GOLDA G. KROLIK
other membefs of the
Cheerful Volunteers
(Fresers), all age 10, were
permitted to play with (not
feed or lift) the children in
the free nursery which her
father had established in
the Hannah Schloss Building.
But there were always two
chairs standing in the front
hall of her home on Ade-
laide which were for "Fa-
ther's Men."
Three times she entered
and dropped out of the Uni-
versity of Michigan due to
illness in her home. During
one of these stays she be-
came the first woman re-
porter for the Michigan
Daily.
During the World War I
she worked for the Family
Service Division of the
American Red Cross as
well as earning money to
purchase a war bond by
being the society editor of
the Detroit Jewish Chron-
icle.
Following the war, the
United Jewish Charities es-
tablished a free clinic in
the Hannah Schloss Build-
ing. She worked for it and
followed it to the Wineman-
donated building at Oakland
and Holbrook. known as the
North_ End Clinic.
During the same period
she was a Sunday school
teacher at Temple Beth El
where she met and in 1923
married Leopold Mayer.
During that marriage she
had three children—David.
John and Judith.
In the 1920's she was vice
president of the Jewish
Women's Clubs (now Na-
tional Council of Jewish
Women). Then as now the
Council taught English to
new immigrants and Golda
was one of the teachers.
Commencing in 1931, fol-
lowing the death of her hus-
band. she became publicity
director of the Detroit Com-
munity Fund during its fall
campaign and occupied a
similar position for the
spring campaign of the
United Jewish Charities.
In 1936 she married Jul-
ian H. Krolik, father of
Henry Krolik.: Throughout
those years of the latter
30's she joined the rest of
the community in the at-
tempt to rescue European
Jewry. She and her hus-
band managed through
lengthy struggles with the
State Department to bring
to Detrtoit 21 of their Eu-
ropean relatives. She fol-
lowed Fred M. Butzel as
president of the Resettle-
ment Service.
During World War II she
headed the Jewish Welfare
Board's hostess unit at the
USO. They initiated the pol-
icy of completely staffing
the USO • with Jewish
women on the major Chris-
tian holidays to let the
others enjoy the day in
their homes.
In 1943, following the
major race riot of that
year, Mayor Edward J. Jef-
fries, deciding that there
should be a Jew and a
woman on his newly-ap-
pointed Inter-Racial Com-
mittee. appointed Mrs. Kro-
lik. She served continuously
under five mayors until re-
tiring in 1968. The commis-
sion struggled to open em-
ployment, education and
housing opportunities for
Detroit's black minority.
A group of black min-
isters protested to the com-
mission that out of 3,000
graduated registered nurses
in the Detroit Metropolitan
Area only six were black.
In association with WSU
nursing school Dean Eme-
ritus Katherine Faville and
Mrs. Carl Grawn, Mrs. Kro-
lik raised funds to enable
the Detroit Board of Educa-
tion to hire a counselor to
find and encourage black
girls to enter two-year hos-
pital schools for registered
nurses.
The committee raised
funds for scholarships. full
or part-tuition, and tutoring
services. To date 1,400 stu-
dents have been counselled
and many of this group re-
ceived tutorial and finan-
cial aid.
When the Shapero School
of Practical Nursing at
Sinai Hospital opened,
Golda' did initial inter-
viewing of candidates for
training. She became the
second president of the
school.
She was among the origi-
nal group organizing theDet-
roit Jewish Welfare Feder-
ation's Women's Division
and is still a member of its
board. She has been a work-
er and contributor in the
campaigns of - liberal Demo-
cratic candidates.
Over the years, Golda re
ceived a number of honors.
For 10 years she was a
member of the local
NAACP board, later becom-
ing an honorary director.
She also received the Amity
Award from the ' Women's
Division of American Jew-
ish Congress and the Pio-
neer Award of the Women's
Division of the Bnai Brith.
Both the Workmen's
Circle and the American
Jewish Committee gave her
their annual awards for pub-
lic service. St. Cyprian's
Episcopal Church honored
her for her work with volun-
teers of all races and
colors.
At this time she is work-
ing once again for the Red
Cross, in its Blood Bank.
Her family maintains that
her uniform should show
the "hash marks" she has
earned in public service
through two World - Wars
and all the intervening
years.

Referring to the policy an-

why the government de-
cided to begin with "equal-
ization of services" in the
administered territories be-,
fore it did so in Israel it-
self.
Yoram_ Alster, of the
DMC, said Premier Men-
ahem Begin did not receive
a, mandate from the elec-
torate to implement his
hawkish views. but came to
power merely as a result of
internal disunity within the
dovish camp.

Likud government repre-
sented a threat to Israel

fought -with all possible
