(Just North of 8 Mile) Southfield 948.1060=' AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY' Mr. Traison told The Jewish News, "We're still $350,000 short, but now it is an amount that looks doable. It is the feeling of our mem- bers that we want to go on, and we're going to drag on an- other week or two to see what happens." Earlier, Mr. Traison said the congregation wanted to complete its pledge drive by Yom Kippur to have time to move forward with building plans or to merge with anoth- er congregation. B'nai David sold its South- field Road building to the city of Southfield and must move out of the synagogue next spring. ❑ Israeli War Hero Dies In Michigan ALAN HUSKY ASSOCIATE EDITOR C harles E. Crudington, a gentile hero of Israel's War for Independence and a father of Israel's air force, died Sept. 29 at his northern Michigan home. Mr. Crudington was a pilot during World War II for the British, Canadian and Amer- ican air forces. In 1948, sev- eral Detroiters asked him to ferry sometimes stolen mili- tary planes and supplies from the United States to the fledg- ling state of Israel. In a 1973 article in The Jewish News, Mr. Crudington described how he single-hand- edly flew a stolen B-17 bomber accross the Atlantic from South America by following a commercial passenger plane. After June 1948, Mr. Crud- ington became a combat pilot for Israel, flying everything from tiny Piper Cubs to con- verted transport planes. Of- ten, the pilots had to drop small bombs or grenades from open cockpit windows. In an incident immortalized in the movie Exodus, Mr. Crudington and his crew dropped empty bottles from their unarmed C-47 on an Arab town that had been fir- ing at Israeli planes. The bot- tles "whistled like bombs," he said, "and scared the day- lights out of the Arabs." Mr. Crudington said he put his life on the line for Israel "partly for adventure. But if it were only adventure, we would have joined the Arabs. They had better planes and could offer a lot more pay than the Israelis... "I guess I figured Israel was right. And the others did, too. The Arabs hated us for that — more than they hated the Jews. I remember a fellow named Finch, a Canadian boy who was shot down over Beer- sheva. They staked him, mu- tilated his body." Toward the end of the war, he was asked to establish a training school for Israeli pi- lots near Nahariya and was placed in command of the school. Mr. Crudington later re- turned to Detroit, married, raised a family and was a sales representative. In recent years, he and his family lived in Luzerne, Mich., east of Grayling. At his funeral last week, his family announced plans to plant trees in Israel in honor of his service during Israel's War for Indepen- dence. ❑ Stress Seminar Is Offered The Deaf, Hearing and Speech Center will offer a seminar on ""Stress" 1 p.m. Oct. 20 at the Maple-Drake Jewish Commu- nity Center.
