Simon Family Memorial Fund
A $250,000 philanthropic
trust fund in the name of the
late Calvin and Ruth Simon
has been established within
the United Jewish
Charities of the Jewish Wel-
fare Federation.
The assets in the Calvin
and Ruth Simon Memorial
Trust were turned over to
UJC in a presentation
attended by trustees Ruben
and Jack Simon, brother
and nephew, respectively, of
the late Calvin Simon; by
Judge Charles Rubiner, at-
torney for the estate; and by
Joseph H. Jackier,
president of United Jewish
Charities, Federation's
senior agency that manages
endowment funds for the
benefit of the community. •
Jackier praised the trus-
tees for choosing the UJC to
carry out Mr. Simon's phil-
anthropic intentions as
expressed in his will. The
UJC president noted that
the establishment of this
fund provides vital impetus
to the UJC effort to increase
its endowment fund to $100
million.

UJC Gives Project Grants
in Areas of Jewish Living
Three demonstration
projects relevant to the
Jewish community are
among several grants ap-
proved by United Jewish
Charities.
A total of $101,510 was
approved on the recom-
mendation of UJC's Jewish
Community Foundation.
Under the chairmanship of
Stanley J. Winkelman, the
foundation reviews applica-
tions for gr-ants to research
and experimental projects
related to Jewish communal
services.
UJC President Joseph H.
Jackier presided at the
meeting at which approval
was given for a communal
special education Judaica
program for handicapped
children under United He-
brew Schools sponsorship,
and in cooperation with the
religious school of Temple
Beth El. The grant, which
may extend over a three-
year- period, would provide
special classroom Jewish
education, teacher training
and materials.
A second grant went to
the Jewish Community
Council to share in fund-
ing a project at Mercy
College which would de-
velop models for teach-
ing courses on the
Holocaust both to uni-
versity students and to
public and private school
teachers. This pioneering
effort has gained na-
tional interest.
The UJC also approved a
grant to the National Foun-
dation for Jewish Culture, a
New York-based benefici-
ary of Federation, for de-
velopment of a program of
workshops, festivals and
presentations through the
Jewish Theater Associa-
tion. This organization was
founded last year in re-
sponse to the contemporary
renaissance in theater re-
lating to the Jewish experi-
ence.
A series of off-season
camping weekends for emo-
tionally impaired children
who attend Camp
Tamarack's Silverman Vil-
lage in the summer was ap-
proved for Fresh Air
Society.
The continuation of
two different projects for
elderly and mentally re-;
tarded persons was as-
sured with the renewal of
grants to the Jewish
Family Service and the
Jewish Association for
Retarded Citizens.
The projects provide spe-
cial approaches to semi-
independent but supervised
residential living, in pri-
vate apartments.
