You provided the many necessities that helped to transform us from Russian immigrants to productive Americans.- Through your generosity and many kindnesses we have successfully adjusted to the American way of life and to the Jewish community. We have been happy in Omaha. Our roots in our adopted country will always be here and we are saddened at the prospect of leaving many dear friends, but a promising future in Bloomfield, New Jersey, awaits us, and we look forward to our new life and Its challenges. Only in America have we become free to make these kinds of decisions. It would be impossible to name everyone who befriended and helped us. We thank you'all!

terest to the censor. He insisted that the rule could not be broken, but he also dropped a hint to the effect that of course my wife was not subject to censorship. And so for a couple of years 'this column was signed - by "Mrs. Carl Alpert". Frankly, some readers never noticed the slight change in the byline, and I kept on as usual. But there were also some who the very next week stopped my wife on the street and congratulated her on her journalistic debut. "I could tell at once the difference between your style and that of your husband," they gushed. But that wasn't the beginning either. My weekly column of observations actually began in 1938 In the Jewish Advocate In Boston, and ran there for two years, or some 110 columns, under the heading of "I Think As I Please". However, to give myself absolute freedom in commenting on what I thought was wrong In that Jewish community, I signed It "Ben Mordecai", which made my father quite pleased. He kept my secret, which is now being revealed for the first time. Quite an iconoclastic devil be was, that
Ben Mordecai. If the reader will check back through the years, and count up the number of columns involved he will see that it runs to almost two thousand. Imagine that: writing on a different subject every week, and trying to keep it Interesting, perhaps not always with uniform success. In 1952 we moved to Israel and since then I have dealt almost exclusively with life and problems here. I have enjoyed making these periodic reporU to the readers of The Jewish Press. I'm sure,you won't mind if I tell you that I report, In all, to about 40 papers in the United States, Canada, Mexico," Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Venezuela, Australia, South Africa, Greece, England and Belgium — and in the languages of those respective countries. I write in English, and the text is locally translated. My favorite game, when I get the weekly Jewish Review from Athens, is to try to figure out from the Greek text which col-' umn it is they are using this weekl I don't always succeed. And so this concludes Number One thousand of the third series. Next week I begin the fourth series, starting at Number One again.

Save money on summer cooling
Old Timers' Review By Art Grossman The word "provost" Is defined, in one instance, as a person of importance. This definitely befits the surname of the Old Timers, May 30, guest speaker, Wally Provost, Omaha World-Herald sports columnist. Mr. Provost's column has long provided evidence of the gentleman's journalistic talents. Moving away from his sports writing norm he recently compiled a series of articles, appearing in the WorldHerald, narrating his experiences while visiting Israel and Egypt a few months ago. His talk dwelt further on his observations while touring the two countries. Time is working furiously against Israel according to Mr. Provost. Every day marking no progress toward a peace settlement is a day working In favor of Arab hardliners. ' Unless Anwar Sadat can break the unrelenting deadlock with Israel soon, and spell out a just peace for all con-
cerned in the Middle East, his position as leader of the socalled moderate .Arabs becomes more and more untenable. Mr. Provost said Yasslr Arafat, supposedly a moderate leader, is having difficulties restraining the ultraradlcal element of the PLO. Waiting in the wings of this crucial drama is Dr. George Habash, a Christian Arab, who openly has boasted it was he and his followers who inveighed Japanese thugs to shoot up Tel Aviv Airport with devastating results. If, Arafat loses out, Habash may well be elevated to head the PLO. As Is apparent, Mr» Provost did not come to deliver a flamboyant speech as to how bounUful life is In Israel today. He was explicit In pointing out the present negative aspects of Israel's position. Israel is criticized for her amiable relationship with South Africa. With so many enemies aligned against her can any fair-minded person truly fault Israel for accepting
Father's Day gifts of unusual and traditional excellence.
With hot weather comes air conditioning and a greater use of electricity. This means electric service bills, like the temperature, will probably be higher in the summer. But by following these eight hot tips, you can save col^ cash on summer cooling. Draw blinds, shades, or drapes to keep out the hot sun. Light-colored drapes are better for reflecting heat.
Don't add heat to your home; Turn off lights, TVs, and radios not being used.
friendship with any nation so inclined. Mr. Provost asked where Is Israel supposed to get help. Not from the Vatican which has been critical of Israel's attitude toward PLO claims. Not from the United Nations where Arab and Communistic nations have a working majority. And obviously not from UN Secretary-General Kurt Waldhelm who had the audacity to criticize Israel's Entebbe raid as an affront against a member state, Uganda, In this country the U.S. Corps of Engineers Is aiding Saudi Arabia la public work* projects- including construction of air bases and other military installations. While Israel agonizes with financial burdens oil-wealthy Arab countries have $50 billion in U.S. banks and stalwart Americans such as Bert Lance, Splro Agnew and former Senator 3. WUMain.Ftilbright are busily operating on behalf of Arab interests so they can accumulate even more wealth. One of Israel's most severe problems is that of demographics, said Mr. Provost. The Arab birth rate is more than twice that of the Jewish population's. Israel needs people and the logical source is that of Jews residing In Russia. But Russia tightens the strings of the lives of those wishing to emigrate to Israel. Shirley Goldstein did the honors In introducing Mr. Provost to our members.

VOUR SATISFACTION IS OUR BEST RECOMMENDATION
Insulate your attic and be sure that it's ventilated to prevent excessive heat build-up.
Awnings over sunny windows reduce heat penetration by 50-75%. Or consider shade screens-
i ^
Shade the cooling unit itself. But, don't interfere with air intake or exhaust.
Use an exhaust fan in the bathroom while bathing, kitchen while cooking — removes warm, moist air.
