Mrs. Schecter, president, stated: "Since Heritage House, the Colum¬ bus Jewish Home for the Aged, opened its doors on November 15, 1961. it has won for itself a place in the heart of the entire com¬ munity, providing the opportunity and stimulus for cohtinudng life, with pride and dignity, for our old¬ er people. It provides a wide vari¬ ety of medical and social services depending upon the individual needs of its residents.
"Important in most of these serv¬ ices is the role of the volunteer, through Heritage House Auxiliary, who provides assistance to the staff in the areas of occupational ther¬ apy, physical therapy, friendly vis¬ iting, clerical assistance, and rec¬ reational and social activities for the   residents.
"Heritage House belongs to the entire community, and the Auxili¬ ary merits the support of every woman interested in serving this important community agency. Join, and l)ecome a part of Heritage House Auxiliary."

Israel Files Complaint With U.N. Following Syrian Attack
United NaUons, N.Y., (JTA) — After a weekend of terror on Israel's northern border, during which Syrian mortar and machinegun fire aimed at Israeli settlements killed three Is¬ raelis and wounded 11, five of these seriously, while Israel jet pianos replied by knocking out at least two Syrian tanks and other gun posts, Israel this week filed a complaint with the Security Council, charging Syria with: "1. Repeated acts of aggression
committed by Syrian armed forces again.st citizens and territory of Israel in violation of the General Armistice Agreement, culminating in the Syrian attack on November 13. 1964.
"2. Threats by official spokes¬ men of the Syrian Government against the territorial integrity and political independence of Israel, in violation of the United Nations Charter,"
The Israel complaint followed one filed on behalf of Syria by its Am¬ bassador here. Rafik A-sha. who accused Israel of "aggression." Both complaints, addressed to Ad¬ lai E. Stevenson, chairman of the United States delegation and this month's president of the Security Council, requested "urgent" meet¬ ings of the U-man body.
The letter to Mr. Stevenson, re¬ questing the meeting of the Ck)un cil, was an extension of a lengthy letter addressed to the American by Ambassador Michael S. Comay, Israel's permanent representative here, which detailed the events that

transpired    on    the   Syrian-Israeli border last Friday. Planes   Sent   Up   As   Last   Resort After  Syria   Refuses  to   Hall   Fire
According to Mr. Comay. the Syrians opened fire suddenly, in broad daylight, along an Israeli border track northeast of Kibbutz Dan. Two tanks joined the Syrian attack and, in order to extricate the Israel patrol, Israel returned the fire.
.Then, according to Mr. Omay, "fortified Syrian army positions on the hilltops of Tel el-Hamra opened artillery and heavy mortar bomb- bardment of the Israel village of Shear 'Vashuv and Kibbutz Dan. which are respectively 1700 and 500 meters on the Israel side of the border. Other Syrian fortified gun emplacements on the high ground further back from these hilltops joined in the bombardment. Fire was returned in an effort to silence the Syrian guns."
It was only after Israel com¬ plained to military observers repre¬ senting the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization, and the UN military observers had twice requested Syria to cease fire, which Syria ignored, that Israel sent its planes into the air against the Syrian posts. (A report from Syria claimed that seven Syrians were killed and 36 wounded by Israel's counter-attack.)
Mr. Comay made it dear that "the employment of Israel's planes was a last resort, as an emergency defense measure" and "must be understood in relation to the nature of the terrain.". He pointed out that the terrain is such that there is no other way for Israel to de¬ fend itself under the circumstances existent on Friday. Accuses Syria of Flouting Promises to  U.N.  to Stop Attacks
Mr. Comay also noted that Maj. Gen. Odd Bull, chief of staff of UNTSO, has of lak; taken up with the Syrian authorities the issue of their shooting at Israelis, and had obtained from them promises that such attacks would cease.
"The solemn Syrian assurances," he stated; were "flouted and vio¬ lated."  He  also noted  the falsity of a claim by the Syrians that the (Gontlait^d on page 4)

GHAPa DEDICATION AT TIFERETH ISRAEL ON DECEMBER 4 & 5
On the Sabbath of Chanukah, Dec. 4 and 5, Congregation Tifereth Israel will dedicate the small cha¬ pel which is used for daily minya- nim and small weddings.
Tribute will be given to Mr. and Mrs. Herman M. Katz for their part in making the chapel a reality at these two services.
Rabbi Simon Greenberg, vice- chancellor of the Jewish Theologi¬ cal Seminary of America will honor the congregation by occupying the pulpit with Rabbi Nathan Zelizer for this notable event.
Chanukah. which means dedica¬ tion, was chosen for the dedica¬ tion ceremonies in recognition ot the rededication of the Temple in 165 B.C.E., when the Jews recap¬ tured Jerusalem. The Temple, which had been used for pagan purposes, was cleansed and the Eternal  Light  rekindled.
Rabbi Greenberg, noted lecturer and professor of Homiletics, will deliver the sermons at the Friday night services and at the Saturday morning services.
ISRAEL BURIES DEAD; KIBBUTZ SETTLERS REPAIR DAMAGES
Jerusalem (JTA) — While Is¬ rael's Cabinet was in .session here, receiving detailed reports about the weekend's attacks by Syria and Israel's air reply to those attacks, funeral sci-vices were held for some of Israel's casualities, while the severely bombed Israeli set¬ tlements in the North were already beginning to rebuild their shattered kibbutzim.
Friday's heavy fighting of more than two-and-a-half hours, w'hich ended only after the Israeli jets smashed some of the Syrian gun posts and tanks, w.is continued in the air. Four .Syrian MIG-21 planes had gone up over Israel's northern tK)rdoi- near Lake Tiberias. Israeli Mirage jets drove them away, and one Syrian .MIG 21 was reported hit by fire from one of the Israeli planes.
In Friday's Air Force operation against tho Syrians, an Israeli de¬ fense foix'cs spokesman said Israel used four different types of planes, Voutours, Mystfres, Supermysteres and Mirages.
The three Isi'aeli dead were George Lazar, whose family had come heix' from Hungary during the exodus of many Hungarians following the 1956 revolt in that country: Yehuda Porat. whose or¬ igin was Persia: and Major Louis Branstein, who.se mother and sister still live in England. Lazar was the fourth member of his family killed: three children of the Lazar family had Ixvn murdered by the Nazis during World War II.
Dflegates of settlers from Dan and Shear Yashuv, the kibbutzim hardest hit in Friday's attack, met here with Deputy Minister of De¬ fense Shimon Peres, who promised [continu.d on pog* 4)
