Louis Friedman Celebrates 80th Birthday on April 15
Vocal Group Playing For Birthday Party By Gloria Wagner The Jewish Community Center has planned a celebration In honor of the 32nd anniversary of the state of Israel. April 22, Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. Is the date and time selected for this performance. The Cultural Arts Department was able to secure the services of a top vocal group of Israel; Sharti Lach Artzi began as an award winning television series. Translation of Sharti Lach Artzi is I Sang for Thee, My Country, and is the story of the Jewish settling of Eretz Israel from 1850 to the present. Sharti has revived interest among younger Israelis in the history of Israel and in the nostalgic songs of the Jewish past. . The four stars of Sharti are: Nurlt Galron, actress and singer, who has toured in Eu-
tion to the Monday night classes which have been held for the past 10 years, spring and fall seasons, through the School of Jewish Studies of the Jewish Cultural Arts Council. Jewish music, Yiddishkelt (speaking and films),' coffees and luncheons for study with the rabbis, Jewish cooking, finding your Omaha Jewish roots through bus tours of the city, beginning Hebrew, book discussions and other subjects will be included In the classes. Several of the classes will meet for a "mini-series" of three times, others for only two, and one-time lectures on subjects of timely interest will be presented in the "koffeeklatch" setting.

Several of his stories sound as If they belong on the motion picture screen. Just picture, for example, a young Russian boy studying with a melamud In the town of Schederin, some 120 miles from Minsk. He later became a clerk in a timber office run by his relatives. Although he tried to avoid being conscripted into the Russian army In 1917, he was caught and forced to become a soldier. "They didn't give us much training, just a gun and marched us to the front lines. I remember crawling on my stomach, responding to my commander's cry of 'charge', and then severe pain in my elbow . . . I was shot. Later, I discovered that bullet holes also had riddled my . back pack, and I realized how lucky I was to be alive." "We hated that whole bunch of Bolsheviks so much that one Christmas eve when we thought they all would be drunk, my wife and I hired a guard to guide us the 20 miles to the Latvian border. "When walking through a barren area in deep snow, we were.caught and taken to a farm house. Luckily, my wife

From Latvia, the couple went to Germany, and like so many thousands of others finally passed through the gates to a free country via Ellis«Island in New York City. "The day after we arrived in Omaha, I bought a pair of overalls for 59 cents and took a bus to the Swift meat packing plant, I didn't speak English, but I was able to ask for a job In Yiddish to a German speaking foreman who understood me and hired me.

When the day comes that Mr. Friedman actually writes his book, it would be Interesting to find out what kind of life his twin brother has experienced in Russia all these years. "I hear about him and my sister who also is still in Russia. I send them money, and my brother in New York goes to visit them, but I still hate those Bolsheviks and I won't go back there." Meanwhile, the Louis Friedman endowment is here in Omaha and friends who want to contribute to the fund in Mr. Friedman's honor are welcome to do so.

Campaign Dinner Offers Opportunity For Jewish Community Participation By Ellen Gordman and Amy Friedman Experts are calling the years of the 1980's a decade of change. Changes in the Omaha Jewish community are apparent as the Men's Federation Campaign rolls into high gear. It is evident that the responsibility must shift to a new generation who will be entrusted with the continuation of our Jewish community. "I am pleased because we have new people involved," said Joe Kirshenbaum, president of the Jewish Federation "We have always raised money in this community with a very narrow base like an inverted pyramid. Now we are broadening the base of the pyramid by enlarging the scope of our solicitation through the Men's Invitational Dinner, April 20. I've looked over the names on the reservation list. Many of the peopleplanning to attend have pledged money before, but don't participate in communal activities." Jim Farber, chairmen of the 1980 Federation Campaign and Joe Kirshenbaum spoke with Omaha rabbis at a briefIng on March 25. The meeting was designed to Inform the rabbis of the plans for the 1980 Campaign and lo ask for their

help. The response of the rabbis to the Men's Invitational Dinner was positive. Rabbi Sidney Brooks of Temple Israel said that he is hopeful about the success of the dinner. He thinks that the social and economic revolution of the coming years will benefit the efforts of the Jewish community to remain viable.
Rabbi Kenneth Bromberg said, "we talk about Israel's right to exist only In terms of an ongoing political struggle. The menacing fact Is that triple-digit inflation Is, at the present time, an even more serious threat to Isreal's existence than any combination of military and political factors.
"There will be a lot of adjustments on the part of family, Individuals, community and synagogues. Everyone will be reassessing their values of time and money. I think that will benefit the Federation Campaign," Rabbi Brooks said.

The Arab World The Arab World — in the form of an impressive academic symposium — soon will be on the doorstep of the Jewish Communities of Lincoln and Omaha. The two-day symposium will take place April 10 on the campus of Doane College, Crete, a short drive from Lincoln, and on Friday, April 11, at the Governor's House and the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery, both in Lincoln. Representatives from this newspaper and from the Federation's ADL/CRC committee plan to attend the symposium as interested observers. We are interested in learning more about the heritage, philosophy, cultural, political and social background of the Arab World. We hope that the symposium will be a constructive, educational, experience and we look forward to it with an open mind and a healthy attitude.
ouriinan ill israel by C a r l Alpcrl
Irresponsible Joyrnalism HAIFA — The public information media in Israel have gone wild. In the misguided belief that the public has to be told everything, even if confidences are betrayed and delicate discussions are exposed to pitiless publicity, ambitious reporters have also managed to seduce leading political personalities into revealing secrets from the inner chambers of the Government. The morning after a closed meeting of the Cabinet the papers are filled not only with reports of what went on, but even with word-for-word transcriptions of who said what. Sessions of the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee of the Knesset, where representatives of all the major parties hear state secrets, are likewise exposed to all the world within hours of the meeting. There should be nothing but scorn and contempt for the prln-

cipals involved, who presumably barter their information for public relations favors on other occasions, but even those who hasten to leak their secrets would get nowhere were there not a grasping group of journalists, ready to pay, who provide the market for the wares. The eager fence Is no less guilty than the thief. And when accurate or authentic Information Is not Immediately available, the Israel media do not hesitate to rush into' print or put on the air unverified stories whose publication often sets off a chain reaction that frequently causes enormous harm to the national welfare. The examples are legion. One Influential Israel daily published a scarehead story under the heading "The Beginning of the End of the Rothschild Connection," which purported to show that the famous family was liquidating Its interests In the country. "There Is no truth whatsoever In that headline . . . in fact the reverse Is the case" said Lord James Rothschild angrily. President Yitzhak Novon tried to smooth over the incident by commenting that "sometimes Israel newspapers unfortunately print things which we afterwards have to work hard to refute." In another case a distorted radio report that El Al was going to dress its hostesses in "tight gowns" elicited an Indignant outburst from the Histadrut and an angry reaction from airline personnel who resented being used as "sex objects" as implied in the broadcast. As it turned out, nobody who Issued the hot news had even seen the gowns, and a picture published the following day showed a tasteful, dignified, conservative gown. But harm had been done and tempers had flared needlessly, and a new crisis for El Al had almost been created. Damage of another kind was done recently in connection with activity in Judea and Samaria. Admittedly there are some differences of opinion in Israel with respect to autonomy and settlements in that area, and those who differ from present government policy seem prepared to go to any lengths to embarrass the administration. For many decades large areas of Arabowned land have been legitimately purchased from Arabs. The role of the Jewish National Fund in such land purchase had become a matter of national patriotic pride and achievement. Similar purchases have been quietly taking place in parts of the West Bank as well, but in their efforts to make a political point, independent-minded journalists of both press and television recently turned a bright spotlight on such land deals. In the glare of publicity, many Arabs who might have been willing to make legal sale of their lands for a price, are now backing off. If the press of the country had been more sophisticated fifty years ago and more obsessed with the need to make startling revelations, it might well have been that the Emek, and Haifa Bay, and other large areas of Israel might never have been bought. But — anything for a headline, no matter what the harm! President Navon has been disturbed by the role played by the media in spreading tales of gloom. Almost half a year ago he charged that press, television and radio in Israel seem to accent the negative, since this is "attractive and exciting, while the positive seems gray and dull." For the same reason, foreign correspondents here are quick to pounce on every scandal, every flaw, every expose that the local media uncover, and in a matter of hours the stories are on the wires, and blazoned in the headlines of the world press. Surely there ought to be a little more sense of responsibility on the part of local editors and reporters, including those who utilize the state-owned radio and television to propagate their personal, partisan views, all In the name of "journalistic freedom." There was a time when this sort of thing was the monopoly of only one or two weekly scandal-mongering magazines. Today it has become a national sickness.

Include PLO withdrawal to secure and recognized boundaries and mutual recognition by Israel and the neighboring states. The addition would be designed to accept in unequivocal terms "the rights of the Palestinian people." The second and more Important part would be to convene a new international conference. In order to deprive the Soviet Union of its role of cochairman at a reconvened Geneva conference, an alternative setting would be sought. Britain's chief motive for launching a new initiative is to capitalize on the strong antiSoviet mood sweeping the Moslem and Arab world following Moscow's intervention in Afghanistan. Since this is also an American objective, it is assumed here that the U.S. would not be adverse to Britain and other European states giving their assistance over the Palestinian question.

LONDON (JTA) - Britain believes the current talks on Palestinian autonomy between Israel, Egypt and the United States will fail and it may launch its own Middle East initiative before May 2G, the deadline for the tripartite talks under the Camp David agreement. The new Initiative, for which Britain would seek maximum support from other West European countries, would open the door to participation by the Palestine Liberation Organization In the peace process. Foreign Office experts are believed to be drawing up a formula for simultaneous mutual recognition by Israel and the Palestinians. According to the Daily Telegraph, Britain is floating a two part proposal among its European allies.

This is another American request made during Neeman's recent visit to Washington which c a u s e d d i s agreement between the two sides on what steps should be taken to restore health to Israeli economy. y At the same i has h been b kknown that time, it
treasury forecasts indicate a $500 million drop in Israeli reserves to $2.07 billion by the end of the year. Also predicted are an $800 million increase in the balance-of-payment deficit and growth of the foreign debt to $16.8 billion. Neeman added that the Americans are watching Israel's economic situation very closely. The U.S. expressed approval at the treasury's budget cuts, he said, but proposed even larger reductions in public spending and advocated a recessionary policy.
As the Hasldic movement developed in Eastern Europe In the 18th and 19th centuries, different groups of Hasidlm gathered around a leader, a learned rabbi whom they canned their "Rebbe." These Hasldim worshipped God in song and dance. Opposed to them were Jews called Mitnagdlm (literally, opponents) who worshiped God in serious prayer and study. One of the famous leaders of the Mitnagdlm was the great scholar, der Vllner Goan (the sage of Vilna). Following is a "true" tale from those exciting days of yesteryear. In the holy village of Lubuveg, there lived a great Hasldic master known as the Lubuveg Rebbe or, as he was affectionately called by his Hasidim, the Vege Rebbe. He was known for his love of vegetables. He was known to say that God created ail vegetables equal. Still, it was rumored that he had told his closest disciples that potoates and onions had the holiest sparks, especially if they were sprinkled with garlic. The Rebbe's beloved disciple, Yossel Sprout, would feed the Rebbe potatoes with garlic three times a year! The Rebbe's wisdom spread far and wide. He and his followers only ate vegetables, of course. Soon, the poor and un-
educated Jews of Galicia flocked to Lubuveg to sit at the Rebbe's table and eat from the crumbs of his leftover vegetables. "Besides," they said, "with today's prices, who can afford meat?" However, there were those sages who opposed the Rebbe's teachings. They were known as the meat-nagdim and their great scholarly leader was the Bone from Vllna, or commonly known as the Vilnabone. The Vilnabone even decided to excommunicate the Lubuveg Rebbe I One day, the town schochet (ritual slaughterer) came to the Rebbe and tearfully told how the Rebbe's teachings had reduced him to poverty. No one would now come to him to have their chickens or cows slaughtered and he and his five children were starving. As the schochet told his story, the Rebbe and his beloved disciples wept, and everyone wondered how the Rebbe would reply. Finally, the Rebbe said, "Heaven has heard your plea; your livelihood will be restored to you." Everyone was shocked. Could this mean the Rebbe was going to sanction, heaven forbid, the slaughter of meat? But the Rebbe continued. "From now on, before anyone in Lubuveg eats a vegetable, he must bring it to the schoihet to be slaughtered; only ten will it be Kosher! And so vas.

B'NAI B'RITH WOMEN By Betty Goldstron Past President Some weeks ago, B'nal B'rith Women of Omaha were privileged to be in .the company of two vital young women, of the Gateway Regional office of B'nai B'rith Women. Joan Kort and Robyn Winner were not only articulate and knowledgeable, but also the manner in which they presented different types of information was unique and pleasurable. A catered lunch, hosted by the active past presidents of B'nal B'rith Women was enjoyed by all who attended. New members and life members were honored at this time. Baby sitter service was provided so that young mothers could enjoy the afternoon also. In the evening we gathered again for more discussion and an opportunity to bring forth new ideas and thoughts, suggestions etc. The following morning with all Its snow did not prevent our women from attending an open board meetIng, with more lively discussions. One of the debates was on which of the B'nal B'rith projects Is most important. Naturally the Anti-Defamation League which keeps our Jewish people free of trouble in our country and internationally, was brought forward immediately. Our Youth Programs held a strong place In the debate, what with our A.Z.A. and B.B.G.'s, also HUlel which are so meaningful for our young people. Then too our Jewish Home for Children In Israel,
and our varied local programs such as operation stork. Another important project brought to light was our Israeli-Arab Relations program in Israel. We cannot forget our Veterans' program, those brave men who gave so much so that we could be free. We must keep in mind also the fact that some of B'nal B'rith's projects are non sectarian which does much to create and cement good will among all people. The entire two days lent themselves for a more enriching, viable and vital part of our Jewish women's lives in Omaha. We would be remiss if we did not say our most grateful thanks to our outgoing president, Florence Schneider and a host of terrific women too numerous to list. Florence not only has guided us, but has put her fine mind and shoulder to the tasks at hand, she also has been an inspiration and dynamic force In our ongoing organization.

The Young Women's Division is a symbol of renewal of enthusiasm for Jewish Life. This year, 40 leaders join together in working on Campaign. This year a new excitement stirs as an old age tradition is maintained. The generations are being bridged figuratively and actually. Mothers work for the sake of their children — and their children, just as their mothers did for them for 4000 years of Jewish history. These young women continue to meet the challenge with a new enthusiasm that inspires us all.

(A reflection of the Jewish Press—the only newspaper of its kind for several hundred miles in every direclion. Truly a rare medium.) The Early Bird discussion was hosted by Morrle Katz and he kept the audience in stitches with his pot pourri of Jokes, stories, anecdotes on just about every subject even sex. From the way the Early Birds chirped in you could tell that no feathers were ruffled.

Senior Citizens Scene By Helen Newman "The Haggadah Is one of the greatest examples of art." These were some of the opening words, as Rabbi Jonathan Rosenbaum spoke to the capacity-filled auditorium at the JCC on March 24 when the Older Adults held their prePassover lunch — a "Model" Seder. Rabbi Rosenbaum went through the outline of a Seder, beginning with the preparation through the closing, singing and reciting of the "Had Gadya", when the audience Joined in. He brought to attention the joys and sorrows which the festival portrays. He spoke of the "right to enjoy legitimate pleasure"; the significance of the Seder plate — the remembrance of the past and the meaning of freedom today — as well as the participation of children In this occasion. The members of the Older Adult group wish to extend their sincere thanks and best wishes to Rabbi Rosenbaum. ; It was a very Impressive setting, as one entered the room where the "Model" Seder was held. Lovely flowers (later given to a lucky one at each table); the Seder plate, which was prepared by Annette Fettman and, of course, the Matzos and wine graced the tables. The meal Included the traditional Passover foods, dellclously prepared and served. \. Mollle Delman arranged v'thls festive event and was as•• stated by many volunteers.

Russian Roulette By Susie Tretlak What is it about someone that is indicative of their not being native Americans? Perhaps it is their not so perfect English — or maybe their mode of dress is not "in the know," or maybe Just their mannerisms give them away. But when someone admits they've never heard the terms "Burger King," "McDonalds" or "Kentucky Fried Chicken" you can be certain that they were not born and raised here. How do you explain what a fast food restaurant is? "You know — the Golden Arches?" . . . "What?" "You know — places where you order food, bring it home in sacks and boxes. Food full of grease and salt that's unbelievably good!" . . . "Non, comprendez." Oh well, Sofy and David Berman are just those Russians who had never heard of this type of eating. They are used to the "slow foods" prepared in Sofy's own kitchen. Why all this talk about food? Sofy is one' of the "chief cooks and bottle washers" up at Burke High School. Naturally our talk revolved around our taste buds. Sofy was a cook In a cafeteria when she lived in Russia. Up at Burke, she deals more with the cleaning, serving chores rather than the actual food preparation. She really enJoys her work, but would prefer to be "chief chef." Sofy likes being around the young students. She said that many times they'll ask what the menu Is or somthlng in reference to the food. Not having perfect English, Sofy Is apt to repeat her answer a dozen times, and while the food turns cold and the lunch line experiences a backup, Sofy tries to make herself understood. Otherwise her job runs very smoothly. Sofy remarks at the casual appearance of all the students. In Russia all the students dress neatly in uniforms everyday.

Solution of Palestinian Problem Not Key to Middle East Stability ByAlonBeo-Melr St. Louis, MO. Although the Afghan and Iranian crises have overshadowed the autonomy negotiations, the Palestinian question remains widely discussed, and many Arab circles continue to press for a speedy resolution of this Issue. Contrary to official statements emanating from the State Department and the White House, the developments in Afghanistan have had a direct bearing on the Arab-Israeli conflict, particularly on the autonomy issue. The rise of Arab militancy In Iran, and Russian intervention in Afghanistan have introduced an entirely new dimension into the Arab-Israeli conflict. Political observers close to Prime Minister Begin and President Sadat confirm that both leaders have re-assessed their bilateral relations, and have begun to consider ways by which both Israel and Egypt can cooperate in the face of political uncertainties generated by the Afghan crisis. Although the success or failure of the autonomy negotiations may not solely depend on the developments in Afghanistan and Iran, one aspect remains clear: the Middle East and south-central Asia will continue to be extremely volatile regions, regardless of how and when the Palestinian question is equitably and finally resolved. Contrary to the views held by various Saudi, Jordanian, Syrian, and Egyptian officials, the Palestinian problem and resolution will not end the general strife which has plagued the Middle East since 1948. Several factors that neither the superpowers nor the Individual states involved control contribute to the region's political instability, either directly or Indirectly. First, although the lack of mechanisms to ensure legitimate and peaceful succession to power continues to plague many Muslim countries, the advent of Islamic militancy in Iran further undermines the relative political stability that some states (Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and the United Emirates) currently enjoy. Moreover, this situation is further complicated by the fact that many recent boundaries in the Mid-East were drawn arbitrarily by colonial powers without giving due consideration to the interests or the aspirations of the ethnic groups involved (for example, the Kurds In Syria, Iraq, Turkey, and Iran, as well as the Baluchi In Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan). Second, the Soviet Union will continue to exploit political weakness and instability and will not hesitate to deploy its forces selectively either to consolidate Its grip on Its client states or to establish new strongholds. The Baluchi, who seek a "Baluchistan" with political autonomy from Pakistan, may very well be the next targets of Soviet aggression. Finally, Arab radicalism will continue to add fuel to the fire by turning hosltillty and blind nationalism not only against Israel, but also against those Arab brothers viewed as "reactionaries." Regimes such as those in Saudi Arqbla and Jordan agree. It is patent, given the evidence, that the Middle East and southwest Asia are far from reaching even a semblance of political stability. Afghanistan and Iran demonstrate the futility in attempting to make the Palestinian Issue the key to regional stability, a position which some Arab leaders and State Department officials have persistently advocated. Internal combustion in Pakistan may resume soon; India is at a crossroads that could lead to renewed hostilities between It and Pakistan; and the Kurds in northern Iraq, western Iran, and southern Turkey may soon again take up their push for Independence. Finally, the ailing Ayotollah Khomeini's misdirected hatred of the U.S. threatens Iran's very security by tempting Interference from the north. Many "political experts" who claim that the answer to the Middle East lies with Palestinian statehood or self-determination are politically naive. Their reasoning does not serve the interests of any of the parties involved, particularly the Palestinians. It must be re-emphasized that the Palestinian problem may take five or ten years to resolve. During this period, the various Palestinian factors will have to sort themselves out and will have the opportunity to demonstrate their moderation and acceptance of Israel. Only then can Israel be expected to reciprocate without fearing serious repercussions. As long as the Middle East remains volatile and many forces continue to work against each other, distrust among the

parties involved will persist and no clear-cut solution will be reached. * No one questions that the Palestinians require a genuine solution that offers them security and prosperity. The PLO, which continues to reject Israel's legitimacy, will subject any newlyborn Palestinian entity to thel whims of the Soviet Union. A new wave of instability endangering both Saudi Arabia and Jordan could result from such a reckless and hasty resolution. Both countries, at least for now, have cast their lot with the opponents of the Peace Treaty, and thereby, with the PLO. Yet, they may discover that if the PLO gets its way, they will have helped to stretch their own necks to the executioner's sword. Neither the PLO nor their Russian patrons has much respect for "feudal remnants," and the Jordanians and Saudis may well come to realize — as have so many others — that you cannot buy-off terrorists or fanatics. By then, of course, It will be too late.

Jewish Quiz BOJC By Rabbi Samuel J. Fox Jn» ith Trltftraphlc Agmcy, Irtc
QUESTION: What Is the origin and significance of "maos chlttim?" ANSWER: "Maos chittim" is the current name for the practice of providing the poor with the means of having matzos. This is" done by giving them money to buy It, flour to bake it or the ready made matzos to eat. It is an old custom which is already mentioned in the Talmud (Yerushalml, Baba Bathra). Some sources call this practice "Klmcha d'Placha" which means "flour for Passover (to use In making the matzos). Even though charity is required of every Jew for the preparations for every holiday, the rabbis made a special requirement for the preparation of Passover. The reason is that the Passover requires a Jew to have extra expense since he cannot use the food and bread which he may have left from the days preceding Passover because of the stringent laws forbidding chametz (leavened foods). He thus needs a new supply of food or sources of food to prepare the Passover meals. QUESTION: Why is it customary to place 10 pieces of bread around the house before the traditional search for chametz (leavening) on the night preceding the Passover festival? ANSWER: Since the house has already been cleaned and cleansed of chametz and a traditional blessing for the search is made, 10 pieces are laid out to be sure that the search will not be in vain If no other chametz is found. Some claim that the number 10 (the amount of chametz pieces laid out) Is used because on this night in the calendar the sons of Haman had copied the decree which called for the annihilation of all the Jews in the Persian Empire. It is like saying that the universe has to be cleansed of such evil people who would destroy Jews. Others claim that the I0 pieces represent the 10 levels of purity and the 10 levels of impurity. These are represented by 10 levels of angels in each of the two categories. The Implication Is that people should search their hearts and souls like the house of the Jew Is searched to erase all impurities and find the right steps on which to rise to a high level of purity. The more one searches the more one finds of his personal impurity. The more one cleanses one's soul of these Impurities the higher one rises on the scale towards purity in perfection.

"Passover — what lesson does it teach?" asked the teacher. " I know," said Joe, raising his hand. "It teaches us we should never be slaves — we should be free and Independent." "Yes," said the teacher, "It teaches that great lesson. No people should be slaves. But does it convey any other useful lesson?" "No," said little Joe, "that's all." "So why," asked the teacher, "do we eat unleavened bread on Passover?" "Why do we eat latkes on Chanukah or pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving Day?" asked Joe. "We eat matzos or unleavened bread because they are good to eat." "No," said the teacher, "the reason we cat unleavened bread Is In a class by Itself. Diet sometimes is more than aphysiologlcal thing." Sam said diet can make one fat and maybe they ate unleavened bread so they wouldn't get fat, then they would have to buy different clothes. Selma said matzos have little cholesterol, which is not too good for the body. Her mother, she said, tried to keep her cholesterol down and also took vitamins. "My mother," said Joe, "takes a lot of Vitamin C. That's very good for you." "My pop takes Vitamin B l , " said Archie. Sarah said skim milk has Vitamin A and D added. "Will you stop all of this vitamin talk," said the teacher. "What I am asking you Is there any lesson we can get from Passover besides emancipation from slavery. Of course, that was the great accomplishment, but perhaps there Is some other smaller lesson we can also learn from the holiday. Maybe we should start by considering the general picture. The children of Israel at first seemed to be doing very well In the beginning of their stay In Egypt. In fact, one of the children of Jacob became Prime Minister. But as the Israelites grew in numbers, there developed a lot of prejudice and finally they were all enslaved. That's right, isn't it?" asked the teacher. "That was the general picture, wasn't it?" "Yes," chorused the class, "that's the way it was. When they grew In numbers, they were made Into slaves." "And then what happened?" asked the teacher. "Then Moses appeared, determined to free them. He went to see Pharoah and. told him the Lord said, 'Let my people go'." " I won't let anyone go," said Pharoah. "Who do you think you are? " But Moses would not take no for an answer and finally Pharoah one day told Moses, "You win, your people can go If they want to." "Moses brought the good news to the children of Israel and they were very happy. They were going Into the wilderness, but this did not deter them. They would be their own masters. That was the important thing and finally they would enter the Promised Land. "Then one of the older Israelites arose. He had a very serious look on his face. We are all, he said, made happy by the news, but we must look facts In the face. We are going into wilderness. We've got to properly prepare ourselves. We should not think of going before three or four months, " I have some wine I am making, said another Israelite. I wouldn't want to leave that here. "One of the Israelite ladies said her child had a virus and she hoped they wouldn't leave at least for a few weeks. "Then Moses stood up. Yes, he said, we need time to prepare for the journey to the wilderness. There are no stores, no shops there, so we must prepare in advance. It is now noon. I will give you until midnight to prepare. We leave promptly at midnight. "But we haven't even bread for the journey, the people cried. It would take longer than that to make the bread. "All you have to do is to put some flour on the pan and bake it for an hour or two. "But what about the leavening of the bread? "We will eat unleavened bread. It is very good, said Moses. "So it was that the Israelites made matzoh and at midnight left Egypt. And a good thing it was, too. The next morning Pharoah arose and was told that the Israelites had left. He hollered, 'Get out the chariots and we will pursue these ungrateful people.' But the Israelites had gone too far. Pharoah lost out. "That's the story In brief," said the teacher. "So besides the lesson of freedom, Passover also teaches us that if we want to do anything significant, don't put It off. Do It now. That's the lesson, Isn't It?" asked the teacher, concluding. "Yes, that's It," chorused the children.

their usage of alternate alloys," said Dean Vining, who has served for the past six years as a member or chairman of the American Dental Association Council on Dental Materials and Devices. He said nickel-chromium and cobalt-chromium alloys for years have been used almost exclusively for partial dentures and recently are being more widely used for crowns and brldgework. "These metals have' properties which make them highly suitable as a substitute, although they are more difficult and time-consuming to fabricate than the gold alloys," Dr. Vining said. "They are lighter, stronger, less conductive of heat and cold and stay very bright and clean over a lifetime.
"With continued technical experience and product development, gold will gradually be replaced by the chromiumtype alloys in the coming few years." Patients at the Creighton clinic have the option of having either gold or chromiumtype alloy used in their crowns and bridges. Dr. Vining estimated that at least 75 percent of the clinic patients are now deciding against the gold. He doesn't find this surprising. "When the value of the precious metals is added to the inflated manufacturing and distribution costs, the price of these materials paid by the dentist has risen almost 20 times over the amount paid before gold was released as an open market commodity," Dr. Vining said.
