We should salute Max Sheldon for his tenacity and determina- tion to present to this country the significance of "a sound mind in a healthy body" — enveloped in in- spiring ceremonies and well- organized games. To him it was paying his debt for "being alive." It was the games of 1938 that re- scued 5,000 children from Europe. The tremendous effort and work of the numerous leaders is overwhelming: Marty Oliff, Jay Robinson — the long list is incred- ible. This event was a happy, posit- ive demonstration. It is an answer to the pogroms, the Holocaust and anti-Semitism generally. Jewishness is a "many splen- dored" experience. Ann Barnett Bar-Ilan article On behalf of Bar-Ilan Univer- sity and its Detroit friends I want to sincerely thank you for the ex- cellent article that appeared in the Aug. 24 issue of The Jewish News.
