GIANTS WIN HALL OF FAME GAME

Recall Playing Days

COoPERSTOWN, N. Y, July
"a DIT must be a wonder
full country when a boy from the
Bronx and a boy from San
Francisco can win such honors
with a baseball bat"
Hank Greenberg stood on a
platform in front of baseball's
Hall of Fame, talking to those
who came to honor him and Joe
Cronin as its newest members.
Both men are general man
ayers now, Greenberg at Cleve-
land and Cronin at Boston, but
the big crowd that stretched
across Main street to the post
Office steps came to hear them
talk of their playing days. Both
men obliged.

nervous standing up here" said
the 45-year-old Greenberg, who
was born in New York's Bronx
and won baseball fame as q slug
ger at Detroit. But I have the
same butterflies as when I used
to anticipate hitting against
Lefty Grove, Lefty Gomez or
Red Ruling with the bases
loaded.
when I played in the first
game at Cooperstown when the
Hall of Fame was dedicated in
1889 with men like Walter
johnson, Ty Cobb and Babe
Ruth being honored, little
dreamed I would be on the same
platform
Both Swap Compliments
Greenberg and Cronin snapped
compliments in their brief talks,
each saying how much the other
deserved this great honor.
"Cronin already was one of
the great stars when I came
along" Greenberg said. He
added, "He used to tip me of
what they were throwing. OF
course, he made mistakes some
times" The crowd laughed, APP
preciating the fact no pail player
would even tell his own mother
what pitch was coming next.

Council Report:
By Benjamin n. Brook
Executive Director
Tucson Jewish Community
Council

The year 1856 has been one
of growth and stabiliZation for
the Tucson Jewish Commun-
ity and its organized consti-
tuent agency, the Jewish Com
munity Council.
This year witnessed a per-
iod of consolidation, the de-
velopment of new leadership,
increased unity within the
community and concomitent
with this new strengths to
meet the tasks and needs of
Jewry, whether at home in
Tucson, the United States, ov-

ship has begun to assume sig
nificance and be recognized on
a sectional, regional and ma
tional level. Our readers have
been placed on national
boards. Our lay and profes-
sional staff have been asked
to conduct seminars and par
ticipate as leaders in national
and regional conventions.
This year of consolidated
and unified effort witnessed
the outstanding Combined
Jewish Appeal Campaign in
Tucson's history-$128, 100000
raised for our regular local,
national and overseas needs
as well as the Israel Emer-
gency Campaign.
Reflected in this outstand-
ing campaign, is the fact that
our local banks and our local
community was willing to

sibility for the largest bank

which helped to place these
local agencies on a sound fl
nancial footing and enabled
them to carry through a well
planned program for their
people.
A THIRD MAJOR develop
ment this year, was the legal
separation of the Jewish Com
munity Council and the Jew
ish Community Center. With
the creation, establishment
and erection of the new build
ing to house the program of
activities of the Jewish Com
munity Center by the Coun-
Gil, it was felt that the further
development of both organi-
cations would be enhanced
and strengthened by a mutual
separation on a legal basis
with the Center operated by
its own Board of Directors.
This was accomplished on a
mutually harmonious basis by
the leadership of both the
Center and the Council.
The Social Service work of
the Council was furt h er
strengthened and developed.
In addition to its work in the
field of health and welfare,
our child adoption services
were expanded; our work in
the area of the aging was in
creased to the extent that
plans are underway to secure
an additional caseworker,
specifically assigned to work
with this age group.
Our Armed Forces Commit
tee continued to meet the
needs of the Jewish soldiers
in this area, on a social, recre-
ationaI and cultural level. A
Joint committee on Armed
Forces work in Tucson is con-
sidering new areas of devel-
opment and our Arm e d
Forces Committee is very
much a part of this work.
OUR CALENDAR Commit
tee further strengthened it's
work in behalf of a joint CO.
operative calendar of fund
raising activities, between all
organizations. We can proud
ly report there were no seri-
Gus conflicts on any fund
raising dates between any or
