Family-Children's, Resettlement
Services Report on Refugees'
Welcome Here, Retardees' Aid

A dramatic play about marital
tensions and how casework can
help was presented at the com-
bined annual meeting of the Jew-
ish Family and Children's Service
and Resettlement Service, June 18
at the Jewish Center. The play
"Broken Circle", was produced
by the Center Theater staff, direct.
ed by Ethel Levine, who also
played the part of the caseworker.
Feature roles of the marital couple
were played by Jules Abrams and
Lorraine Ernst. The narration was
done by Samuel Lerner, director
of JFCS and RS.

Mrs. Morris J. Brandwine, vice
president of JFCS, presided at the
annual meeting. Board members
who were re-elected for three year
terms were: Mrs. Jack Baroff, Jo-
seph Garson, Mrs. Hugh W. Green-
berg, Mrs. Leo Orecklin, Mrs. Ber-
nard Pincus, Mrs. Norman Schklo-
ven, Mrs. Ben Schottenfels. New

Joseph Jackier, Ben Bossman and
Gilbert Silverman. Board members

At the meeting of JFCS, there
was approval of two by-law amend-

increased from 27 to 36 plus ex-
officio and life members of the
Board. The nominating committee
was reduced from nine to five.
Mrs. Samuel J. Caplan presided
at the annual meeting of Resettle-
ment Service. She reported on the
increased flow of
refugees to the
United States be-
cause of the rise
in anti-Semitism
and a n t i-Israel
feelings through-
out the commu-
nist countries in
Eastern Eurcrpe.
She noted an in-
crease in the num-
Mrs. Caplan ber of refu gee
units settled in Detroit in the •12
month period ending May, 1970.
During that time Resettlement
Service served a total of 141 indi-
viduals in 52 family units, some
of whom had arrived in previous
years.
During that period 25 refugee
families, consisting of 53 individ-
uals, arrived in Detroit.
In May six new families arrived,
and on June 18 and 19 three new
families came to Detroit.
Walter Herz presented the re-
commendations of the nominating
committee. Officers elected were:
Mrs. Samuel J. Caplan, president;
Mrs. Sol C. Grossman, vice presi-
dent; Mrs. Lewis H. Manning, sec-
retary, and David I. Rosin, treas-
urer. Re-elected for three year
terms to the board were: Walter
Herz. Norman D. Katz, Mrs. Ju-
lian H. Krolik, Nathan L. Milstein,
David I. Rosin, Harley Selling,
Jack Stattmann, Mrs. Irving Stein-
man. Gerald H. Manko was newly
elected for a two-year term.
Samuel Lerner, noted in his re-
port that the agency has made tre-
mendous strides in recent years.
He noted that both of these pro-
grams were reported on by Miss
Rose Kaplan, director of profes-
sional services, at the recent Na-
tional Conference of Jewish Com-
munal Services and received en-
thusiastic response from other
agencies seeking new ways of
helping the aged.
Lerner emphasized the increas-
ing responsibilty that the agency
has accepted with relation to the
Orchards, the residential treat-
ment group home for emotionally
disturbed boys that is sponsored
by the National Council of Jewish
Women. The agency is involved in
making intake decisions on admis-
sion of children, treating parents
while children are in placement,
and planning for after-care of chil-
dren discharged from placement.
He further noted that the agency
had experimented this year with
the use of Bargman-Sheruth House

as a small family-type foster home
for boys and girls of various ages
who need temporary placement
away from home, and this facility
has been functioning successfully.
The Center Theatre's production
of "Broken Circle" was well acted
and dramatically effective in por-
traying the impact of a marriage
problem on a family. It was a
story of a husband and wife driven
by their own earlier life experience
into an ever widening circle of
criticism, distrust, and quarreling
which ultimately jeopardized the
normal development of their chil-
dren. It emphasized how a family
casewoker helped this couple in
the end to "break" the vicious
circle.
The play, "Broken Circle" was
written by Nora Stirling for the
Family Service Association of
America as ?art of their Plays for
Living series, intended for public
interpretation of typical social and
family problems and how profes-
sional counseling can be of help
to individuals and families.
The Nominating Committee for
Jewish Family and Children's
Service are: Mr. William Weis-
man, Chairman, Mrs. Norman
Wachter, Mr. Bruce Thal, Mrs.
Norman Katz, Mrs. Jack Baroff,
Mrs. Leo Orecklin, Mrs. Benjamin
Schottenfels, Mrs. Charles Lakoff,
Mr. Merle Harris.
The Ncrninating Committee for
Resettlement Service consists of
Mrs. Irving Steinman, Chairman,
Mr. Walter Herz, Mr. Nathan Mil-
stein, Mr. David I. Rosin.
Arnold Faudman announced that
at the July meeting of JFCS there
will be election of officers and ex-
ecutive committee for the coming
year.
