Mike Sossin Relates Fascinating Story
It was wonderful runnin]; into Mike Sossin the otJiei-day. Here on a brief holiday the Toronto-born, evenly tanned, 54-year-old. dynamo who looks much younger than his chronological age was bubbling over with joyful anticipation about plans for the 100-bed convalescent residence on the Blackstone property, long a landmark in Miami Beach's South Shore area.
Dr. Michael Sossin, the "man with a heart", is the owner and managing direc tor of Miami Beach's 250-room Blackstone Retire Residence, the popular "home with a heart".
Modestly he says, "If you were to give me the Fon-
TORONTO WOMEN
A highlight of the Leadership Conference and Investiture of Toronto's Israel Bond Orgmiza. tion, at the Parle Plaza on June 23rd, was the awarding of Women of Valor pins to Mrs. Hyman Sugar and Mrs. FranK Silverberg for their achievement of $100,000 in sales and collection of State of Israel Bond. Chen awards also were made to lead ing volunteers in the Women's Division for their devoted efforts in the 1965 campaign.
Dr. Joseph J. Schwartz, world leader of State of Israel Bonds, was the guest of honor. In his address, Dr, Schwartz stated, "... This year Israel celebrates two milestones in its history; the first, the Year of Chai or 18th anniversarj' of its independence; the second, the l:th anniversary of the founding of the Israel Bond Organization."
The occasion also marked the inauguration of Max Shectcr as general campaign chairman for the 1966-67 campaign and thi installation of Bert Godfrey as chairman of the Board of Governors.

tainebleu, I just wouldn't know what to do with it. I'm not in the hotel business."
But when mention is made of his pride and joy, the home for senior citizens — then he becomes ebullient.
The Blackstone Hotel, which is strictly kosher, offers luxurious living for senior citizens of discriminating taste. Not only have they all the comforts of a continental hotel, with good climate thrown in, but they receive personal and individual care which only the elderly can appreciate.
There are many minor aggravations which, left to ester, can become harrowing. However, as one of the very few authorities in the field of aging, Dr. Sossin, who laughingly claims he's gebruttener Litvak", always is a step ahead.
For instance, by experience he knows that watching the elderly man with the wrong roommate may pro-oke a 3 a.m. telephone call, Sossin, get this man out

SPECIAL CARE AND ATTENTION
of my room, he is smoking cigarettes and dropping ashes all over the floor! Habits of seventy years, Sossin maintains, are hard to break.
Dr. Sossin earnestly .states, "The two big problems facing older people coming to live in a TCtire-Dient residence are lonliness and a sense of insecurity, consider an initial interview a success if in ten minutes I have made an applicant smile."
Attention to the last detai cannot be spared. Dr. Sossin maintains. "We have kosher kitchen; we have special food for people who must avoid salt, have diabetes or allergies."
Ramps and handrails are a prominent feature at this home conducive to relaxation and peace. A medical clinic operates Tuesdaj-s and Saturdays; a podiatry clinic on Thursday. Saturday is movie day; Tuesday, bingo; Thursday, social hour — not to forget the chapel which is constantly visited for meditation and prayer.
For, "Maybe," Dr. Sossin muses, "we can't offer our older people complete happiness, but I think we give them security and contentment."
As for the less robust, or if illness takes over, a 100-bed nursing home soon will be evident. The project will cost approximately $750,000, providing for the most modern features found in convalescent residences any where in the world.
M'ke adds, "One major necessity in Miami Beach is to make hospital beds available during the long winter season for those in need of emergency care and acute cases. Thus our convalescent facility will be a perfect compliment to the fine hospitals of Miami Beach."
Dr. Michael Sossin is one of twelve members of the official Florida Commission on Aging. He is a past president of the Temple Emanu-El Brotherhood, past president of the Miami Beach Lodge of B'nai B'rith, also a past president of Dade County Humane Society. He has founded several major senior citizens' organizations in the area.

OBLIGING
The president of the little congregation in a small town was frantic. A rabbi was engaged for the High Holy Days. But two days before the Jewish New Year, the rabbi had wired that, in response to an urgent call, he had decided to leave immediately as a chaplain in the U. S. Army.
Hastily the president summoned the two trustees and they began to take counsel. Since there was no layman capable of conducting services, it was pointed out that drastic action would have to be taken.
When the people came to the synagogue Rosh Hasha-na Eve, they found the following sign over the door: "Postponed: Owing to the absence of our rabbi who was unexpectedly called on a patriotic mission. Holy Day ser\'ices will be held on a later date".
for this deficiency by resorting to flower>' phrases. He concluded his well-memorized sermon by saying: "A study of Jewish life in this country will convince you that if the Jew adheres loyally to his faith he will once again attain' the pinnacle ol his glor)'".
After the sermon the trustees gathered in a corner to discuss the rabbi informally. ' I think he is the man we arc looking for", said the president. "He is just like the rest of us. He plays pinochle".
IN ACCORD
The rabbi who had delivered the trial sermon in the s>'nagogue knew his bad accent was against him. Therefore he tried to make up

SLOW AND EASY
By RUTHIE
You know how one of the songs go from Porgy and Bess: Sumnier time, and the livin' is easy.
That doesn't include the millions of mamas, because Mama always is worrying about how the kids
could beat the heat, which leaves her in a hot stew. *******
Mama, she should rest in Heaven, and Papa, he too, never were able to send us to camp. All extras went for more education, like music and Hebrew lessons. They believed we should be gebildet (educated), it would pay off.
So, smart as they were, they did the next best thing to a holiday: lived at a resort all-year round.
I remember when I began school in a four-room cottage In Coney Island. Going and coming in the winter was hard. Who cleaned the streets of snow and ice? It looked like a ghost town.
But the compensations started after Passover. Little by little the area came awake. People from all over (Bronx, Manhattan, other points) rode out to Coney Sundays looking for rooms for the summer season. And we were so smug — we lived there.
There was a place called Feltmanns — extinct now — where we kids could go to and ooh and ah at the sight of the wealthy ladies and gentlemen having fun in their refined way; Nathan's was just about budding but we weren't allowed to sample the hot dogs because they weren't kosher; the loopty-loop was our favorite ride. But our greatest joy was the . outdoor movie.
Our windows, up on the third floor, faced the screen of one of the movie houses. And I was the most popular kid on the block because all my friends were able td squeeze onto the fire escape every night. We saw the movies for nothing.
That too was the time when Mama and Papa, like all the other natives, decided it would be a good idea to cash in, to lay aside some money in case of -an- . other slack season in Papa's business. So every summer they rented the big front room and a bedroom.
We kids never were deprived of our conveniences. But just for three months — from the middle of June to the middle of September, till Rosh Hashana — Papa slept on the lundj (lounge) in the kitchen (he swore the leather made him feel cool) and Mama slept on the porch (she said it was the best part of the house and any\vay she could catch the milkman if she needed anything extra).
Every kid had a ball during the height of the season. Monday morning was our best time.
Every Sunday brought thousands of city folk who, on their one day off, swamped the place. And every Monday morning our gang converged on the beach. We were like vultures seeking prey. What we searched for was money — pennies, nickels, dimes. Were we lucky! You just can't believe what things dropped out of people's pants pockets. We'd make a small fortune — and immediately blew it on anything a youngster could want.
Summertime was fun.
*******
What we didn't realize was what it did to Mama. Half the time she had to appease the roomers: the room was too small or too hot or didn't have enough closet space or was too noisey.
And save money? Huh, every weekend hordes of relatives we ne\er even knew we had swarmed down. Nu, you had to feed them.
And the house was always so clean. And Mama was always so cheerful.
If we only had the brains then that we have now.
You think a mama changes? The kids are at camp. And what does this mama do? She sits and wonders if her precious is cooling off in the lake while she's in a pool of perspiration. And then her heart goes pitter-patter hoping she doesn't swim too far out. Then she thinks ....
Mamas, Mamas!
