charter members, when
the group was instituted on
March 15, 1925 were the follow-
