Yean ago there used to be a
popular song entitled “Saturday
Night la The Loneaomest Night
In The Week,” but this old idea
has been radically changed, for
come Saturday night, December
80, 1901, and it ia going to be
“the happiest night in the week”
to some 90 members of the Senior
Friendship Chib, as they gather
in the Jewish Community Center
to say farewell to old 1901 and
"hd*dy pal” to little 1082, as he
makes his way through one of
the five doors of the building.
Morris Brown and Jennie Tinkle
have organized this New Year’s
Eve Get-to-Gether and Bessie
BroWh, Chairman of the Refresh
ment Committee is going to play
"little Mamma” and prepare a
special repast. This was a last
minute idea, or several hundred
members would have been in at
tendance, however a great bulk
of the membership of SFC will
be off to special New Year’s par
ties, but a great many of them
will be dropping into the Jewish
Community Center to wish their
fellow members “A Healthy,
Happy and Prosperous 1982.”
Special entertainment has been
prepared to be headed by Ethel
Green and Albert Zatlen.
Benjamin Green will enter the
hospital on Dec. 28, to undergo
surgery on the arm he injured
this past summer, when he was
vacationing in the north. Ben’s
surgeon feels that an operation
on the nerve system of the arm
will relieve him of the intense
pains that he gets through his
arm running down into the tips
of his fingers. Well, Ben, you
have the best wishes of all of
your fellow-members in SFC and
their combined prayers is for a
successful operation and a rapid
recovery. We’ll be seeing you in
the meantime.
An important artery of the En
tertainment Committee of SFC—
Ada Marx—is motoring down to
St. Petersburg and in a letter re
ceived from Ada she breathes
such great delight in actually
being on the road. She is anxious
to get back into harness and has
prepared much special material
for entertainment that will cov
er “Jewish Holidays” and special
weekly events. Last year Ada
Marx wrote a special production
for Purim when she rewrote

Youth Exchange
Mutual Aid Efforts
SOUTH OZONE, N.J., (JTA)—
A dozen Puerto Rican and Negro
teenage youth from East Harlem
this week repaid a group of
members of the Suburban YM-
YWHA of South Orange in an
exchange of unpaid assistance.
Last April, the Y members
went to East Harlem to scrub
walls of the James Weldon John
son Community Center and re
arrange the arts and crafts rooms
at the center.
The helping hand was return
ed by the East Harlem youths
who joined with a dozen Jewish
young people from South Orange
to put recreation equipment in
the Y rooms in first-class condi
tion. The rooms are located in
the basement of Congregation
Beth El. Driven to South Orange
by volunteers, the East Harlem
young people were greeted by
signs of “Buenos Dias” and
“Shalom.”
The inter-religious and inter
racial mutual aid program end
ed with a meal of kosher frank
furters, knishes and sweet noodle
pudding, all cooked in Jewish
style by young hostesses.
