Important civic defense and oonimunity r(;Iation.s problems which confront the Jewish com¬ munities in Ohio will be the sub¬ jects for consideratloii at the forthcoming 13th annual meeting of tho Rigional Advisory Board of the Anti-Uefamatlon League. The meeting will take place on Saturday night, May 5, and al! day Sunday. May 6, at Lincoln Lodge in Columbus. APL B'nai B'rith. and Jewish community leaders throughout the state will gatlier at that time to determine policii's and procedures which will guide the Regional ADL opera¬ tion during the fortlicomlng year.
THE I'KOBLEM of the "radi¬ cal right" will be the major sub¬ ject on the agenda. While the ultra-conservative movement is a national phenomenon, Ohio is one of the states whero the many manifestations of this movement have boon moat extensive. Almost every major organization on the extreme right has been active in this state, including such groups as fhe John Birch Society, the Christian Anti-Communist Cru¬ sade of Dr. Frod Schwarz. the Christian Crusade conduoted by tho Reverend Billy Hargls, and even the   ¦Minutomen" have been
active in this region. This entire situation will be studied in depth at the board meeting, especially insofar as it relates to the Jewish community.
Religious education in public schools is a major problem in this state. The board will grive careful consideration to this problem, es¬ pecially to the practices of re¬ leased time religious education classes conducted on school prem¬ ises during school hours in many communities. T h i s e practicis have been ruled unconstitutional by decisions of the United States Supreme Court and appropriate procedures for . eliminating ^uch practices will engage the atten¬ tion of the meeting.
THE QUESTION of discrimin¬ ation by private clubs is also scheduled for study. This has proven to be a highly controver¬ sial subject within the Jewish community. Are such clubs mere¬ ly "extensions of the living room" as some people believe? Are they rather, as others contend, impor¬ tant centers of community power and the breeding grounds for those attitudes which find ex¬ pression in other more significant areas of discrimination?

OPEN-HEART SURGERY STORY TELLS WHY BLOOD IS SO URGENTLY NEEDED
Why is blood so urgently needed? What happenn to that pint of blood you donated?
The following Open-heart sui'gery story will teiivyou. Even though it toolc place in Hartford, Conn., April, 1961, it happeTts-- in Franlciin County hospitals on the average of three times a weeic.
THE DRAMA BEGAN slowly, quietly, with 2-1 pints of blood. During the afternoon ot Novem
ber 30, some 24 volunteers ar¬ rived at the Hartford hospital to give blood. All of the same blood group and type, they had been recruited by the Connecticut Regional Blood Program of the Red Cross almost a month in ad¬ vance, at the request of the hos¬ pital officials.
EARLY THE NEXT MORNING the drama heightened, Eight year old Pamela Paoletta, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alphonse Pao- petta of 94 Park St., was anaes¬ thetized and prepared for card- lac surgery. She had a hole in her heart.
Beside her stood Hartford's hospital heart-lung machine. De¬ veloped in the 1950'a. It siphons off blood which normally would enter the heart, oxygenates it through a metal lung, returns it through filters and tuges to the body, ^t
keeps the" blood circulating through the patients body, but out of the heart and lung area where the surgeons must work.
IT MAItES OPEN-HEART sur¬ gery  possible  and  practical.
A nurse and pump equipment technician began pouring the don¬ ors' blood Into the machine. Be¬ sides thom, a cardiologist hand¬ led equipment which constantly showed how Pamela's heart re¬ acted ¦ to surgery and measured blood pressure in her veins and arteries.
AN ELECTRO-ENOEPHALO- GRAPH measured whether her brain was receiving enough oxy¬ gen- and whether anaesthesia was adequate. Small electrodes at¬ tached to heiybody recorded any variation   in/heartbei
