$1,000 Prize Offered for Children's Play on Jewish Theater
Theme
for Children;
NEW YORK—The Jewish Thea-
ter for Children is offering a prize
of $1,000 for the best full-length
play for children in English on a
Jewish theme, according to an an-
nouncement made by Philip Kasa-
kove, president of the theater.
This is the 14th annual Golden
Pen Playwriting Contest, prize
By Guest Columnist
Bruce L. Danto, M.D., Director
Suicide Prevention Center
Jewish audiences, particularly
over the past number of years,
have loved to hear Sam Levenson's
warm description of the humor-
filled years of being a child in the
Jewish family. Were he to be a
child again and have to report the
current happenings, he would find
very little that was humorous and
in many cases very little that was
warm.
Along with non-Jewish callers,
Jewish teen-agers who call the
Suicide Prevention Center bring
their cries for help concerning
problems of their over-indulgent
parents with whom they can't com-
municate, the drug scene, homo-
sexual experiences and suicide.
Through such a grapevine we've
learned of several teen-age sui-
cides in Southfield and a number
of school dropouts, and Jewish de-
linquents who would force the an-
cient Hillel to turn over in his
grave.
The Suicide Prevention Center is
concerned about the calls it has
received from teens like the 10-
year-old Oak Park boy who had
copied down the phone number
while watching a television broad-
cast a year ago. When he called,
he readily responded, and the tears
subsided after talking with a
friendly and maternal volunteer
who offered to be available to him
any time. Efforts to contact the
boy's mother by telephone were
met with absolute disappointment,
as she was never available, and
one can see why the boy was de-
pressed.
The 19-year-old who kept click-
ing the hammer of his revolver
over the telephone, attempting to
funds for which are made avail- no later than April 15, 1971. Rules

!-Liund so brave, but revealing his
basic feelings of terror about -
ing, left a memorable impression
on the volunteer who gently assur-
ed the boy she was not going to
test his courage by daring him or
humiliating him. She listened pa-
tiently and encouraged him to put
the gun down and to contact his
local medical society for referral
to a private psychiatrist.
The 17-year-old high school
girl who had become pregnant
and who had reached for the
bottle of pills to hide her em-
barrassment from her family,
found that any problem can be
faced when others are available
to offer their strength, patience
and wisdom.
Having diabetes for a 16-year-old
is a personal burden with which to
live. One such teen called to let us
know how she had planned to give
herself an overdose of insulin, "to
end it all." She could not tolerate
the realization of her fears that
her diabetes would keep her fry"
popularity in dating and th.. ,u-
spects of marriage. She felt like a
heroin addict and a social outcast
at school. From understanding lis-
tening and reasonable discussion of
her feelings, she accepted referral
back to her family doctor with the
assurance that he also would be
interested in helping her work out
her feelings about having this per-
sonal and understandably serious
problem.
Our Jewish community like any
other community must declare its
support and interest in saving the
lives of these talented, basically
good, but terribly frightened kids.
