The Universal Declaration
of Human Rights was adopt-
ed in 1948 by the United Na-
tions, but many countries
have failed to adopt it, in-
cluding the United States.
Simms described the docu-
ment as unique because it
"declares that human beings
have universal rights as in-
dividuals, not as groups, peo-
ples, or nations.'
Beatrice Rowe, of the Na-
tional Council of Jewish
Women, is co-ordinator of a
December dinner at Wayne
State University which will
commemorate the anniver-
sary of the signing of the de-
claration.
She said, "It is nice to talk
in general terms, but we

Wisdom
The Ropshitzer wished to
test whether a certain man,
reputed to fast from Sabbath
to. Sabbath, and to spend all
day in the synagogue, was
truly pious or just merely a
hypocrite. He ordered some
boys to annoy him, and then
went to the synagogue and
called out to them: "Why do
you harass a man who fasts
on Mondays and Thursdays?"
The man turned to him and
said: "Have you not heard
that I fast from Sabbath to
Sabbath?'
The Ropshitzer then knew
the man was indeed a hypo-
crite.

She added that the Decem-

contributed to the betterment
of human rights, but she also
hoped that it would establish
one or two realistic, one-year
objectives in housing, trans-
portation or other areas.
After short talks by sev-
eral speakers, the meeting
dissolved into small seminars
to plan ways of disseminat-
ing information on the Uni-
versal Declaration of Human
Rights to the Detroit commu-
nity.
Other representatives at
the meeting included Sam
