Pair Makes Good on Debt of Honor
to a Federation Member Agency
Many people know in general
that the Allied Jewish Campaign
helps Jews through its 55 local,
national and overseas agencies,
but it was brought home dramatic-
ally recently when two fellow De-
troiters raised their pledge and
told why.
In 1954, Eugene Bortnick, like
so many other young men, wanted
to start his own business. And,
like so many others, money was
a problem.
Through the Hebrew Free
Loan Association, a Jewish Wel-
fare Federation member agency,
Bortnick was able to obtain a
loan. With it, he and Norman
Tarockoff, his partner, started a
small window cleaning service
that grew into a general build-
ing maintenance firm.

Bortnick vowed to help others in
need through the Allied Jewish
Campaign if he made good, and
his fellings were seconded by
