A cause that comforts the aged, educates young people, rescues families from danger and resettles them in freedom? In short, how about creating an endowment fund that will benefit your commu- nity through the Jewish Federation of Metropoli- tan Detroit? This holiday season, choose the perfect Seiko watch for someone on your list. Lyle promise, they'll never forget it.
