Friday, Ja nua ry 17, 1964—THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 26
Children Paint Their Blues Away
Needy Jewish children can forget the squalor of the mel-
lah (ghetto) in Casablanca and enjoy creative activities at the
garderie (kindergarten). They are shown in one of the 18
garderies supported by JDC in Morocco, serving some 3,000
children. The children receive hot lunches and afternoon snacks
and a medical program guards their health. The Joint Distribu-
tion Coimnittee receives fluids for its health, welfare and re-
habilitation programs through the campaigns of the United
Jewish Appeal. The United Jewish Appeal is the major bene-
ficiary of the Jewish Welfare Federation's 1964 Allied Jewish
Campaign, which supports a total of 55 local, national and over-
seas agencies and services.
Jewish Vocational Service Retiree
Program Reported Marked Success
Robert Kasle, president of
the Jewish Vocational Service,
reports considerable progress
of the special project to sup-
plement job opportunities for
retired persons, which has
been made possible by a grant
from the Baron de Hirsch Fund
of New Jersey. In the year-
end report to the Baron de
Hirsch Fund, the Jewish Voca-
tional Service indicated that
this special project has been
successful to a degree beyond
initial expectations.
This project has been design-
ed to provide part-time or full-
time jobs for retired persons
who need to supplement their
Social Security or retirement
benefits.
"The Detroit JVS has long
been aware of the difficulty
which retirees face in obtain-
ing employment," Kasle said.
"Many retired persons who
have serious economical and
psychological needs to work
have been unable to find jobs
in spite of their excellent em-
ployment potential."
This project has made pos-
sible a special job solicita-
tion program on behalf of
selected retirees who are
known 0 the Jewish Voca-
tional Service. Philip Gil-

bert, field representative for
this project, has been active-
ly soliciting opportunities for
retirees through a planned
program of neighborhood and
industrial contacts. A total
of 18 retired persons have
been placed on jobs through
this program.
These workers have been
employed in a variety of sales,
clerical or factory jobs which
make use of their experience I
and abilities. Both employers
who have participated in this
project and the employed re-
tirees have expressed their
great satisfaction with the
results.
"In every instance, the re-
tirees have expressed deep
appreciation for the efforts
in their behalf," Gilbert said.
"The realization of having
been given an opportunity to
be engaged in a useful en-
deavor was a tremendous
lift to their morale."
In it's report to the Baron
de Hirsch Fund, the Jewish
Vocational Service stated: "The
evidence that a number of re-
tired persons can become again
gainfully employed in the face
of the labor market which
seriously limits their job oppor-
tunities, is of great importance
to our placement efforts on
behalf of all senior citizens."
The Agency, encouraged by
its initial results, believes that
there are many more businesses
which could apparently utilize
the experiences of retired per-
sons who are flexible and stable
workers. It requests that those
employers who have job open-
ings which might be filled by
retired persons call Eugene
Greenspan, assistant director
of the Jewish Vocational Serv-
ice, WO. 1-8570.
