July 1949—"Clubs in Review: Lasker Lodge B'nai B'rith," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 1: The progress of the San Diego Lasker Lodge, No. 370, B'nai B'rith, since the beginning of the year and under a new administration, has been steady and satisfactory. Under the able and level-headed guidance of prexy William B. Schwartz, activities and facets of Bnai B'rith have shown a  marked improvement.  Officers for 1949 are as follows: Wiilliam B. Schwartz, president; Morris S. Kraus, first vice president; Jerome P. Freedman, second vice president; Ralph Feldman, warden; Lou Mogy, guardian; Sam Kimmel, recording secretary; Edward Baranov; financial secretary; Al Doctor, treasurer; Zel Greenberg, Manny Silberman, Jack Dembo, Marshall Naiman, and Sidney Goldstein, trustees; Edward Breitbard, chaplain; Morrie Douglas, grand lodge deputy; Eli Levenson is a member of the grand lodge executive committee and the lodge has a past grand president in the person of Henry Weinberger.  Highlights of activities of the present administration to date were the installation of officers at the El Cortez Jan. 16; the progress of the newly established Boy Scout troop, under the leadership of Sid Smith, Ed Breitbard, Dave Solof and Lou Levitt, to mention just a few; and the tremendous impetus given and achieved by the AZA under direction of Harry Wax and Bert Strauss.  Other activities included the fine work of the retention committee under Al Doctor; the Boy Scout window display context, in which 57 windows were entered and won by Ted Schiller; speakers Dr. Stuart Cole, executive director of the Pacific Coast Council on Intercultural activities, and Maurice Hamburger, district membership director; athletics under Lou Mogy which included the softball league and the highly successful bowling league under Sam Bennett and Harry Addis, and the forthcoming golf tournament under chairman Danny Schwartz. Not to be outdone by its predecessor, the second annual Fathers and Sons night was a howling and huge success. All the boys were again given miniature bats and it was one of the most unforgettable events in the lodge. The event was chaired by Morrie Douglas, greatly aided by a large and hard-working committee. Hillel, in its second year, achieved even greater success and recognition on San Diego State's campus with its intercultural and interfaith programs, ably supervised by Gil Shatz and Manny Silberman. A new project under this administration was the formation of an initiatory degree team headed by Sid Goldstein, Harry Mallen and Milt Roberts, which will give its first performance at the July 11 meeting. On April 11 the lodge held its first B'nai B'rith Cavalcade, headed by Ed Solomon, at which all past presidents of the lodge were honored, as well as 25-year members, and those members who had obtained 10 or more new applicants. The lodge was further honored when past president Ed Breitbard was elected as second vice-president of the So. Calif. B'nai B'rith Council. Many activities that have been planned in the past will soon begin to jell, among which will be a theatre party, an exclusive dinner-dance for members, and cultural evenings. Limitation of space precluded mentioning the many more programs accomplished and those anticipated. All in all, when this administration ends, the community will be proud of the achievements and record of San Diego Lasker Lodge during 1949—Morrie Kraus.
