school for religious and social studies maintained by the Society of Quakers.

Mr. Jenner.

Is it all one word, Pendlehill, or two words?

Mrs. Paine.

Two words.

Mr. Jenner.

You told us yesterday that in the summer of 1952 you were a delegate to--state it again.

Mrs. Paine.

The Friends World Conference, at Oxford.

Mr. Jenner.

Oxford, England?

Mrs. Paine.

England.

Mr. Jenner.

And you also attended----

Mrs. Paine.

A Young Friends Conference.

Mr. Jenner.

At Reading, England.

Mrs. Paine.

Right.

Mr. Jenner.

Then the period August 1954 through May 1955, you were associated with the Young Men's Hebrew Association and the Young Women's He- brew Association of Philadelphia, Pa.?

Mrs. Paine.

That is right.

Mr. Jenner.

And you were particularly given an assignment, and I may say everybody anticipated it being a difficult one, of working with the Golden Age Club. Is that correct?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes; I had three club assignments and this was the one that took the most time.

Mr. Jenner.

Would you please tell us what those assignments were? You say there were three.

Mrs. Paine.

Yes; I worked with the Golden Age Club as you have said, with a group of young adults, and also with an open lounge, lounge with games and playing cards, newspapers, for members' use.

Mr. Jenner.

I think it would profit us in bringing out your background if you take those three groups and in capsule form tell us what your work in connection with those groups was. Take the Golden Age Club first. They were a group of what people?

Mrs. Paine.

The Golden Age Club consisted of people over the age of 60, all of them Jewish.

Mr. Jenner.

Were they all emigres?

Mrs. Paine.

To the best of my knowledge, all or certainly nearly all emigres. In fact, most of them had come from, a good many of them had come from Kiev, and they had come around the turn of the century.

Mr. Jenner.

That is a city in Russia?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes; and they spoke Yiddish in conducting their business meetings, to one another, although since most of them, all of them had been in this country for a long time they understood English and spoke it. There were some who did not read and write English, and I undertook to teach a few.

Mr. Jenner.

What was your particular activity in connection with this group?

Mrs. Paine.

I was to help them in achieving their plans for parties and club activities and to act as liaison between the club and the Y, which sponsored the club.

Mr. Jenner.

Were these elderly people, set in their ways, who avoided change?

Mrs. Paine.

I felt it would be quite a remarkable group of very interesting people, and very able people. I felt that as a club leader I didn't really need to do much more than stay out of their way and help them in communication between one another and specifically in communication between the club and the organization, the Y.

Mr. Jenner.

In general, what was their view towards the United States of America, as a group?

Mrs. Paine.

Oh, they loved America very much. They raised their families here.

Mr. Jenner.

That is the first of those three groups.

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

What was the next?

Mrs. Paine.

The second was the group of young adults that met once a week.
