St. Pete Windy but
Senior Friendship Club
Takes Hurricane in Stride
By HARRY ROSE
Hurricane Gladys raised havoc
with most of the Senior Citizens’
Clubs last week, as well as all
the public schools in Pinellas
County, which were closed as a
precaution.
However, 50 members of Senior
Friendship Club attended their
scheduled meeting, regardless of
the fact that the afternoon’s
“Sing Along” and “The Jewish
Cultural Hour” were not held.
The afternoon remained sunny
and the attending membership
played cards and enjoyed the day.
However, the storm was timed
a day late, as on Friday the hur
ricane came in with a fury and
while it passed up St. Petersburg
from damage, it did hit twenty
miles north of the City with all
its fury, 70-mile winds and ter
rific rains. No damage was suf
fered by the Jewish Community
Center Building.
The Jewish Community Center
is now displaying its latest im
provement — accordion-pleated
walls, which separate the card
room from the main auditorium.
The newest addition has been
long awaited and will meet a
tremendous need for the SF
Club, which has had to learn to
live and play together in one
large room. The card room itself
is also divided by accordion-
pleated walls and will be used
for board meetings of the various
Jewish Organizations associated
with the Center. Plans will soon
get under way for the enlarge
ment of the main auditorium,
which will increase the capacity
from 250 to 450 persons. This is
planned for sometime later in
the Fall of the year.
The Jewish Community Center
Workshop is presenting its latest
stage play “A Majority of One,”
which will be offered for three
performances on Oct. 26, 27 and
28. All performances are reported
“sold out.” Florine Handler will
appear in the leading role.
Florine is also a member of the
SF Club entertainment staff.
Samuel Lichenstein will re
sume the teaching of art once
monthly in the program of the
SF Club. He is a very efficient
artist in oils and has been as
sured of a large class made up
of members of the Club and
their friends. The first class will
be held in November.

Israeli Army Bans
Demonstrations,
Protest In Hebron
TEL AVIV (JTA) — The Is
raeli Army has banned all
demonstrations and mass meet
ings in Hebron to forestall a
planned demonstration by the so-
called Greater Israel Movement
outside the Patriarch’s Tomb
where 47 Israelis were injured
by a grenade explosion recently.
The move was an effort to avoid
further trouble in that tense
West Bank town. Israeli authori
ties however, did not interfere
with a march by several hundred
Arab high school girls through
the streets of Nablus yesterday
protesting the Israeli occupation.
The Greater Israel Movement
is made up of Israelis, several
public figures among them, who
maintain that Israel must hold
on permanently to the Arab
territories occupied in the June,
1967 war and incorporate them
into the state. It planned to
demonstrate in Hebron against
Arab terrorism and for Jewish
rights there. The school girls in
Nablus shouted slogans of loyalty
to President Gamal Abdel Nasser
pf Egypt.

in its membership due to its
popularity in recreations and en
tertainment now being offered
by the organization. Among the
latest to enroll in the past several
weeks are Margaret Culver, Rose
Einstein, Rose R. Goldman,
Eunice N. Herod, Victoria Jacob

Reform Leader
Denounces
‘Cop-Out 8*
NEW YORK (JTA) — A leader
of Reform Judaism rebuked “that
alarmingly large segment of the
electorate which seems deter
mined to counter its sense of
political hurt by not casting a
Presidential vote this year.” Rab
bi Maurice N. Eisendrath, presi
dent of the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations, in a
statement issued today, urged
Americans to observe “the
eleventh commandment — Thou
shalt not cop out.”
Rabbi Eisendrath said it was
“sheer stupidity and petulance”
to “protest by noninvolvement
which is not protest at all.” He
said those who refuse to “take a
hand in correcting the real or
imagined wrongs within the body
politic” were akin to “those self-
styled liberals who withdraw
from the civil rights struggle
because they have been shocked,
frightened or rejected by black
extremists.”
