The protestors were greeted at Parliament Field by Mitchell Sharp, Minister of Foreign Affairs, who told them, "This is a very impressive demonstration that will not go unheeded in Canada or anywhere in the world. I know that all of you here believe that if the principal of human dignity will be upheld, whether it Is a question of Jews or non-Jews, human dignity must.be respected." At the demonstration later at the Soviet Embassy. Sidney Harris, speaking for the CJC, said that "the interest in the fate of Russian Jews will continue as long as the Soviet Union does not respect the human rights, and the rights of human beings to leave their country and go elsewhere in accordance with the principle of human
rights incorporated in the Charter of the United Nations to which the Soviet Union is a signatory." •
Buenos Aires Protest BUENOS AIRES (JTA)-Some 1,200 persons, many of them former Nazi concentration camp inmates, carrying placards reading "Let my people go" and "Free emigration to Israel" concentrated before the Soviet Embassy shouting "Assassins, assassins" and "Freedom, freedom" while police mounted a strong guard to prevent their approach to the building. The demonstrators then marched 20 blocks, escorted by police cars, to Kehilla Hall where an overflow mass meeting took place. The president of DAIAS, Cohen Imach, stressed that not clemency but justice was being asked for the Leningrad 11 and freedom for tl»c three million Soviet Jews.

Back From Israel e By Bennett Greenspan Omaha—Many people travel to Israel and return with a variety of experiences and impressions, I have just returned from my second visit to Israel with remarkably different impressions from that of my first trip, some of which I would like to share with you. I was a member of a United Jewish Appeal ten-day study mission in Israel. It was a trip I shall never forget; an intensely serious, intellectual and. emotional experience. F r o m the cold night we spent on the Jordanian border, to our tour of an Israeli Air Force base and the Bar Lev Line at the Suez Canal, there were experiences that touched everyone on the tour. But more than these dramatic .non-personal experiences were tlie personal
parts of my trip that left lasting Impression for me. The first came at Kibbutz Kfar Ruppin, the scene of very heavy shelling by Arab terrorists. We arrived during the day and went to see the small children, many of whom were playing outside in the sun. We were just 30 feet from the childrens' night home—the shelters. I've read many times about the Israeli children who have never slept above the ground. But seeing the small windowless shelters I was suddenly struck with the stark reality of the situation. Inside the shelters, the children had decorated the walls with pictures. Chanukah decorations, symbols of the first fight for religious fre"eU&m, were present. But screams in the night are not a thing of the
Kill 2 Israeli Children TEL AVIV (JTA)—Israeli military authorities have sealed off a 20-square-mile area of the northern Gaza Strip and placed it under a 24-hour curfew as a search went on for the terrorists who threw a hand grenadeinto a motor car killing two Israeli children and seriously injuring their mother.'Tlie incident occurred on the main Gaza road. The grenade attack is believed toJiave come from one of the refugee camps that dot the countryside along the Gaza-Tel Aviv highway. An upsurge of terrorist activity was reported along the northern frontier over the weekend. An Israeli soldier was wounded in a clash with; guerrillas. Katyusha shells were fired at Kiryat Shemona near the. Lebanese border. No casualties were reported but several buildings were damaged. Bazooka shells were iired at Israeli positions and patrols in the Golan Heights. Mortar shells were fired at Metullah village and Kibbutz Yiftah. There were no reports of casualties or damage. Israeli military circles attributed the Golan attacks'^terrorist.'gangs based, in Syria, \ operating with the consent of the SyrianArmy,' ! I. . , ; . ' , ' . . ; , . ,
past. The children frequently have nightmares as a result of the frequent shelling by the terrorists. At the Suez Canal we spoke with an officer, second in command of the Israeli base at Kantara. He was only 22 years old, younger than several of the students on our tour. After a few questions had been asked of him, it was clear to all of us that he hated the job he had to do. All he wanted was to go home, back to Tel Aviv and attend the University. A member of our g r o u p asked "If the military situation were as it is now, but if Israel had no draft, what would you do?" . He put his Uzi down to his side and said simply, "All Israel, is in this struggle together." Then came the m o s t touching part of my trip, for no one asked nor needed a definition of the word "Israel." We understood.

Mother in Israel Pleads For Reunion with Family New York (JTA)—The American Jewish Committee made "public a plea by a 70-year-old woman pediatrician who lives on a kibbutz in Israel, in which she asks Soviet authorities for the 28th time to allow her sick daughter, the latter's ill husband and their two children to" leave Russia and to join her in Israel. - In releasing" the document, Philip E. Hoffman, president of the AJ Committee pointed out that the denial of permission for this family to be reunited wa_s in direct contradiction of the pledge of Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin, who in Dec. 1966, in Paris, asserted that "with respect to reunions of families, if some families want to meet, or if they want to leave the Soviet Union, then the road is open and no problems exist in this respect." Hoffman added that this case, though particularly heart-rending, was unfortunately typical of hundreds of similar pleas that bad gono unanswered.

Jewish Agencies Report More Families Getting Aid New York (JTA)—A 30 percent increase in the niftnbcr of families receiving "assistance from Jewish family agencies in the United States and Canada over the past ten years was reported in the "1970 Yearbook of Jewish Social Service," compiled and published by the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds. •" ' According to Alvin Chenkin, supervisor of the CJFW's statistic units, the number of families receiving financial assistance only has remained constant during the decade although the number" receiving general aid has risen dramatically. In 1969, the Yearbook noted, more than 74,000 families received assistance from 61 Jewish agencies, an increase of 2.5 percent over 1968. But only 2000 families received direct financial assistance, in the amount of $2,5 million in 1969, a one percent rise over direct financial assistance in 1960. •

Mrs. Molotov broke in, "Oh, no, no, that's not good—Stalin doesn't lil.e that." Their own collectivization, of c o u r s e , when they had tried to put their peasants in Kolkhozes, had failed so miserably. Well, by this time, the people around her, "faking care" of her in public, suggested that she should return.to her guests back there in Ihe holy of holies, -the little room. So we went back, but in parting she turned (o me and my daughter with tears In her eyes, and said, "May it be-well with you—II . it will be well with you, it will -be well with all Jews oi_the_ world." J guess it shouldn't have surprised me, but she never again said a word to me, never called me or contacted me. I used to say to my people at the em;sy, if this had happened in any other counlry, a meeting of two women like that, she would have called me up the next day, saying come and "have tea, or come have lunch. But there was nothing, I never heard of her again. Years later in New York, after Stalin's death, I ran into some American friends from those Moscow days. Did I know what had happened to Mrs. Molotov after that -dramatic meeting in the Kremlin? I certainly did not, and they told me, "She was sent away for two-years." And later there was 'confirmation of this from Svetlana, Stalin's daughter in her first book. She wrote about Mrs. Molotov being arrested—she doesn't give the reason, but the timing of our meeting and her disappearance fits together perfectly.

PAUL VERET MOURNED We were all deeply grieved to learn of the death of Paul Veret. He was not only a dedicated servant of Jewish life, but an individual of deep humanity and fine impulses. The loss is not only Omaha's, but will be much more widely felt. Please convey our deepest sympathy to the members of his family as well as to the officers and staff of the Federation. Isaiah M. Minkoff Executive Vice Chairman National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council We were deeply saddened by the passing of your esteemed ' executive vice president, Paul Veret. •,.••-. It was our privilege to work with'Mr. Veret for many years, and we found him to be most helpful and sympathetic to the cause of assistance to Jewish refugees and migrants. We shall miss his guidance and counsel. The officers and Board of Directors of United Hias Service extend condolences on the great loss that your community has suffered. Harold Friedman, President United Hias Service The officers, members of the Board of Directors and staff of the^National Jewish Welfare oard join me in noting with profound sadness the passing of Paul Veret, a distinguished leader in Jewish communal service. ^ Many of us were privileged to be associated with Mr. Veret over the years and admired him for his dedicated service as Executive Director of the Jewish Federation of Omaha. We were also most appreciative of his contributions to Jewish culture and education, including the establishment of a comprehensive .library of Judaica and related audio-visual materials. These exemplify his outstanding qualities of professional leadership. While his death has particular meaning for his family and community, it is a loss which is shared by the entire field of Jewish communal service. Morton L. Mandel, President National'Jewish Welfare Board SCRAP METAL DRIVE I am a freshman member of A.Z.A. chapter 1. In connection with the Freshman week end to be sponsored by our club in early February, we are conducting a scrap metal drive. We urge everyone to participate in this campaign. Millions of tons of metals are used by U. S. industries and consumers each year. This metal must be mined from the earth, smelted, and purified, and made into suitable materials -for m a n u f a c h i r i n g . Many tons of manufactured items, once used, are thrown away by consumers to be disposed of in sanitary landfills, dumps which are a detriment and eyesore to our community. •• This wastefulness cannot be allowed to continue, or in a few years there will be no ore to mine and we will be forced to mine the landfills. In addition, both the mining and sanitary disposal industries cause ah* and water pollution, You are part of this problem. The solution is recycling.,To collect used metal and return it to the smelting plants for re-
processing and re-use. This was effectively done in America during World War Two. This policy must be reinstated for our society to continue its present form of existence. ' Therefore, A.Z.A.-l has decided that the best way we can serve our community, planet, and species is to reinstitute a scrap metal drive in Omaha. Here is what YOU can do: beginning now, do not throw away any metals. Remove paper labels from cans, wash out thoroughly, and smash flat. (In the case of vegetable and soup cans this may necessitate removing the top and' the bottom.) Determine what kind of metal.it is. This can be done with a magnet. If it is magnetic, it is iron or a steel product. If it is not magnetic, it is probably aluminum. Put the cans (and any other waste metal, junk, old toys, etc.) into two containers (like p a p e r sacks) one for 'magnetic ma-
terials and one for non-magnetje. " AZA I will be picking up metal after school, probably around the last week in January and the first week in February. After sorting, it will be sold to Great Western Iron and Scrap Metal Company for recycling. Larry Cohen and myself are chairmen of this community service project. Anyone interested in participating in this effort should contact us. Let us know if you will be saving metal for us and we will make arrangements to pick it up at your convenience." Please help us in this effort to make the world a better in which to live. David Gcndlcr . 1115 North GO Omaha, Nebraska 556-7648 Larry Cohen 1701 South 61 Avc. Omaha, Nebraska 556-3571

the same storm may be responsible for a bumper crop of cases hitting the divorce courts in the next few weeks. Those hardy family members who came through the period of "togetherness," still on s p e a k i n g terms, show the strength of character that make them the real heroes of the' blizzard. A spot check of a few families around town indicates that similar patterns were followed in most homes. All television sets and radios were on' full blast. Five layers of reading material covered all available floors. There was. a constant parade to the kitchen for a minimum of 18 meals and/or snacks—and that was in the first three hours of the first day! Some parents who had longed"7™ for the chance to communicate with their teenage c h i l d r e n , grabbed at this unique opportunity. Those teenagers had the . unenviable choice of wading through the depth of parental advice indoors or shoveling the depth of the snow outside. Some kids are just mean to be losers. At our house we survived the ordeal without too many scars. I spent a lot of time worrying • about how the paper would get '" V out when (1) I couldn't get to the office and (2) even if I got to the office, what would I do' since mail wasn't being delivered!

"' We t o o k turns shoveling snow, and since I've always been a self-sacrificing mother type, I gave up all my turns to equally self-sacrificing children who loudly protested my generosity. We slept a lot, read a lot and ate a lot—which brings me to the point of this whole column. Remember the list of New Year's Resolutions I had for all of you last week?
