Offers of Help Pour Into Yonkers
Center After Fire Tragedy
NEW YORK (JTA)—Offers of
help from Jews and non-Jews
from all parts of the country are
pouring into the offices of the
Yonkers Jewish Community Cen
ter where a fire snuffed out the
lives of nine children and three
instructors recently, the National
Jewish Welfare Board reported.
Sanford Solender, executive
vice-president of the JWB said
that in Yonkers the Young Wom
en's Christian Association had
provided space to the Jewish Cen
ter for a temporary office and the
Young Men’s Christian Associa
tion had offered its facilities for
Jewish Center programming.
Synagogues, churches, women’s
organizations and fraternal orders
in Yonkers have offered help and
the local Junior Chamber of Com
merce announced it was eager to
counduct a community - wide
fund-raising drive to restore the
Jewish Center building, he said.
At the same time, the JWB dis
tributed to its 800 affiliated Cen
ters and YM-YWHA’s a special
list of safety guides as a step to
help avert similar tragedies. The
JWB memorandum said that “a
life-consuming fire has been vir
tually unknown in Jewish Com
munity Center history” and that
the safety guides list had been
prepared to assure that “never
again will such a tragedy oc
cur.”
He said JWB affiliated Cen
ters throughout the country had
offered to hold fund-raising
drives and to loan equipment and
supplies to the stricken Yonkers
Center.
As the probe into the cause of
the disaster continued, it was dis
closed that many thousands of
children attending center classes
and workshops in major cities in
New York state depend for their
lives in fire emergencies almost
entirely on the alertness and
calmness of their teachers. Alarm
systems are not required even in
public schools in New York state.
George H. Proper Jr., director of
the New York State Division of
Fire Safety, said it would be

“highly desirable” if community
centers had regular fire drills.
The flash fire trapped a class
of children taking music lessons
and three instructors in a room
on the fourth floor of the Cen
ter. Most of the 100 children in
the building were led to safety.
Many children made their way
along ledges four stories above
the ground until they reached
firemen’s ladders. The child vic-
Dear Editor,
Congratulations to Dr. Samuel
Silver (Silver Lining) on his
condemnation of Bellow’s “Her
zog” and similar pseudo-intellec
tual trash. Far from adding to
an understanding of the Jewish
Community, her real nature and
her real problems, these cheap
attempts to cash in on the in
creasing interest in Judaism as a
way of life present only grossly
distorted, confusing mirages.
Dr. Silver’s forthright column
was long overdue. I do hope it
will get wider publicity.

Dear Mr. Rosenberg,
I would like to take this op
portunity to wish you and the
people of Atlanta a very happy
and prosperous New Year.
My folks have told me of all
the things people have said about
me. I never wanted all that. All
I wished to do was help the
Jewish boys out here.
Once in a while, one would
have a problem and the CO would
ask me if I could help him out.
The Jewish Chaplain has been
making trips here. If you noticed
that article I sent you he is very
well known. I have tried to con
duct services when he is not
here. They call me the “Rabbi.”
I travel by any means avail
able. After reading about the rab
bis in the old days who would ride
on donkeys around the country
side, here it feels the same.
Many people have wanted to
send me something, but if they
would send contributions to the
tims included three sets of bro
thers and sisters, aged seven to
11.
Nine other persons were in
jured in the blaze and four were
hospitalized. The children had
been seated in a room on the
fourth floor waiting for after
school music lessons to start when
smoke began to filter into the
room. The victims all apparently
died from smoke poisoning.
many drives that are going on to
help the people here, it would be
the best and most rewardable
gift anyone could send me.
May G-d bless you and every
one in the coming years. I hope
the New Year will bring much
happiness to you and yours.
G-d speed to you.
Sp/4 Martin Libowsky
The very best to you too—and
all your buddies. —The Editor
