Youfh Singing, Games in Dover Paperbacks
In Britain, ancient traditions
like the rituals of Border warfare
are kept alive in an unexpected
form—in children's singing games
like "We Are the Rovers." In this
game children line up on two sides
and re-enact one of the Medieval
battles in which English forces
defended their garrisons against
invading troops from Wales.
The words, tunes, and directions
for playing eight of these tradi-
tional games are provided by
Alice B. Gomme in one of the most
charming children's • books ever
printed, "Children's Singing
Games With the Tunes to Which
They Are Sung." Originally pub-
lished in 1894 in a limited edition
of 110 copies, this beautifully de-
signed work is now available from
Dover in paperback. Mrs. Gomme,
an important folklorist whose
"Traditional Games of England,
Scotland, and Ireland" is also
available from Dover in two
Temple Tutors Aid
Inner-City Youth
Birmingham Temple Youth will
join their elders this summer in
a Head Start tutorial program. -
Members of Birmingham Temple
have sponsored a program for in-
ner-city children for the past three
years — not only helping them
with schoolwork, but taking them
on trips and supplying them with
warm clothing for winter.
This Kennedy School Project has
grown from a small program to
the virtual adoption of an entire
school.
In May, members sponsored
a weekend at the Detroit Recre-
ation Camp for 96 fifth and sixth
graders. Sunday school boys and
girls contributed to the project,
as did a fraternity at Eastern
State College.
Temple members and Kennedy
teachers accompanied the chil-
dren, who spent their days with
arts and crafts, nature hunts, a
small boat regatta and story hours.
Interested volunteers — students
age 15 to 17 — may call Mrs. Don-
ald Black, chairman, 543-6957.
Membership in the temple is not
required.

esting background information on
the games — "Poor Mary Sits a-
Weeping," "When I Was a Young
Girl," and others. The numerous
drawings, border designs, and
full-page plates that decorate the
book are by Winifred Sthith.
Eighteen more traditional folk
games from England and America
—Virginia Reels "Draw a Bucket
of Water" "Old Roger" etc.—are
found in "Singing Games and
Playparty Gam6s" compiled by

Bnai David Youth to Help Write Tora
Scroll During Special Ceremonies
547-4805
Leaders of the Bnai David
youth groups and honor students
in the Bnai David High School
program will participate in the
unique 'Siyum Hasefer" cere-
monies to be held at the syna-
gogue 2 p.m. June 7, Melville J.
Richman, chairman of the pro-
gram, announced.
Siyum Hasefer means the com-
pletion of writing a Tora scroll.
The writing of a personal Tora
scroll is a special mitzva, Rabbi
Hayim Donin, spiritual leader of
the congregation, explained. One
is enabled to participate by writ-
ing at least one letter into the
Tora. When a new Tora is pres-
ented it is customary to leave the
last few words or last few lines
incomplete and during the Siyum
Hasefer to honor individuals with
the opportunity to fill in a letter.
This is done under the guidance
of a scribe who directs the indi-
vidual in how to do it properly.
The contribution of a new sefer
Tora to the congregation in mem-
ory of Daniel and Fannie Litsky
will provide the opportunity. In
addition to members of the Litsky
family and leading members of
the congregation participants will
be those young people of the con-
gregation who have been partic-
ularly outstanding either in their
Hebrew studies or in their service
to the congregation.
The community is invited.

Anti-Israel Move
Defeated by ILO
GENEVA (JTA)—The Interna-
tional Labor Organization adopted
a resolution on human rights after
a week of heated debate during
which the Arab delegates support-
ed by the Soviet bloc and several
so-called n o n - aligned countriel
tried in vain to force inclusion of
anti-Israel amendments. The ILO
resolution took note of a human
rights proclamation by the recent
International Conference on Hu-
man Rights in Teheran. Iran, but
rejected Arab amendments which
would have mentioned an anti-
Israel resolution at Teheran which
accused Israel of violating human
rights in occupied Arab terri-
tories. In addition to the Commu-
nist bloc, the Arab amendment
was supported by Yugoslavia, In-
dia, Pakistan, Ghana and Ethiopia.
The Arabs also failed to have spe-
cific mention of Palestinian Arab
refugees included in the ILO para-
graph which stated that displaced
refugees all over the world are
the concern of the international
community.
The ILO resolution on human
rights denounced discriminatory
practices, the denial of freedom of
association and all other infringe-
ments on human rights. It called
on member states to take immedi-
ate steps to eliminate injustices
and authorized the director-gen-
eral of the ILO to report at the
next conference the steps taken
by member states to eliminate vio-
lations of human rights.
