A surpise presentation to Mrs. Jean Rose by children of the "1948 Orphans Project" provided much of the excitement at the B.C. Centenary Evenihg presented last weekend by Canadian Congress and the Jewish Community Centre.
Representing the orphan group was Leo Lowy who presented a scroll which expressed appreciation for Mrs. Rose's efforts on their behalf. A cheque for a substantial amount was turned over to Canadian Jewish Congress to be used to purchase a scholarship in Mrs. Rose's name at a imiversity of her choice.
This followed the presentation of a plaque by Canadian Jewish Congress for the honoree's outstanding efforts as chairman of the Congress Aid to Immigrants committee.
In her response Mrs. Rose reviewed the thrilling and trying war years .when the Federated Jewish Women distinguished themselves in their war work for the Red Cross. She referred to the group of troubled children v/ho arrived in 1948 after experiences in Hitler's Europe which defied description. She pointed .out that these youngsters had to learn all over again how to trust people, how to give their love and how important it was for them to find that there were people who cared about them.
She noted that they had all made a superb adjustment and were now raising their own families.

Moe Cohen, presenting high lights of Canadian Jewish Con gress history, reviewed a num ber of the achievement of Con gress particularly with respect to the reception and rehabilitation of refugees. He noted the presence of Sam Tenenbaum in the audience and outlined the exciting Tailors Project through which many refugees were admitted to Canada, some 100 of whom came to Vancouver.
In charge of this program in Vancouver was Mr. Tenenbaum who served in a volimtary capacity but, as Mr. Cohen put it, "gave more time to the refugees than he did to his own business." For several years Mr. Tenenbaiun was in charge of immigrant reception and performed yeoman service on behalf of Canadian Jewish Congress. His store, became, for a time, immigrant headquarters for the Jewish Community, and his home and personal resources were made available in the placement and rehabilitation program.
Mr. Cohen also covered the history of Jewish war efforts in this city, particularly that of the Federated Jewish Women, the Orphans project and the reception of the Hungarian refugees.
The entertainment portion of the program was provided by the Talmud Torah Choir, Nirkoda dancers of the Jewish Community Centre, and vocalists Claire Klein Osipov and Murray Kenig.
Featured speaker of the evening was Judge Eric Chown, president of the Canadian Citizenship Court in Vacouver, who discussed the resposibilities of citizenshij).
