Happiness
TO THE EDITOR:
"Native Detroiter" stated (in
this column) that those of us
who fought, successfully, the
new zoning ordinance proposed
for Oak Park, are selfish. For
his information, and to warn
other areas of the same danger,
May I set the record straight?
A specific builder, working
with the City Planning Commis-
sion, suggested the mis-named
"Senior Citizen Ordinance." It
was described as such to qualify
for government money which
would guarantee the mortgage
almost 100 per cent.
This ordinance expressly for-
bid any rules which would limit
the apartments to the senior
citizens! Since the smallest one-
room apartment would rent for
about $145, it appears obvious
that very few of our senior citi-
zens could afford this luxury
"hotel."
There is an urgent need in
Detroit and its suburbs for mid-
dle income housing for our eld-
erly. Some builders, however,
would rather build high-rise lux-
ury apartments especially when
government money (yours and
mine) is available to guarantee
the risk.
The mayor of Oak Park stated,
as the City Council rejected the
ordinance, that the decision was
made on the basis of the sound
and logical arguments of the
aroused citizenry, not their num-
ber.
Don't be fooled by slogans.
Our senior citizens need sensibly
priced housing and facilities and
we shall work to that end.

`Retirement Village'
Problems Cited
TO THE EDITOR:
May I comment on the letter
from Native Detroiter? I, too,
am interested in the "retirement
village" that recently was pro-
posed in the Oak Park area. But
I strongly resent being called
one of "a group of selfish peo-
ple" who helped defeat the re-
zoning effort on the part of the
builder.
We are not selfish, but we are
tenacious in regards to the wel-
fare of our children. There are
two very well populated schools
adjacent to the property that was
to be rezoned. Therefore there
is considerable traffic congestion
in that immediate area.
This proposed building with
it's high density living and it's
commercial service stores would
only tend to create a more haz-
ardous condition in regard to the
safety of our children.
Although I do feel there are
adequate facilities for senior
citizens in our area, if Native De-
troiter feels so vehemently about
the need for this type of housing
why does not he/she fight for
it? There are other sites avail-
able. Two of which are also else-
where in the Oak Park area. The
residents in my area were more
ardent about not having it at this
particular location, than were
they against having it at all. We
feel the welfare of over 1000
children far outweigh the wel-
fare of possibly 200 retirement-
aged people that might or might
not choose, or be able to afford,
to live in this type of develop-
ment.

Urges Payment of Pledges
Editor, Jewish News:
When a refugee comes to
Israel, they share their food
and shelter with him, but when
it comes to building him a
home and making him self-
supporting, this is where we
come in with Allied Jewish
Campaigns and Israeli Bonds.
When the Shofar is sounded
on Rosh Hashanah, we are re-
minded to pay our obligations,
not as charity, but as a yearly
ransom installment for the
freedom we in America enjoyed
during the Hitler period, while
our brothers and sisters suf-
fered the most horrible persecu-
tion in the world history. But
for the Grace of God, they
could be here and we could be
there.
Our generation lived to see a
dream of 2,000 years come true
Let us take care of it. Let us
pay our yearly ransom install-
ment according to our income
and help it grow in strength
until it wins the peace with its
Arab neighbors.
