A special enrichment program for good readers who are inter-
ested in discussing great ideas with one another is under way at
Hillel Day School. Fifth and sixth grade students meet once every

co-leaders, they discuss a book they have all read prior to the
meeting. Three mothers from Hillel, trained for three months by
staff members of the Great Books Foundation, hold leadership
certificates for discussion leaders. Readings selected for this year
include "Aesop's Fables" and "Medieval Tales;" Fabre's Selections
in Science;" Browning's "The Pied Piper of Hamlin;" and Tolstoy's
"Fables." At a session are (from left, clockwise) : Mark Brandwine,

Youth News
ZOD Scholarship to Israeli School
Reuben Young, chairman of the
youth commission of the Zionist
Organization of Detroit, this week
announced a decision of the local
branch of the Zionist Organization
of America to provide a full schol-
arship for a ninth or tenth grade
Detroit student in the newly-formed
Mollie Goodman High School at
Kfar Silver in Israel.
Young said the ZOD plan calls
for selection, by a panel of ap-
pointed judges, of an outstanding
American stu-
dent, a boy or
girl, whose tui-
tion, travel ex-
penses and a
year's sustenance
will be covered.
All Detroit
schools are being
asked to submit
the names of an Young
outstanding student who will
qualify for a year's study in Israel
on the ZOD scholarship.
Since the winner will be expected
to commence his studies in Israel
in September, Young said that the
selection will commence at once,
as soon as the nominees are sub-
mitted by principals of local
schools.
"We believe that 20 candidates
may qualify as candidates from
among whom we hope to select a
student with high ratings for such
a scholarship," Carmi M. Slomo-
vitz, ZOD president added. He said
that the recognition of the high
standards at Kfar Silver will assure
for the student selected by the
ZOD full credit for his or her

Duboisin's Narrative
Filled with Adventure
The children's book shelf is en-
riched by a splendid story for the
very, very young. "The Missing
Milkman," a delightfully illus-
trated text, pictures and story by
the author, tells about a special
holiday taken by the milkman
with his dog, in his truck
Sylvia is the dog, Amelia the
truck. That's how the author has
established intimacy.
What makes this tale stand out
is that it is imaginative, it is filled
with adventure, it provides fun and
is filled with humor.
