handy. Its branches are covered with salt, and at njght, the salt absorbs the moisture of the cool desert air. During the day, this stored water evaporates, providing a gentle, cooling effect for those who sit beneath its branches. It's easy to imagine our ancestors doing Just that as they wandered through ancient Canaan. In fact, In the Torahltsays (Genesis 21:33): Abraham planted a tamarisk at Beer-Sheeba. This Is the first record of a Hebrew planting a tree in the, Land of Israel, but certainly not the last.
The Jewish Press is planning a special supplement to run in late February in connection with the 30th anniversary of the Dr. Philip Sher Home for the Aged. Thel>ress office is now in the process of contacting advertisers to solicit their participation in this slmcha. < According to Morris Mallne, editor, any advertiser who is not contacted by telephone and who would like to be included, may call the Press office directly: 334-8200 ext.46.
The Time is Now Camp Esther K. Newman is in trouble. The Camp staff has been told to register an adequate number of children by Feb. 10 or be prepared to trim the summer program, : There is a sufficient number of children in the Omaha area to support the Camp. The Community recognizes that the Influence of Camp on the Jewish experience for Omaha area children has been extremely favorable. The Community has gone on record on many occasions to the effect that the Camp must continue. • However, the practice always has been to wait for the last minute before registration. That luxury no longer exists. There now is a deadline that will determine the future of the Camp. Sign up — or give up. The tune is now.

Hubert Humphrey 1911-1978 Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, ever thoughtful of the concerns of the Jewish people, is dead. Humphrey was a firm supporter and friend of Israel dating back to the time he was mayor of Minneapolis when Israel's birth was in question. • • -• His concern for the security of "this tiny democratic state in the Middle East," as he had referred to Israel, was translated both spiritually in the form of Inspired addresses as Senator and Vice President and also into effective action, particularly since 1973. As the Senate Democratic leader dealing with foreign aid, he had insisted that U.S. assistance be adequately provided to Israel sorely wounded by the YomKippurWar. Humphrey's defense of Zionism rose to a crescendo after the United Nations' General Assembly linked Zionism with racism. He declared that "the charge . . . is so manifestly absurd one's first reaction is not even to dignify the charge with substantive response..." In addition to his support of Israel, Humphrey worked closely with Jews on issues that he and the Jewish community were concerned with, such as civil rights, the need to end discrimination, help for the poor, providing jobs for the unemployed and numerous othersocial issues. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey is dead. His deeds live on.

— all day, but the students still find time to do a bit of community volunteer work to keep them in touch with reality. From time to time there are trips throughout the country, Shabbat retreats, meetings with leading contemporary thinkers. Almost every student this year has at least a bachelor's degree, some of them In the natural or exact sciences. Machon Pardes provides no academic credits. It offers no answers, but does provide guidance for those who are looking. There are two levels, beginner and more advanced, but some fair knowledge of
Hebrew is required, with opportunity to improve it here. The various courses of study include Tanach, Mlsbna, Halacha, Siddur, Maimonides, tefllla, Jewish social ethics, rabbinic thought, concepts of Galut. Modern sources include Rosenzweig, Buber, Soloveltchik—in short, an Intellectual feast for the intellectually discerning. -> They are an elite, these inquiring, inquisitive, dedicated young scholars. Further Information may be obtained from Machon Pardes, 10 Rehov Gad, Jerusalem.
Letters to the Editor To the Editor: I want to share with the readers of the Jewish Press a unique experience in which I recently participated. It was a religious and educational experience which left me greatly moved and inspired. I was asked by the Youth Commission of the Beth Israel Synagogue to accompany 30 Kadlmah SYO members to their mid-winter conclave which was held In St. Louis. I was happy to witness first hand the activities of our young people at their frequent regional gatherings. A p p r o x i m a t e l y 175 teenagers from the midwest region spent five days together in seminars, services, social and sports activities, and above all in ruach. Our youngsters participated in Bible contests, song and skit competition, and a host of other activities that left them greatly enriched in their Judaism. The high point of the conclave was spending a truly beautiful traditional Shabbat together, filled with learning prayer friendship, good food,
TO
and "feeling good about Ytddlshkelt." Our group came home with many honors and trophies. We took first place In song competition, first place In most Improved membership, second place In chapter newspaper, and second place In basketball. Our group also holds many regional offices, Bluma Karpman is first vice president; Sandy Stoller Is second vice president; Cathy Splfzer, is corresponding secretary; Danny; Renn is Parllmentarian. Plans were made at this conclave for the Leadership Training Seminar, which will be held in Ft. Wood-Rolla in March. Many of our SYOers hopetoattend. • Other SYO chapters of the region attending the conclave were from Des Molnes, Peoria, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Si. raid, Fi. Wood-Rolla and Kansas City. A deep interest In Judaism and Jewish practice was experienced at this conclave. An .intensive five day period of living Judaism as a group can have a profound effect upon teenagers' religious attitudes. For me the experience was truly a revelation which left me feeling much more confident about the future of our young people. Shirley Goodman

Serious accidents can occur when an antenna or any metal object contacts overhead power lines. That's why OPPD is urging CB operators who are building or planning a base unit operated from their home to be extremely careful. Building these towers under near power lines can be dangerous and even fatal. If you are putting up a tower or antenna, observe these rules: 1. Locate overhead power lines — every wire should be considered dangerous — remember they are not insulated. 2. Make sure there's more than enough clearance for carry* ing, raising or lowering the tower. Caution — It's easy to , misjudge this clearance. 3. E'ect the sntersns or tower far.srscugh away so that \\ wi!i rfot hit any power line if it fall's. If power lines are a possible hazard, call OPPD. In Omaha, 556-7800. We are interested in your safety.
