Jewish Federation Views Progress of Past Year;
Nate S. Shapero Given Anintual Baize' Award

Recognition of the 'services per-
formed by the Hebrew Free Loan
Association and the Community
Workqhop, presentation of the But-
zelf Award to Nate S. Shapero, pre-
sentation of annual reports and
election of members of the board
of governors marked the annual
meeting of the Jewish Welfare
Federation, Wednesday evening, at
the Jewish Center.
Mrs. Hyman C. Broder and Max-
well Jospey were.elected new mem-
bers of the Federation board. The
following were re-elected to the
board: Mandell L. Berman, Max M.
Fisher, Jack 0. Lefton, Alan E.
Schwartz, Abe Scbiffman, Rabbi
Joshua Sperka and Stanley Win-
kelman.
As president of the Federa-
tion, Hyman Safran took special
note of the 70th an iversary of
the Hebrew Free Loan Associa-
tion and of the 10th anniver-
sary of the Community Work-
shop: He reviewed the commu-
nal achievements during the past
year and viewed as a "thrill" the
"plans of our Jewish Home for
the Aged, Sinai Hospital and
others, too, to provide better
facilities and increase services
for still more people."
in brief addresses, Samuel Lie-
berman, president of the Hebrew
Free. Loan Assocation, and Ron-
ald A. Greenberg, chairman of
the Community Workshop, out-
lined the activities of their re-
spective agencies.
Pointing to the educational pro -
great by the local schools, praising
local leadership, Safran expressed
confidence that "Detroit is one
Community which will continue to
draw inspiration from its past
while facing the future boldly with
its constant challenges in a chang-
ing environment to meet the), in-
creasing, needs of our oppressed
I
people."
William A v n i n , executive
director Of Federation, outlining
the highlights of local agencies'
activities, spoke of Detroit's role
la support of overseas and local
projects,and described the context
in which "voluntary social and
communal services exist and Fed-
eration and its agencies function."
He described the progress in local
community efforts and stayd:
"We live in a society in nhich
we act as individuals and • in
.which we also act in the name
of our religious grouping. Con-
sciousness of this characteris-
tic must lead us to deepen our
conviction about the importance
of the organized Jewish commu-
. laity. The achievements of the
people of Israel, of the programs
of oar great national organiza-
tions and in turn the services
of oar local agencies, acting in
concert beyond the humanitarian
work they do, become a source
if personal pride and status for
each of us and for our children.
The recognition of the Jews who
constitute less than 5 per cent of
the American population as one
of the three great faiths of our
country is no benevolent acci-
dent. Against this background
theerganized Jewish community
takes its rightful place on the
broad issues of our times; in ad-
vancing democratic rights for
all; and, in the aggressive pro-
gram to wipe out poverty?'
The treasurer's report, submit
ted by Jacob Citrin, showed a total
of $5,031,817 in payments on all
previous campaigns received in
1964. Citrin reported that the 1964
eampaign now stands at 68.9 per
eent collected; the 1963 campaign,
88.4 per cent, and the 1962 cam-
paign, 92.7 per cent.
Citrin reported that the
United Jewish Appeal, major
campaign beneficiary, received
$2,218,011 in 1964. The bank
loan in behalf of the UJA was
reduced from $3,000,090 to
$2,100,000.
Presenting the Butzel Award to
Shapero, Max M. Fisher said the
recipient "typifies the modern
breed of businessman whose con-
cerns reach into areas outside of

n

and beyond the boundaries of cor-
porate profits. His 'Ite. 1ping hands
and generous heart have ever been
in the service of his fellowmen."
Shapero is chairman of the board
of Cunningham Drug Stores.
On March 27 Wayne State Uni-
versity will dedicate Shapero Hall
—a gift in Shapero's honor to
