I AROUND TOWN \ C Ruth Marcus of Hebrew Free Loan interviews a loan applicant. Hebrew Rae Loan Aids Those In Need Editor's note: Sometimes families and individuals find themselves short of funds for school, to pay bills, to buy a car or meet an emergency. With contributions from the Allied Jewish Campaign, the Hebrew Free Loan Associa- tion is able to offer no-interest loans to working persons in tight financial circumstances. Gloria F. lost everything when a fire destroyed her apartment. Until the in- surance settlement arrives, she will need kitchen items and clothing for herself and her 11-year-old-daughter. To help see her through, Gloria applied for a general purpose loan from HFLA. Her brother and a friend co-signed the loan, and she will be able to repay it from her regular monthly income. Vladimir H., a new American from Leningrad, resettled in Detroit. His sister and brother-in-law are the an- chors for the family. 'Vladimir found a job, but has no way to get there. He has learned to drive and has a Michigan driver's license. His sister, who has worked for 10 years here, will help him buy a car by co-signing and finding a second co-signer for his loan from the Hebrew Free Loan Association. With his new job, he will be able to handle the monthly payment schedule to repay his loan. Robert M.'s bar mitzvah was approaching but his family was unable to buy him a suit or afford a small celebration. His parents applied for a $1,000 loan from the HFLA so that Robert could have new clothes and a small family luncheon in honor of his special day. With the help of the HFLA, Robert will have a pleasant memory. Celebrating its 95th year, HFLA offers no-interest loans to Detroit area Jews for cars, homes, education, small business needs, medical or dental bills, or a modest bar mitzvah or wedding celebra- tion. This Jewish Welfare Federation-subsidized agency receives monies from be- quests, family funds and donations. HFLA works in partnership with the Neighborhood Pro- ject, Jewish Educational Loan Service, other Jewish agen- cies and religious schools. The agency also expanded its pro- gram to provide assistance to Jewish Community Center campers. In 1989-1990, HFLA made nearly 450 loans valued at about $735,000. An addi- tional 76 mortgage loans were made to families and in- dividuals purchasing homes through the Neighborhood Project. Since its founding, HFLA has helped Jewish refugees from Eastern Europe and elsewhere resettle in freedom in the Detroit area. Last year, new Americans received $483,000 in loans. Employed individuals may apply for a loan, which must be paid back in one year. No collateral is required; two co- signers are needed. Funds are given to the borrower within 10 days. In these difficult times, the HFLA is working together with other Federa- tion agencies to creatively find solutions in cases which do not meet the stated guidelines. In its 95 years, more than $7 million in loans have been granted by HFLA to more than 250,000 borrowers. 0\5t Bsserc\bi Ile bedrocv c:V1043\eVIcc\ v0°\-\ mrci ■ qua\m " a\a e cocciOmatAm g\\de (wogs , • *5\etg c\\miod coxicocON- \-ke sets in 43 stander6teck d avamb\e • ■ aNii;%‘0% ass evoe easy Oanrittd. •fay sojeci \lam% cows mate cows • Mel room in your room &onions tor s o leci ■ Item I 7530 Trundle $288.00 7518-46 Hutch 88.00 Desk 7514-3 188.00 Vanity 188.00 7507 7500 3-Drawer Dresser 148.00 3-Draw 24" Night Stand 138.00 7513 7516 2-Draw Night Stand 118.00 7502-2 2 Door 24" Unit 118.00 2 Door 30" Unit 7501 138.00 7521 60" Dresser 280.00 7522 46" Dresser 268.00 7525 Armoire 288.00 7505-39 Storage Headboard 128.00 7520 Triple Dresser 298.00 7503 Corner Hamper 88.00 7504 24" Mirror 78.00 • Viol CASUAL I OUTDOOR FURWTURS RUSTICS .

STANLEY LEVINE, D.C. YOUR SPINE AND SHOULDER ARM PAIN! Shoulder and arm pain with varying degrees of immobility .. . constitute the most frequently recognized symptoms of structural defects in the lower neck and upper spine. Should a spinal segment in the lower neck be forced from its normal alignment or beyond its normal range of movement by a fall, accident or by postural stress, the segment may partially close the tiny nerve openings between adjacent segments. The nerves that pass through these tiny openings supply the shoulder, neck, arm, upper DR. LEVINE back and chest muscles. Frequently the condition begins as stiff and tender muscles across the top of the shoulders. Over a period of weeks, the condition progresses to a burning ache and may extend into the neck and head. Neck and shoulder movement becomes increasingly pain- ful and difficult. Attempts to shave or comb your hair may cause sharp pain down the arm and tingling in the fingers. Weakness and fatigue tremor of the arm may accompany the pain. The muscles across the chest may become tender. The symptoms are made more severe by coughing or sneezing. Experience has shown that acute and chronic shoulder and arm pain syndromes res- pond extremely well to the specialized care offered by the chiropractic profession. Don't Live With Pain. We Can Help!
