Role of Federation in Enrichment of Jewish Life Outlined in Annual Report; Safran Gets Butzel Award Presentation of the Butz el Award to Hyman Safran and a review of current activities and plans for the future featured the annual meeting of the Jewish Wel- fare Federation Thursday evening, at the Shaarey Zedek. Max M. Fisher made the pre- sentation of the Fred M. Butzel Award for Communal Leadership to Safran, the immediate past pres- ident of Federation. In his annual report as president of Federation, Alan E. Schwartz stated: "Beyond its concern with the survival needs of Jews in many parts of the world, the Jewish community of Detroit has given increasing attention to programs for the enrichment of Jewish life. Events overseas necessi- tated our making an emergency mid-year allocation to help the Resettlement Service absorb the largest influx of displaced per- sons and refugees that Detroit has seen in recent years. Never- theless, we have reached a point where enhancing the quality of Jewish life is a principal con- cern for Federation and its do- mestic agencies." Schwartz stated that the dra- matic development of the year was the superb teamwork that went into the formation and operation of the 1970 Allied Jewish Cam- paign-Israel Emergency F u n d. Worker and contributor alike were inspired and generous. They sur- prised even the most seasoned campaigners. By the time the cam- paign was over Detroit Jewry had raised over $11,600,000 of which almost eighth million was ear- marked for overseas and Israel. The many varied local activities of the Federation have been for the benefit of all age groups, from the dedication of the new United Hebrew Schools Campus to the ground-breaking for the Federa- tion Apartments for senior citizens.
