JNF Scores When Girls Go' o Bai Detroit Tigers they're not. But when the members of Ann Arbor's new women's - softball team go to bat, the Jewish National Fund wins —no matter what the out- come of the game. The JNF has undertaken sponsorship of one of the member teams of the Ann Arbor W o men's Softball League conducted by the lo- cal parks and recreation de- partment. Eighteen players—only half of them Jews—comprise the team whose easily identifi- able shirts proclaim the prod- uct of their sponsor, the Jew ish National Fund, Israel's tree-planting and land recla- mation agency. The young women, some of them students and staff members at the University of Michigan, are a walking commercial for the JNF. And not only because of their shirts, which they themselves designed. They have learned well what the JNF represents and the work it does for Israel. During their twice-weekly practice, and Thursday after- noon games, they have op- portunity to orient others. JNF team members — or the "JeNauFurs" as they sometimes call themselves —report that members of op- posing' teams, friends and even strangers are learning all about the JNF.

Mrs. Green has a lot of friends out there—and some of them don't even know her name. The above "advertisement" was placed by a close friend, Julia Weiss, who said that Mrs. Green is being tendered a dinner by well-wishers in recognition of her selfless deeds for others. Her four children have been invited. Mrs. Weiss explained the reason for the award to Mrs. Green: "She'll walk down the .street and see someone carrying bundles. She doesn't ask anybody their name, but she'll help them carry or give them a ride. She's that kind of a person. If you're sick, she'll have someone pick up your groceries. And she'll cook your meals for you, too. "If the butcher tells her he's got a sore throat and .. ..... he wishes he had some tea, she'll run home and bring back two tea bags. She baby- sits, and if someone has to go to the hospital, she'll sit with them in the ambulance." Mrs. Weiss said that her friend, who is on disability and Social Security, has not been well. She suffers from arthritis and other ailments that have made it difficult For her to work. A former nurse, , Mrs. Green, 66, lives in a small house that her children ac- quired for her. She attends Sabbath services regularly at Cong. Bnai Moshe and Shaarey Shomayim, "except on the days when her arth- ritis hurts too bad." The testimonial dinner planned in Mrs. Green's honor won't be big—maybe 15 people, Mrs. Weiss said. "We'll all get together and cook. Maybe her kids and some of the people she's helped will come." She also has eight grandchildren. If you know Mrs. Green, don't tell her you saw this article. "She's very proud and bashful," Mrs. _Weiss said. "What would really make her happy is to see her children's names in the paper. Maybe you'll just run a little ad and let everybody know?" 6 41 the uctill (1.6,4,1004 ai ate 4s9.1ti piece 4ce ,L,1 Put your •• w in America o Norman Allan Allan& T. 17540 WYOMING • TEL. 341-1330 • money where your heart is & Thurs. 9:30-7:00 Tues., We d. & Fri. 9:36:6:01 S Sat. 1 0: 30 - Sign up for IL S. SAVINGS BONDS, FREEDOM SHARES Avern Cohn, at 50, Gains Community Recognition for Manifold Activities Avern Cohn ennobles a revered family tradition. Like his father, Irwin I. Cohn, he is a leader in Detroit's phil- anthropic ranks. Following in the tradition of like-father- like son, he responds to calls to action in defense of Jewish rights, in behalf of Israel, in support of all traditional Jew- ish needs — and in being closely linked with the social and political needs of the city of his birth. On his 50th birthday, next Tuesday, Avern Cohn will be saluted by so many with whom he is closely associat- ed that the greetings will en- compass Greater Detroit, with echoes on a national basis. Born in Detroit, July 23, 1924, Avern Cohn studied in Detroit public schools and earned his LLB f r o m the University of Michigan in 1949. He is associated with the law firm of Honigman, Mil- ler, Schwartz - and Cohn, which also still is served by his father in an advisory capacity.
