Rabin's Independence Day Message Given # JERUSALEM (JTA) "The search for peace" was described

by Premier Yitzhak Rabin as "the supreme priority" among the "five major challenges" which "together hold the key".to tie "collective welfare" of Israel and world Jewry on the 28th anniversary of the Independence of the State of Israel. ' The anniversary was celebrated May S in Rabin elucidated on the meaning of Israel's Independence Day. He said, "It draws a line between past survival by chance and future existence by self-will; of being helplessly controlled by events and of controlling events by our own choice, means and purpose;" %|p It Is, Rabin said, "a celebration of the victory of the Jewish spirit over every suppressor and despot, past and present. It is"a Jewish festival of freedom as lasting and as indestructible as the values, the faith and the heritage which Inspire it."

• As the second ''major challenge" after the search for peace, Rabin listed "the strengthening of our defensive capacity"because "so long as the basic attitude of our neighbors remains one of hostility, we have no chocie but to continue to invest heavily In our self-defense.':' ;, The third challenge, Rabin said, was "the further consolidation of our economic Infrastructure: an essential component of Israel's strength is its economic development'which must continue to expand. This requires of us to work even harder, export more and comsume less. It requires Of the free Jewish world to invest In Israel in an unprecedented fashion and share, thereby in it upbuilding.",

That depends upon you.

Many familiar words can be just phrases if you allow them to be.

Consider these words: Husband, wife, children, parents. , Do you take your family for granted?

Or do you remember what they mean?

So much depends upon you, and what you choose to remember.

Familiarity can breed apathy: But apathy .cannot be your goal, not in your life with your family, not in your relationship^with Israel.

Election Results A Possible Catalyst . Editor's Note: The author, wfcio.is Editor Cmeritus of the Near East Report, will Welcome questions and conunents about the media. Write him at 830 National Press Building, Washington, D.C. 20045.

By I. L. Kenen At a time when Lebanon was debauched by a murderous civil'war, Arabs voted freely on the West Bank. Antiquated and discriminatory Jordanian election laws, once confined to male property owners, were liberalized and extended to all, including women. .

• . ' Since the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel has held a broadly accepted benign "trusteeship" over the area, ruling with a mild — almost invisible — hand. The standard of living rose appreciably; and during the election campaign, candidates expressed their views freely.

The results demonstrated that many oldtimers had passed from the scene, and a new young generation of Palestinian Arabsemerged as the winners.

As The Richmond Times-Dispatch commented on April 19, Israel was "a victim of its • own generosity. The evidence is that many of these newly-enfranchised citizens closed the curtains and promptly delivered a sharp slap in the face of the enfranchises." < ' But there is hope that the election result may be a catalyst for peaceful Arab-Israeli existence. Having watched the civil war In Jordan in 1970, when Hussein expelled the PLO, and the ongoing senseless destruction of Lebanon, for which the PLO bears some responsibility. West Bank Palestinians, may wisely reject Arafat as their spokesman.

After achieving a measure of selfdetermination, they would be unwise to throw itaway. ,A separate West Bank state is not an economic or political viability. To permit Arafat and the PLO to grab leadership would turn the West Bank into a military base for War against Israel and Jordan, even as the PLO made a shambles out of Lebanon.

Arafat has not distinguished himself in the current struggle in Lebanon. No Lebanese leader, Christian, Druse or Moslem, has risen to the top. The civil war has been a setback for Assad of Syria, who has not made his peace pian work. ,

World opinioncan play a constructive role in helping the Palestinians to reach a realistic decision. In the past, the media and the UN have promoted Arafat to a leadership he never merited. It was so easy for Arabs to say "If he is good enough for the UN, he must be good enough for us."

But the Lebanese bloodbath has discredited , the PLO thesis of a "democratic, secular" state. The goal in Israel and in the occupied territories should be cooperation and coexistence. Extreme solutions, like a return to the 1967 border, or the liquidation of Israel, or the establishment of a "secular" state all Ignore the basic issues of defenslbility, i demography, and cooperation.

HATEBY ASSOCIATION We congratulate Stephen S. Rosenfeld on his eloquent response to his fellow Washington Post columnist, William Raspberry, who warned Israel and American Jews that they might forfeit the friendship of blacks if Israel deals with South Africa.

;in IKy.Garl Alpert

HAIFA - Israel marks its Independence Day by the Hebrew calendar. The fifth day of the month of Iyar occurs in 1976 on May 5, and that is when the Israelis are celebrating.

Jews in the Diaspora, who maintain the secular calend a r , w i l l hold t h e i r celebrations on May 14, the day when Ben Gurion summoned his notables to the old Tel Aviv Museum and there proclaimed the establishment of a State whose name had not even been decided upon until the last moment.

This explains why the first postage stamps of the country, prepared in advance, carried only the words Doar Ivri, Hebrew Post, since nobody knew yet what the new baby would be called.

Israel's Independence anniversary Is a day of contradictions and paradoses; Israel never wanted to bo an empire. It never aspired to occupy t e r r i t o r i e s or "conquer" other peoples. All we wanted was to return to a little corner,of land whence our people came in times gone by. There we sought, not glories or triumphs, but the peace and quiet which our people' bad been so long denied. ,

Rosenfeld says that "it would be unfair to retaliate against Israel or its American . Jewish supporters" for transactions in which others also engage,, including Britain and France, which supply South Africa with weapons, and several black African states, which have made economic arrangements with South Africa.

Blacks and. Jews have fought in the United . States to combat prejudice and'to ensure equal opportunity for all. That alliance should be strengthened. The threat against Jews because of a difference over Israel's policies is a reversion to the "hate by association" doctrine of McCarthyism. .

• Apart from that, we should not forget that many black African states abandoned Israel because of Arab oil blackmail, despite Israel's generous aid programs in the 195O's andl96P's.

The Organization of African States Is now led by a maniacal demagogue, Idi Amin of Uganda. Does Raspberry suggest that we should all turn against American blacks The establishment of Israel because of Amin's antics, or because of some of the genocldal wars that have been waged in in May, 1943, was regarded as the climax of that wish, and at Biafra, Burundi, Chad and other places? the outset Independence Day became a folk festival, marked by dancing snd singing. , Thereafter there were iong perfect faith in the eternity of the informative articles on and earnest debates as to the the Jewish Nation.

Prizes. A popular song festival has been discontinued because "authorities" ruled it lacked "culture".

Streets and' buildings are gaily decorated with flags and bunting. Nighttime lighting may be curtailed somewhat, , pursuant to the campaign to save electricity.

There Is one perennial frivolity — the widespread prevalence of small plastic,

springy hammers which carefree youth bounce gaily (and painlessly) on the head* of all passereby. It is a phenomenon devoid of all tense, yet perhaps it is an uncounsclous symbol of our freedom — a freedom to do at we wish in a kind of Purlinll&e carnival atmosphere.

The day preceding is marked as Memorial Day, in tribute to the boys who gave their lives in the wars. There Is a short pause after the period of mourning and prayers and cemetery visiting — followed by the explosion of gaiety and noise.

The public is still confused.

Our Independence Day should have elements of celebration, of prayer, of renewed selfdedication; of rejoicing and sorrow and' hope; of great pride and great humility. Yet they are. all contradictory.

Israel Independence Day has not yet established a definite character.

By Sam Lauber , wlthHlcbardPearl

I was 3 or 4 years old at the time and can today only recall, shadows of my life back then.

, Belgium was Occupied by the Nazis and my patents, out ..of'fear (dr.my'life, surren-. ;" dered metoa Christian family in LaLouviere, about 200 miles' from Antwerp, Living with -these.people they reasoned,

8am Lauber today.

Photo) • would give me >«Y natural cover, a safety I would not have otherwise.

I recall that one day my parents, Aron and Sarah Lauber, and my sister, Jewry Welder, brought me to a church in Brussels. I didn't, of course, know why—I could only sense something was going to happen

the family was well and we were convinced it-was besHo. emigrate to the United States.

We sailed on the Queen Elizabeth. I recall we were in Tourist Class; my father often took me to see the free ntovies and to tour the ship.

Sometimes the latter happened more by accident, because a few times we got lost and needed assistance in finding our cabin. ' I recall attending religious services conducted by a rabbi.

I often played "toss the rubber ring" and rolled one into the'' Atlantic. '"•• . .

The ship's elevators were frightening—they soared several levels In mere seconds while the ship was rocking. I ate, but, like my parents, had trouble with digestion.

Then the big day-April 12, 1948—and the sight of freedom approached—the glorious Statue of Liberty. We were all on deck to see here as we sailed into Manhattan harbor.

Throughout the trip, we got help from HIAS, the Jewish immigration service that arranged for and assisted in settling refugees In the U.S. When we landed, we were welcomed by family members' who later would help us settle In New York City for the next nine years.

I remember that I went to live on a farm somewhere and that I developed a friendship with a boy named Jean Marie, We played on the J a m and attended Catholic Mass; At night, I slept on the'top bunk—1 fell off once, but didn't gethurt. v rI never knew the difficulties my parents and sister were having as they struggled to survive In Brussels. All I remember was I deeply missed them. .

- ... ^The next recollection I nave Is that! was back in Brussels,

A $1,5 million borne for severely handicapped young adults, the first of iU kind in Israel, will be built adjacent to the Frieda Schiff Warburg Home for the Aged In Natanya, according to Ralph I. Goldman, executive viceclialnnan , of the Joint I' Distribution Committee.

Jean Marie, left, and Sam on the farm. d e c i d e d to w,rite to.

LaLouviere, Belgium, to see if I could find the family that had saved my life.

And so, last October, some 30 years later, I wrote down the recollections you've been reading. I sent the letters, plus photographs from back then, to the mayor of LaLouviere.

In light of the upcoming 1976^77 Jewish Welfare Federation budget hearings, we feel that due consideration. must be given to the quality of Jewish contact programming provided to University students, COMS students, and young adult singles through the- Drake Jewish Student Center.

The current 52 per cent intermarriage rate (nationally) emphasizes the critical importance of

age group.

Des Moines can be proud of their program's 25 per cent participation rate by Drake and COMS students when

nationally, similar programs receive approximately 10 per cent participation from their student populations. ' Services provided by the Jewish Student Center will lose their effectiveness without continuity of programming.

Sabbath evening dinners .and forums, Sunday brunches and deli suppers :• with speakers;' Saturday night Jewish' cultural encounters,: and the Joint weekend . retreat with Jewish students from., Iowa City, Grinnell, and Ames can only be maintained by present programming, funds and a. professional coordinator, seasoned by experience, and well-integrated in an effective working relationship with the already existing student program -committees; We urge your support of the maintenance of quality programming at the Jewish Student Center.

The T/Vhy'of Going to Camp

By Barbara Simon Come, say the rolling hills, come to Camp. Come, say the i caves, come explore me. Come to Camp. Come, say the whispering forests, come hide in me. Come to Camp. Come, say the frogs, slipping into the lake, come play. Come to Camp.,.

Come to Camp: around here, that means Camp Esther K. Newman near Louisville, Neb., open to children ag*s 8 to 15. It was dedicated in memory of a woman who had loved hiking and backpacking in her early years and who believed in camping's value to children. <The camp became reality back in 1962 after a site search committee headed by Chairman Ernie A. Nogg and CoChairman Elmer Gross, working with Paul veret, Omaha Federation executive director, established the site Gross : supervised the camp's completion. ; ' Because of Omahans' magnificent generosity, the Jewish , Federation slightly modified the 183-acre tract of wooded land '., and built 16 cabins, a lodge (dining hall and recreation hall), five covered play pavillions, two staff cabins, a health lodge, chapel, library and office. ' Also built, enhanced or Improved were a lake, athletic field, tennis courts, horse corral and entrance roads, biking trails and campfire areas.

This construction forms the camp today. And a wonderful placeitis! . : The camp is a fine mixture.of semi-rugged outdoor living and some of the comforts of home. For Instance, the campers • live in cabins and dine in a lovely hall equipped with an excellent kitchen. But they attend Friday evening and Saturday morning • Shabbat services outdoors on a beautiful wooded hillside, at a chapel set among the trees. The benches are rough-hewn logs and the Torah scrolls are housed in a rustic wood ark. It is a charming and Inspiring site. ', -.{That's what camp is. But there are several questions which Interest campers and their parents. For Instance...

• — Why go to camp at aU? Why a Jewish camp? And why Camp Newman in particular?

According to Bob Lltvak, who's heading into his fifth season as director of Esther K., camping in general offers unique growth experiences for children that they do not receive elsewhere. Especially, he says, going to camp offers life out-ofdoors, a real vacation away from the city and its traffic, television, telephones, plus the Usual school-year crush.

At Esther K., camping is a healthful experience with sunshine, fresh air, exercise, good food, stimulating activities—and time to rest. The emphasis is on all outdoor activities, especially exploring, hiking, caropcraft, boating, canoeing, horseback riding, swimming, naturecraft and camping out. In addition, the cajnp offers instruction in the usual team and individual sports, hesaid._ , • Bob feels strongly that Camp Newman's main business is. developing children who feel good about themselves, and that every activity is a tool to this end. lie encourages selfdevelopment and self-satisfaction, rather than competition.

The daily living at Camp Newman is designed to enhance each child's self-worth, he explains. The cabins are arranged in small groups. Each cabin has five to eight campers, living, 'sharing and experiencing together. They move through thenactivities as a group, and their cabin counselor moves with them. They plan their own activities, democratically picking and choosing to make their daily and weekly schedules. This dosegroupencouragesnewcboicesforchildren.

The group becomes responsible for itself and the campers for each other. They form a living group and each child contributes to and receives from this unique community of "strangers-into-friends." The friendships sometimes last for life..

Bob says his concern "is that each child participates to her or his fullest, that the child grows, that the camp provides a relaxed, encouraging, exciting place for a child to _do meaningful things-that we provide good experiences and enjoyment." .

Equally important toout-oMoor living snd self-development, Esther K. stresses Jewish experiences and values. It is a place, says Bob, "for young people to discover and affirnw>r re-affirm their identity as Jews. They,«xplore ideas, -history, thpir ripril.ag«.».anri thpy 1pj»rn .ahniir hcjng rorj «f-n.

collective" peoplehood with an amazing past, a vital present "and a futurfe of which they are a part!" , Being at Camp brings a young person many satisfactions! . physical, social, Intellectual and emotional.

Hk Well; kids have fun; they Ieam to know and enjoy nature and the out-of-doors, they Ieam to live, work and play together , in groups, to share responsibilities for the good of the group and the camp community, they acquire new skills, test new activities, do the. different, thrilling, fun things they cannot do in thacity.

FVeshak and friendship are part ol the life at Camp Newman.

Photo was taken at the Camp's chapel in the woods.

At Esther K., these things might be watching birds and starlit skies, dawns and sunsets, singing around campfires, catching butterflies arid fish, climbing, exploring caves and hiking through woods, listening to rain and wind on the cabin rooftop, cooking food on an open fire, sleeping under the sky, riding horses and paddling canoes.

Camp Esther K. Newman means fun out-of-doors; friends; a safe, healthy, special place for children; outstanding young adult counselors (more on that later); a place to stretch and grow emotionally and learn how to live in a group with responsibility and respect.

The second annual Beachwear Fashion Show was every bit as much fun as we had promised. The members modeling were absolutely lovely. And of course the children were their unpredictable selves.

A weekend at Howard Johnson's was the grand prize won by Mrs. Leon Alexander, As a favor all received perfume in a green velvet pouch, courtsey of Dorothy Gray Cosmetics compliments of Sam Paper. Ramp and room decorations compliments of Havers Mar-H. Any event such as this is impossible without the help of many people. We would like to thank all ladies on the committee for their hard work.

And of course, there would not be a fashion show if It were not for the cooperation of Barry Zoob-Zoobs and The palsy, Allan Muskin-Youngtown, Janelle-Janelle's and Patty Heaton-Swlmwear Unlimited.

These stores go to a lot of work and expense for our benefit.
