Board will be watching the -
number of signatures upon
our petitios and the views of ;
those in attendance at the
public meeting. "X" persons
in attendance and we may
lose our vote; 'X" persons
plus you and we can win."
"The Jewish Center
Board,", stated Gilbert, "will
vote upon the basis of their
perception of the best interest of the Jewish community." He feels, however,
that the Board will not attempt to discount the stated
aspirations of this community. "In a democratic system
the elected officials have the
final vote on issues but they
derive their power from the
governed. Those"-constituents whose feelings are ignored have their inalienable
right to express their dissent.
"It is this time honored
process that makes your
participation Monday night
so vital. The Columbus Jewish Center Board is receptive
to your feelings." Gilbert
also called for the immediate return of all petitions

MONTREAL, Sept. 10
(JTA)—Sen. Jacob Javits
(R. NY"), speaking at a
solidarity dinner at the
Shaar Hashomayim Synagogue here last Thursday
night, on the occasion of the
launching of the 1978 Combined Jewish Appeal and
Israel Emergency Fund,
said that the American
people "will not be willing to
support any peace plan
which Israel will consider as
a mortal danger."
Javits said that the Camp
David summit conference
"was brought on by a state of
desperation and the President of the United States recognized that it was taken as ,
an extreme measure." He
said that "it seems clear to
me" .that Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's
"strategy was to force -the
United States to propose its
own plan of peace tilted
towards Egypt."
The Senator noted that
^With^,^€L Soviet ..Ujoioa.
'%uiel_ng,up the situation in"
the Middle East, the U.S.
emerged as the only credible
; party to both Egypt and
Isrel." Despite the American, sale of planes to Saudi
Arabia and Egypt last spring
"it is a great tribute to Israel
that its confidence in the
United States was not
shaken and it is an equal tribute to the U.S. that it remained loyal in its commitments to Israel," Javits ob-
sered.
As to the Camp David
.talks, he said he believes
that what will emerge regarding a settlement "will
be a meaningful contribution
'to peace. I hope that Sadat
will speak not only about
guarantees for Israel in
terms of paper guarantees
but of real guarantees which
will give Israel a feeling of
total security. The alternative to peace may be war."
Javits also stated that he
hoped the Aswan formula
which . Carter projected
during his visit with Sadat
last January "will prevail
and that the Palestinians
will have a voice in those
deliberations which will be a
matter of the future and no
more."
Carter said at Aswan Jan.
4 that one of his principles
for peace was, "there must
be a resolution of the
Palestinian problem in all its
aspects. The resolution of
the Palestinian problem
must recognize the legitimate rights of the
Palestinian people and
enable the Palestinians to
participate in the determination of their own future."
Unlike Carter's previous references to a Palestinian
state, the Aswan statement
did not' contain this
reference | and left open the
specifics of the future for the
Palestinians.
Two Proposed Sites To Be Presented

Avenue and McNaughton

society; offer exciting educational space for children

square foot building; parking for 300+ cars; facilities
for outdoor recreation such
as tennis courts, ball fields,
swimming, running track,
picnic areas and camping
area for200 youngsters.
In attempting to design a
Center that will meet community needs for at least the
