Jack Klausners

"Childhood" Sweethearts

Pride, Shame' Seen In Rally

(Scond in a series) Jack M. Klausner and his pretty wife, Linda, are no strangers to the Indianapolis Jewish community. Jack was born here and Linda is a “transplanted” New Yorker. The Kausners have interesting careers. Jack works as an executive investment advisor with the stock brokerage firm of Thomson and McKinnon, while Linda, once a public school teacher, is now a busy housewife and mother. You might say the Klausners were ‘•childhood’' sweethearts. Jack met Linda (then Linda Zaft) when both attended Shortridge High .School. They started going together while Jack was a sophomore and Linda a freshman back in 1952 and married in 195# when Jack was graduated from Indiana University. Both Klausners entered the Army in 1959 for six months, Jack as a second lieutenant and Linda as a teacher at a post grade school at Fort Benning, Georgia. With Army duty behind him, Jack took a position with the Thomson and McKinnen firm where he has remained. His job — lie advises interested persons about the buying and selling of stock. ‘‘The work is very interesting. It’s demanding and time-con-suming. But, I wanted a job where I could meet the public in an advisory capacity and this fits in with the work I’m now doing.” he said. Advising the public on the buying and selling of stock is no easy task, by any means. Klausner must keep on top of the market constantly. In fact, he must be somewhat of an expert on world and national affairs in order to anticipate the market trends. *T read constantly. Sometimes, as many as five newspapers a day. I read periodicals and magazines and other

Were

publications. It keeps me busy, but it keeps me up with current events,” he said. In his work, Jack tries to fit a program to an individual’s needs and wants. He advises him on what stocks to purchase for long - term investments. “Speculative buying in which the purchaser wants a quick profit is more demanding. It sure keeps me hopping,” said Klausner. Linda, who gave up her career as a schoolteacher when Robert David arrived 10 months ago, is expecting a second child in January. She and Jack are hoping for a girl. Taking care of their home at 3525 Julie Lane and minding Robert is a full-time job for Linda. But she isn’t complaining. For their favorite pastime, the Klausners are avid bridge players and are always glad to host a friendly game. Although Jack is kept busy with his work and home life, he maintains a membership in B'nai B’rith and Jewish Welfare Federation. While at Indiana University, he was a a member of Sigma Alpha Mu social fraternity. Scabbard & Blade and the Society for the Advancement of Management. He just returned from twoweeks Army reserve training and went back to the market board to analyize stock trends. Occasionally he can be heard on radio in the early evening reporting the market trends. Family Pre-Teen Social Planned A family night pre-teen social will be held at the center from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m., Tuesday. Aug. 13. There will be a special fatherdaughter twist contest and a mother-daughter limbo competition. Refreshments will be served.

total Teens Help Form CYM Center teen-agers from Indianapolis took part last weekend in official creation of the Midwest section of the Center Youth Movement, a group designed to coordinate inter-city activities of a fivecity region. The session was at the JCC at Cincinnati. A group of 33 local teens participated. Other delegations were from Columbus, Dayton and Louisville. Other purposes of CYM include the exchange of program ideas between the various teen - age councils and to establish an executive board comprised of representatives of the five cities to meet several times a year to plan additional activities. The local group was headed by Norman Schimelman, the Center's teen and pre-teen director, and Ronald Cahn, program director for the Indianapolis Center who went as advisor to POK. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Sandler also accompanied the teens. The Indianapolis delegation won the group singing “hands down,” reported Cahn. With the help of the Sandlers, they composed a song adapted from “Bye, Bye Birdie,” the Broadway hit musical, en route to Cincinnati and their effort was such a hit it was no contest. Not so the softball tourney for the locals, who were losing to Cincinnati 9-2 when a cloudburst washed out the game Saturday night. The make-up game was lost Sunday, 12-8, but Dayton beat the host team for the title, 1-0. The CYM group's next session will be a planning meeting in Dayton in October. Regional officers will be elected and Indianapolis and Columbus are scheduled to submit bids for a midwinter basketball tourney and convention — probably to be held in February. Local teens who participated in the Cincinnati conclave were Rosie Kaplan, Diane Nahmias, Elyse Seidman, Shelley Skinner, Lynda Silver, Diana Etshokin, Jackie Elster, Kathi Krieger, Harriet Shorr. Sunni Schwartz, Florence Bremen, Debby Seif, Elaine Calderon, Arlene Sharfman, John Tzucker, Barry Pakula. Mike Golden, Todd M. Goldstein, Howard Yosha, Ronnie Nahmias, Steve Salm'an, Howard Schuff, Sam Greenberg, Larry Zukerman, Arnold Stein, Alan S. Bryan, Norman Glanzman, Sidney Glanzman, Allan Seif, Joey Refkin, William Rubenstein, and Barry Shuckman. Credit Union Moves The office of the Jewish Community Credit Union has moved from 634 to 734 Lemcke Bldg. Mrs. Rae Resnick is office manager. The credit union is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m., to 3 p.m,, and currently pays 414 per cent dividends to shareholders, compounded semi-annually. The credit union invites the Jewish community of greater Indianapolis to take advantage of its services, including personal and business loans.

Influential Jewish members of the community who participated in last Sunday’s Civil Rights March through downtown Indianapolis described the rally as an effort to hasten the lowering of racial barriers. But it was also a “day of pride and shame,” said Rabbi Maurice Davis, one of the speakers in University Park. The spiritual leader of Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation said it was a day of pride “that so many of us could meet together and march together in a common cause." But he added it was also a “day of shame that such a demonstration should be necessary in a free land.” “Let us, however, look upon this day as one filled not with strife but of striving; not of anger, bu£ of aspiration,” said Rabbi Davis. As a Jew and as a rabbi, said Davis, “I am pledged to t h i s cause, which is not your cause nor mine, but ours.” “The Negro American has pricked the conscience of our community and our country and all America stands, therefore, in your debt,” said Rabbi Davis. The march was sponsored by the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to muster support for civil rights legislation now pending in Congress. “In this land of freedom, there yet shall be freedom,” said Rabbi Davis. “In this land of justice, there yet shall be justice. In this land of ours, there yet shall be one law — and all of us shall be equal in its sight.” Rabbi Davis described the crowd in University Park in a “holiday mood,” despite oppressive heat. It was a crowd, he said, that was most appreciative. He said the parade route was lined with many Negroes standing on the sidewalks. “Some waved, some turned

away, some joined us along the route,” the rabbi said. - “It was especially gratifying to see many members of my congregation in the audience and in the march,” Rabbi Davis said. David Goldstein, director of the Jewish Community Relations Council, and his wife, Baila, also participated in the march with NAACP officials. Goldstein said he was “very gratified” to see the number of people that turned out. “The rally represented a larger number of people than any civil rights rally in Indianapolis in many years,” he said. “It symbolizes new unity in the Negro community, which will bring about progress at a more rapid rate than we have had in tne past.” Goldstein said the Negro community should use “every method that is peaceful to effectuate the goals of social justice.” “The Jewish community should consider recent developments and consider its own commitments,” he said. “This is a movement Jews s ft o u 1 d be personally involved in.” David M. Cook, president of the Indiana Jewish Community Relations Council, called it a “very impressive, dignified affair. . .to recognize the rights of all people.” Cook and Mrs. Cook, who is a member of the Mayor’s Human Relations Committee, also attended the rally. Four members of the local executive committee of B’nai B’rith’s Anti-Defamation League attended as individuals. The committee, headed by Walter Wolf Jr., issued a prepared statement saying the principles for which this type of demonstration was intended “Must be supported and endorsed.” But it added that “there was a strong feeling that particular techniques, such as parades, need be reviewed. . .to determine whether or not these techniques are the best devices for achieving stated objectives.” “The board felt that where the objectives are unclear. . .and a consultive process which involves ADL leadership is not available . . .endorsement of a particular approach may not be the wisest or most prudent course to pursue.” In effect, the board did not “officially” endorse the parade and rally, but encouraged those who felt a desire to participate as individuals to do so.
