It means two square meals a day — but it also means the warmth of human con- tact. Next Thursday, Meals on Wheels, a cooperative ven- ture of the National Council of Jewish W o .m e n Detroit Section and of the Jewish Family and Children's Serv- ice, will observe its f i r s t birthday. It's been a big year. The program began with 21 cli- ents, receiving one hot and one cold kosher meal a day, five days a week. Today, 150 volunteers are servicing 51 clients on six routes in De- troit, Southfield, Oak Park and Royal Oak. Because the elderly fre- quently neglect proper nutri- tion—due either to lack of concern or inability to get out and shop—the prepared meals are meant to improve their mental and physical health. A typical hot meal, pre- pared by Federation Apart- ment cook Eva Bartos, in- cludes cabbage soup, oven- fried chicken, rice, cooked beats and canned pears. The cold meal, delivered at the same time, may consist of pineapple juice, tuna salad, raw vegetables and a fresh fruit, bread and milk. Special provisions are made for diabetics. Social workers from JFCS, under the direction of Hilary Gitstein, interview and refer all clients. The latter pay what they can for the meals. An important corollary is the social contacts between clients and volunteers. And it is the latter who make the program work, according to NCJW co-chairmen Sonia Macey and Dorothy Kauf- man. They listed such volunteers as day chairmen Margery Sonny Purther, Barbara Cull- man, Shirley Ravet, Magery Kurzmann, Florine Gaynes and Barbara Kaufman. Rita Bedrick is route chair- man, Suzanne Hopp and Rose Gould, supplies; Claire Kretchmer, recruitment of volunteers; Sus an Miller, chairman of packers; and Esther Rosenblum, treasurer. Other volunteers work as packers, drivers and person- nel workers to do routing, recruiting and ordering of supplies . Each day, a team arrives at Federation Apartments at 9:30 a.m. to begin packaging meals, first in individual con- tainers, then in large thermal cases. The day's drivers, sometimes including men, ar- rive at 10:45 to find the cases ready for delivery. iflarriages LUBIN-JOSEPH: Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Joseph of Buf- falo annonuce the marriage of their daughter Arlene Ruth to Robert Ira Lubin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lubin of Brooks Lane, Southfield. The ceremony was performed re- cently in Buffalo by Dr. Mar- tin Goldberg of Temple Beth Zion and Cantor Elliot Part- ner of Park Synagogue, Clev- eland. Mrs. Richard Mellin of Pittsburgh was matron of honor, and bridesmaids were Mrs. Jay Levin of Detroit, sister of the bridegroom, and Margery Meyers of Pitts- burgh. Barbara Meyers was junior bridesmaid. Donald Lubin, brother of the bride- groom, was best man, and ushers were Stuart Zwick and Mark Heller, both of De- troit. Following a trip to the Catskills, the couple will live in Cleveland. a giving one — both ways. One elderly woman knits tams and scarves for her young friends. Volunteers on one route took their client to the hospital to visit his ailing wife — then drove him to the bank and the market. It is not a jab taken lightly. Mrs. Macey and Mrs. Kauf- man pointed out that the vol- unteers know well how their clients rely on them. One driver, for example, discovered that her partner would not be able to accom- pany her on the rounds that morning. But her husband had a day off, and the chil- dren were out of school—the answer to her predicament. The kids helped load food cases, while the husband- wife team checked out their route. It turned out to be a special visit to one client, who emerged from weeks of depression at the sight of her unexpected young guests. Another volunteer, whose car broke down en r oute, learned that it would be hours before the car could be re- paired and she could make her deliveries. She explained her plight to the sympathetic to his tow truck. Off the volunteers went, to deliver the Meals on (truck) Wheels.
