afternoon at the Detroit Zoo.

An experiment in special per-
sonal attention for disadvantaged
children held in Detroit's Palmer
Park this summer may prove to be
the beginning of a larger program
in coming years.
For six weeks, a group of volun-
teers—teachers, high school and
college students and businessmen
—took time to be a special friend,
teacher and adviser to a selected
child.
The program was a cooperative
effort of the Junior Division of the
Jewish Welfare Federation, with
Joseph Levin as chairman of the
project.
Fifteen children were chosen
by Detroit Board of Education
personnel from the fifth, sixth
and seventh grades at Greenfield
Park School, 17501 Brush. A
volunteer was selected for each
child, and for two hours on
T u e s d a y, Wednesdays and
Thursdays they learned, went
sight-seeing in Detroit, played
games together and just had fun.
The youngsters came from large
families where parents did not
have enough titne to spend with
each child or from broken homes
where the parent worked and had
only a minimum of hours for his
child. Some came from homes
where there was not quite enough
money, time or ability to give the
children the benefit of new cul-
tural eperiences.
The et-Waren are not retarded
but are bright and happy. In some
instances they are not using their
entire mental capacity because of
a lack of personal attention or
because of limited horizons of the
family. All of them seemed to
benefit from the experience of
having their own personal friends
to give them undivided attention.
The program began the first
part of July and continued for six
weeks.
The first hour of the two-hour
afternoon sessions was devoted to
catching up on some reading or
practice in writing or arithmetic.
Each adult, with the help of the
child, decided just what was
needed in the area of study. There
were games and fun with the whole
group.
If the weather was inclement
or they needed an inside location,
everyone went to Temple Israel
which offered its facilities
One day a. week—usually Thurs-
day—was exploring day, and the
group went on a trip to the zoo
or the Art Institute or the Histori-
cal Museum. Once they went for
an afternoon swim at the Lafayette
Tow rs.
The children had no costs, as
the volunteers shared whatever
expenses there were.
i "We are hopeful that this is jUst
the start of a much bigger pro-
gram," Levin said. "If we can
help children by providing the
personal attention and opportunity
to expand their minds, their inter-
ests and their experiences, it is
well worth doing."
Volunteers who worked with
the program were Richard Segal,
Janice Natinsky, Barbara Miller,
Kathy Lovenger, Kay Tulupman,
Deborah Koralitz, Deborah Gor-
don, Nan Halpern, Linda Klein,
Shirley Grossman, Jan Leventer,
Susan Caplan, Helen Caplan,
Susan Praiser, Barbara Rowers
and Carole Duchan.
The Junior Division of the Jew-
ish Welfare Federation is made up
of young men and women up to
35 years old who are interested in
social welfare programs. They also
work at fund raising during the
Allied Jewish Campaign in the
spring.
Dr. Krohn stated that "the con-
tinuing disabilities imposed on Jews
in the Soviet Union, who are
proscribed from living their lives
as Jews, has pointed up the need
for increased efforts on the part
of American Jewry. This increased
activity will require an ongoing
local structure to deal specifically
with the problem, and this will
be the responsibility of our new
committee."
In addition to initiating ap-
propriate local projects, the new
committee will also coordinate the
various national programs within
the Detroit metropolitan area.
Along with interested individuals,
the committee will be composed
of local representatives of the 25
national organizations which com-
promise the American Jewish Con-
ference on Soviet Jewry.
Members of the committee in-
elude: Alfred H. Bounin, Jack
Carper. Dr. Arthur Field, Rabbi
Leon Fram, Rabbi James I. Gordon,
Leonard Gordon, Rabbi Benjamin
Gorr elic k, Lawrence Gubow,
Moishe Haar, Rabbi David Jessel,
Morris Kane, Jerome Kelman,
Benjamin Laikin, Jack Malamud,
Earl Mandel, Mrs. Leon Popowski,
Martin Rose, Richard Lobenthal,
David Sislin and Mrs. Nathan
Spevakow.
