Dora Ehrlich Accorded Community's
Honors Celebrating Hei 8 5t1thirthday

An intimate gathering of more
than 100 of her friends and ad-
mirers became more than a social
event for Dora Ehrlich, last Sun-
day afternoon.
The gathered
came to pay hon-
or to Detroit's
First Lady on
the eve of her
85th birthday she
celebrated on
Feb. 1. They also
shared with her
the joy of mark-
ing the comple-
tion of another
project in her
honor in Israel— Mrs. Isenberg
the establishment of a Dora Ehrlich
Lounge at the Orthopedic Wing of
the Hadassah-Hebrew University
Medical Center in Jerusalem. The
'orthopedic wing itself 'was named
in her honor 15 years ago, on hei
70th birthday.
The current project netted more
•than $50,000, thanks to the efforts
`.of Leonard N. Simons. The work
of gathering funds here was con-
ducted by the medical services

committee of Detroit Hadassah
under the chairmanship of Mrs.

William B. Isenberg. The event

honoring Mrs. Ehrlich marked the

completion of 15 years of services
as chairman of that committee by
'Mrs. Isenberg, who commenced
her volunteer activities as medi-
cal services chairman when the
project was launched to honor
Mrs. Ehrlich on her 70th birth-
day.
The event on Sunday, in Mrs.
Ehrlich's honor as attended by
her daughter and son-in-law, Dr.
and Mrs. Samuel Gingold, and her
grandson. Harvey Gingold, of Sy-
racuse. N.'s.' and her son, Henry
Ehrlich of Los Angeles.
Rabbi Morris Adler was the
spokesman for the gathered friends
and relatives in presenting a cer-
tificate to Dora Ehrlich signifying
the honor extended to her. She
responded in an impressiVe brief
talk in which she expressed ap-
preciation for many friendships
•she enjoyed during the many years

of her activities in Detroit's Jewish
and civic affairs.

Israel was indicated in a state-
ment Leonard N. Simons received
from Dr. Kalman J. Mann, director
of the medical center in Jeru-
salem. The statement declares:
"The great majority of in-pa-
tients are referred to the Hadas-
sah-Hebrew University Medical
Center by public agencies such as
Sick Funds, Municipal Welfare
Departments, the Army, Ministry
of Health and similar bodies. The
problems arise with regard to the
uninsured and unsponsored pa-
tients, i.e., those who come to the
hospital on their own. Of the 2,-
933 patients in this category, dis-
charged from the Hadassah-He-
brew University Medical Center
(24.3 per cent of the total), 245
or 8.3 per cent in this group were
hospitalized completely free of
charge; 52 or 1.8 per cent paid up
to IL 5. - per diem; 1,603 or 54.6
per cent paid IL 5.001 - 10. - per
diem and the payments of 1,033
cases or 35.2 per cent varied from
IL 10 to IL 20.0. Thus you see
that in this group of what we call
"unsponsored patients" quite a
sizeable percentage pay nothing;
more than one-half defray only
1/6 to 1/3 of the actual cost
of their hospitalization (which
amounts at present to about IL
30. ($10) - per day, while slightly
more than one-third pay some-
thing between 1/3 and 2/3 of the
cost.
"The social aspect of Hadassah's
payments policy is even more pro-
nounced in the Outpatient De-
partment. There, more than 800
patients avail themselves of the
services of our first-class special-
ists every day, nearly always pay-
ing only a nominal fee. The OPD
tariffs range at present from IL
0.300 to IL 3. - per visit. Only a
very small proportion of the pa-
tients approach the maximum fee,
while 20 per cent of them are giv-
en care practically free of charge.

2 Area Men Map Plans Downtown
for Old-Time Area of Shops, Shows

Two local men—a young high
school teacher and a real estate
developer—are hoping to do what
no Detroiter has yet accomplished:
create a downtown tourist en-
tertainment center. The project:
Plum Street, a community of old-
time theaters and shops, galleries
and restaurants.
Robert Cobb, 24, of 18968 Hart-
well, and Sherman Shapiro, 57,
of 18084 Warrington, have pur-
chased a strip of buildings on
Plum Street near Elton Park, be-
tween Michigan Ave. and the
Lodge and Fisher freeways.
The two men, who have in-
vested some $50,000 in the proj-
ect, hope to transform the neigh-
borhood of old buildings into
an area like Chicago's Old Town
or St. Louis' Gas Light Square.

If the first section of 30 shops
is well rented, they plan to expand
the area down Fourth to Cherry.
They are inviting all who are
interested in creating an entertain-
ment center to join in the project.
A grand opening is planned for
the July 4 weekend.

Decline in Use of Kosher
Meat Deplored by Shotim

Extent of Free Services
Editor, The Jewish News:
Indicated by Hadassah
We would like to call attention
The extent of free services rend- to the fact that in the past 20 years
ered to indigents by Hadassah in the use of kosher meat in Detroit
has gone down tremendously. We
can estimate this by the amount
of kosher slaughtering as it now
stands compared to the earlier
date.
We are shocked that sacred
simhas, like Bar Mitzvahs and wed-
dings, are celebrated at non-kosher
places.
Kashruth has sustained the Jew-
ish people. The situation is urgent.
We must beg our rabbis to earn-
estly preach to their congrega-
tions that kashruth is one of the
basic laws of the Jewish faith,
and needs to be re-established.
The Hebrew and religious schools
train our children of the import-
ance of kashruth. It destroys what
the school teaches to celebrate at
a non-kosher party.
Kashruth will disappear if we do
not act now.

Authority on Day
Schools, to Speak

Mrs. Nathan D. Perlman
(right), Hadassah's national
chairman for public relations,
presents the latest model of
a vascular stapler — one of
surgery's most up-to-date instru-
ments—to Prof. Nathan Saltz,
head of Hadassah's department
of surgery. The stapler was a
gift to Hadassah from David
Rose, prominent American phil-
anthropist, who sponsored spe-
cial research to improve this in-
strument originally developed by
Soviet scientists. The improved
vascular stapler is the first of its
kind to be used in an Israeli
hospital.
