“A country of contrasts,” where the old and the new mingle, where wealth and poverty live side by side, is how Bill and Jean Schwartz describe Mexico. They saw much in their three weeks there—tropical Mazatlan; the luxurious homes of Cuernavaca; the ruins of Oaxaca, a booom town since the recent extensive archeological discoveries made there; the magnificent new University of Mexico built entirely of native lava rock; Guadalajara; Vera Cruz; Rivera’s controversial painting in the Del Prado Hotel in Mexico City
Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Berlin entertained at a cocktail party for 125 guests in their home on August 29th in honor of the Dedication of the new Tifereth Israel Center. Most of their guests did not know, however, that the Berlins had observed their wedding anniversary just a few days before.
Another instance recently when many guests didn't realize their hosts were celebrating two occasions was the garden party the Lou Moorsteens gave in honor of their son and daughter-in-law, Pat and Dick Moorsteen. It was also Esther and Lou’s anniversary—an important one, but they won’t tell which.
Rose and Al Neumann’s days are brighter these days since the return from the Orient of their son, Arthur.
Guests numbering 175 will be served cocktails and buffet supper in the colorful Harris garden on Sunday, Sept. 6th when Gert and Ben entertain their friends in honor of their 20th wedding anniversary.
Anniversary season is in full swing—Julia and Mack Kaufman observed theirs last week. Son Paul, has left for Berkeley to become acclimated to campus life before starting classes at the University of California.

Council Social Work Yearbook
Tells of Service Increases
Southwestern Jewish Press September 4, 1953 Page 16
Despite continued high cost of operation and a drop in philanthropic contributions, Jewish Social Welfare Agencies throughout the nation increased local services of 1952, it was announced by Julian S. Freeman, Indianapolis, president of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare F
unds in the Social Work Yearbook distributed recently by the Council.
Eli Levenson, president of the western region of the Council, stated that portions of the report were pertinent to the San Diego situation. He stressed the following highlights:
- The 4% increase in the number of persons cared for in Jewish Homes for the Aged as well as 5% gain in the number of beds available in Homes. At least eighteen communities were adding new facilities for the chronically ill aged. (San Diego Hebrew Home for the Aged is contemplating building in the very near future a home for a least twenty-five guests.)
- More than forty-five thousand persons received counseling and aid from Jewish Family Service Agencies. Direct assistance to immigrants dropped 16%. (In the first seven months of 1953 the Jewish Social Service Agency of San Diego assisted 544 individuals. There has been a similar drop in immigrant cases in San Diego.)
There is a decline in immigration; there were 7200 in 1952 as compared with almost 38,000 in 1948—Jewish Family Service Agencies recorded a drop in the number of new Americans in their case loads. This enabled the agencies, as it did in San Diego, to devote greater attention to counseling native born families with marital, parent-child, or personal difficulties.
San Diego, according to Albert A. Hutler, executive director of the Federation and Fund, showed the same amount of increases in local services as did other communities throughout America.
