Rill To Ban Pig Breeding:
Approved in Knesset
1st Reading:
JERUSALEM, (JTA) —Israel’s
Parliament approved this week
a first reading of a bill to ban
pig breeding and the sale of pork
in Israel. The vote was 41 to 19
with five abstentions.
The Knesset then sent the bill
to committee for a final polish
ing and it will be submitted to
the Knesset for the second and
third readings required for en
actment.
The measure, which exempts
the Nazareth area from .the ban
because that area is inhabited
largely by Israel’s Christian-
Arab population, differs from a
1955 law on the same topic in
that it makes violation an of
fense The earlier law empow
ered only local authorities to
pass anti-pig breeding laws and
55 of Israel’s 151 local authori
ties did legislate on the matter.
In another issue of religious
law, the Knesset defeated an
Agudat Israel motion to debate
flights of El Al, the Israel Na
tional Airline, from New York
on the Sabbath. The National
Religious Party, with the excep
tion of veteran Rabbi Mordecai
Nurok, abstained from the vote
which was 35 against and 18 for
the motion.

100 Scholarships
DAR ES SALAAM. Tanganyi
ka, (JTA) — Israel has offered
Tanganyika 100 scholarships as
an Independence Day gift to the
newly independent African
country, General Moshe Dayan,
Israel’s Minister of Agriculture,
announced here this week.
The Israeli Cabinet member
conveyed the offer to Prime

called on the Prime Minister to
extend greetings from the Gov
ernment and people of Israel.
“We have agreed in negotia
tions with your Government to
train a number of your young
men and women,” Gen. Dayan
said.
He added that training would
be provided in agriculture, in
dustry, public administration,
community development and
medicine. Through the program,

eye diseases and “we hope to
help you in the building of your
pioneering training center and to

SENIOR ““ws 1 ’
by HARRY ROSE
The scene, Jewish Community
Center; date, December 31, 1961,
Time 11:59 Scene a little old
bent-over man leaves by the
west door mumbling, “I did
everything I could in 1961.” The
door to the north opens and a
little cherub in diapers swishes
into the main auditorium and all
bedlam breaks loose—Little 1962,
smiling, full of life and ready
to Tackle any jofl assigned to
him, breaks into the hearts of
nearly 100 members of the Sen
ior Friendship Club, assembled
to usher out the old year and
welcome in 1962.
The 160 other members are on
other scenes, in home environ
ments, local restaurants and
other special functions, but in
/the hearts of all members of
Senior Friendship comes the true
meaning of the title of the Club
-“Friendshi p” — for it has
brought just that to hundreds of
individuals—a greater sense of
joy when it was needed most.
The New Year’s Eve gathering
at AJCC was a last-minute
thought for only about thirty-
five members. But before any
one could say “hey,” it snow
balled into 100 and found Jen
nie Tinkle and Morris Brown,
and his good right arm Bessie
Brown, caught with the pro
verbial “right guard down.” But
they arose to the occasion. Bes
sie Brown, who had undertaken
to furnish the “eats,” just work
ed a little harder. Morris and
Jennie worked like beavers too—
result, one of the happiest occa
sions that could be remembered
in years.
Many of the other clnl^ mem
bers, attending private (dinners
and functions, dropped in to wish
“A Happy New Year” and ex
press the great delight of just
knowing each other. A palatable
repast was served. Entertain
ment and dancing were the order
of the evening. Looks like future
New Year Eves will become a
real get-together-affair.
The December Birthday Party,
honoring 32 birthday recipients,
drew an audience of 200 mem
bers and friends. Each birthday
celebrant was introduced by
President Louis Shapiro and
made a few remarks.
New York visitors at the meet
ing of SFC on December 28, had
the opportunity to see the mem
bership pass the hours in fun
and recreation, that is the usual
procedure all year around—but
to visitors it appears to be a
real novelty to see “Seniors” en
joying themselves as if they
were “Juniors.” Visitors includ
ed Mi and Mrs. Bernard Alport
and their two daughters, the
family of Charles and Bertha
Alpert, who have enjoyed long
membership in SFC. Mr. and
Mrs. D. Perlman and Mrs. B.
Breslan, also of New York City,
were in attendance. A very
hearty “Thank you" to Julie
Stein, Jennie Towers and Jennie
Tinkle for “your liberal cash
donations to SFC. Thanks so
much ladies.” ,
New members welcomed were
Bertha Rich, Arthur Sofsky,
Julius Kohn, Oscar Bilfeld, Rose
Farlane, Sarah and Joseph Toub,
Mr, and Mrs. Samuel Weiss, Ben
jamin and Edith Franklin, Mrs.-
Jacob Polsky, Bertha and Lillian
Lee, Anna Feldsmesser, David
and Yetta Gertner and Jennie
Golpe. '
Sidney Ross, author of the
book “Problems of Older People”
was at our last meeting. The
author had heard so much about
SFC that he wanted to get a
real close-up He is now writ
ing a second book, “How to En
joy Your Later Years.” Senior
Friendship has a real true and
workable recipe for “just this
type of advice.”
William and Ada Marx arrived
in the Sunshine City and many
hearts are happier because of
this. Ada Marx is the associate
Musical Director of Senior*
Friendship Orchestra which has
been “pulling at the bit” await
ing her arrival She will make
her first appearance of the year
at the Club on Thursday, Jan
25, when the orchestra debuts
its “concert” appearance. The
orchestra has played for the
various shows and entertainment
and is composed of Ada Marx,
pianist Emanuel Ward, accordi
onist; Helen Birkhahn, first
violinist; Harry Rose, second
violinist; Richard Carlin, man
dolin; Louis Daum, harpist; and
Ann Cohen, snare drums.
The second half of the Jan
uary Program of SFC will be an
exciting one as Monday, Jan. 15,
will present “A Trip Around The
World,” colored motion pictures,
to be presented by Louis Eisner.
On Jan 18, SFC will offer its
new No. 4 “Sing Along” song
book, comprising 40 good old
songs of the days gone by. Al
bert Zatlin, a member of SFC
Barber Shop Quartet will lead
this songfest. Richard Carlin will
teach an art class, beginning at
3 p.m. On Monday, Jan. 22 the
Discussion Group will hear Ber
nard Liebowitz, executive direc
tor of the Jewish Community
Council—the trend of the talk is
entitled “A Timely Subject”.
A1P types of recreation will fol
low, including a bridge lesson
class conducted by Aida Up
right. Jan. 25, concert by Sen
ior Friendship Orchestra. On
Monday, Jan 28 twenty-eight
birthdays will be celebrated.
