Plans for development of a new American Savings and Loan
branch at East Ten Mile Road near Kelly Road have been an-
nounced by Association President Alfred L. Deutsch. The -new
building is scheduled to be completed in late March of 1964.
As the eleventh office of American Savings and Loan Associa-
tion, the newest branch will be accessible to residents of East
Detroit and the Grosse Pointe area. Design of the structure will
be similar to the well-received West Eight Mile Road office
which opened last November. Until completion of the new
building, a trailer unit is on the construction site rendering full
savings and home loan services.
Jewish Meals
By Mildred Grosberg Bellin
(Copyright, 1963, JTA, Inc.)
Hearts are trumps at the table
as well as at cards. When you
are trying for a grand slam at
dinner, a meal of hearts will
give tricks in economy, novelty,
unique taste, distinctive chewy
texture, and high protein, vita-
min, and mineral content. Very
few cooks realize how delicious
hearts are when properly cooked,
or in how many different ways
they can be prepared. They can
be simmered, baked, or pot
roasted whole or sliced; or
ground for loaves or patties.
Whole hearts take to stuffing as
naturally as do whole fowl. In
every form the meat blends well
with a large variety of season-
ings to produce a wide range of
interesting dishes.
Hearts are usually sold by
the pound. A large beef heart
will serve six generously. Three
veal hearts are suggested for
five portions. Before the hearts
are koshered, all excess fat, the
veins, arteries, and hard connec-
tive tissues should be removed.
When the hearts are to be pre-
pared whole, care should be
taken to keep the outer wall
intact so that they may be
stuffed. For all other recipes the
heart may be cut open as the
Herman Pekarsky
Fund Established
NEWARK, N. J., (JTA)—The
Herman M. Pekarsky Fund, in
memory of the late executive
director of the Jewish Commu-
nity Council of Essex County,
was established by a -group of
past and present officers of the
Council and officers of the
Jewish Community Foundation.
As outlined in a statement
issued on behalf of the group
by Council president Martin
Jelin and foundation president
Sidney E. Harris, the fund will
be used to advance research,
scholarship and publication in
the fields of social welfare and
other areas of Jewish interest
with which Pekarsky was identi-
fied.
The fund will be administer-
ed within the structure of the
Jewish Community Foundation
by a special committee. The
foundation, which was created
in large part through Pekar-
sky's efforts, was established to
receive, administer and allocate
funds and property for capital
and special purposes of the
council and its beneficiaries
agencies. Planned as a memo-
rial, the Herman M. Pekarsky
Fund is open to gifts and be-
quests now and at any time in
the future.
P.E.C. Will Invest
$3 Million in Israel
NEW YORK, (JTA)—New in-
vestments in Israel enterprises
in 1963 and those in the planning
stage by PEC Israel Economic
Corporation, New York, will
amount to $3,000,000, it was re-
ported by Col. John Furman,
president.
Latest among PEC's ventures
is its entry into the fast expand-
ing tourist industry in Israel.
interior is then easier to clean.
Since the heart is a muscular
organ which has had a consider-
able amount of exercise, it needs
long, slow cooking to become
tender.
As an introduction to the de-
lights of heart cookery, for today
we have selected two using the
small veal hearts.
VEAL HEART CHOP SUEY
3 prepared veal hearts
About 3 cups boiling water
1 bay leaf
2 whole cloves
10 whole peppers
1 carrot, diced
1 large onion, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
2 teaspoons kosher steak sauce
Vs teaspoon powdered thyme
1 can chop suey vegetables
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Salt and pepper to taste
Prepare - the veal hearts by remov-
ing all excess fat, arteries, veins, and
hard connective tissues before kash-
ering. Cut each heart into quarters,
place them in a saucepan and add
the boiling water. Tie the bay leaf,
cloves, and whole peppers in a small
cheesecloth bag and add. Bring to a
boil, cover the pan tightly, then
simmer the meat 11/2 hours. Discard
the spicebag. Remove the meat and
slice it very thin. Return the meat
to the liquid and add the carrot,
onion, c e 1 e r y, steak sauce, and
thyme. Continue cooking until meat
and vegetables are tender. Drain and
measure 2 cups of the liquid. Return
these 2 cups of liquid, the meat, and
vegetables to the pan. Drain the
liquid from the can of chop suey
vegetables, rinse them in cold water,
drain again, and add them to the
saucepan together with the soy sauce.
Bring to a boil. Blend the cornstarch
with a little cold water to a smooth
paste and stir into the gravy. Cook
and stir for 5 minutes and add salt
and pepper to taste. This amount
serves 5.
VEAL HEARTS EN CASSEROLE
3 prepared veal hearts
2 cups canned tomatoes
1 /4 cup chili sauce
1/2 cup minced onion
1 /4 cup minced parsley
1 small clove garlic, finely minced
2 whole cloves
2 tablespoons minced parsley
3 /4 teaspoon salt
Vs teaspoon pepper
Prepare the veal hearts by remov-
ing all excess fat, arteries, veins, and
hard connective tissue, before kash-
ering. Cut the hearts into slices one-
half inch thick. Place all the ingredi-
ents in a well-greased casserole, cover
tightly, and bake at 350 degs. F.
about 21 /2 hours, until the meat is
tender. Serve with rice, noodles, or
mashed potatoes. If desired, the gravy
may be thickened by blending a
tablespoon of flour to a smooth paste
with a little cold water, and stirring
it into the liquid 5 minutes before
serving time. This amount makes 5
portions.
Jewish Home for Aged
Opens in Morocco
GENEVA — The first Jewish
home for the aged in Morocco
was opened on the day after
Rosh Hashanah, it was an-
nounced by Charles H. Jordan,
director-general of the Joint
Distribution Committee.
The new home, a joint proj-
ect of the Casablanca Jewish
community and JDC, has a ca-
pacity of 60 people. The home
will be supplemented by an
overall program for the aged
subsidized by JDC, with United
Jewish Appeal funds, which will
include re-housing, home care,
improved feeding and medical
supervision for all the aged of
the community, Jordan said. In
addition, the kitchen in the
home will be available for those
who have no cooking facilities
in their living quarters.
Of the 450 aged on the relief
rolls, 30 have been living in
makeshift shacks alongside the
Jewish cemetery in Casablanca,
Jordan said. "These are the
first being admitted to the new
home," he added.

"Little Did I Know" by Maurice
Samuel, whose previous books,
also published by Knopf, include
"The Second Crucifixion" and
"The World of Sholom Alei-
chem."
In this collection of memories
and reflections, the author tells
of experiences, thoughts and
feeling which have molded his
life, and recounts meetings with
people such as Chaim Weizmann,
whose life-long disciple he was
to become.
This book is a revelation of
the richness to be found in total
commitment to Jewish identity.
Samuel was born in Romania,
educated in England, and has
lived now for many years in
America. As author and lecturer
he has traveled extensively. He
served with the American Army
during World War I and with
the Morgenthau Pogrom Investi-
gation Commission to Poland in

position of the Jewish people in
the Western world.
