Since Harriette Glasner moved to
West Palm Beach 38 years ago,
she's seen to the welfare of hun-
dreds, of children and adults
through the founding of many so-
cial service groups.
She has been honored many
times for her volunteer work, most
recently at a luncheon given by the
Ohav chapter of B'nai B'rith'Wom-

The benefit luncheon Thursday
was for the Children's Home in Is-
rael, a residential treatment center
for emotionally disturbed boys.

she said. "I f fled a suit and got the
county to integrate them."
Glasner helped found Friends of
Abused Children, and began
Planned Parenthood of the Palm
Beach Area Inc. in 1972, serving as
president and executive director.
She also founded the American
Civil Liberties Union here 25 years

ACLU while living in Chicago dur-

who are being deported.
"I know what it is to be poor, and
that when you are poor you don't
have the freedom to live your life
doing what you want to do," - she
said. "Now that I have that free-
dom, I do what I can for those who
don't. IRA$ 4- 1 Aelt 11-k
