"These programs are pri-
warn, recreational," explains
Ada Feldman. who Vk - ks with
senior citizen groups at the
Center. "We have classes and
acti%ities of all kinds scheduled
for senior citizens, such as
painting and drawing, or knit-
ting. We have lecture and dis-
cussion groups on subjects of
special interest to them."
One of these is conducted on
Monday mornings by Dr. Samuel
Levin. former economics professor
of Wayne State University. His
topics are concerned with "Our
Changing World " On Friday. Dr.
Levin or another volunteer will

In this they are helped by the

Best know for residential serv-
ices to the aged is the Jewish
Home fdr Aged, now- operating
two facilities—Borman Hall and
Prentis Manor in Southfield. Both
are fully occupied with a total
capacity of 300. In response to
the pressing need for more beds
at Prentis Manor. plans for a
vastly enlarged facility are now
being designed. It is hoped that
ground-breaking will take place
in 1972. ;When completed, there
will be more than 110 additional
beds to serve the elderly.

- The Jewish citizens of metro-

politan Detroit have reason to be
proud of these agencies and serv-
ices which demonstate so clearly
concern for our people, Alan E
Schwartz, president of the Jew-
ash Welfare Federation. stated.
