dy Sheyer and his orchestra, 8:30
p.m. Saturday at the Workmen's
Circle Center. All persons age 30-
50 are invited.
"Universities

clared. Posing "ek.
the question, Dr. Efros
"Why is youth bored?", he
warned that on account of the
great triumphs of science, the spir-
it is presently on the defensive.
He thereby explained the changes
in- science, "otherwise," he added,
"it would not be science—there-
fore casuality remains."
Speaking on the subject
"The Meaning of Spirit," Dr.
Efros declared that "spirit re-
fers to an ideal world." He de-
voloped his theme based in part
on "religious longings" and de-
clared that "spirit and being are
Council Supports
CornmuiiityCollege
Mina cre Proposal
Dr. Samuel Krohn, president of
the Jewish Community Council,
announced council support of the
forthcoming community college
and millage propositions and urged
organizational backing throughout
the Jewish community.
Citing the May 9 election as of
"crucial importance to the welfare,
growth and development of this
community," the council letter
pointed to the necessity of provid-
ing future educational needs of
100,000 high school graduates for
further academic education, voca-
tional and technical training. In his
letter to affiliated organizations
and to community leaders, Dr.
Krohn indicated the Jewish com-
munity's "traditional position in
support of strengthened public
education." Noting the massive
citizen-participation basis • behind
the civic group which is promoting
the millage and community college
issues, "Citizens for Education,"
the council president pointed to the
responsibility which the Detroit
Jewish community shares in sup-
porting measures aimed at the
good of the total community.
Community organizations were
invited to feature speakers who
can be obtained by calling the
"Citizens for Education" at 833-
0114. Endorsements by organiza-
tions were also suggested.
To be designated on the May 9
ballot as Propositions 1, 2 and 3,
the education proposals have al-
ready received the endorsement
of a growing list of business, labor,
service and fraternal organizations.
Volunteers for a telephone
campaign are needed, according
to Mrs: Thelma Zwerdling, co-
ordinator of the Citizens for Ed-
ucation campaign. Call 833-0114

JDC Joins Israel's
Health, Welfare Task
Malben will initiate or partic-
ipate in seven new medical and
social welfare projects during 1966,
it was announced by Theodore
Feder, Joint Distribution Commit-
tee director for Israel. These proj-
ects, along with 1VIalben's ongoing
program on behalf of aged, ill and
handicapped newcomers to Israel,
will entail expenditures of about
18,165,000 pounds (6,055,000), he
added.
Malben is JDC's welfare pro-
gram in Israel, financed with funds
from the United Jewish Appeal.
Feder reported that Israeli au-
thorities are expected shortly to
complete a survey of the needs of
Israel's aged. The s u r v e y was
prompted by JDC-Malben's pro-
posal for the establishment of a
national trust fund for the aged.
The proposal calls for national plan-
ning of all services for the aged,
both newcomers and longtime resi-
dents, on a community basis.
Feder observed that JDC-Malben
continues to maintain about half
of Israel's institutional facilities
for the aged. This includes eleven
old age homes with accommoda-
tions for some 3,300 residents, and
two hospitals for the chronically ill.
Feder pointed out that the pro-
portion of aged among new immi-
grants has risen in recent years.
This, added to the number of old
people in Israel has resulted in an
increase in the proportion of aged
(65 for men and 60 for women)
from 3.8 per cent of the population
in 1948 to almost 6 per cent today.
