Image of Jews' Success Doesn't Hold True Abroad NEW YORK (JTA) — Evelyn Peters, chief consultant on day care for the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, said on the WNYC "New York Tomor- row" program, the image of Jews as all being economically success- ful clashed with reality. "There are still many thousands of Jews overseas where the father earns no more than one dollar a day," she declared. As a result, she continued, in many areas of the world Jewish philanthropic agencies must con- tinue and enlarge their programs, especially in child care. She ob- served, there are still 55,000 Jews in Tunisia and Morocco ,with 1,000 children in JDC Day Care centers. Mid East Crisis Draws Record Parade Marchers NEW YORK—The crisis in the Middle East has prompted record participation in this year's Salute to Israel Parade.

Heitz, Narrator ALL ARE WELCOME MAX JANOWSKI graduated from the Scharwenka Con- servatory in Berlin. In 1933 he won a contest sponsored by the Imperial Academy of Music in Tokyo, Japan. He was awarded the title of Professor of Music and lived there 4 years, teaching and concertizing. In 1937 he came to the United States and in 1938 became the director of music at K.A.M. Temple in Chicago. For more than 30 years, K.AM. Temple has been the standard by which other congregations have measured their musical achievements. Many congregations who were eager to improve their music curriculum came to Professor Janowski for advice. CANTOR MAURICE LEVY, son of a Rabbi, began his formal education in Hebrew liturgy by singing in choirs of such world famous Cantors as Zavel Kvartin, Pierre Pinchik, David Roitman. He later continued his educa- tion at the Hebrew Theological College in Chicago and the Torah V'daath Seminary in New York. Cantor Levy is gifted with a fine lyric tenor voice and has made numerous appearances on the concert stage, radio and television in programs of Jewish music. Cantor Levy is considered by his colleagues as one of the outstanding young cantors of his generation. BEATRICE HORWITZ, daughter of the noted Cantor -An.shel Freedman, spent her formative years in Israel during which time she made her first stage appearances as accompanist to her father. Since her return to the United States, she has been one of the leading soloists with several large Chicago synagogues and now occupies that position with the K.A.M. Temple Choir. She is fre- quently heard on radio, television and the concert stage and is a solo on the album "Art Enchanting Evening with the Cantors" and the recording "Sbma Koleynu." Having been raised in the song-filled household of a Cantor, Beatrice Freedman Horwitz continues the family tradition with her glowing contralto voice and sensitive interpretations of Jewish, Liturgical and Israeli music.
