One of the respondents said lhat "Judaism should be kept going" but failed to say why! This is a crucial part of the intermarriage "problem" s i n c e many Jews don't know why they thould stay Jews. Pervading the part of the argument about children "lost to Judaism" is the assumption that children should follow their parents' religion. This, I think, is in need of examination, being one of the most anti-intellectual concepts of mankind. If we would let our children make their own decisions when they are ready (beyond basic ethical training— which need not be based on a religions hf'ljpfl perhaps many more of the interfaith marriages would survive. I have come to no conclusion about this matter, but there Eeems to be no one answer. No interfaith marriage is ipso facto unsuccessful, but it could be more rewarding. The degree of success depends on the partners' love and intelligence, mutual understanding and willingness lo make significant concessions (something present in all marriages, not just interfaith ones). To make choices based on the World Almanac or a one-sided education will not lead to success, in marriage or anything else. j Allen Horvvich CJunior, Princeton University) I

New Israel Air Routes Approved Rome <JTA)—A four-week conference of '46 countries of Africa and. the Indian Ocean ended here with approval of three new air routes using Israeli facilities over strong objections by seven Arab members. The plenary subcommittee of the International Civilian Aviation Organization approved the air routes and other recommendations to be submitted to the ICAO council in Montreal. The subject of the conference was n five-year civil air communication plan for the region. ARAB OPPOSITION The three new air routes are Nairobi (Kenya) to Teheren. already in operation, Nairobi to Tel Aviv and Kano (Nigeria) to Tel Aviv. The seven Arab delegations opposed fiercely inclusion of the three air routes in Ilie technical plan. The Arabs Buffered their first defeat on the issue when the other delegations brushed aside Arab warnings that, t-hey would not allow such flights to pass over their territories. The vote was 13 to eight with 11 abstentions. / When the Arabs opposed Inclusion of Israel in a plan for exchange of metereological information, they were defeated by a vote of 12 to seven.

iate attempt to flaunt pseudos o p h is t i cated intellectualism. Now I'm not so sure this is true. I know Alien Horwich to be a bright serious young man and not ytuiK to expressing opinions without thought and sincerity. His letter, therefore should be considered seriously. I am particularly disturbed by his comment that "many Jews don't know why they should stay Jews" and the indication that there may be a fallacy in the assumption thst children should follow the religion of their parents. I am disturbed. I think, because I believe there is much truth ill these comments! Too many of our young people do not know why they should remain Jews. "Jews by virtue of birth" is not acceptable to our young intellectuals; and we seem to have failed to give to some of our youth a basis for "remaining Jews by choice!" I do not agree with Allen's attitudes towards interfaith marriage, but in my opinion ail of us share some of the blame for the void of positive Jewish thinking Hint produces these attitudes.

Teen Talk by Barbara Jess In the Press last week, there was an article about the meeting of future Bar and Bas Mitzvah parents. Most of the p a r e n t s agreed that the number of Bar Mitzvah parties should be greatly limited. Undoubtedly the kids will have something to say about this. • I'm sure all of my sophisticated contemporaries can recall their juvenile childhood when they went to seventh grade parties. So I will ask them: Were you ready for seventh grade parties? Why? MARC KAPLAN, SENIOR "No, because I didn't know how to dance or bear hug in the corner. I'm still learning.*' (You'd r.evcr believe that Marc is a shy, retiring boy.) DONNA CANFIELI), JUNIOR "Yes, because they were something different." MARG0 NEESMAK, SOPHOMORE "Yes, because I had attended parties in sixth grade; so the seventh grade parties weren't anything new or different." MICKEY SCIILOFF, SOPHOMORE "No, because I didn't know a lot of the kids." JERRY HAZNICK, FRESHMAN "Yes, I had matured enough to know I could handle any situation that arose." MARSHA ELKON, FRESHMAN "No, I wasn't ready to socialize with the boys." And so, to my younger readers, I would like to say this: Please remember theso comments. You can use them as arguments pro and con. And to the parents of the high school teenagers: Please don't say "I told you so." It's very degrading to our sophisticated souls. :

MONALISA House of Glamour

by Carl Alpert Haifa —• Three iiiontlis before their term of over two year.; of compulsory military service had ended, some :i25 Israeli soldiers received special orders detaching them from their outfits .-ill over the country, and assigning them to Camp Marcus, located on top of Mt. Carmel. They eyed each other that first day in the new barracks. What was army life going to be like during these last three months before they again became civilians? Camp Marcus It did not take them long to find out. Their new commanding' oitictr gathered them together. This camp is named after Col. Mickey Ivlai'curj. the Arnencnn military officer who came hero to help Israel in its war of liberation, he told them. Marcus was of great help in training the troops and in planning strategy back in 1948—but he did not know Hebrew. Stepping out of his tent one dark night in the Jerusalem c o r r i d o r , he was challenged by an Israeli sentry. He stammered a reply. The sentry called out again, seeking a H e b r e w response. Receiving none, he fired at the suspicious shadow. Marcus was tragically killed. The speaker paused for a moment. We must know the language of the country, he went on. We must realize the value of an education, not only in language but in every area of life. Unless he has at least a basic education no man will over get very far nor will he find happiness and satisfaction in life. Soldiers To Study And then he told the 325 soldiers what they would be doing for the next three months. They would be going to school. Their records had shown that none of them had had adequate schooling. Indeed, 30 had never gone to school in their lives, and could be classed as illiterates. 85 had never gotten beyond the fifth grade. The remainder had gone only a little further than that. Before they doffed their uniforms they would undergo an intensive program of concentrated study totalling 500 classroom hours in language, history, arithmetic, geography, civics, Bible and as much more as could be squeezed in to give them that Which they had been denied as chifdren because of social or economic c i r c u m stances. This was the 21st cycle to go through Camp Marcus. Several thousand men had received this educational bonus from en army which was concerned with making them not only gooi soldiers Together with their commanding officer, Lt.-Col. Tsivion, I made the rounds of some of the classes. Fifteen men was the maximum size of any class. The teachers are all young girls, most of them also serving their period of compulsory service, but with some training in education. Put a p r e t t y girl in smart uniform at the head of a class of fifteen rough, seraischooled soldiers about their own age and what happens? I saw the respect and the devotion with which the teacher was

And after they "graduate" the army will comb the new crop of draftees, and another 300 or more recent immigrants to Israel will gather to hear the story of Col.^JVlarcus—and to buckle down to 500 hours of concentrated study. Tile army of Israel is world renowned for its heroic exploits and its military training, but in my eyes this little known educational program at Camp Marcus is its finest achievement.

treated. She becomes for tl.em a symbol of a better way of life, and frequently even assumes the mother image in the minds of the soldiers. There are disciplinary problems aplenty with a group of men of this kind, but seldom in connection with the frail, determined {'iris who patiently drill the three K's into them. When the program was still in an experimental stage the army ollcrtd this basic education at the very beginning of the soldiers' military career. It was not altogether successful. For one thing, the men were not yet disciplined. Furthermore, motivation was lacking. Observed Classes I watched several class-£js The tough-looking men bit their pencils and furrowed up their brows. They repeated sentences after the teacher; they raised their hands to volunteer answers; they poured over teaching machines which the army had installed so that each student could proceed at his own pace. Most of them were immigrants from countries like Morocco, Iraq, Tunis, Yemen, Persia, Turkey, Tripoli—where they had never had a c h a n c e . A goodly number were also of Israel birth, but from family backgrounds where economic circumstances or lack of tradition had compelled them to drop out of school early.
