xeifes "Tell us more about the new Federation sponsored C a m p Esther K. Newman" is the allin-one query of enthusiastic parents encountering Camp Committee Chairman Edward Brodkey. The camp which opens officially on June 30 is an organized program whicli is carefully supervised and provides an outof-door summer experience for children. "Pride of C'qmiminity" "The questions stems from the overwhelming interest and pride of the community in our new camp," Mr. Brodkey,- declared. Some parents' want to hear about the leadership which will supervise their children's camping experience said Mr. Brodkey, "we will announce the counselor list soon, but everyone on the staff is selected on the basis of abilities, understanding, and liking of children, skill and leadership, and their enjoyment of the out-of-doors. The importance of leadership is never Underestimate i. Minimum age for counselors is 19 and two years of college while those with graduate degrees are preferred. Diversified Program '•The camp program itself is diversified to meet.the needs and intrest of the children", Mr. Brodkey pointed out. "Living in the out-of-doors, nature, crafts, sports, dramatics, swimming, horseback riding are just a few of the activities to be available."

The shy child can derive a great deal from his camp activities by being encouraged to participate in programs and tlius assume further assurance and confidence in his abilities. The children, all will acquire new skills, and gain above all a new awareness of democracy and of their Jewish heritage." 2nd Period Almost Filled Many parents obviously feel that our new Ksther K. Newman Camp will provide their children with an ideal summer's experience, Edward Brodkey stated, as our early enrollment has been outstanding. Only a few openings remain for the second session of the camping season while way over half, of the registrations are in for the other two camping periods. It would be wise to enroll for the camp now, Brodkey commented, to insure a place in this season's camping program If registrations keep coming in as fast as they have been, the complete enrollment of the camp will be reached within three weeks. Further particulars .jn the tamp and its program may bo •secured by calling the Camp Office at 342-1:166, Brodkey concluded.

8er. fWear Work Depicted by Engineer Wfio Left iasser Job Munich, CJTA)—Large groups of German scientists and engineers are working on non-conventional armament programs in Egypt, thereby 'violating Germany's basic law" which forbids postwar Germany to undertake any actions "designed to disturb the peace or the full co-existence of nations or to prepare war of aggression," a noted B r i t i s h journalist, Sefton Delmer, reported here after* interview witli a German engineer who has just resigned from the Egyptian projects. The projects employ "leading Nazis who are helping Gamel Abdel Nasser with a plan to liquidate the survivors of Hitler's terror and the State they built in Palestine," Mr. Delmer stated. The engineer who insists on anonymity, was until two months ago, a member of a team of 300 German aircraft technicians working under Hitler's ace aircraft designer, Prof. Willy Messerschmitt. He said, "I felt it was morally and politically indefensible for Germans to be associated with this enterprise, which one day, is bound to end in conflict with Israel, in view of our special situation witli regard to Jewry." In Jerusalem, it was reported, that Israel does not intend to reduce its pressure on the Bonn Government to stop German nuclear experts working in Egypt.
