For the second year in succession, a Detroit Jew, Herman Radner, opened yesterday his free lunch room at Walkerville, Ontario, providing 1,200 unemployed with as much food as they can eat.
Representatives of the city administrations of all the Border Cities, including Windsor, Walkerville, and Sandwich, and of civic and industrial organisations in Detroit and the Canadian cities, were present at the opening.
No questions are asked, Mr. Radner said, and the only requirement for service at our free lunch room is a healthy appetite.
Mr. Radner will spend over 25,000 dollars in maintaining the lunch room for the next three months. In a period of three months last year Mr. Radner’s free lunch room provided food for 110,000 people at a cost of 28,000 dollars. Hundreds of children were given free meals.
