Akiva Concert Draws 2,000
Some 2,000 were in attendance
for the second annual Akiva He-
brew Day School concert, Sunday
evening at Ford Auditorium.
There was high praise for Sergiu
Comissiona, the former Haifa Sym-
phony Orchestra musical director,
who led the Detroit Symphony
Orchestra in Berlioz' Roman Car-
nival Overture; Ben-I-laim's Three
Movements; Bruch's Concerto No.
1 for Violin and Orchestra; and
Franck's Symphony in D Minor.
The young violinist Madeline
Schatz performed solo portions in
the Bruch work—one step in her
climb upward as a concert per-
former.
For his dedication and con-
tribution to classical music,
Mischa Mischakoff, longtime
concertmaster of the Detroit
Symphony, was presented with a
plaque by the day school.
Akiva Student Council President
Gary Torgow, who is in the eighth
grade, delivered a brief speech in
both Hebrew and English, follow-
ing the tribute to Mischakoff by
Moses Berlin, Akiva vice presi-
dent.
In his comments, Berlin said:
"As we recognized many weeks
ago when we planned this event,
music has always been an inte-
gral part of the Jewish social,
religious and cultural milieu; edu-
cation has always been an integral
part of the Jewish social, religious
and cultural milieu. Both have be-
come a part of Jewish purpose
and have been embraced by us.
"Tonight, we pay tribute to an
individual whose dedication to ex-
cellence in music has manifested
itself in the devoted, energetic and
affectionate way he seeks to teach
as well as to perform.
"By such tribute, we take note
once again of the confluence, of
the coming together, in our tradi-
tion, of beautiful music with con-
scientious instruction and thus we
fulfill the inspiration of King
David, a musician and a teacher,
for we indeed combine the 'joyous
song' of Psalms, with its testi-
mony to our heritage."
Standard Federal, Birmingham Bank
Merge Into $500,000,000 Savings-Loan
A merger of Standard Federal
Savings and Loan Association and
Birmingham Federal Savings and
Loan Association has been ap-
proved by the Federal Home Loan
Bank in Washington, D.C.
Joining of the two financial in-
stitutions will bring their combined
assets to more than $500,000,000,
making it one of the nation's larg-
est savings and loan organizations.
The announcement was made by
Robert J. Hutton, president of
Standard Federal, and Henry F.
Johnson, president of Birmingham
Federal Savings.
Johnson pointed out that the
savings and loan policies of both
associations "have been almost
Identical for many years. This
merger is a rather natural devel-
opment for two associations of
equal strength and purpose to
put their resources together to
Business

GAGE CO., Citizens Presiden

sidiary of Citizens Mortgage. Royal

ly developing area."
Chairman of the board will be
Walter J. L. Ray, present board
chairman of Standard Federal
Savings and Loan Association.
Hutton will be president and man-
aging officer.
W. Emerson Clyma and Johnson
were elected executive vice presi-

31 were $55,741,000.

Its assets on Dec. 31 were $445,-
595,000.
Hutton said "This merger will
fully utilize all of the employes of
both Birmingham Federal and
Standard Federal Savings and will
open new opportunities for growth
and development which are in-
herent in a half-billion-dollar cor-
poration. There will be few
changes in operations because for
many years our associations have
operated in similar manner. How-
ever, hours for the Birmingham
Federal offices will be extended
to conform with the hours for all
other Standard Federal offices.
All offices will open at 9:30 and
close at 5 except on Friday when

Bnai Brith Girls Allocate
$60,000 for Projects
in Israel, N. America
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Bnai
Brith Girls organization announces
the allocation of more than $60,000
to assist philanthropic endeavors
in Israel and North America and
to further Jewish education and
youth leadership training. BBG is
the teen-age-girls' component of the
Bnai Brith Youth Organization,
world's largest Jewish youth move-
ment.
The 10 delegates to a series of
meetings here also approved a
resolution dire c t e d to French
President Georges Pompidou on
the eve of his announced visit to
Washington. They deplored French
sale of jet planes to Libya which,
they maintained, can "weigh the
political and military scales against
Israel" and "raise the hopes of
Arab militarists that a 'new round'
against Israel will bring them the
victory their previous aggressions
failed to attain."
A similar resolution was passed
earlier this month by the executive
board of Aleph Zadik Aleph, boys'
component of the Bnai Brith Youth
Organization.
