Rites to Be Held in May Sales Go for LZO Education and Youth
Her love for Yiddish, nostalgic,
links with the community whence
she came to the United States,
deeply interested in the literature
of the Jewish people—Adele Mon-
dry herself turned to writing her
recollections of the Old World
while depicting also impressions
of life in this country in which she
now holds citizenship.
This devotion to the printed word
and her desire to share her knowl-
edge with a vaster audience has
resulted in her writing a book of
Yiddish stories—"A Shtedtl Beim
Bug" — "A Town by the River
Bug".
The book was published by
Maasef Israel Publishing. House
in Tel Aviv and is now available
in this country. It is dedicated to:
sented a large number of copies
io the Labor Zionist movement in
Detroit, proceeds to be used for
educational and youth activities.
Her stories are impressive recol-
lections of life in her home town,
about personalities who impressed
her, occurrences that left their
mark upon her.
An explanatory prefatory chap-
ter describes Mrs. Mondry's early
experiences in this country after
she had left her childhood home
during the Bolshevik-Polish war.
She tells autobiographically how,
while working for $10 a week
upon her coming to the U.S,., she
continued to devote herself to Yid-
dish culture, later turning more
diligently to English, earning a de-
gree from Wayne State University.

NEW YORK (JTA)
A YM-
YWHA in the Bronx has moved
three times since 1935 to new lo-
cations as the neighborhood it
served changed from Jewish to
non-Jewish. For the third time, it
has developed a series of pro-
grams to meet the needs of poor
Puerto Ricans and Negroes set-
tling in the area as its Jews moved
elsewhere.
In each of its first two locations,
the East Bronx Y left an agency
prepared to continue the .group
work and recreational " services
created by the Y for the local
non-Jewish community. The first
home of the Y, occupied from 1934
to 1942, is now the Casita Maria
Settlement House, an agency or-
iginally created in Harlem by Ne-
groes and Puerto Ricans. The Y's
second home, occupied from 1942
to 1958, it now the Broibi Boys
Club, one of a number of such
clubs privately financed by New
York social agencies.
