The Dr. Philip Sher Home, an intermediate care facility, it filled to capacity, with a waiting list, a further indication that "there is much to be done In all facets relative to the aged," Goldstein stressed. Looking forward to a highly
successful 1977 Philanthropies campaign spearheaded by "young agresslve leadership"^ the persons of Murray Newman, Marlene Hechtman and Mickey Sturm, Goldstein said "we are our brother's keeper, wherever Jews are." . Lou Solomon, Federation director, noted that the annual meeting is a time to review the past year's' accomplishments

Abu Daoud's release touched off widespread expressions of outrage in the American media. _ "Terror not answerable to law is answerable to nothing," editorialized The Washington Star (Jan. 12). "The French retreat has mocked international sanctions against terrorism; only the rhetoric remains." The Detroit News (Jan. 12) was incredulous that the French could forget Entebbe (which, • Ironically, involved an Air France plane) and think only of oil. "Henceforth, those who drink French wines may do so in the certain knowledge that they raise a toast to terrorism." France's "shabby legal circumlocution and evasion . . . has encouraged the forces of fanaticism and undermined the moral , strength of democracy," claimed The New 1 York Post (Jan. 12).

"The Freaeh govemjser.t sfcrced - . . . bow low it is willing to bow to international terrorism," wrote The Chicago Sun Times (Jan. 13), for France favors "groveling rather than greatness hi international diplomacy:" The Kansas City Times (Jan. 13) Insisted t h a t " . . . not enough can be said of the cowardice and stupidity of the French decision."

OMAHA — Two national speakers wfao were In Omaha in the last weeks (or Women's Division activities, Ruth Lack and Judy Goldenberg, reminded us of some moving (acts concerning why Jews give. Mentioning the Jewish Community Center, Omaha Federation subsidy to all Omaha synagogue religious schools, and the Dr. Sher Home (or the Aged, Mrs. Goldenberg said, "Remember, Philanthropies giving Is nof charity — it's us! Every one of us or our children or relatives benefit from the money we donate to Philanthropies." • RUth Lack said, "Never forget, we 6 million American Jews are Just lucky accidents. If our fathers or grandfathers hadn't gotten that boat from Russia or Lithuania or Hungary, we might be one of the Soviet Jewish families needing money today from the Omaha Jewish Federation, or we might be one of the 3 million Israelis struggling with a 30 per cent Increase on goods, and one of the highest tax rates in the world. Because their dollars go largely for war materials, our dollars to them must pay, for their desperately needed social services - old age homes, schools, bouses, day care centers, hospitals. THEY COULD BE US, No one else cares about them. Israel has only Jews to care. We're all in the same boat."

The biggest losses were in the big cities. BBYO dropped In membership from 42,000 in 1967 to 29,000 in 1975. It seems to be stabilizing at about 30,000 now in North America, according to Jeb.

JFS Board Makes Report
JFS Chairman Jack Saferstein reviewed, the 1977 budget allocations from the United Way and the Federation. The budget will allow JFS to proceed'with some expansion of program, including the hiring of another full time professional social worker, Safersteln noted. Bob Lovett, JFS director, suggested that the new professional staff person be a geriatric specialist. "Meeting the needs of the aging Jewish population is one of our greatest challenges," Lovett said, "The new staffer to be hired in July, will work closely with existing programs at the JCC as a consultant to the Dr. Sher home, as counselor to the elderly and as resource coordinator for the pre-retlrement family life education program," Lovett added. Luveii placed particular emphasis' on the need to e x - , pand services to families, troubled marriages and young. people. Board members agreed that this was an area that had been lacking in services, adding that the Jewish community should be Informed of the current availability of these counseling services.
