To Our Readers

If today's Jewish News seems easier to handle, with
crisper reproduction, less ink ruboff and more color,
then you've noticed the latest example of our commit-
ment to publish a newspaper of high quality for you.
You deserve it — for we are seeking to reflect a vibrant,
impressive community.
We have moved to a new printer, TAS Graphic
Communications, Inc., and will be utilizing its high-
quality presses and binding capabilities.
But our improvements go beyond skin deep. To-
day's Close-Up by Staff Writer David Holzel provides an
informative, thorough look at Detroit's Israeli commu-
nity and is an example of the quality local reporting to
which we are dedicated. And our highly successful
Single Life section, coordinated by Local News Editor
Heidi Press, continues to tackle issues of concern to
Jewish singles and of interest to our entire community.
Additionally, we are again expanding our local news-
gathering capabilities.
Next week, we will initiate Up Front, a full page of
major news stories, including a local, national and in-
ternational roundup. And to keep you informed, you
will receive our enjoyable, colorful in-paper Bridal sup-
plement.
We are confident you will find the improved Jewish
News more interesting, informative and attractive than
ever. We value your readership — and your comments
— and look forward to continuing to serve you.

Visit To Poland
Was Worthwhile

FOR NON DELINQUENT 1 4 YEAR
OLD BOY WHO IS IN NEED
OF A SECURE AND STABLE
HOME ENVIRONMENT.

.

I, too, was a recent visitor to
Poland on a mission to docu-
ment the Jewish people post-
Hitler, why they remained and
the quality'of their lives today.
It was the most devastating
experience of my life, but to say
"don't visit Poland" (Op-Ed,
Jan. 23) is a feeling I cannot
disagree with more.
The people that shared this
experience with me both young
and old were thrilled to visit
with someone Jewish from the
free world. They clung to the
postcards from Israel, the new
kippah that was the gentle-
men's first in 40 years, the
Hadassah magazines and the
mezzuzahs I brought along.
They hung on every word of in-
formation concerning life in
America and Israel and I as-
sured them when I left that I
would contact all of their rela-
tives.
It is imperative that our
children and our grand-
children never forget what oc-
curred in Poland. They must
return to the roots of our people
to pay their respects to those
who were less fortunate . .

Chaim Grade
Review Welcomed

I wish to take the opportu-
nity to express my very special
gratitude to Mr. Philip
Slomovitz, editor emeritus, for
his unique review of the newly
translated classic of Chaim
Grade, My Mother's Sabbath
Days, and of my humble con-

tribution towards its appear-
ance in English (Purely Com-
mentary, Dec. 19, 1986).
I consider it a sacred duty to
make sure that the treasures of
Chaim Grade's literary legacy,
which he left exclusively to my
care, reach the good Anglo-
American readers who may not
know Yiddish. My work is a
duty also towards the Yiddish
literature, which can proudly
claim one of the greatest mas-
ters of world literature, and of
course towards Chaim Grade
himself .. .
I know that Mr. Slomovitz,
who write about us with so
much understanding, is aware
of Chaim Grade's merits as a
human being, as an artist and
a scholar, and I am so very
grateful to him for having
shared this knowledge with
the readers of The Jewish
News. Chaim Grade is not here
any more, for which reason I
shall thank Mr. Slomovitz with
the great words of the bible:
"Blessed be he of the Lord, who
hath not left off his kindness to
the living and to the dead. . . "

FINALLY. A FAST, -
SAFE AND EFFECTIVE
WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT
AND KEEP IT
OFF, FOREVER!

It was around this time two
