are mighty proud of these young
people who gave their time to
such a worthwhile cause.

Intra-Faith Social
The first Jewish Intra-Faith
Social planned by a committee
of volunteers from all three
temples took place at the Jewish
Community Center on Saturday
evening, January 13th. It was a
great success, Close to 150 peo
ple attended and participated in
various activities designed to
bring the Jewish community
closer tog«ther. All three
temples were well represented.
Dancing to the music of
Murray Rosen, fun and gaming
under the direction of emcee Leo
Hoffman, and fressing copious
amounts of bagels accompanied
by the usual spreads were the
order of the evening. .
Insofar as fostering better'
intra-faith relations were con-
cerncd, much was ac-
like a baby tiakingits first steps.
Tliere will be a continuing
program to 'make the steps
stronger and firmer. Continued
community' interest" and par
ticipation are to be encouraged.
Arabs Ban Contest
With Israel
Arab competitors will refuse
to meet Israelis in any sport in
volving direct physical contact
at the 1980 Moscow Olympics, a
leading Arab sports official said
in Bangkok.
Shaikh Fahed Al-Ahmad Al-
Sabah, leader of the Kuwait
delegation at the Asian Games
said Arab nations had decided
not to compete at Moscow with
the Israelis in “direct physical
confirontations like football or
feninng.”
He added that the Arabs
would compete with the Israelis
in other sports ‘*such as
athletics where there wW be
several other countries in
volved.”
Shaikh Fahed said other
Asian countries might support .
the Arab position,, but this
would be left to individual
nations.
Boycott
Shaikh Fahed’s conmients
came the day after it was dis
closed that the Asian Games
Federation (AGF) had decided
that there would be a total Asian
boycott of the Moscow Olympics
if any Asian athlete was barred
by the International Amateur
Athletics Association (LAAF).
The IAAF refused to sanction
the Asian Games track and
warned that athletes competing
here might be banned firom
future international events, in
cluding the Olympics.
A Bit of Humor
You can’t fool all of the people
all of the time but those
highway interchange signs
come pretty close.
Blessed are the meek for they
shall inherit the earth-less 40%
inheritance tax.
“Dear Dad: Thing$ are pretty
good here at $chool, but they
could be better. $some thing$
are needed mo$t de$perately. I
hope you can gue$$ what I mean
and $end $ome $oon. Your lov
ing $on.”
“Dear Son: NOthing is new
here. I kNOw that you are doing
better NOw than you have been.
Write aNOther letter soon. I
want to get this off in the NOon
mail, so I’ll sign off NOw. Love,
Dad.”
A man should never be
ashamed to own he has been in
the wrong, which is but saying
in other words, that he is wiser
today than he was yesterday.

Anti-Semitic Slurs
MIAMI — Constitutional
freedom of speech is no defense
against anti-Semitic slurs, it
was ruled by a Court of Appeals
judge who confirmed the action
of officials of Jackson Memorial
Hospital in demoting a super
visor of dietitians for casting
slurs against a Jewish employee
in her department.
The supervisor was accused of
making remarks to staff dieti
tian Ronnie Korschun such as:
•“You know about Jews, Mrs.
Korschun. They are pushy and
aggrressive.”
•“Did you ever see all those lit
tle old Jews on Miami Beach?
They are so shrivelled up...
What is it that all Jews shrink
like that?”
•“All Jews have money. Look
at you... Your husband is a
millionaire.”
Hospital officials demoted the
supervisor, Gloria Fuller, two
ranks and her salary was cut for
violating a work rule against
“rude, antagonistic or offensive
conduct toward supervisors,
fellow employees or to the
public.”
Mrs. Fuller sued and was sup
ported by the courts for recovery
of her lost salary although by
then she had been reinstated.
The hospital appealed, leading
to the present decision by Judge
Philip Hubbart of the Third Ehs-
trict Court of Appeals.
Mrs. Korschun has long since
left the employ of the hospital
and when advised of the new
decision by the court of appeal
expressed surprise.
The court noted that Mrs.
Fuller is a Negro, but stated that
this was no excuse. .

State and up to its 30th anniversary of independence, there
have been 8,858,000 tourists who visted' the country, accord
ing to information pubUshed by the Central Statistical
Bureau. Since the Six Day War of 1967 until the present, the

Hare Krishna
Cultists
By Arthur Kemelman
and Aryeh Rubinstein
Jerusalem Post Reporters
Tel Aviv police are question
ing two members of the Hare
Krishna sect, investigating
complaints that the group per
suades minors to change their
religion and violates marriage
and compulsory education laws.
Interior Minister Yosef Burg
told the Knesset last week that a
member of the sect has been told
by police that minors will not be
permitted to enter two Tel Aviv
flats the Hare Krishna people
use for worship.
It is assumed that the
minister was referring to the
powers given to the police under
the recently enacted anti
missionary law, which allows
them to act on the strength of a
complaint from the parent of a
minor. It is unclear, however,
whethier this has been done in
coordination with the attorney-
general, who has to approve any
use of this law in practice.
He was replying to a motion '
for the agenda by Likud MK
Yitzhak Yitzhaki. Yitzhaki told
the House of the case of a 14-
year-old girl, an outstanding
pupil in a prestigious North Tel
Aviv school, who joined the sect
two months ago. She was
brainwashed, he said, left
school, and is due to be married
on Saturday to the head of the
sect — who has some 20,000
wives, Yitzhaki said.
Burg said that the police were
aware of the problem raised by
Yitzhaki, and would do their
duty. But they could not be ex
pected to take the place of
parents, who have the main
responsibility for educating and
looking after their children.
Complaints have also been
received about fictitious
marriages taking place to allow
minors to sleep with adult
members of the sect, police said.
Last week police raided two
apartments used by the Hare
Krishna people on Rehov
Hayarkon and Rehov Weiz-
mann in Tel Aviv. A 28-year-old
Israeli was arrested at the first
address and a 24-year-old
American who had married a
14-year-old girl according to the
sect’s rituals at the second.
