' It Is not a man's world, nor a woman's world, but a ' human world, desperately in need of human solutions. Our tradition has taught us that compassion plays the major role. Ever since the Federation was formed In the early 1900's women have been the link in the chain of concern for the child, the youth, the aged, the poor and the dlsadvantaged. As volunteers and professionals, women have enriched the agencies, and in turn nave been enriched by them. Today's woman has a new awareness that she is an individual with full rights to make choices affecting the quality of her life and the lives of others. There has never been a time more hospitable to talent and capacity. Women are the focus for creative change... to lead., .to Influence. . . t o uplift the heart and to set the tempo to the rhythm of life." "These words were written by a group of Cleveland women for a skit for their Federation," said Marlene Hechtroan, who, along with Mickey Sturm, has been named co-chairman of the Women's Division of the 1977 Omaha Jewish Philanthropies Campaign. . . •> "We tblnk they say it all — and say what the campaign is all about for us this year," the co-chairmen explain.

Tax Reform Act Affects Philanthropic Giving NEW YORK- The Tax Reform Act of 1976, signed Into law Oct. 4,1976, will have an effect on charitable giving, according to a release which has been distributed by the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds. The interpretation of the Tax Reform Act, written by Norman A. Sugarman, Indicates that there are specific provisions, which affect charitable gifts and the operations of charitable organizations, although the tax bill was not intended as a vehicle for tax changes-affecting philanthropy. Sugarman notes that .there are positive

and negative aspects to the Tax Reform Act of 1076 and that careful attention should be given to it in any financial or tax planning. "Charitably inclined Individuals and organizations should particularly note that Congress has continued its policy of encouraglng charitable giving and in some situations has provided additional incentives for private philanthropy under the Act," Sugarman concludes. It Is suggested that persons wishing additional and more specific information regarding the effect of this law seek advice from an attorney.

Mike Albert Sees Himself as a Doer By Janls Fischer v OMAHA — "I am an active person, not reactive. When something needs doing, I do it.. Just talking about a problem never solves it, acting upon It usually does." So gays Mlcttael L e w i s Albert, 'declared candidate for mayor of the city of Omaha. Albert entered the political game in 1974. "I was emotionally disturbed by what was happening In this country, I had some ideas, I felt they could work in our community. He ran' for county commissioner, and won. "Now that the job of mayor Is available, I'd like to be able to put my efforts towards helping thecity," he explained. Albert wants to fix up downtown Omaha. "Remodeling, restoring, rebuilding; it's necessary, It must be done." Albert feels we can bring new industry to town, create jobs. Omaha will benefit and the people of Omaha will benefit. The. city must be fiscally responsible, like a well-run business. "There will be no d e a l s , no b r i b e s , no underhanded schemes in my administration", Albert said emphatically. Me believes that if the city's projects are good, administrative handling of those projects will be good. Albert plans to keep the mayor's door off. He wants to listen to the people, know and act upon what the people want for their Omaha.-If elected, he plans to have a series of "breakfast with the mayor" meetings, every two weeks in different areas of the city, to meet with the residents, ''get to know them • and their needs." ' . ., Among tOth'er^things, If elected, Albert wants to broaden the tax base while not cutting services. He plans to ' take a "real hard look at city government to see if there are savings that can be generated within the administration." Mike Albert Is not originally from Omaha, he chose to live here. He was born and raised In Sioux City In an Orthodox home/He left to attend the University of Pennsylvania, Wbarton, where he was a

Michael L.Albert member of Zeta Beta Tau fraternity. In 1959 he married a Jewish girl from Kingston, Jamaica. They had two children, Debra, now 15, and Mark, 14. When his wife passed away in 1964, he brought his family to Omaha to live. "I looked around — Minneapolis, Denver, Kansas City, Sioux City, L.A.; I liked Omaha best," he said with a smile and shrug of his shoulders. He opened a food brokerage firm here, met and married Rita, from Chicago, and they have a seven year old son, David. The Alberts are members of Temple Israel. Mike belongs to B'nal B'rith. He has served on ADL and Philanthropies committees. There is a plaque at the Center which bears his family's name. When asked how and if his religion affects his career In politics Albert replied, "I am comfortable and proud of my Jewish identity. Judaism gives me a peace of mind, a Consciousness,, a mutual . respect for others." A strong supporter of Israel,

Modernaires Plan New Year's Dance OMAHA-The Modernaires Dance Club is holding a New Year's Eve dance which is open to the public. Cocktails will be served at 9 p.m. followed by dancing at 10 p.m. to the Wayne McDermott Band. Breakfast Is included In the $25 charge per couple.

"financially, morally and philosophically,11 Albert cons i d e r s that country - a "dynamic phenomenon." "But we Jews must keep our pride In JuHalsm never feel ashamed of It, we can never let history repeat itself." Religion of Omaha's other Jewish candidates has not been an issue and Albert says he assumes it will not come up during this campaign for mayor. But, he says, "I've never been so proud— we are the only community in the United States to have had a Jewish county commissioner and a Jewish mayor at the same time." He quoted a portion of the Adoration ffom the prayerbook that he received from his Bar Mitzvah, (which he always carries with him) "May the time not be distant, "0 God, when Thy name shall be worshipped in all the earth, when unbelief shall disappear and error be no more. We fervently pray that the day may come when all men shall invoke Thy name, when'corruption and evil shall give way to purity and goodness, when superstition shall no longer enslave the mind, nor Idolatry blind the eye, when all inhabitants of the earth shall know that to Thee alone every knee must bend, and every tongue give homage." ' And so believes Michael Lewis Albert, candidate for mayor.
