Threatens To
Sue Over
Orphanage

TORONTO (JTA).-United
Jewish Welfare Fund of To-
ronto has been threatened
with a 100000 suit for dam
ages by the leader of a group
proposing to build a Jewish
orphanage here that UJWF
aand Canadian Jewish Con-
greSs have said is unneces-
Sary.
Morris Grossman, president
of the recently formed Onta-
rio Hebrew Children's Home,
threatened to sue unless the
matter is settled to his salts
faction. The 100000, he said,
represents the amount his
campaign lost through the
UJWF-Congress opposition to
the project.
The local community has
successfully met orphan prob
lens through the foster
home" plan offered by Jew
ish communities "in Montreal,
Winnipeg and many cities of
the United States" the state
ment said. Mr.. Grossman, a
clothing store owner, came to
Canada six years ago. He says
he was raised in an orphan
age himself in Bratislava,
CzechoSlovakia, more than 40
years ago.
He said he obtained a char
ter for the proposed home II
months ago, and that since
that time more than 300 peo-
pie have indicated support.
The UJWF-Congress state
ment notes that a Jewish or
phanage Situated on Annette
Street in Toronto closed its
doors some 20 years ago be-
cause it was found imprac-
tical.
The UJWF-Congress state
ment also noted: Proof that
an orphanage is unnecessary
is provided in the experience
of 1,200 Jewish orphans
brought from Europe to Can
ada by the Congress after the
second World War. These
children were placed in suita-
BILE foster homes and a vast
majority already have taken
their places in communal life
and are making constructive
contributions to the welfare
of their adopted country"

By JUEL REED COVER
News Staff Writer

Forty-seven families who
occupy houses on Lockwood

been notified by the CeloteX
Corporation, owner of the
properties, that it has become nee
eSsary for the company to discon-
tinue housing facilities in the
Port Clinton area, and that they
must vacate by September 1.
Contacted this week concerning
current rumors that a planned eX-
pansion of the Celotez plant is mo-
tivating the change, manager Rob
ert Stetsen said 'We are always
trying to improve and modernize
the plant. There is nothing crys-
tallized at the present moment. AS
far as the houses are concerned,
that's an entirely different matter,
which is being handled by our at
torneys entirely"
The families, several of them
occupants of Celotex owned houses
for more than 25 years, are being
given the opportunity of buying
their homes, and moving them to
new location. Arrangements to
move at least three of the houses
already have been made.
