By Ncchcmla Meyers Never has a scientific meeting in Israel aroused such controversy ax "The First Congress on Inquiries into the Origin of Life and Evolution," held recently on the campus of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. This to because the gathering — organized by a group of Orthodox Jewish scientists from Israeli institutions of higher learning — took place under the auspices of the Israel Ministry of Education and enjoyed the support of the Israel National Council for Research and Development and of the prestigious Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities. Thus with the imprimatur of officialdom and adorned in on academic cloak, Crentioninrn was officially welcomed to Israel. Even beforehand a Jerusalem rabbi by the nome of Mordechai Arnon had raised the issue of Darwinism in Israeli eeculor echoob. But since he was an Israeli comedian before "eecing the light", his initiative wan not taken seriously; now, with leading scientists and official bodies involved, the issue cannot be ignored. Some participants in the Jerusalem meeting, while finding fault with the Darwinian and neo-Dorwinian approaches, also said that other doctrines, including that put forward in Genesis, were open to question. However, Prof. Alvin Radkovsky, who played a key role in the development of American nuclear submarines and ia now on tho staff of Ikn-Gurion University of the Negcv In Beensheba, felt otherwise. In the course of a talk on "Miracles," ftadkovsky said that scientific research had already demonstrated "the extreme improbability that life originated and developed by

His view was seconded by Dr. Dunne Gish, a leading Christian creationist from the U.S., in a talk on "Speculations ond Experiments Related to Theories of the Origin of Life." A rather different approach was presented by Prof. Cyril Domb, a well-known physicist who nomn years ago left Kings College, I<ondon to take up a post at Israel's BarIlan University. Speaking on evolution ot a special session . for students, Domb asserted that many aspects of the theory of evolution had been refuted, though not in time to prevent that theory from doing "enormous moral damage to Western noclcty" by encouraging tho belief in man's animal nature and in a meaningless universe. At the samo time, ho Raid he saw no point in portraying the Genesis account of events an an alternative scientific theory since itn acceptance was based on revealed truth and not on experimental evidence; it was thus above science. While participants were primarily concerned with counteracting the influence of Darwinism in secular schools, /computer expert L.M. Spetner warned that it had also found its way into religious nchoobi. "If Darwinism is to be in the curriculum at all," he declared, "then it should be only as a means of preparing ntudenU to confront it." Naturally moat non-observant Israel scientists disagreed with the viewpoints heard in Jerusalem, but so did many Orthodox scientists. For example, Wcizmnnn Institute Prof. Michel Revel, a leading expert on interfcron as well as an observant Jew, dismisses the organizers of the conference as no more than a vociferous ond unrepresentative group. "The vast majority of religious scientists," ho says, "feel otherwise, and in thin respect are quite in keeping; The United Talmud Torah of Omaha in the name of with Jewish tradition."

The Weizmann Institute researcher is disturbed by the growing intolerance he finds in some religious circles as well as by the attempts made to put religion against science. "When a child is told that he should accept something On faith rather than on the basis of scientific evidence, he is liable to lose that faith when he finds that science was right after all," Revel warns.

Klarsfeld book lists 80,000 Jewish victims

NEW YORK — The first comprehensive listing of ihe almost 80,000 Jews who were killed in the Nazi occupation of France, together with notes in English about the 78 convoys that carried them to their deaths, has tacn published in the United State*. This is the work of Sorgc Klarsfeld who, with his wife Beate, helped bring Klaus Barbie to justice. Many of the atrocities committed by Barbie «» head of the Gestapo in Lyons are documented in the book. Both Mr. and MM. KlarsfeJd participated in a news conference at the national headquarters of the American Jewish Committee here to launch the American edition of the book, "Memorial to the Jews Deported from France 1942-1944." Alwi present was* Susan Cohen Hcllman, who spent two years preparing the American edition, which i» available from the Beate Klarsfeld Foundation, P.O. Box 137, South Deerfield, MA 01373 at $35 a copy. Theodore Ellcnoff, chairman of AJC's National Executive Council, presided at the news conference. The 704-page volume, first published in France in 1079, contains a detailed description of each of the 78 convoys that carried Jews from detainment camps in France to the Nazi killing centers — in most cases, to Auschwitz. It gives the name of each person in the convoy, together with his or her birth date, place of birth, and nationality. It also contains many hitherto unpublished phoTo commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Days Castor Leo Fettmaa of Beth tographs, eyewitness account* of the horror, Ifraol Synagogue spoke during two assemblies at Wcstside High School. and reproductions of document* from the period that testify to the active role played by the French a* well en by the Germans in the deportations.

Each time a convoy left France for the killing centers in the East," he wud, "a list of the names of the victim* WAS, by Nazi order, prepared in quadruplicate. Two copies of the list accompanied the convoy and were eventually destroyed. A third copy wait kept by the Germans at the detainment camp, and v/as al*o lost. The fourth copy was kept by the captive Jewish community council in Paris. When the Germans fled that city in 1944, they were in such haste that they simply neglected to get back and destroy those fourth copies." Mr. Klansfeld went on to say that he had found (be ''fourth copies, faded and crumbling" in a cfote in a French Jewish archive only a few blocks from hi» office in Paris. "When I realized what I had found," he wiid, "I knew how Professor Sukenik must have felt when he first saw the Dead Sea *c rolls." Th<? Memorial book prestnt« far more than a list of the dead. In the annotations on each of the convoys, including the texts of telexes that paused between German officers in France and their superior* in Berlin, it offers a stark picture of the ruthless efficiency of the Nazis and their French collaborators. The book alto offers many poignant obwrvalionn from eyewitnesses and comments from the victims themselves. One <such comment lit in the form of a poem by Benjamin Vccalcr, a Romanian-born poet who wrote under the name of Benjamin h'andane, and wot deported In Convoy 76. It concludes with the following lines: "But when you trample this tuft of nettles which was I, in another century, in a history which will eeem to you long lout, remember, only, that I was innocent and that, just like you, mortals of your time, I had. us well, a face, marked by anger, by pity, end by joy, a man's face — nothing else." Another example, which Mr. Klarsfeld uid "serves as a cry from all the victims," is a tetter written by Liliane Gercnslein, arrested by Barbie at age 11. Though she did not survive the deportation to Auschwitz in Convoy 71, her letter was preserved. She addressed it "to God." It read as follows; "(rod? How good You arc, how kind, and . if one had to count the number of goodnesses and kindnesses You have done us he would never finish . . . God? It is You Who command.

The rabbis arc not cheered tho»e two or three times a year when the rank* of regular attenders are swelled by those of High Holidny observers. According to all three men, that attendance on these days should be so great is an irony since it is baaed on a popular misconception that Rosh Hoshanah and Yom Kippur are indeed the High Holidays, All three pointed out that Shabhat is the must important holiday of the .It-wish calendar, nnd Rabbi Brooks noted that if any other holiday besides Shabbat deserves that distinction, it is Crunch. "A religious calendar of only three time* a year rnlher tlmn 52 times n year is simply easier for many people to conform to," unid Rabbi Nadoff.

Rabbi Brooks cautioned that.no one doen himself any real Hpiritual good Uy coming K> i^vjces only on Hosh Hashanah nnd Yom ,Kipi>u.r. "Reljp!pu9r,#cryiea» nre like nchool," he said. ''They have a cumulative value. You benefit from them only by being rejfulnr attenders." The three rabbis respectfully disagree with each other when it come« to finding solutions for the problem. Of the three, Rabbi Dry/en i» the most inclined to think that declines in attendance «IM> have &omethint! to do with "services that do not meet peoples' needs and do not provide people with anything to respond to." He quoted a declaration of the (Conservative) Habhinical Assembly Ihrit "there is an increime in attendance when the format of service* appeals to those who come." Rabbis [Irooks and Nndoff do not agree with this assessment of the situation. "Program* can't'change attitudes," said Rabbi Nadoff, lidding that in any case it is not the place of the synagogue or the rabbi to "become n Hollywood production studio." Kabbi Brooks dismissed special Sabbath services and elaborate bar and hat milzvah celebrations ax "contrivances" th«t increase nttehdmice artificially. How instrumental is the sermon in drawing people to *ynagogiM<? Again, there i« disagreement among the three rabbis. On the one hand, linbbi Brooks believes that the pulpit meftsage is important ami thnt it is incumbent upon the rabbi "to meet the challenge of delivering relevant sermons." On the other hand, linbbi Nadoff has all but given upon the sermon. Though he plan* to continue to cipound Judaism from the pulpit, he nays, the "consistent absence of a vast majority of the congregation Sabbath after Sabbath makes him wonder about the sermon's value and effectiveness." .Straddling a middle position.

A unique and successful educational center tion. There is no such restriction on an editorial. Thus, let it be said, that the slide presentation prepared by the Yom HaShoah Committee of the Jewish Cultural Arts Council is a force unto itself. If you were there, move your eyes and attention elsewhere. There is nothing that this editorial can add to your personal reaction. For those of you who were not at Temple Israel last Sunday, a collection of more than 100 slides accompanied by music and readings was presented following the commemorative service. The program communicated the experience of the Holocaust through the eyes of people who lived through it and recorded what they had seen. The social hall was darkened, and slide after elide was projected on the screen. Each slide had its impact and each impact added its power to the emotion of each viewer.' Music and readings accompanied the slides. Individual feelings swelled as slide after slide, as words and music joined, as viewers were inescapably pulled into the monumental tragedy of the Holocaust. At one point, a women's voice agonizes and sobs as she calls out the names of Jewish children who were slaughtered in the Nazi murder camp of Maidenek. The realism was threatening as many in the audience awaited out the calling of a familiar name — perhaps their own. At various times in the presentation, survivors of' the death camps felt compelled to withdraw from the hall. Their recall was too vivid, too much to bear. Then, the end. The melody of Hatikvah. Within seconds, the hundreds in attendance stood in the darkened room and haltingly started humming and singing. One'bohld not see the tears of the person next to him — but the tears were there. One could not feel the blood pounding in his neighbor's veins, but he was conscious of his own. This was a moment to remember. Hundreds had become one. In behalf of the entire community, the Jewish Press thanks the members of the 198,1 Yom HaShoah Committee for their preparation of a meaningful message.

HAIFA -. It has been said many times that Israel's most preciou* natural resource is the brain power of i u population, and none of it should be permitted to go to waste. Giant steps have been taken in the direction of salvaging this resource among children who suffer from economic, social or cultural disadvantegtment. Latent talents that might otherwise never have been discovered, and native abilities that might never have been given opportunities to display themselves, are saved and constitute priceless additions to the national wealth - not to speak in terms of the salvaging of human personalities. Great efforts are also being made to meet the problems of children who, IK-COURC of physical illncfists or mental deficiencies of one kind or anotber, need assistance to lift them out of the category of social pariahs, and help them find a place in the complex of daily life commensurate with their admittedly limited capacities. Last week 1 visited a small but vibrantly progressive institution here in Haifa which carries the not very dramatic name of Child Center for the Improvement of Learning Abilities. The Center caters to a type of need which ho* hitherto been to a large extent unrecognized. Some children, it has been noticed, are very slow learner*. They may have I.Q.'it which are average or higher; they may appear perfectly normal in every way, they may come from the

Israel's economic miracle By Elmer Winter

Editor'* note: Elmer Winter la Ifao chairman of the Committee for Economic Growth of Israel, In iu first 35 years, Israel has produced the greatest economic miracle at the post-war era. Despite five want, periodic mobilization of iu work-force, heavy defense cost*, Arab boycolU, an absence of coal, oil, iron and other crucial natural resources and a chronic water shortage, Israel's economy has grown with startling upt-ed and developed a Bound and solid structure. In 1948, when Israel declared its independence, the total value of her export* for the year was $40 million — mainly from the sale of citrus fruits. In 1982, Israel's exports totalled $11 billion, most of it from the sale of industrial products. During the first year of Israel's existence, iu exports to the United States represented only 6.5 percent of its import* from America. Last year Israel exported approximately SI ,2 billion worth of goods to the United States -r- three-quarters of tho $1.6. billion it imported from this country'. Israel's export* — especially in agriculture, industry and technology — are the key to this dramatic economic growth. Agro-U?chnology is a field where Israel's pioneering has won world renown. Despite its limited arable land, Israel has created a miracle of agricultural productivity, not merely in the citrus fruiln for which it has long been f/imou», but in items ranging from fiowt-ni (Israel's tulips compete with Dutch bulbs throughout West Europe) to foic gras (Israel pate is found on the tables of rcstauranu throughout France). In the last decade, Israel's exports of fresh produce have quadrupled to more than $600 million per year, while the number of farmers has declined and the amount of arable land has remained the aame. Israel's industrial (success is a dramatic instance of how a small country, by dint of fiheer brainpower, can compete on the world market in such advanced areas as medical engineering, «olor energy, computer graphics, bio-technology and similar fields. In 1970, Israel bad less than 10 science-baaed companies, compared with 500 today. For every 10,000 citizen* there arc 30 scientists involved in research and development; the corresponding figures for some of the world's most industrialized countries are 25 for the

The settlements can be alever for peace By Dr. Irving Groeoberg Director, National JewUh Resource Center Except among party line Likudniks and Revisionists in America, the Begin settlements policy on the West Bank has achieved a state of almost universal eiecration. In his Middle East peace initiative speech, President Reagan stated that "more than any other action" (italics supplied) a settlement freeze "could create the confidence needed for far wider participation in the talks." When even dose friends of Israel such as Senator Henry Jackson insist that the West Bank settlements program must stop, you know that it is in deep trouble with American public opinion. It is an axiom on \yatl£treetthatwh^i> everybody agrees on a trend or a »tock ()ist is the tinie when "contarion thinking" offers the fnosl profitable approach. Let me then offer the argument that the settlement* ore not the obstacle to peace. Properly judged and used, they are a lever to achieve peace. For the record, I write aa one who believes that Israel should be prepared to give up the West Bank for the sake of preserving the Jewish character of the State as well as for the sake of peace. But if American Jews are to participate in Israeli policy formulation, they must learn to think for themselves and not merely parrot the press or Presidential line. The main charge against the continuing settlements policy is the claim that it prevents a peace treaty in which territory such as the We*t Bank will be traded for peaceful relations with the Arabs. Those who believe that the Palestinians' national aspirations, in particular, must be satisfied.fear that the settlements are an attempt to impose Israeli sovereignty on a million unwilling Arabs. This will foreclose any future' peace agreement because once the settlements are placed on the West Bank, future Israeli governments will be unable to pull them bock. Most American Jews believe that Israel's policy should be based on security considerations not on Biblical or national glory concerns so they suspect that the settlements grow out of the wrong agenda. They are uneasy that in the end they will have to defend Israel against its enemies and critics and thus will have to support the very policy which could undermine the Jewish character of Israel either demographically (incorporating 900,000 Arabs could create an Arab majority in Israel in this century) or morally (if Israel has to subdue Arab nationalism by 'South African style* repression). These views ignore two powerful arguments for the settlements. One need not agree with Menochem Begin as to the future of the West Bank to see the logic. One, Judea and Samaria are rooted in Jewish history and memory sa much as any of the modem sites of Israel are. Why should Jew* not be allowed to settle there as if they are pariahs or have no right to be in the Middle Bast area? The correct response is not to ban settlement. Just as Arabs have the right to be living in Jewish Israel, so should Jewa have the right to live on the West Bank - even if It become* a Palestinian state! Any state or autonomous authority that in- tends to live peacefully with iw Jewish neighbors - and only such a presence should be allowed to emerge - would make peace with the right of a rooted Jewish minority to live within its borders.

But just in case they may hit, Rabbi possibilities for the area. Drazen thinks "the time that goes into preparing a 15minute sermon is worth the trouble."

In short, if the standard use of the Begin government as an ideological whipping boy were dropped, then its settlements policy would become a pressure to move toward peace. The settlements themselves would bo the security and diplomatic trip wire for both sides. Their presence would be the best proof of the pacific intent of the Palestinians and the best guarantee of Israel's benign treatment of the West Bank's fledgling autonomy.

David Sher dies

Rabbi Nadoff noted that among some of the grown grandchildren of the immigrants, synagogue attendance may be becoming more popular because some of today's youth are "searching for their roots." Rabbi Brooks, however, believes that many of these younger people are as likely to be found at symphony on Friday night or at football games on Saturday mornings as et services, and says there is not the same kind of community feeling at synagogue services today that marked gatherings at "old-time" synagogues.

SYLVIA WAGNER

I'h.D. in history from UCLA. While Dr. Pollak is a professional author on Asia, Africa and England (he via* !x>rn in Kngland), he is vice president and cof o u n d e r , w i t h Mary Fellman, of the Jewish Historical Society, which now munlier* approximately 2hO ineml»ers. He reminded utt that Omaha ho* a wonderful Jewish past, and thot we will celebrate the With anniversary1 of the Jewish Federation. One of his i-pecinlties is "Jewish Peddler* of Omaha,"- how they struggled, about the five Jewish I«ddlerh" unions, how they influenced their children to attend college, a no mean feat in itfcelf, especially in those difficult times. He discussed "roots," and how a Catholic man in Spain showed him an ancient Hebrew scroll, a family heirloom, showing that he was of Jewish anctntury. but how the Inquisition destroyed Jewish life. Accept the church or die. Dr. Pollak met this man in Tel Aviv later, and the man had come back into the fold. A heartrending tale. See you May .'I.

militantly proclaim* that •JIHKJ year* of victimization of Jews can only IM? arrested by a rebirth amongst all Jews of ritual ond devout observance of Judaism in Israel. Kahane makes no claim to being objective or professional. Rather, he is inspired, emotional, and obsessed, His use of the To rah and subsequent history are highly selective. His litany of Jewish martyrs from Hornan times until the present leads to the obvious conclusion flint modern Jews must avoid complacency and must maintain nn armed vigil to protect their -Jewish birthright. While the oiiirlusion may !«• cornet, the actions that Kahane lielieves must necessarily follow m.'i> not IK- appro priate for everyone. The njMtition of Listen World, |;ihli-n Jew rilually <;pwi* and doM-fc almost all '«( th« 12 chapters. Thi' inexorable theme ol the liouk is that the only solution lor the maintenaiue of • lavish identity is the total i 'WMmMim-Mt and t-ntbritrmg of Zionism by Jews moving to Israel. Kiiluiiie's heroes are lighter*. His argument is «' thoroughly overstated «« to In1 unacceptable an well »s "Derisive to rnmiy Jews. I recommend Ibis Inxik to iinsone who wants insights into Kahane's interpret!)t ion of Judaism and who has I he patience to read beyond the rhetoric and hyperbole.

The Jews of Haly

By Ben Frank

MILAN (JTA) — This city is the gateway to Italy, the money maker of this republic, the industrial and commercial capital of this nation of 62 million people. This European trading center boasts international fairs, a silk market, nearly 1,000 banks, 32,151 firms and 26,981 manufacturers. It is a city that produces and sells everything. Within this thriving and throbbing metropolis is also a vital Jewish community of 10,000 people, about one-third of the entire Jewish population of Italy. Jews and Jewish sites are visible everywhere. There are about 10 synagogue*, five kosher butcher shops, Talmud Torahs and a day school. Jewish and Italian cultural and social activities arc intertwined in a complex mosaic. For instance, next to the world famous Ambrosiana Museum of I'iazza I'io XI Square, which contains Judflica and features the designs of l^eonardo da Vinci, is "Coen's Butcher Shop," operated by Jews from Egypt. Along with typical Italian street names are also streets such a* Piazza Tel Aviv and Via Sally Mayer which is named after Solly Mayer who was a noted Jewish industrialist and philanthropist. There is a Jewish day school at 4/0 Via Sally Mayer. In shops und outdoor cafes of the famous Golleria, the center of political and social life of the city and situated near the Milan Cathedral and the IJI Scala Opera, one can hear men and women speaking Arabic. Some of them are Jews from I.iliya. Several thousand Libyan Jews came here in HMHbecuse they spoke Italian. Until the middle of World War II, Italy controlled Libya. Life Style of Milan J e w s There are also about 1,000 Iranian Jews here. They maintain their own synagopje and club for young people. They arc excellent businessmen, skilled in the diamond and carpet trade. They are very pro-Israel and are actively involved in Iwhalf of the Jewish State. Many Kgyptinn Jews also net tied here, the result of the emigration from Kgypt after the 19.r>fi and 1967 wars. Jews from Nazi Germany also settled here. They fled Hitler in the 1930s. The diversity of the Jewish community in Milan in also characterized by the presence of many Ashkenazim, who in the last century found their way to this city as they moved into Southern Europe. In the past few yearn Milan has also become the home for a small number of Soviet 'lews and Israelis. The headquarters of the Jewish community and the Documental ion Center on Italian and World Jewry U at Via Eupili 6. At the Documentation Center this vuitor saw Jew* studying the history of the Holocaust as well a* the history of Jews in Italy before the 20th Century. The Lubavitch movement maintains a synagogue and a

yetthiva at Via Carlo I'oerio 35 and has made progress in imbuing the Jewish community with a measure of religious consciousness. Jewish leaders, however, point out that the Lubavitch are not part of the mainstream of Jewish life and that the separation between them and the highly assimilated Italian Jews remains to be overcome. There is a great deal of assimilation and mixed marriages, but Italian Jewry survives by the immigration of new groups which replace those who have becom? assimilated. Milan Jews arc engaged in professions rather than OK entrepreneurs or small businessmen, as are the Jews of Rome. Jews here are conscious of the nee<L/or acquiring higher education. While higher education's not free in Italy, !)0 percent of the Jewish youth attend college where they study medicine, engineering, chemistry, business and architecture. Part of the reason Jews settle in Milan is the cultural life and the diversity of social activity. It is after all, the home of the legendary iJt Scaln opera house, the home of Verdi and Puccini. It is also the center of fashion shows and of taste and tastebuds. Many Jewish businessmen told thin visitor that Milan is actually "n famous fortress of delicious cuifiinc." J e w s and non-Jews intermingle There is an easy intermingling of Jews and non-Jew*. Kosher food can be obtained at the senior citizens home as well as through the Lubavitch center. Jews hold kosher banquets and Bar Mitzvahs and weddings at the Hilton Hotel. Many Jewish businessmen gather at the Hotel Executive on Vialc Stirzo, which cater* to commercial and government personnel from around the world. Although Italians are a politically involved people, they nre more interested in "la dulce vita" (the good life), in vacationing, in getting away to the shore, in indulging their palnief. in visiting the numerous cafes and in visiting the museum* and the opera, ltnlinn Jews ore not immune to the pleasure principle. Hut politics does intrude, und there are controversies and discussions. During the war in Ixrbnnon, Israel's popularity slipped. However, there was no visible sign of any antiIsrael feeling among Italians here. There was an attempt hy a small subversive, illegal leftist group. Communists Organized for Proletarian Liberation (COLP). to bomb the Jewish community center on the night of Scptemlwr 29, hut t hi* was severely condemned hy officials and the public. The official Communist Party itself undertook a propaganda campaign against Israel and every night sent out a sound truck blaring anti-Israel statements. As the truck travelled through the city, nobody seemed to listen: nobody seemed to care. The war was far away and there were pleasures at hand to attend to.

Jewish Children

An Evening With

Elie Wiesel "One of the most gifted and sensitive writers of our time, Elie Wiesel is an outstanding voice for the human conscience. His lectures are recognized as cultural events." SPEND AN EVENING WITH EUE WIESEL. His lecture, "Souls on Fire: The Relevance of Hasidism to Contemporary Man," is sponsored by the AntiDefamation League of B'nai B'rith/Community Relations Committee of the Jewish Federation and Creighton University.

A survivor of Auschwitz and Bochenwald, Elie Wiesel today If a renowned spokesman for the Jewish people. Among his books are the award-winning "The Testament." and "Beggar in Jerusalem."

JERUSALEM (ZINS) Twenty four |KTcent of the world Jewish population lives in Israel, yet over 40 percent of all Jewish children are Ixmi here, according to the demographer Sergio Dellabegola of the Hebrew University's Institute of Contemporary Jewry. Three major factor* contribute to this disproportionate arrangement, he said in a radio interview. There arc proportionately fewer Jewish adults between the ages of 20 and 40 in the Diaspora than in Israel. Outside Israel, elderly Jews are living longer than ever before and are not being replaced. Assimilation also contributes to the low growth rate of lite Diaspora Jew*. Finally, the level of fertility; or family size, is substantially greater in Israel than in the Diaspora. T h e overage J e w i s h family in Israel has 2.8 children. Diaspora families, on the other hand, average about 1.4 children, a figure which is between 10 and 40 percent lower than for nonJewish population. Despite the special stress in Israeli life, the country's life expectancy rates — 76 years for women and 72 years, for men — are among the highest in the world.

Quiet please! By Bert Lewis Does anyone remember when it was quiet in the doctor's waiting room? Or in an elevator, or even on the phone while waiting to apeak to the airline ticket agent? I can't understand why our senses must always be assaulted by noise. I sat in my doctor's reception room the other day, waiting my turn, when 1 realized there was something very wrong. 1 should explain that 1 was trying to read the book I had brought with me. (Long ago I learned not to count on reading material in such places.) Something was interfering with my concentration, ami when 1 looked around I daw a small television perched high on a fchelf, facing the waiting patients. It was tuned in to one of those daily programs called "soaps". Of the five other people in the room, two were reading, one was dozing, one was doing needlepoint and one was watching the soap. Too bad there was a watcher, because you can believe I have enough chutzpa to have reached up and shut it off! You don't think BO? Listen, when the rock music is blaring at the dentist's office, I don't mind asking for mercy . . . 1 could certainly shut down General Hospital! Maybe it's a matter of nge — you see, I can well recall when the only sound in medical waiting rooms was the turning of the pages in National Geographic. I can also remember that when <i telephone numW man busy, there was a busy signal. Try calling United Air Lines sometime. Gottinuej First a disembodied voice (obviously a recording) tells you all the operators are busy. Then you're told to hold, and your call will be "taken in order", then the music you haven't requested begins playing in your car. You may hate it, but if you want to get your call through, you are a captive. I protest! I also protect the music in elevators. Who need* it? Mind you. if I'm in KMart 1 EXPECT to hear a nawil announcement of "the blue light special" (it's always nasal), but not in a waiting room! Don't misunderstand — I don't dislike music. Or even television. Hut 1 prefer to make my own selections in my own living room. And anyway, if there MUST be music, why not at least the kind that's played on f.m. station*? Or better yet, why not just plain air, with nothing in it but the sound of occasional phones or live people speaking? t can't be the only one who would rather use such time* to catch up on my reading or letter writing. Doesn't anyone else enjoy sitting in a room with stranger*, thinking private thoughts? Well, who knows . . . .maybe things could be changed. After all, we now have signs which say THANK YOU FOR NOT SMOKING. Maybe the day will come when neatly lettered messages in public waiting areas will read ZOLI, Z1NE SHTILL!

Worth less? (Iran*.) "Your shekel la worth less. Are you worth less?" To highlight discrimination in calories for working women, Na'amat distributed this advertisement throughout Israel.

The pages of the 1925 JewUh Prcu are still open on my desk, and since the paper is so brittle I thought we should look a little further before we put it away. Let's see, by April the Omaha Hebrew Club wa* celebrating its 33rd birthday, and people were urged to "come dance in the all new Chiodone Ballroom at 1105 South 24th." Hercberg's advertised some "Madam X Reducing Garment* for the extraordinary close-out price of $3.95." Will somebody PLEASE tell me what that was? And there was a linen shop called Thompson- Belden at 16th and Howard that roust have carried lovely t h i n g s . . . anybody remember the store? The Prcts also carried an ad for the Shuikin Delicatessen at 33rd end Cuming, another unfamiliar name to me. Nebraska Power proudly offered a Holpoint electric iron for $5 and Metropolitan Life Insurance Company wanted several married men between the oge» of 25 and 35 who weren't afraid of hard work. Guaranteed salary and commission, and "some men show tetter than $50 per week." How about this: Beth Hamedrofth Hagodal synagogue <you know; the Litviaher »hul nt 19th and Hurt) had a mortgage burning ceremony. The story said the congregation was first organized 40 years earlier (imagine, 1885!) a» Beth Israel and the original meeting site was at 12th and Jackfton. The present building was erected in 1912, Michael Kulnkofwky, president. In 1925 they were hflppy to claim 120 member* and the building which wasvnlucd at (35,000. (It was a wonderful building, even though 1 only knew the view from the balcony!) That year the University of Nebraska welcomed the firnt •Jewiih Mrority - Theta chapter of Si emu Delta Tau. Among the young women were four Omnhnn*: Kate OoldKtein, Ettelle I^opidun, Lillian Margolin and Sara Sombcrg. High schools that yenr graduated 44 .Jewish kids from Central and 30 from Tech, but none of you need to worry. There i*n't room here for yotir tinmen! And that'* the way it v/nn, f»fl yearn URO.
