Judge Ira Kaufman, president
of the Zionist Organization of
Detroit, this week reported that
interest in the entire community
is increasing in support of the
annual Balfour concert, to be
held Nov. 25 at Ford Auditorium.
The appearance at the concert
of Jan Peerce, the distinguished
singing star of opera, concert and
hours for a little swimming and
golf in the summer.
Peerce has been known to sing
a performance at the Met one
evening, a concert a thous'hnd
miles away a day later, and an-
other opera the following night,
all to ecstatic praise.
Reservations for the Balfour
Concert are now being taken at
the ZOD office, DI. 1-8540.

ternity, center -of a long-stand-
ing campus controversy because
of its "white Christians only"
membership limitation, has re-
ceived a waiver on the limita-
tion from its national office.

radio, as guest with the Detroit
Symphony Orchestra, on the Nov.
25 program, has received wide
approval, Judge Kaufman said.
The community's honors will
be accorded that night to Paul
Paray, who will direct the or-
chestra, Judge Kaufman said.
The ZOD president also re-
ported that there is keen inter-
est in the champagne supper
party planned by Mr. and Mrs.
Paul Zuckerman, for Nov. 21, at
their home. The Zuckerman party
will be for sponsors of the con-
cert.
Jan Peerce is a born racon-
teur, an artist of international
reputation and a kindly family
man, all wrapped up in one per-
son.
This singing star has an

When the ticker tape reads
BBB 245 1/4, it means someone
has just bought 200 shares of
Barton Candy Corporation stock
on the American Exchange for
$15.25 a share. And it means
that the only Sabbath-observing
chain in America has become
a part of _the_ everyday trans-
actions of the Wall Street fi-
nanciers.
Like its first candy store at
Broadway and 21st S t r e e t,
opened 21 years ago, Barton's
Chain of 65 stokes still close
their doors at sundown on Fri-
day, not to be opened again
until Shabbos ends Saturday
night.
But in most other ways, the
giant candy corporation bears
very little resemblance to the
tiny candy kitchen and its single
store of two decades ago.
Today, Barton's factory occu-
pies a square city block. Its
modern four story building man-
ufactures over 300 different
kinds of candies and has a com-
pletely automated bakery. These
candies and pastries supply the

which opened at 5 when the
company went on the American
Exchange in 1959, have more
than tripled in value in less
than two years. And a one per
cent stock dividend has just been
paid to all stockholders in addi-
tion to their regular cash divi-
dends.
Barton's is operated by a
seven man board of directors
which includes Stephen Klein's
three brothers who have spent
the last 20 years helping him
build the business. A fourth
brother, the youngest, is in
charge of factory production.
Barton's employs almost 1,000
people in its factory, bakery,
offices and 65 stores. Three
unions cover its employees and
the company has never had a
strike. "There's a fourth union
too," says Klein. It's the only
one that lets me be a member.
It's the Union of Orthodox Jew-
ish Congregations of America.
Their Rabbis supervise kashruth
at Barton's. Nothing is left to
chance where strict dietary laws
are concerned — all Barton's
products carry the Union's seal
of kashruth."
For the next twelve months,
Barton's intends to continue
their expansion ,program by open-
ing 200 new franchised outlets.
"My plan is not to stop until
there isn't a town in America
where you won't be able to buy
a box of authentic kosher
candy," says Klein.

New Ktav Series
AT LATIN QUARTER
A "2-in-1 book" features the
new series of children's stories
just issued by Ktav Publishing
Co. (65 Suffolk, N. Y. 2).
The two stories in this book—
after reading one half it's turn
all-the-way around for fhe other
story that starts in opposite
direction on the other side—are-
"The Singing Shammos" and
"The Gelt That Grew." Both are
entertaining and are certain to
delight the youngsters who read
it or to whom they are read. The
stories are by Ruth Samuels,
with illustrations by Ezekiel
Schloss.
The other new Ktav publica-
tions have special appeal for
Jewish youngsters.
Edythe and Sol Scharfstein
are the authors of "Let's
Make Believe" in which the
Sabbath and all the Jewish
festivals and holy days are
described in cheery verses.
Ezekiel Schloss also is the
illustrator of this book.
"The First Hebrew Prayer
Book," also by the Scharfsteins,
will be found valuable because
it contains major Jewish pray-
ers in Hebrew as- well as in
English.
Ruth Samuels is the author
of "The Ten Commandments,"
all of which are evaluated for
children to understand.
Uri Shulevitz is the illustrator
of the latter two book
