It waa ntost likely to hear a report from Araon Mantver, direetw general of the Jewish Agency's Immigration and Abaorption Department, who has juat retomad from Addis Ababa, iriiars he was sent to asseoe the situation firsthand. The Jewish Agency and Israd's Foreign Ministry were said to be awaiting word of the outcome of talks formar U.S. Sen. Rudy Boachwits bald in the Ethiopian capital last weekend with liengistu. Preaidant Boah aent the Minpaao^s RepuUican to A^Uia Abriw aa hia paraonal endaaary to atpadito tha departure of Jtnm for laraeL Boechwitz was expected to report to the president on his miaaion
by early next weak. There were unconfirmed reporta that ths United Statee waa (rffering Mengiatu poUtkal aqHhmi in tha event of a nM victiory. Maleohn Hoenkin, execQtive directm' of the Conferenoe of Preeidento of Major American Jewish Organieatians, said he was hopeful that the outcome of negotiations cumntly under way would be poeiUva. But he streaaed that nagotiationa were at an eariy atage and added, "^wculatkm wlian 18,000 Uvas are at «take is irreq>onaIble." Meanwhile, the Jewish Agency still aqwcto about 260 Ethio|dan oUm to arrive hi larael by tint end of the week, the normal num-
ber of weakly arrivals since January. But preparations are being made for a sudden, much larger influx. Israel's Absorptkm Mhiistty reportedly has engaged 3,000 motel rooms to house tiie Ethicpians ternporaiily. About 11 hotels in Tiberias, a reaort dty on Lake Khmeret, have reportedly aignad up with the Amidar houaing company to provide quartars for tha immigranta. But Mayor Yoaai FtraU aaki Ua d^ la not readly to abaorb the 2,000 oUm that would be sent there if the Ethiopian Jews were alknred to emii^ata. Ha aUd it needed time to mobilize doctors, teachers and social workers.

Do jitm have a cat? Did you ev«r hcv0 a catf HM subjact came up not long ago WIMO my HtUoit granddan^ tor was ^van a new littte Idtty. She, the cati waa named Grade md as far as I know, evtfybody. induding Oracle, is getting along nicely. I remmbcr the cat I graw iq> with. She was black and white and namedlor a character in one of my favorite stories—Trottift Now that I aee that in print I realize wliat a really dumb name it was but fortonateiy, mithsr the cat nor I knew it at the time. What I remember haa nothing to do with her name however. I remember ^ was a nice cat, although terriUy vain. She loved to ait on a bedroom dreaaing table and admiro heradf in the mbnr. She also krved to stalk imaginary creaturee and suddenly ^ through the ah-, aearmg the aoeksoffme. I hated that md I tUflk she knew it... I have to laugh when I think of an the fancy stuff cats are fed today. Ail the decision^ Ibcat dry food versus canned. In our hooae there wasn't a qMdal menu for 'Atittie. She got what my Mom fed her, mostly table ecrapo I think, and now aid then, on the days my Dad picked iq> a meat order from the kosher butdier shop, a treat. The treat was always the same. Raw liver, and that cat would have walked across hot coals for it. She performed on her hind legs gladly, for the reward of that liver. And I think I remember that she got a bold of milk OB a somiwhat regular baais. I recall ahe used to go nuts if somebody opened a can of liudinee within a 12 mile radius but in qpite of sll that, there wasn't a Ug deal about her diet Certainly nobody bought spedaJly manufactured cat food. C^ course yon have to uqderatand I'm qieaking about the hqipenings of the 1890'B; if yott'rto old enou^ to relate, you remember that special food for a housecat would have been considered a fbolish extravsgance in numy households. And anyway, moot ieats were hi the house for a dam good reason to begin with, and it had notUng to do with being a pet (or the childno. The cat had a j(Jb and if she or he did it well, q>ecial diets were unnecessary! That was then... unlike now. Our granddmighter's kitten exists in her new hone to be Jdua's friend and con^anioo. As for anything else. Grade doesn't have to justify hnsdf. At least not yet l4ras told a fonny stety however. It seemi the first day or two after Grade moved in. an unwanted gueet appeared on the premisee. Grade waa interested in it but nobody had taught her she was suppoaed.to cq>tura it The man of the house did the chofs and the mcnn teasfaigly said "hey JuUa, the cat is really a boco! She can't ci^ anything." JuUa wept and aaid "give her time...ahe11learal" ^» I'm sura that's true. No matter the y^ar, animal in^Uncte aurvive and I know Grade will kun. Mostly we just hope she'll learn to be a tp>od friend to a nk» little girl who already lovee her a lot.

Thoae of you who took the time to viait the capaole site aa a reonh of my editorial probably natioed the theme inscribed on the marinr "Dedieated to the Puturn." I had hoped that those of you iriio are oiiftimiliar with the intBrlor of the JOC would paoae at the capaula site and then wander around the kMiy. Theie'a alot to aee. In one directioo, an art ahow, aome ezbibita pertaining to Jewiahhoiklays and then, there's the Federation library it one shoukl change patha. In other directions, there is plenty to see. An amazing nmaeum eotaUiahad by tli* Nebraska Jewiah Hiatorical Society, wan plaques providing a historical record of volunteers who have been eelected for honors, and if you keep g^ag—^sopaM of Omahana and their Uvee. Now, let'e bade up to the main entrance where there ia aomethhig new on a walL At Uiia kwatkm.

Now, we can step back from the JCC and look at the Jewish canqiua irith a wide angle view. The time capsule alerts us to the year 2027 and, iteelf, is "Dedkated to the Future."

To the Editor I want to personally thank the Federation for sdecting Temple larad's Caring program for the Community Svvice Award. It is, inttoed, an honor for Tensile Israd and thoee individuals who haw lovins^y participated in the activities of tlie committee. The first "muat" for a succeesful Caring Committee is a motivated and committed rabbi who givee wiOingiy of hia time. Rabbi Aryeh Azrid certainly fulfills ti^se qualifications and sharee in this honor. Defeated and "caring" chainaen, co-chairmen, anid committee members make up the strength of the Car^ ing Committee.

Counctrs puppeteer inspires students By DUae Azlar Bam Punwteer Trish Place came away from a recent ymk'a residency at Priedel Jewish Academy with a clear sense that evciyaiw benefited from the experience. Students found pupetry satisfying and atimulating; teachers gained new insights into students' feelings and personalities; and parents saw talent and ci^Mbility they had never eqieoted from their chOdren. Mrs. Race said. The residency, made possible by a grant from the Nebraska Arts Council's Artists-in-Schools/ Commimities program, allowed Mrs. Place the time to ahow the FJA atndemts how to cr«^ and perf(»rm withmqipeta.

Jack Donelly, Ralston theater director, said he hopedT to accurate^ recreate Uie rituatitm of the Franks' hiding place but also "to continue the important lesson of remembering the Holocaust." "Not only is the Holocaust a fact that most Americans would like to 'put behind them,' but there is also a heinous movemmt among white supremacists to actually deny that it took place. A 10-minute newsreel of Hitldr's rise to power "as a reminder of a country where the insane are the leaders," plus a display of books and pamfriileta disputing the reality of the Hok)nust are Itaduded in Mr. Donally'a educational package. In addition, Mr. DoneUy wiD play a videotape of "Never Forget." the story of a man who took on the white supremacists and had a United States Court declare the traMty of the Holocaust. Ralston High School is kwated at 00th and Park Drive; tkduts win be available at the door.

The Harrises left Omaha in 1947 when Ncan's retail department store career took them to a dozen dties inchiding Sso Paulo, BraziL Since 1965, the couple has lived in San Diego in s contemporary style home they painstaldn^y designed themselvee. It seems to grow right out of the rock mountain into which it is built. Bemice's interest in American Indian pottery started in 1967 when she took a trip with a group of women to the Southwest She became so enamored with native American art that she wanted toahare the experimce wita ho' husband. After extensively researching Southwest Indian art, thay made their firet important purchase in 1976. This first object waa a bowl made by the moet famous of all Indian potters, Maria MartinsE of the San Iklefonao puebk> in New Mexico. She is credited with reviving the ancient art of pottery making in the early 19008. Maria achieved international acclaim for her woik. Recently one of her okier pisoee, two feet high.

Rejecting the potter's wheel, which was unknown to their anceetors, tiiese native American artists mostly Use an ancient method, of making their pots, the handnroUed coil technique. Instead of using an dectric kib, almost all their pottcnr is fired (m the ground, nsmg dried animal dung as a primary fuel al(»ig wiUi woods and cedar tinder. "The only purely American art form." noted Norm, "each pot is one of a kind, becnise all are made by hand. Native American potteiy in an expression <rf the history of the oldest race in the world. Archeologically, American Indians predate any other race on earth. The pottery technique is handed down from one generation to the next."

Ballet daaccrs. Cnpi left JoUe QrtenUU. Beth Kata. Sarah Hafnl. Meghan McConb and Mary HBL I attended the Omaha ballet last week. It was wonderful, but those dancera would be hard-preeaed when put vp against a group of young teens and teenagers I met during a rehearsal at the Jewish Community Center. These girb wore the same ragged t-shirts with faoee aiid writing on th«n that all ol you aeem to prefer these daya. But instead of the clasaic blue jeans wtth the holes at the knaea, pink leotarda covered their legs and tennis shoes ware rqdaoed by balkt ahoea. This group of 17 dancera had tremendqua energy as thegr kaped across t)M siage. I oookl hear the counting and the soft thuds as they twirled and turned. The giris take thefr dandng aeriously. Most want to pursue careers in danee. Sarah Raful, a seventh grader at Beveridge Junior High, told me shis want to own her own dance studio some day; Theee dancers are old hands at the ins and outs of picking out ths rig^t leotard*. Moet have been dancing ainoa they wen five or six yaara okL On Mondag^a and Thurad^ya they rush home to do their homework or wait unta after class tp tackle it.
