Henry Miller's Fiction: Jewish Secular Educational Organizations From U.S. to Hold'1st Conference in Detroit Ten organizations from through- out the U.S. will be represented at the first Conference of Jewish Secular Educational Organizations today through Sunday at the Jew- ish Center. The Center's Jewish Parents In- stitute is the conference host. Co- operating local organizations in- clude Sholem Aleichem Institute and the Ann Arbor Jewish Cul- tural School. Two days of workshops and dis- cussion groups will cover edu- cational materials and techniques, adult program and the role of sec- ular groups in the Jewish commu- nity. Each of the 10 participating groups has independently evolved an approach to Jewish' education and family belonging which stresses Jewish culture and iden- tity rather than religious observ- ance. Allegorical patterns in the writ- ings of Henry Miller are researched and outlined in a study made by Jane A. Nelson of the English de- partment of Bradford (Mass.) Jun- ior College. In her "Form and Image in the Fiction of Henry Miller," published by Wayne State University Press, Miss Nelson defines the archetypal world delineated in Miller's fiction and the sex aspects and the ob- scenity inherent in the stories. The conference will be their "Any final evaluation of his first exchange of view and achievement as a writer should experience with like-minded begin with the recognition that his work dramatizes a psychic process groups, and is expected to lead to a national organization on a and that his images reveal the continuing basis. nature of an inner world," Miss Feb. 16—To Mr. and Mrs. Alan Nelson states.

And they all do an excellent job. J. Nagler (Susan Simons), 26061 Take, for instance, the women's divisions of the Jewish Federations. Marlow, Oak Park, a son, Michael According to data made public now by the Council of Jewish Federa- JoeL tions and Welfare Funds, its women's division raised nearly $16,000,000 in 1969. This is more than 10 per cent of the total raised by federation sponsored campaigns. What is more—this sum is a 22 per cent gain over the previous year. Experienced Mohel This record-breaking total does not include New York. In New York, Serving in Hospitals & Homes the women's division of the UJA raised more than $5,000,000 and the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies has probably raised a similar sum. 544-2864 In some cities—like Detroit, Chicago and Los Angeles—the women's divisions raised over $1,000,000; Cleveland and Philadelphia raised over $750,000; Essex County, San Francisco and Montreal raised over Recommended by Physicians $500,000. RABBI Most interesting is the fact that more than 40 per cent of the total dollars contributed by the women in last year's campaign of the Federa- tions came from women who gave $500 and more. Those who gave Expert Mohei $1,000 and more constituted 28 per cent. This indicates the generous Serving Hospitals and Homes LI 1-9769 giving by Jewish women for Jewish needs which is growing with every LI 2-4444 year. The number of contributors in the category of $1,000 and over has increased over 13 per cent since last year. • SHALOM RALPH A STRONG FORCE: It is worthwhile stressing that in addition to the substantial contributions which Jewish women make to their local federations and to the United Jewish Appeal, they also contribute to other Jewish causes and to general humanitarian causes. Their contri- butions to these causes also total millions of dollars. LI 7-9489 Hadassah, for instance, raises more than $10,000,000 a year. Wom- en's American ORT, with its tens of thousands of members, raises about $2,000,000 annually. The women's division of the American Jewish RABBI SHAIALL Congress has quite an income. The National Council of Jewish Women raises substantial sums for its activities. The Pioneer Women, a labor Zionist group, raises every year more than $1,500,000 for projects in Israel. Then there are women's divisions of agencies like the United Hias Service. • 'Between You ...and Me' RABBI JOSHUA SPIRO Bethesda-Chevy Chase (Md.) Jew- ish Community Group, was estab- lished 28 years ago. The newest, the London (Ont.) Secular School, is less than a year old. Other vis- iting groups include the Palo Alto (Calif.)

Schwartz, president of the Jewish Welfare Federation, as chairman of the 1970 School of Jewish Studies (b o tb Chicago), Jewish Secular School of Cleveland and Jewish Secular Association of Toronto. Nine other organizations, from Maryland to British Columbia, were unable to send delegates but are expected to affiliate with the conference's continuing body. Detroiters who will be panelists in conference discussions include George M. Zeltzer of SholeM Aleichem Institute; Armand Laul. fer, Ann Arbor Jewish Cultural School; and Marvin Golden, Sam Sniderman and Harriet Gales, Jew- ish Parents Institute. Harold Gales of Jewish Parents Institute Is chairman of the conference plan- ning committee. Eagle Scout Rec- ognitionProgram.

MARSHALL MOHEL 353-5444 • • • JEWISH COMMITMENTS: In the course of their activities, leaders of the women's divisions in the federations have established a very interesting fact. The middle-aged woman approaches her Jewish com - mitments emotionally while the 30-year old woman approaches her commitment intellectually, questioning it constantly. In most instances the Jewish education of the younger woman is limited. She seeks clarification. She wants the answers not only for her own satisfaction but also in order to bring Jewish life closer to the family. The leaders of the women's divisions in the federations attempt to help the young matrons in clarifying Jewish values. They devise pro- grams wisely enough to interest the young. They recognize the impor- tance of making their younger members more knowledgeable and more educated in matters Jewish. They arrange for their orientation talks and evening institutes which stimulate thought and discussion. Through active participation in the fund-raising, the Jewish woman gradually becomes the "learned Jew" in the family. She often knows more about Jewish contemporary problems than her husband who is usually too busy with his business affairs. The women's divisions are thus playing an important role not only in helping to raise funds for Jewish causes, but also in bringing stronger Jewish feelings into the Jewish home. - Specialist in Volkswagen & Porsche Ferndale, Mich. 1018 W. 8 Mile Rd.
