Krochmals
a Golden Anniversary
MR. AND MRS. KROCHMAL
Mr. and Mrs. William Krochmal
of London Ave. were honored at a
recent luncheon given by their chil-
dren at the Town and Country Club
on the occasion of their 50th wed-
ding anniversary.
Their children are Dr. and Mrs.
Albert Krochmal and Mr. and Mrs.
Irving Shlom. •The couple has six
grandchildren.
The Krochmals were married
July 21, 1918, by the late Rabbi J.
Levine. They are members of Adas
Shalom Synagogue and Pisgah
Lodge, Bnai Brith. Mr. Krochmal
has been a member of Perfection
Lodge for 45 years and is now a
life member. He is also affiliated
with Moslem Temple since 1942.
The party was attended by rela-
tives and friends from New York
and California.
41;Y ear Separation
Ends for Livonian,,
Sister From Russia
A separation of 41 years came to
an end last weekend when Victor
Sherman welcomed to Detroit his
sister, Mrs. Shava Lorman, of
Libau, Russia.
Sherman, 61, a retired Chrysler
inspector, now works for Harvard
Row Kosher Meats and Poultry.
His "little sister," 57, is here for a
three-month visit.
In 1927, after years of hunger
and hardship, Sherman came to
Detroit to join his father. Later,
his mother died, and his brother
was killed by the Nazis when they
overran Russia. Shava's husband
and child also were killed by the
Nazis.
Although Sherman and Mrs.
Lorman lost touch during the
war, she found her brother's ad-
dress and they worked out the
reunion. Mrs. Lorman is unable
to converse in English, but she
and Sherman are communicating
in Yiddish.
Mrs. Lorman, whose husband
works in a factory, said "life is
fine" in the Soviet Union. Although
there- is no synagogue nearby,
"they know they are Jews," ac-
cording to her sister-in-law.
The Shermans reside at 19629
Rensellor, Livonia.
Together they have reached a
difficult collective goal. They've
qualified for the 1968 Paralympic
Games to be held Nov. 3-13 in Tel
Aviv.
They'll represent the Wayne
State University Roadrunners,
an incorporated, n o n - profit
wheelchair athletic club and will
be part of the 70-member USA
delegation to Israel which leaves
Nov. 2 if . . . .
They will if their cry for help
is answered. They need to raise
some $3,500 to $4,000 to meet
their expenses and those of their
WSU disabled students adviser,
Miss Elizabeth Ferris.
The are no university funds
to support such a project as this.
In all likelihood, they'll put in
some of the funds themselves, but
they'll need far more than what
they can find in their own pockets.
The National Wheelchair group
has no elaborate fund-raising sys-
tem as the United States Olympic
Committee has for sending USA
athletes to the quadrennial games
of the International Olympic move-
ment.
So, team captain Jack Donaldson
has started a Roadrunner Olympic
Fund at a bank branch, a brisk
wheelchair hike from his campus
residence.
The five WSU students selected
qualified as part of the 12-member
Wayne State entry in the 1968 Na-
tional Wheelchair Games. They
won the Michigan Wheelchair
Games for the second straight
year in 1968. They also had a sec-
ond the first time they competed
in 1966.
At the International Paralym-
pics in Israel, there will be 28
nations entered from five con-
tinents. They'll compete in table
tennis, archery, basketball, sev-
eral swim events, f e n c i n g,
weight-lifting, and such track
and field events as javelin, dis-
cus, shot put, dashes, relays and
slalom.
The Paralympics are being
staged in Israel as part of that
nation's 20-year celebration. The
wheelchair athletics will be quar-
tered in the Kfar Hamaccabia
Sports Village and also have a
one-week tour to Athens and Rome
tacked on to their trip if they
make up the money which seems
enormous to them.
Checks are welcome when made
out to Roadrunner Olympic Fund,
care of Disabled Students Office,
Mackenzie Hall, WSU, Detroit.

Southfield boy who was badly burn-
