Cleveland Federation
Creates Heroism Award;
Catholic Youth Winner
CLEVELAND (JTA)—The Cleve-
land Jewish Community Federa-
tion has created a program to rec-
ognize acts of heroism by Cleve-
land residents, called the "Broth-
er's Keeper" award. A freshman
major at the Catholic university
was the first recipient of the
award, given him for jumping out
of his car to help a man being at-
tacked by five assailants.
Lloyd Schwenger, federation
president, said the awards were
made from a "Harry H. Stone
Special Purpose Fund" organized
to recognize "those few people
who rise above ordinary character-
istics." He said the award was so
named "because we Jews are the
people of the book from which the
phrase 'brother's keeper' origi-
nated." Stone is a trustee of the
federation.
The first recipient was Frank A.
Chenette, a student at John Carroll
University. Trustee Frank Joseph
presented him with a check for
$1,000 and an inscribed clock radio.
The attackers fled after stabbing
the student, who was in the hospi-
tal for eight days recovering from
the wound.
Rev. Joseph A. Schell, president
of the university, said he was
proud of the youth and hoped
others "would follow this basic
Judeo-Christian act with similar
acts of involvement."
The award will be given periodi-
cally to those who involve them-
selves at the risk of health, wel-
fare, safety or life, to protect or
help another person, or to further
the administration of justice when
they have no legal obligation to do
so.
'Etiquette': Splendid Llewellyn Miller Encyclopedia
In an introduction to "The En-
cyclopedia of Etiquette — A Guide
to Good Manners in Today's
World" by Llewellyn Miller, pub-
lished by Crown (419 Park, S.,
NY16), there is an impressive in-
troductory essay by another noted
authority on the subject, Cleve-
land Amory.
Commending Miss Miller's vol-
umiinous work of 460 pages in
which she covers nearly every im-
portant factor related to etiquette,
Amory states in part:
"My dictionary defines eti-
workable ground rules and foul book that snakes it suitable for ad5
occasions, usable in all 110Ciai
lines."
