tion for such necessities as shoes
for the six children before the
advent of cold weather.
Richard and Judy Cooper,
both of whom work full time, are
making this a family project.
They have taken their two daugh
ters to play with the Laotian
youngsters and are having the
new family to dinner in the
Cooper home.
“Children feel at home with
other children,” says Judy. “We
also think it’s good for our chil
dren to know that children from
other parts of the world are real
people. We try to teach our chil
dren to help others and this has
been a good experience.”
Soon the committee will divide
up the tasks into four definite
groups: housing and furnishings,
food and clothing, health and
education, and employment. Isaac
Chernobrov, a Russian refugee
himself, and Bernie and Bunny
Lovitky are taking active roles in
When the first adopted family,
he Luangsiyothas, arrived, they
could only manage “hello” and
thank you” in English. Their
Progress in Atlanta has been un
believable. The mother, father
and two children were settled in
the Lindberg-Piedmont area. After
two-to-three months they were
self-supporting and had opened
a bank account. The father works
at two jobs, one that was arranged
for him as a bus boy, and another
he found through the help of a
Laotian friend.
The new family will be settled
on Briarwood Road between Bu
ford Highway and Brookhaven.
The father speaks English fairly
well, and a tutor has been arranged
for the mother and children.
They have had the standard
Atlanta introduction to Varsity
hamburgers, French fries and
onion rings and reportedly loved
them. However, it does take time
to get used to the varieties of
American food after a diet con
sisting primarily of sticky rice.
The children range in age from
1 V2 to 14. There are two boys,
ages 4 and 14, and four girls, ages
I Vi, 6, 10 and 12. All of the family
members are short and thin, says
Linda Lincoln, program director
of The Temple. She says that
winter clothing, toys and kitchen
items are especially needed.
As she helps coordinate the
donations for the new arrivals,
Ms. Lincoln expressed her feel
ings about the adoption of both
families. “The project is one that
is doing something significant in
helping 12 people live a live of
freedom.”
Describing the families, Max
well Schwartz says, “They are
very sweet, well-mannered peo
ple and have a deep sense of
appreciation and thankfulness for
our sponsorship.” Rabbi Alvin
Sugarman spiritual leader of The
Temple, and Schwartz will speak
on this project at 8 p.m. Friday,
Dec. 5, at The Temple.

HAIFA—Israel’s offer still
stands to pay restitution for
homes, farms and properties
abandoned by Arabs who fled
Israel in 1948. Israeli authorities
increased the U.N. proposal to
place the value at registered tax
rates plus 25 percent to the regis
tered value multiplied by 8.4, to
take into account depreciation of
the currency. After the Yom
Kippur War few claims were made
because of a growing nationalist
feeling among Arabs. Those liv
ing outside of Jerusalem in scat
tered Arab countries refuse to
have anything to do with the
Israeli government.
