Gift by Feinberg Boosts Library Whitman Display Nationwide interest is being shown in the presentation made by Detroiter Charles E. Feinberg of his vast Walt Whitman collection to the Library of Congress. Marking the 150th anniversary of Whitman's birthday, an exhibition of the Whitman collection opened May 30 at the library in Washing- ton. Feinberg, who was honored for his presentation at the opening of the exhibition; said: "Whit- man always hoped his papers would be at the Library of Con- gress. He always hoped his work would be read by the working people." It was announced in Washington that Feinberg is giving part of his collection to the Library of Con- gress, that he has arranged for the entire collection to go to the library eventually, along with an endowment fund which will enable the library to buy other manu- scripts and letters should they be- come available after his death. Feinberg, whose formal school- ing ended when he was 12, ex- plained that he is "a product of the library." He had read about Whitman in Canada where he was brought up, and his task of collect- ing Whitmania started when he bought a Whitman letter. He has been honored by many universities, several conferred hon- orary degrees upon him and he has an honorary Phi Beta Kappa mem- bership. 32—Friday, June 6, 1969 `Little Things' Viewed as Path to Observance Editor, The Jewish News: It is not surprising that our young people "drop out" or cease of identify with Jewish teachings or community. In the open society, there are few cohesive forces to retain their loyalty voluntarily. And fortunately, there are few ex- ternal rebuffs to force their in- voluntary participation. The situation is now ripe for the rediscovery of the Sabbath. Re- gardless of one's approach to posi- tive Judaism—religious, sociocul- tural, or pedagogical — everyone will agree with the statement made by Ahad Ha'Am some 80 years ago: ". . . more than Israel has preserved the Sabbath, the Sabbath preserved Israel." The methods for rediscovering the Sabbath, the approach for re- capturing the Sabbath and mak- ing it meaningful to us, will of course depend on each individual and each family. But sooner or later the approaches will become meaningful because they involve simple and repetitious personal commitments. *Announcements May 29—To Mr. and Mrs. Ed- Montreal, a daughter Sharon ward Samet (Roslyn Lichtenstein), Jeanine. * * * 15936 Stratford, Southfield, a son, May 23—To Mr. and Mrs. Mark Matthew Jason. * * t Hutton (Beverly Cohen), 7445 May 29—To Dr. and Mrs. Harold Franklin Ridge, Birmingham, a M.

MELVIN WEISZ League Salutes Jewish News' Role Editor, The Jewish News: With the closing of the year at hand, I want to thank you for your wonderful cooperation in interpreting our program to the Jewish community. League represents 174 organ- izations, as you are doubtless aware and all of us (thousands of women) take great pride in the high journalistic excellence of our Jewish News. It is more than an instrument of informa- tion; an institution to which many look for guidance and in- spiration. We all know that this is no by- product of accident, and we want to pay special tribute to one of your staff who, I am sure, is in- strumental in the production of this great newspaper. Mrs. Charlotte Dubin would win loyal readers for her integrity and conscientiousness alone. Add to this her fine handling of our copy and many articles on mat- ters of local human interest, and it is easy to see why she has such ardent fans—among them our pub- licity chairman. Mrs. Louis P. Mil- ler and myself . . . Therefore, we want to extend our gratitude to her, too. MRS. J.
