Dr. Haber Lauded for Contribution Greenspon-GalensTroth UHS Parent-Teachers Association
to Education at ORT Men's Dinner Announced in Chicago to Tackle Neighborhood Problem
An ornate brass menorah made
in a Strasbourg vocational school
was presented to Dr. William
Haber Sunday night as "a symbol
of the light you have given to all
of us." Occasion was a testimonial
dinner for Dr. Haber held by the
year-old, 300-member Detroit Men's
Chapter, American ORT Federa-
tion.
Paul Bernick, executive director
of the Federation, made the
presentation of the candelabrum
on behalf of the staff of ORT, the
Organization for Rehabilitation
Through Training, of which Dr.
Haber is national president.
The dinner at the Pontchartrain
Hotel was attended by members
of the men's group and friends of
ORT, which operates a system of
trade schools and training units
throughout the world.
In paying tribute to his friend,
guest speaker Dr. Harlan Hatch-
er, president of the University
of Michigan, also praised the
work of ORT as a "part of the
broad spectrum of education
that knows no break whatever
from kindergarten through
graduate research and training
. . . Education is the key that un-
locks the door to opportunity
and national greatness."
Dr. Hatcher said, "We have too
long overlooked in this nation the
education of an entire group of
people in an area where they are
capable of making a contribution.
There is a growing concern, now,
for the 'misfits' of our society."
ORT schools have recognized such
need abroad, he said.
Dean of the college of literature,
science and the arts at U. of M.,
Dr. Haber was saluted by a former
colleague of his, Dr. Arthur Ross,
new commissioner of the U.S. Bur-
eau of Labor Statistics. Ross
read a message from Secretary of
Labor Willard Wirtz, who ex-
tended the gratitude of the govern-
ment for Dr. Haber's contributions.
Another message, from U.S.
Ambassador to the United Na-
tions Arthur Goldberg, was read
by Detroit Men's Chapter Presi-
dent Harry H. P1 a t t, who
presided at the .dinner.
William A v r u n i n, executive
director of Detroit's Jewish Wel-
fare Federation, brought Federa-
tion greetings.
Rabbi Morris Adler _ of Cong.
Shaarey Zedek introduced Dr.
Haber, referring to three H's
that characterize the honoree:
"Humor, Humility and Humanity."
The humor was evident through-
out the entire e v e n i n g. Dr.
Haber would respond to a joke
with his characteristic explosion
of laughter, and he started his own
remarks with "I've taken copious
notes on everything said, and I'll
mount them in an appropriate
testimonial for my study. If Fan-
nie Haber (his wife) calls atten-
tion to any of my shortcomings,
I'll call her attention to my
testimonial."
Dr. Haber reviewed the ac-
complishments of ORT, partic-
ularlS, since World War II "when
it arose out of the ashes, reviv-
ing a dead people in the DP
camps of Europe." He cited the
work of the schools in North
Africa, France, Israel, Bombay
and Iran, where ORT "has
changed the entire frame of
reference for boys and girls,"
and, in teaching them skills,
"giving them a sense of dignity
they never had."
The organization is helping the
U.S. State Department with its aid
programs in South America and
the new nations of Africa, Dr.
Haber said, adding "Is there
something in the ORT type of ed-
ucation than can be used in the
education of Negroes in the
pockets of poverty we're trying to
wipe out?"
Ann Arbor industrialist Tom
Cook, who was trained in the
ORT schools of Russia, where
the movement was founded in
1880, was present at the dinner.
Mrs. Nate Schlafer spoke for the
women's group of ORT, calling
"our success the greatest tribute
we could pay to Dr. Haber."
Dr. Richard C. Hertz of Temple
Beth El delivered the invocation,
and Judge Benjamin D. Burdick
read the report of the nominating
committee.
Officers elected by voice vote
were Platt; Lawrence Gubow and
Malcolm S. Lowenstein, vice presi-
dents; Earl R. Gilman, secretary-
treasurer; and board members
Rabbi Adler, Louis Berry, Martin
L. Butzel, Leo I. Franklin, Harvey
H. Goldman, Lawrence I. Levi,
Judge Theodore Levin, Abe Shiff-
man and David K. Page.

that facilities at Mumford and
in other schools are more than
adequate and are adapted to the
° hildren's needs.
The call to the meeting states:
"We feel that it is important
and desirable to maintain a stable
neighborhood. As a minority
group, we should be tolerant of
others different from ourselves.
There are many who do not want
to move and some families are
unable financially to make a move
to more expensive housing. And
certainly, there does not appear
to be a need again to burden
ourselves with new building funds,
to replace existing institutions."
