/1-year-old makes bid to break bridge record

Editor's Note: Pierre Flatowicz of Omaha, a life master in bridge who runs a duplicate novice game on Thursdays at the Jewish Community Center and who emerged as a winner of the Swiss Team nwteh at the Lincoln Raglonal tournament last waakwid. accepted an invitatloB from the Jewiak |Vaaa to interview the 11yearold Jewiah boy who partidpated in the gamea.

Tha atary follows:

By Pierre Ftalowica as told to Morris MSUM It waa shortly after midnight Saturday wh«a) I waa aU* to chat with U-yeai^<dd Sam Hirschman of Southfield. Mich., at the Hilton Hotel in Lincoln where he attamptod to become the A'avngest Ofe master in the Iiii^oiy of bridge in the United Stataa.

Although he didn't make hia goal, the curly-haired pretaanmw still has until Aug. 19 to set a racord and beat Epy Haiah who bacama a life maatar at the age of 11 years and 10 months Mb fethir, Maittn. ia an attoniay. and Ua mothar.

Sam Hirschman masters. Mr. Hirschman said Sam started playing bridge at the age of four and by seven was playing duplicate bridge. He also baa done a lot of other thinga, such as taldng daaaea at tha Jewiah Community Center in our area.

"I don't feel that I'm preasured to play. I pl«y bacauae I enjoy the game and I'va bean able to pl«y in toumamanta in Rane, Miami Beach, Toronto, Buftak) and Thunder Bay. Ontario" Sam said ha waan't boUarad by tha cigaratta aoioka giBar«t«l ky aone adultpiiiyara. nor waa ha ifttteidiitad by the bignainaa i»brid«a.

"Ha doaan't even know tha namaa of tha au^jor play-

ers so consetiwently he does not know that he should be afraid of their skill," Mr. Hirschman added.

When I suggested to Sam that I wanted to interview him for the Omaha Jewish Preaa, he said he was used to being interviewed by the madia and that I could go ahead and aak him anything.

And when I inquired about a photograph, Mr. Hirschman opened his wallet and pulled out a spare anapahot.

The photo shows the youngster playing soccer, but athletics is not his main pursuit.

For a career he favors the three A's (actor, aicheotogist, architect). Mr. Hirachman aaid youngatara like Sam are an "untapped source of energy" for bridge and ita natural for a child to love tha gama if he is not under any pear or parental praaaura to play.

"Wbathar Sam continuaa hia toumamant play and braafca the aga barritr will be mOnfy up to him. Aa paranta, wa don't apphr praaaoia. it'* hia dacWaiL ' P.ai think ha'UeoittBM and juat beat that record Inddantally, hia dad won tha ofMB pairs on Saturday so bridge appaera to "suit" the fainiUy.

Freund views campaign as way to lielp people

By Morris MaUne When Democratic Congressional Candidate Eugene Freund walked into the Jewish Conununity Center this week, he paid more than usual attention to the Tzedakah box in the lobby.

"This is what my campaign is all about—bfiping peojpla-he told the Jewiah Preaa in an interview.

Israel Synagogue in Council Bluffs almost five years ago.

At that time, he told the Jewish Press that his interest in saving the synagogue waa just a natural evolution of his Jewish activitiea throughout the yeara.

"And my interest in helping iqy fellow man is just an axtenaion of my beliefs and my experimce in being an educator," he said Dr. Freund has lived in both Africa and Europe and helped train the first group of Peace Corps volunteers to be sent to Somalia.

He said that hia expsciMiea with taaa dwelopad countriaa haa made him a firm believar in foreigB aid "A small amount of money can go a king way toward training teachers, eliminating illiteracy, and establishing permanent Ewgene Fre«ad friendships," said Dr. Dr. Freund.apro{iaaorof Freund education at UNO aioce He pointed out that hia 1967, has taken aa unpaid leave of abaanoa to eam- belief in foreign aid tise in falgn for Congreaa in with his strong support for owa'a Fifth Coograaaional laraal. a direction which Dutrict.

Lesson for America

The terrible drought would have been enough.

Certainly the scandal in the Pentagon should have been enough.

And the latest news about the failure of the Bl bomber to live up to design expectations surely must be the last straw.

Unfortunately, the straws keep pilin,; up and the one to break the camel's back may now be upon us.

Of course, I'm referring to the 34-36 billion dollar arms contract between Saudi Arabia and Great Britain.

What this contract means to American diplomatic and economic influence in the world already is being discussed.

The thrust of the message is that Great Britain, following up its 1986 massive sale of arms to the Saudis, is now replacing the United States as the Saudis principal arms supplier.

Naturally, defense manufacturers in the United States are upset. And the average American—who will be toid over and over again what this sale means in terms of losing American jobs—also will be upset... understandably so.

Now, the Saudis' explanation for the British contract is going to add more fuel to the furor over the Israel lobby in Congress. The Saudis say that they bought from the Britr ish because the Israel lobby makes it too difficult for them to buy legitimate defensive weapons from the United States.

What a wonderful public relations ploy!

The 'jpioderate'' Saudis have found a way to hurt Israel by hitting Americans where it hurts—pocketbook diplomacy.

Although there may be some truth to the effectivoiess of the so-called Israel lobby, the real reason fca the sale by Great Britain may be more fundamental Could it be that the ability of the American defense industry has been so compromised that our manufacturers no longer can turn out the beat in high tecluKdogy weaponry?

Saudi Arabia has a stranglehold on petrodtAors and can afford the best mihtary hardware and ongoing military assistance in the world. They don't have to settle for secmdbest.

America's answer should be to make a commitment to produce the best and then see to it that this goal is accomplished. We've done it before, we can do it again.

(Continaed from Page 1) the Waffen SS are' among those buried.

Perhaps Bentsen's most controversial vote, as far as the Jewish community is concerned, came in June 1986, when he voted to-up-; bold Reagan's veto of a joint congressianal resofaitim rejecting a weapons sale to the Saudis. The Senate failed to override the veto by one vote, and the sale went ahead. Bentsen was the only Democrat to switch his vota In 1984, he opposed the sale of Stinger miswlas to Jordan and Saudi Arabia, and in 1986, heco4pansared the resohitiaa to deny advanced weqiena to Jordan unto it begins peace n^odations wiUi Israd.

But in 1987, he was not one of the 68 senators who signed a letter oppoatng the sale of 1,600 Maverick missiles to the Saudis, which eventually caused Reagan to remove the missile from the arms package.

Most recently, he was not among the 21 senators who signed a letter, initiated this month by Sen. Dennis DeCondni (D-Ariz.), urging the administration not to submit a proposed $1.9 billion arms sale to Kuwait.

On domestic issues, Bentsen voted for a coostitotional amendment that would have permitted pr^er in the paUic schools. He has supported women's ri^t to choose to have abortions, voting against an amendment that would have foriridden the District of C«fambia to use (fistiicC or teienl funds to p^y for abortkns.

"Liojrd Benaten's kmg congressional career indicatee conaideraUe under-

standing and sympathy for maigr issues of particular interest to the Jewish community—the U.S.-l8rael relationship, Soviet Jewry, the genocide treaty," said David Harris, Washington representative of the American Jewish Committee.

"While there may be some concern about some of Sen. Bentsen's votes with respect to arms sales to Arab countries that remain technically at war with Israel, overall we view him as a frioid with whom we have enjoyed a close working relationship."

David Brody, Washington representative of the Anti-Eief amation League of B'nai B'rith, observed that Bentsen has been a stnmg supporter of Israel has had good rdations with the Jewish community in Texas. He

said the senator stressed in a recent letter to constituents that by supporting Israel, the United States "advances the caiue of peace in the Middle East."

Brody said Bentsen also has emphasized the need to take strong measures against terrorismi' And the senator has pushed for an energy policy to lessen dependoice on Middle Bast oil. In presenting Bentsen, Dukakis noted the parallel to 1960, when the Democratic ticket also contained a presidential candidate from Massachusetts, John Kennedy, and a vice presidential candidate from Texas, Lyndon Johnson.

Not mentioned was another parallel to that election. Bentsen benefits bom a Texas law passed that year tor Johnson, which will allow him to run for re-

election for his Senate seat, as Johnson did in 1960, while running for the vice presidency.

Bentsen was first elected to the Senate in 1970, when he defeated his Republican opponent, George Bush, who will be the GOP presidential candidate this year. Bush has -not yet named a running mate.

A native of Texas, Bentsen enlisted in the army as a private during World War II and rose to the rank of major. He graduated &om the University of Texas with a law degree. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 1948 and served there until 1954, when he went into business in Houston.

Preventive medicine aids good health

By Garret S. Partcer, M.D. Many medical problems, though caused by hereditary factors, are modifled by the things we do to our bodies.

Smoking, following poor diets and not exercising all have been found to lead to increase in illness.

Preventive medicine deals with identifying these individual risks and towering them. The topics discussed below are some of the more preventable areas In medicine where risk factors can be lowered.

Two major causes of heart disease, stroke and kidney failure are high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol.

Blood pressure Is easily screened by your physician and, if found to be elevated, can be treated initially with a km salt and occasionally a weight-k>ss diet (If ovenweight). Diet alone will help over two-thirds of the time.

If persistent or severe, medication can be used, but mecfications are more successful with diet therapy and do' occasionally have side effects. Unless severe, high blood pressure rarely needs to be treated rapidly but can be bwered gradually. Help with stress and regular aerobic exercise (if medically able) can also help.

Cancer screening is used to detect cancers early, while they are still In a

Breast checks can be done at the time of the pap smear, f^ammograms have helped detect breast cancers early, especially in the over-50 population for whom they are recommended yearly. Most physicians recommend an initial screen between ages 3540, and then every two years till age 50, though the benefits are less certain under age 50.

Stool blood tests help in eariy detection of colon cancer and are recommended every two years from, age 40-49, and yearly from age 50. Some cancer spedalists suggest sigmoidoscopies every three to-five years after age 50.

Though not curable, people at risk for •having a child with Tay-Sachs can now be kJentified and the potential risk discussed. The disease leads to severe neurologic and devefopmental problems in an affected infant. The Incidence is 100 times tijgher in Ashkenazic Jews.

Breast cancer more frequent in Jewish women

By Kay E. TIcen, M.D. Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths among American women. It is estimated in 1988, 42,000 women will die from breast cancer and 135,000 new cases will t>e diagnosed.

The epidemiology of breast cancer has been the subject of investigations since before the 1930's. Fromlhis.anumberof widely accepted factors for this disease have been documented. These include a family history pf breast cancer, not having children, late age at first birth (over age 30), t>eginning menstrual cycles below the age of 12, having menopause over the age of 55, history of benign breast disease, high socio-economic status, high dose radiation exposure, and being Jewisfi.

If a womah with no risk factors is assigned a relative risk value of 1, the relative risk factor for Jewish women t)etween the ages of 30 and 54 is 2, and about 1.8 for ages 55 to 84. If other risk factors are also present, the relative risk value goes up.

Studies have been done of Jewish Immigrants to Israel from Europe, America, North Africa and the Middle East to study phanges in breast cancer incidence rates, as these groups gradually merge into a society with a generally westernized style of life.

The studies indicate that those who came from Europe and America have the highest incidence rates compared with those bom in Asia and Africa, who have the kjwest, reliecting the situation in their respective countries of origin.

However, once in Israel, the Jews from Asia and Africa increase their incidence rate by 54 percent, while those from America had only an increase of 12 percent, between the period of 1980-1969 to 1972-76. During the 1972-76 period, there was an incidence rate of 61.9 cases per 100,000 females of Jews bom in

The Visiting Nurse Association Honeyman Rent-All West Dodge Dental Clinic So it you're Jewish, what do you do The Hudson Center about protecting yourself from this risk of Images Inc. increased incidence of breast cancer?

There are guidelines which have been set up indicating how to protect your breast health.

1 Young women shouM begin doing breast self-examination at age 20. At age 35, a baseline mammogram should be done with a subsequent mammogram every two years until age 40. At this point annual mammography shoukJ be done.

Since the incidence of breast cancer only increases as you get okJer, continued mammography is indicated on an annual basis.

If these guidelines are followed, it is nrost likely that if a cancer shookJ arise it can be diagnosed in time to be quite curable. Minimal breast cancers, those ' ^11 .'^^' ^- ^ with a diameter of less than 1 cm, (about LAugust 15,2988 1/2 inch) have a 93 percent 20-year survival rate. If the cancer is not diagnosed until it is palpable, approximately 2 cm., and h^s spread to the lymph nodes, the 20 years survival is 23 percent. Therefore a risk factor can be Jooked at as something to keep you conscious of the need for a personal plan to maintain breast health.

Oat bran has health benefits

Special care tnafs professional and personal.

By Phil Sokolof, president, National Heart Savers Association

Oat bran is being hailed as "one of the greatest food discoveries in the last 10 years" according to a spokesman for Arrowhead Mills, Inc. in Hereford, Texas.

Dr. James Anderson of the University of Kentucky Medical College has done extensive research on oat bran and its healthful effects on the body. "Watersoluble fibers such as the type found in oats," says Dr. Anderson, "seem to be especially effective in lowering cholesterol. With oat bran, we found we obtained about a 35 percent reduction in serum cholesterol."

LIFE IS NOT ALWAYS JUST A PARIY NOKYMAII RENTAL IS MERE FOR THOSE IKS TOO! CHOLESTEROL

YOUR CONVENIENCE

I^BODYBASICS: FITNESS

Editor's Note: Mr. Sokolors original article appeared In Barren's national weekly of June 27.

Only four years have passed since cholesterol was proven deadly. Our world will never be the same.

The most expensive and broadest research project in medical history ended In early 1984. The Federal Government had spent $150 million on a 10-year study which forever altered American lifestyles.

The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) recruited 3,806 men between the ages of 35 and 59 for the long term monitoring of blood cholesterol. The study proved unequivocally that lowering your cholesterol reduces your risk of heart attack. Each one percent reduction in cholesterol achieved a two percent lessening in the incidence of heart infarct.

The average cholesterol level of the men tested was a high 265 nf>g per deciliter of btood. The average U.S. adult is 220. When they reduced that level to 200 (a reasonably attainable goal), the risk of heart attack dropped 50 percent.

No further authentifk;atk}n was necessary, but the Multiple Risk Factor Inten/ention Trial (MRFIT) Research Group headed by Dr. Jeremiah Stamler of Northwestern University Medical School presented the results of a six year cholesterol study to the American Heart Association in 1985. The largest group ever, 356,222 men ages 35 to 57, was foltowed. The nwn were divided into six categories from levels under 182 mg/dl to above 263 mg/dl. The death rate from heart disease increased in each succeeding category, the highest having a death rate almost seven times greater than the towest. , Dr. Stamler emphasized the message was clear.

"This study validates the position that one shouW enjoy the pleasure of eating in a modified way. That means less saturated fat, less cholesterol, avoidance of high sodium intake and heavy drinking, better cakirie t>alance through proper diet and exercise — and no smoking. For a better life, better tongevity though health."

An easy test

[esterol era Heart attacks will kill 540,000 Americans this year, one every minute of every day. However, there are slgnlfk»nt signs that an aware and concerned nation is In transitton. The outlook is brightening. Indeed, since these studies were carried out, many Americans have given up smoking, are consuming less fat and eating a better diet, are exercising more — and the numljer of deaths from heart disease is decreasing.

The Natkjnal Institutes of Health recently offered new guidelines for all adults. It Is recommended that cholesterol levels be under 200 mg/dl. Those with a readingof 200 to 239 are considered at moderate risk of suffering a heart attack. Above 240 Is deemed "high risk:. Other negative health factors compound the risk. It is staggering to realize that over 50 percent of the adult populatkjn has an undesirable, over 200, bbod cholesterol There is no doubt that appropriate changes in diet will reduce cholesterol levels. The NHLBI has launched the National Cholesterol Education Program designed to enlighten citizens on the importance of knowing their cholesterol. Public service announcements about cholsterol are aired daily. Food manufacturers am promoting tow fat/tow cholesterol foods. Pharmaceutical f inns are devetoping new drugs to help reduce high cholesterol.

People can now have their cholesterol levels measured in shopping malls, supermari<ets, airports and health fairs. In additton, physicians are becoming nxjre concerned eboy\ elevated cholesterol. Despite all this activity, only eight percent of citizens know their cholesterol levels. The campaign has only begun.

IdentHteatton of high cholesterol levels must be given a priority. Nattonal Heart Savers Associatwn is offering its servfces free of charge to help establish and facilitate permanent corporate in-house cholesterol testing programs.

More and more Americans are deciding to take health precautions before, not after, disaster strikes. One can help bring about a society relatively free of premature disability and death. Ourworld, thankfully, will never Ije the same.

Cholesterol, cigarette smoking and high blood pressure are controllable, predisposing causes of coronary heart disease. Cholesterol tests provWe important clues to an indivkfual's risk of heart disease.

Omahans have a relatively new health service available to them in the Cholesterol Corner at the Westroads Shopping Center. For a fee, a person can have his or her cholesterol level tested through the use of a simple finger stfck test and a Reflotron machine. Fasting is not required and the results are ready in a few minutes. In additton to cholesterol testing, courtesy blood pressures are taken for anyone.

Each person tested is given a brochure with diet gukfelines and general Informatton atwut cholesterol. If the test results are outskJe the recommended range, the individual is advised to see a doctor.

Aspirin and heart disease Extensive research into the questton of.whether or not aspirin helps prevent heart disease shows that it is effective, the Nebraska Medfcal Associatton reports.

The deciston on whether or not to use this type of therapy shoukJ be deckled by the individual and his phystoian.

The Adult Day Care Program

By Bert Lewis The Adult Day Care Program, which is sponsored by the Bureau for the Aging, might well be called the best kept secret of the Omaha Jewish community. For some reason, this valuable service is unknown to many, Including those who might best benefit from it.

What exactly Is the Adult Day Care Program? Simply, it is a plan intended for older folks who tolerate living in a private residence well as long as they are not left alone. Perhaps it might translate to an elderly parent who who makes her home with an adult daughter, the careglver, who works outskle the home.

When the caregiver returns from work, she manages the needs of her parent — the preparation of dinner, perhaps helping with a bath, giving medication and assisting at bedtime. But what happens during working hours, when she isn't present?

Does this elderly person walk akjne easily, or is she unsteady? • Can she prepare her own lunch? Will she rememberto take her medicine at the right time?

Is there a possibility she will be unsure about taking it and as a result take it twfce? Does the bathroom become an insurmountable obstacle? And, in additksn, what does she do all day, atone?

If the services of the Adult Day Care Program were used, the daughter might take her mother to the Blumkin Home on her way to wori<. She would be provided with comfortable surroundings, a place to rest if she wants (or needs) to, medicatton wou W tje dispensed at the right time, a bath would be given if requested.

Lunch would be served, and if the lady has been in need of pihysical therapy

ordered by a physk:lan, this also woukJ be available.

She woukJ also be encouraged to partteipate in the on-g6ing activities in the l-lome and in the community programs.

Within the course of the day, for however many hours needed, this lady would be in a safe and comfortable environment where a very important extra benefit is the company of her peers and of visttors.

Geriatric professionals call this "social interaction," but one doesn't need training in geriatriQs to understand the value of human corilpanionship.

The costs are nominal, the advantages tremendous.

This program also might sen/e well the special needs of a caregiver who remains at home all day, every day, kxjking after a parent or spouse, with no outskJe help.

Everybody, no matter how conscienttous or loving, needs an occastonal break in such a routine — needs to "get away" now and then. Such a caregiver might appreciate the Adult Day Care Program for times when "getting away" becomes advisable or necessary. Letting the professionals take over wouW altow such a respite if the individual were brought to the Blumkin Home for, perhaps, a moming or afternoon.

In fact, in such a scenario, a regular one afternoon a week might offer a wekwme diversion to everyone involved. Those who are In charge of Day Care are in place, waiting to be of servtee to those In our Jewish community who need them.

This is an extremely valuable resource.

It's there fot anyone who woukJ enrich an othenvise solitary daily routine.

Dealing with stress I an article published inJhe American Medical Nftwffs Robert Elliot, M.D. said three-fourths of all visits to family doctors and internists are related to unrelieved stress.

According to Audrey Beriin. M.S., a therapist at the l-iudson Center, effective stress management involves looking at all the stress Inducers in one's life. There are internal stressors, which are the demands and expectations one puts on oneself, and external stressors w/hich are caused by situations that occur in daily living.

What can be done atx»ut the problems of stress? Ms. Berlin suggests a number of steps a person can take to help relieve stress.

•Identify your maximum level of functtoning. How much pressure Is necessary to keep you functtoning at your maximum potential?

'Identify the difficult people in your life and learn techniques to help you cope with those people.

'Learn relaxation techniques.

•Plan — and then expect your plans to change.

•Develop a network of people to talk to.

•Plan recreation.

•Be assertive.

Cindy Snyder, a Ifcensed massage therapist at Jags in Regency Court, feels that for many people massage can also be used to relieve stress. The general body massage releases muscular tensun, increases circulatiori, reduces chronic stress, promotes ralaxation and reduces fatigue, according to Ms. Snyder.

A professional massage therapist has a tfiorough training In anatomy ?ind physiotogy as well as In massage strokes, Ms. Snyder said.

Clinic aims for early skin cancer detection According to John R. Luckasen, M.D., Stephen CTPapenfuss, M.D. arxi Bert C. Frichot III, M.D., the physicians of The Skin Cancer Clinic, earty detectk>n of ekin cancer can reduce discomfort, disfigurement and risk to lives.

The clinic, a diviston of Midwest Dennatok>gy Clinic, Inc., offers free screening for skin cancer through a service called MoleWatch. People who have a nrale or other skin blemish which k>oks suspicious can have it examined by appoint-

ment and without charge at Midwest Dermatok>gy.

Lung Association offers tips to 'heal' houses

ByCtNickAmoM JCC H a PE dirtctor

Radon, a racfoaclive gas formed by the natural breakdown of radium, seeps tfirougti porous rock and soil and enters a frame or txiikiing througfi gaps and cracks in the foundation or insulation, and through pipes, sumps, drains, walls or other openings.

Outdoors, radon is diluted quickly, but it is deadly when it accumulates inside homes or other stmctures. Indoor radon exposure is believed to be the second leading cause of lung cancer deaths in the United States behind cigarette smoking, according to the Lung Association.

The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that 5,000 to 20,000 lung cancer deaths each year may be attributed to high level exposure to radon indoors.

Free pamphlets on radon, including suggestions for treatment of "sick" houses, are available by writing the Lung Association at 8901 Indian Hills Drive, Suite 107. Omaha, NE 68114.

The staff of the Jewish Communty Center's "Universally Fit" fitness center has devetoped a special health history form based on recommendations from tfie American College of Sports Medicine. This health history is used to determine a member's primary and secondary risk factors associated with heart disease, such as cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, cholesterol level and family history. Other factors of interest are the types of activity the individual parti^pates In, eating habits, occupation, resting heart rate and goals and objectives for participating in an exercise program.

Because exercise is positively linked with factors that wort< against heart disease, ovenveight, high blood pressure and stress, aerobk; exercise and muscle strengthening activities are becoming more generally accepted as appropriate programs for everyone.

An example of the postive results which can be obtained through the fitness center's program can be found In member A's progress. Member A was 40 years

of age and had nevertaken good care of himself; he was overweight and Inactive—he had never exercised in his life. Witti on-going guidance and training, since Sept.

27,1967 he has k>Bt 78 pounds, seven inches from his waist, eight Inches from his chest and reduced his cholesterol level 25 peicent.

He started his program wKh 30 minutes on a stattonary bk:ycle and a light muscle strengthening program. Now he routinely mns three to five miles on the computerized treadmlU and outdoors, rides the aerobicydes and works out with weights three times a week.

Member B, a woman in her late 40's, had a lifetime history of high btood pressure and unsuccessful dieting.

After following the program for six months she has tost 116 pounds, going from a size 24 dress to a size eight, and her doctor has taken her off her high bkKtd pressure medtoatton.

The JCC program provides guidance and training, and Itwortts. See your doctor, then call for an appointment.

NOTEWORTHTS ANNUAL SPECIAL-ORDER S'IVOTo^fERY SALE

Because I always enjoy playing with language and words, something that always ticlJes me is the topic for today.

Tiiat is, the way words are mis-used, or mean one thing and often are given different definitions. Let me show you what I mean.

Did you ever notice the signs here and there which say "Garage Sale?" Now that doesn't mean somebody actually has a garage to sell. Of course not—what it actually means is they have a bunch of stuff inside that garage which is for sale. But the sign says "Garage Sale."

Then there's the one which proclaims "Baby Sale."

Imaginel My boyfriend once noticed one of those ads and suggested "You've always loved babies so much—why don't you go get one that's on sale this week." I keep telling him nobody likes a smart aleck, but it's his little joke.

It is also a fine example of misleading terms. The ad really is selling cribs or diapers or strollers or whathaveyou in the way of stuff you need for babies. But it does sound like you could buy a kid.

Another one of my very favorites is a fashion ad which reads "trunk showing." IJke it's a big deal to go to a lovely store and look at their trunks! Naturally that isn't really what they mean, but that's what it sounds like. I don't know who invented the notion—probably some fashion designer in Paris. They imply they've brought in (from some fashion capital or other) trunks filled with next year's designs and you only need to come for a style show to see what they look like. Hence the term: Trunk Show.

Another one of my all-time favorite misnomers is "White Sale." That has so many possibilities I have to be careful, but in truth, it's an out-dated expression. Used to be, years ago, sheets and pillowcases and the like were always white.

We all know that's not the case any more. Mostly bed linen and towels and everything that falls under that category are in color these days. So why do they still call it a White Sale? Habit, I suppose.

It's all nonsense—nothing very important really. But it gives us something to talk about. That is, something besides diets and weight and the weather. And have you ever noticed, everybody likes to be able to make fun of something. So that's my excuse. I've made sport of the advertising industry. They can retaliate if they want to, but I can't imagine howl •

Soviet Jewry

By Bonnie Pawloski and Ruth Potash This week the Omaha Committee for ^viet Jewry suggests Omahans write to Mikhail and Evgenia Kalendarov. They have been separated from their daughter, Mila, since 1972 when she was permitted to go to Israel with her family. The Kalendarovs have never met their two granddaughters in Israel who are already 10 and 13 years old.

Their son, Boris, was sentenced in 1979 to two years

in labor camp on charges of draft evasion. After completing his sentence in March 1981, be was released and a worldwide campaign on his behalf helped gain him an exit visa in 1986.

Omahans may write 'to the Kalendarovs at Basseinaya 12, Apt. 81, Leningrad, RSFSR, USSR. APPOINTED DEAN NEW YORK (JTA)-Dr. Norman Cohen has been appointed dean of the New York School of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. He succeeds Dr. Paul Steinberg, who was appointed dean of faculty.

PERSONALS We want to thank the Omaha Jewish community for their good wishes, love and support during the past weeks. Susie and Gila are doing well. How fortunate we are to be part of such a caring community.

Dorothy Brandt warns of drugs and cults Former Omahan Dorothy Brandt, who made aliyah to Israel almost six years ago, said this week that she is concerned about the growth of drug abuse and cults in the Jerusalem area.

In Omaha with her daughter, Nechamah, 13, Mrs. (Yehudit) Brandt was interviewed by the Jewish Press to determine what changes she observed in Israel since her last visit here some three years ago.

"Cults and drugs," she said, adding that many young people are coming to Israel looking for answers to basic lifestyle problems and turn to cults and drugs

when the answers are not to their Uking.

Mrs. Brandt said that she volunteers often to help youngsters who are receiving professional help toward deprogramming and freedom from drug abuse.

"These youths need someone to reach out to them with love and understanding. It takes time to listen to them and some of the success stories are really amazing," she added.

Part of the problem in Israel is that so many cultures impact in a small area ^ suiting in different worlds for Jerusalem's Jews, she said.

Another major difference is that of the current uprisings in Gaza and the West Bank, Mrs. Brandt said, explaining that the major difficulty is that Westernoriented media are not familiar with the Middle Eastem cultures.

For example, she said, Arab shopkeepers in East Jerusalem appreciate the efforts of the Israeli military to keep their shops open.

"The shopkeepers are deathly afraid of the PLO and Arafat."

The media also doesn't understand the Modem custom of encouraging children to go into the streets and endanger their lives by causing disturbances.

"For them, it's women and children first. Let them be the ones to be hurt..."

Mrs. Brandt plans to return to Israel July 27 after visiting her children and grandchildren in Dallas and Chicago.

CORNBELT COUNCIL Combelt Council BBYO recently braved the heat and visited Worlds of Fun in Kansas City.

The purpose of the day was more than to enjoy a day of rides, it was also to encourage members to pay 1988-89 dues early in the summer, said Danielle Epstein, interim ^YO director. The cost of the program was reduced for paid-up members and many of the

31 who attended took advantage of the offer, Ms. Epstein said. The cost of the bus was subsidized by B'nai B'rith Men. Ms. Epstein also pointed out that BBYO activities are for paid-up members and that dues are now past due. To pay dues, bring them to Ms. Epstein at the Jewish Community Center.

Health and wellness at the JGC

Our Security Systems give YQU Peace of Mind

Carl Jarl Locksmiths By Henry Stern

By Gary M. Bernstein Beginning in the late 1960's, there was an increase in the number of people who participated in regular physical activity.

Today, these exercise and fitness programs have expanded to include more comprehensive health promotion offerings. Nutrition and weight loss programs, stress management, smoking cessation and many others are now available to members of the Jewis!i Community Center of Omaha. Efforts to create a healthier environment by implementing smoking policies and offering nutritious selections from vendingmachines are included in health promotion programs of the 80's.

When it comes to health and wellness, the Jewish Community Center of Omaha wants to set a good example. Because of this, the JCC recommended to the Federation Board of Directors, and final approval was given to a new smoking policy for the Jewish Community Center building, Beginning Aug. 1,1988 the new policy will be: The Jewish Community Center building (which includes all inddor facilities except the Rose Blumkin Home and Livingston Plaza apartments) shall be designated non-smoking, except for the auditorium which shall be designated a smoking area. It too may be designated a non-smoking area at the discretion of the group that is in charge of the program.

"For those employees and members who smoke, I want you toknow that our intention is to help you adjust to this new policy in every way we can. We are goingto do our best to make the transition to a smokefree environment an easy one," said JCC executive director Jeff Aizenberg.

"It was the feeling of the Center and Federation Boards that moving to a smoke-free environment would be a positive step forward in the long run. The JCC building will have a more productive, clean and healthy environmentfor all to enjoy as a resultof this new policy," Mr. Aizenberg said. "Center members can feel good abouthaving their children here and not exposed to the smoke from the canteen area.

"By taking these steps toward good healUi, productivity increases, illness declines — p win/win situation for the JCC building ind its members."
