Newspaper Page Textr«p Nlneteea Friday, September 9, 1966 THE SOCTHERN ISRAELITE •<3> ATLANTA JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER 1745 PeacbtrM SL, N.E., Atlanta, 6a. 30309 AJCC News Look for thli weekly to keep in formed about AJCC programs. For detail# not covered call: TR. 5-7881 CENTER WISE By Frank Fierman Executive Director What does Ben Gurion Think About — When he’s standing on his head? Many of you have noticed that a rather large amount of space on our AJCC Page for the past two weeks has been given to our ad vertising our forthcoming Yoga classes at the Center. I confess that I felt uncomfortable about this possibly because of the lack of Jewish content in a Yoga class. I want you to know that I feel much better now. Last week I enjoyed the privilege of being in the company of our new Consul General Zev Boneh and his associate from the Washington Embassy, Mr. Benad Avital. In the course of a very pleasant chat, I asked about the health of David Ben Gurion who is soon to celebrate his 80th birthday. Mr. Avital proceeded to tell me that Mr. Ben Gurion, kina- horrah, was in excellent good health; in fact in much better health than when he was a mere 60-65 years of age. At that time he complained of many of the aches and pains one associates with retirement age. Fortunately however, he came under the influence of a prominent Israeli physicist who took him in hand and taught him Yoga and proceeded to initiate him to a pro gram of walking and running five miles each day. As a result I was assured that he, today, is in excellent health and physical con dition. So, dear member, what has worked for Mr. Ben Gurion can benefit you as well, and I hope to see many of you when our new Yoga classes begin this Fall.

Several years ago, a group of single people met at the Com munity Center, determined to formulate plans and goals for a successful club, in an attempt to meet the needs of that seg ment of the Atlanta Jewish com munity commonly referred as the “Single Adult.” That they have attained a great measure of success is obvious, due to the efforts and imaginative pro gramming of the dedicated “charter members” and the Cen ter’s professional staff. Thus, Sunday’s meeting be comes in effect a double cele bration — Welcome and good luck, Consul Boneh; congratu- tions and continued success, S.P-A.P.!

Men’s All-Star Softball Game Twenty four players repres enting all the teams in the lea gue, were divided into two teams to set the stage for the men’s all star softball game. Mound opponents saw young Joel Lobell against seasoned veteran Pete Morris. The game was won by the team captained by Fred Benamy by a score of 11-6. Captain Bernie Kahn’s team had a gol den opportunity to draw first blood when they loaded the bases with no one out in the first inning. Steady clutch pitch ing by Pete Morris, ably sup ported by fine fielding, got them out of the inning with no runs scored against them. In a wild third inning, Ben- amy’s all-stars put the game on ice with some solid hitting and when the dust settled they scored big runs. It was “catch up” from then on and Kahn’s team never could make it des pite a home run by Ken Schwartz. Herb Slotin finished up for Kahn’s team pitching well in the last few innings. Fielding stickouts were slick shortstop Stan Wells and cen ter fielder, Barry Berman. Participants in the game were from Bernie Kahn’s team: Ber nie Kahn, Mort Gilner, Ken Schwartz and Joel Lobell. Rep resenting Benamy’s Bulls were Fred Benamy, Jerry So be Ison, Bobby Ney and Larry Frank. From Moose’s Miees come Don “Moose” Miller, .Marvin Silver- tnan, Stan Wells, Dick Weisner and Jim Cloncy.
