The town agreed as long
as Simons could produce
$20,000 for the project.
After three years of corre-
spondence and solicitations,
Simons raised the money
and went back to France

joined him for the dedica-

Editor, The Jewish News:
Zero Population Growth
has apparently caused the
Jewish segment of the
American people to lag be-
hind percentagewise, having
been 3.7 percent in 1963 and
2.8 percent 10 years later, as
you point out, though it is
possible that our numbers
have increased over the 6
million, presumably our
size.
Perhaps one of the rea-
sons for the upward general
increases compared with
the Jewish is that many of
the religiously-minded per-
sons among the non-Jews
Nam e d to Position
Shirley Monson of Farm-
ington Hills recently was re-
elected Michigan state coor-
dinator for the National
Organization for Women.
Engineers Honor Sol King
Former Detroiter Sol
King of Palm Beach, Fla.,
was recently awarded the
Distinguished Member
Award by the Engineering
Society of Detroit "in recog-
nition of the prominent role
Mr. King has played in pro-
fessional, educational and
public affairs over the years
at the national, state and lo-
cal levels."
King is the only architect
ever elected president of the
Engineering Society of De-
troit. He and his family
have been members of Cong.
Shaarey Zedek for many
years and he is a past mem-
ber of the synagogue's board
of trustees.
Activities
in Society
Mr. and Mrs. Max
(Irma) Samrick of Belmont
attended the dedication of
the Siegfried and Irma Ull-
mann Building for Cancer
and Allied Disease Research
in Israel at the Hadassah
Hospital Medical Center on
Mt. Scopus. Mrs. Samrick is
Michigan regional president
of Hadassah.
Regional Planning
Regional planning in Is-
rael is based on the concept
of groups of four to six vil-
lages with a total of 200-400
families, serviced by a rural
center consisting of a
school, a clinic, a tractor
and machine repair shop, a
dairy, storehouses, a central
grocery and cultural institu-
tions. The cost of services is
thus smaller than if each
village had to provide them
individually.

DEAR CUSTOMER:
VACATION WAS GREAT
OPEN FOR BUSINESS
;s
Let a man hire himself
out as an unskilled hand
rather than be dependent on
other. (Baba Bathra 110.)
are adherents of the teach-
ings of their respective
faiths in this regard.
This may point to a re-
medy which may well be
employed by us: secure com-
parable adherence to our
imperishable heritage.
Curtis Arnson, whose
treatise you discussed,
rightly refers to the pas-
sage in the Torah in Gene-
sis 9:7 containing the
mitzva of fruitfulness and
Rashi's pearl commenting
on this and on the compar-
able passage of Genesis
9:1, that to violate this
mitzva by refraining from
procreation is an offense
no less serious than shed-
ding human blood. What
would Rashi have said
about the voiding of a po-
tential human being im-
plicit in abortion?
Incidentally the first com-
mandment to be fruitful
and multiply is Genesis
1:28, not 9:7.

2 Local Agencies Older
Than Fresh Air Society
Apropos the contention
by the Fresh Air Society,
in its announcement of
the celebration of its 75th
anniversary on Nov. 6,
that it is the oldest
Jewish communal agency
in Detroit, Irving Katz
stated this week that
there are two agencies
older than the Fresh Air
Society.
Katz, acknowledged
Detroit Jewish historian,
called the attention of
The Jewish News to the
Hebrew Free Loan As-
sociation which, in 1895,
was organized as the
Gemiluth Chassodim Soc-
iety.
He also called attention to
the House of Shelter which
was organized in 1897 as the
Assembly of.David and
House of Shelter.
