Mrs. Jones' New National Role
By MARIANNE ZEITLIN
(A Seven Arts Feature)
NEW YORK—Keeping up with
Mrs. Jones—Mrs. Harry L. Jones,
the newly-elected national chair-
man of the UJA Women's Division
— would be a most worthwhile
aspiration, but well-nigh impos-
sible, for there is hardly a com-
munity service in her home town
of Detroit which has not felt her
MRS. HARRY L. JONES
fine and unique hand. Her many-
splendored contributions in civic,
political, philanthropic and social
service agencies have earned her
many accolades, including the
Woman of the Year Civic Award
in 1963 by the Women's Adver-
tising Club of Detroit.
When Jennie Jones first came
to the Motor City however, the
situation was different. She re-
calls the days in 1941 when
museums were not open to the
public and there was no sym-
phony orchestra until Sam's Cut-
Rate Stores came to the rescue
by sponsoring free symphony
concerts in a downtown Detroit
theater and hiring a young un:I
known conductor named Leon-
ard Bernstein. Today Detroit's
museums, concerts and cultural
life are deservedly renowned
and Mrs. Jones has been a vital
part of this growth.
She was on the original com-
mittee to. bring Grand Opera to
Detroit and of particular interest
is the coordinated educational pro-
gram which she initiated on be-
half of opera in the school System.
The schools give lectures and dem-
onstrations on the history and plot
of the different operas so that the
children have been properly pre-
pared to appreciate what they are
seeing. Many cities throughout the
country could benefit by instituting
=similar programs in the schools.
Concern about cultural ac-
ities came naturally to Mrs.
‘es, a one-time student of
Min and Fokine of the Rus-
Ballet. Although she gave
up her career when she got
.married, when already a grand-
mother, she went back to school
at Wayne University in 1959 and
earned a master's degree in
humanities and liberal arts. Ap-
propriately enough, she chose
Diaghilev as the subject for her
thesis, the grand Russian im-
presario who brought the Rus-
sian Ballet to Paris and first
introduced the Stravinsky "Rites
of Spring" to a then startled
world.
Now the whole country will
have an opportunity to meet this
plucky, chic lady from Detroit
whose dancing background is re
fleeted in her graceful demeanor.
She will be travelling around the
country to help raise the $75,000,-
000 set as the goal for 1967 UJA
campaign.
"You wouldn't recognize Israel
today," she said sadly, "it is beset
by so many new problems. There
is unemployment and all the un-
happiness it brings, particularly
for the newest immigrants. There
immigrants have to be 'absorbed',
but totally 'absorbed', otherwise
-
the cleavage between them and
the older citizens becomes greater
and greater. And then there is the
ever-worsening condition of na-
tional security. How can we not
care about this?"
Helping people is a family tradi-
tion to which Mrs. Jones points
with particular pride. Her grand-
parents helped to establish the
Hebrew Free Loan Society in New
York and her parents carried on
in this work. She and her husband
have more than done their share
in Detroit. Her daughter is a
worker in the Young Matrons' Di-
vision of the UJA in Chicago and
her son is also active in Detroit.
Now there are five grandchildren
to continue in the work.
The list of Mrs. Jones' affilia-
tions are many. She was national
chairman of the Council of Jewish
Federations and Welfare Funds
and is on the boards of the Detroit
Symphony, Grand Opera Associa-
tion, Sinai Hospital—to cite a few.
"After all, Izedakah'," Mrs.
Jones said thoughtfully, "is the
cornerstone of Judaism, but I
mean charity in its broadest
sense, total commitment, total in-
volvement, helping and being
helped yourself thereby."
