Calendar of Jewish Events
World News Briefs Ford Affirms NEW YORK (JTA) - T h e Ford Motor Company has assured the American Jewish Congress that it will "continue doing business in Israel" and will refuse to certify the Arab boycott status of its suppliers, despite company plans for a Joint venture In Egypt to build engines and assemble trucks . and tractors. As a result,-the AJ Congress has withdrawn a resolution calling for disclosure of company policy toward the Arab boycott that would have been presented at the annual shareholder meeting of the Ford Motor Co. in Detroit last Thursday. The assurances were contained in a letter from Henry Ford II to Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg, president of the AJ Congress, which was made public Thursday. In his letter, Ford noted mat in 1966, despite repeated Arab requests to the contrary, Ford Motor Co. authorized the Palestine Automobile Corporation in Israel to assemble and distribute certain Ford vehicles In that country. As a result of that action, Ford was placed on the Arab boycott list where It remains to this day.

So you would think Sam Z. would be grateful, hah? So you'd think he would come already to the meeting, hah? Zei nisht a naar- Sam couldn't wait to turn the chair over to Earl Slegel (who is well-known in some Omaha circles) and Sam was absent! He thinks maybe we don't know how to vote without him, hah? So Sam had to work at the polls, hah? So alright, already, Shmuel - come home, all Is forgiven. You did your patriotic duty! Max Glvot waited years to visit Eretz Yisroel - so what happens? He gets sick right in the middle - phooeyl Better luck next time, Maxl, and zel gezuntlAnd Bennet Cohen, who told you to get sick? Glad you're back, though, Belnlsh. 110 of us heard the personable Dick Hiller tell of the ongoing needs of Israel - how much they need our financial as well as moral support. And then the estimable Leo Meyerson reminded that Jews right here in Omaha can also use such help. Men, we have to dig deep and help those Jews who are less fortunate. No one's asking you to give until it hurts, but a little bit, it won't hurt you to feel! And incidentally, if you want to earn a mJtzvah by soliciting contributions, you'll be doing all of us a great favor. . About our luncheon — 18 men failed to make reservations and thus 18 men didn't

About Camp Newman's Counselors By Barbara Simon The key to a child's success and enjoyment at Camp Esther K. Newman, says Camp Director Bob LJtvak, Is the quality of the counselors chosen to live and play with the children. At Esther K., some of the finest young adults in the midwest and eftewhere are selected through rigorous screening, he says. Supporting that statement is E. Robert (Bob) Newman, a former Federation Camp Committee chairman (1969-74), who says he has known many camps throughout Wisconsin and Vermont over the years and that none have "finer staff counselors" than those chosen for Camp Newman. Each senior counselor must have completed his freshman year in college; must have had camp or educational experience In leading children or adults; must have excellent references; asd must have a genuine "feel" for the "speclalness" and growth possibilities of children, according to Lltvak, Additionally, he said, the counselor must appreciate his or her ability to Influence, promote, encourage, build, nurture, Impart values and provide firm, yet loving discipline. In Bob's words, "A counselor is a substitute parent, teacher, big brother or sister and a friend, all rolled into one—the young adults we choose must be able to fill these roles, which are very demanding." To Bob Lltvak, Camp Newman means fun out of doors, friends, a safe, healthy, special place for children; outstanding young adult counselors; a place to stretch and grow emotionally and to learn now to live in a group, with responsibility and respect.

Omahans in the News The third Joint report meeting for the men's and women's divisions in the Fontenelle Forest Guild's • family membership drive is scheduled for 5 p.m. Monday, May 24, at the First National Bank downtown, according to Howard J. Kaslow, Guild president. Seven of the more than 12 Jewish Omahans who entered the May 11 primary election won their races. The seventh is Jack Noodell, who apparently secured one of the two nominations for the November election In Educational Service Unit No. 3, Douglas County, only this week when absentee and disabled ballots were counted.
Noodell is seeking a second term. Omaha Mayor Ed Zorinsky won the Democratic primary in the race for the U.S. Senate; Democrat Richard Fellman will be one of four candidates seeking two Douglas County commissioners' seats; Neil Simon is one of two nominees In the 31st District's State Legislature race; Julius I, Novak will be one of four primary winners seeking two Metropolitan Utilities District seats; Muni Waldbaum is one of two seeking the 2nd District seat on the State Board of Education and incumbent Irvin Yaffe won an unprecedented fourth consecutive term on the District 66 school board, of which he is currently president.
Among those not winning in the primary were Robert Blank, MUD candidate; Richard Blank, Omaha Public Power District candidate; Steven E. Shovers, Subdistrict 8, Omaha School Board; Henry L. Stem, 3rd District, Metro Tech Community College board; and Shirley Goldstein, who sought election as a delegate committed to Sen. Henry Jackson in the Presidential primary.

install an electric heat pump Now the sun's energy can be tapped to help you heat your home. You see, even on the coldest Nebraska day, the outside air contains some heat from the sun. A heat pump utiliies this heat, transferring it into your home. On especially cold days, supplemental electric heaters come on when needed to keep you warm and comfortable. What about efficiency? Throughout the heating season in this area, the heat pump furnishes XVt units of heat for each unit of electric energy it consumes. That's 160% efficiency. COOLS IN SUMMER
On hot summer days, the electric heat pump reverses. It takes heat out of your, rooms and
moves it outside your home. It can reverse automatically from heating to cooling, so you always have comfortable temperatures, even on days that start out chilly and end up warm If you are replacing your present heating system or building a new home, investigate the electric heat pump. It's the most efficient enemy management machine available for heating and cooling your home. The heat pump is only one type of electric heating system. Others are: electric furnace, ceiling cable, electric baseboard units, and electric hydronic boilers. Call your healing contractor or your OPPD office. In Omaha. 636-4310.

The Olympics (Continued from Page 11) In Munich, the warning of the 1936 Berlin Games and the Jesse Owens incident came to its logical conclusion: Racism and politics violated the very purpose and meaning of Olympic traditions, destroyed tbe s p i r i t of p e a c e , brotherhood and sportsmanship inherent in the Olympic Oath. At the World University Games in Moscow in 1973, tbe Soviet government barred South Korean and Israeli newsmen from covering the Games. Armed, uniformed Red Army soldiers destroyed Israeli Hags in the spectator stands. Ireland's Lord Kilanin, chairman of tbe International Olympic Committee, stated that such actions could very well destroy Moscow's chances of hosting the I960 Olympics. In tbe 1974 Asian Games In Teheran, Chinese and North Korean fencers (ailed to ap-
pear for scheduled competitions with Israelis, said a Kuwaiti tennis player didn't «h"y i f for hi* match «gitn«t an Israeli. Tbe basketball team of Pakistan abandoned tbe court minutes before their game with their Israeli competitors was to begin. (Pakistan is scheduled to host the Asian Games In 1978). Chinese silver and bronze winners refused to shake hands with Israeli gold medalists Orit Abramovttz and Esther ShachamurovRoth. • Last year, India — obviously in a bid to please oilrich Arab countries—refused to grant visas to the Israeli and South African teams, thus preventing their participation in tbe World Table Tennis Championship in Calcutta. Next: tbe mounting tension among participants and sports enthusiasts In Israel as tbe Montreal Olympics draw near.
