Israel Protests
UNITED NATIONS,
(JTA)—Israel protested
"vigorously' and emphatically" to the United Nations
today over the attempt by a
Nigerian army officer serving with the United Nations
Interim Force in Lebanon
(UNIFIL) to smuggle weapons and explosives to Palestine Liberation Organization
agents in Israel.
In a letter to UN Secretary
General Kurt Waldheim, Israel's Ambassador to the
UN, Yehuda Blum requested
that "action be taken forthwith to prevent once and for
all any recurrence of such
acts which, you will surely
agree, are in flagrant violation- of - UNIFIL's peacekeeping mandate." Blum
stated in his letter, "As you
are aware, this is not the
first time that a soldier serving with UNIFIL has been
caught red-handed while attempting to smuggle into Israel arms and explosives for
the terroist PLO. I an* instructed to protest vigorously and emphatically
against this repeated criminal abuse of a UN peacekeeping force to serve as a
cover for cooperation with
PLO terroists despite-assuiv-
ances received from the UN
to take action to prevent the
recurrence of activities of
this kind. The acts of terror
carried out by PLO criminals against innocent civilians in Israel, whether successful or not, demonstrate
the special gravity of such
actions."
Blum observed Hhat "Anyone aiding and abetting the
PLO in its activities aimed
at indiscriminate mass murder of civilians bears a
heavy responsibility, particularly if he happens to be
a member and a high ranking officer at that, of a UN
force."

UNIFIL Mandate Extended
Israeli Role Deplored
UNITED NATIONS,
(JTA)-The United Nations
Security Council approved
late Thursday a double-barrelled resolution extending
for another six months the
mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) and criticizing Israel for its activities in
Lebanon. The votewas 12-0.
—-The--U«ited«£tateSr~whUe~
calling-the condemnation of
Israel one-sided, voted for it.
The Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia abstained and
China, as usual, did not participate. China opposes use
of-UN forces in principle.
The American delegate,
Richard Petree, assailed Israel for "contributing" to
tensions in Lebanon by failure to cooperate with
UNIFIL. He said the U.S.
could not accept constant
harassment of -UNIFIL
troops by Christian militia
supplied and supported by
Israel. But he also said the
Arab world must help to end
Palestinian "extremist" at
tacks against Israel. The
U.S. "deplores equally" acts
of violence and terrorism
"directed indiscriminately
against Israeli citizens," he
said. Yehuda Bhftn, Israel's
delegate, denounced the
"blatant bias" of the resolu-
tion's anti-Israel portions.

TEL AVIV, (JTA)-Some
30,000 persons, responding to
a call by the Peace Now
Movement, massed in Tel
Aviv last night to protest the
government's settlement
.policy and specifically the
controversial Gush Efnunim
settlement of Alon Moreh
near Nablus. A cable was
read, signed by 62 prominent
American Jews, warning
that the new settlement
underminded Israel's credibility in the eyes of the
world. Among the signatories were Saul Bellow, winner
of the Nobel Prize for literature, conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein and
the actor, Theodore Bikel. .
The Prime Minister's Office claimed today that no
.such cable had been received. An American academician, Prof. Leonard Fein
of Harvard, and editor of the
Jewish magazine, Moment,
who addressed the rally,
questioned a statement
made in Jerusalem Thurs
day by Theodore Mann,
chairman of the Conference
of Presidents of Major
American Jewish Organizations, that the concensus
among American Jews was
that the West Bank settlements were "legal" and
"necessary" for Israel's
security. Mann did not specifically mention Alon Moreh
ih that connection. Fein declared that there is no concensus of American Jewry in
support of the settlements.
He said  there  are  many
American Jews who feel that
Israel's settlement policy, as
it is being carried out, can
create serious divisions.
The cable from the U.S.
expressed anxiety over the
decision to set up yet another
settlement on the West Bank
on the eve of negotiations
with Egypt and the U.S. on
the future of that territory.
While stating that they
understand that there are
legal and historic factors
which prompt Jewish settle-

Heritage Village Created By Vote of Membership
Editor's Notes: On June 7, Mr. Gerald
Cohn, Exec. V.P. of Heritage House,
presented the following remarks
which clearly out line the constitutional changes and other Implementations necessary to the establishment of
the senior citizen' service complex
which will be known as Heritage Vll^
laae. _
The constitutional changes and the
consolidation of administrations as Indicated by Mr. Cohn In his presentation, were unanimously approve^ by
those In attendance at the meeting.
Under the newly established set-up,
Cohn will serve as Executive Vice
Pres. of both Heritage House «. Heritage Tower. Ms, Bonnie Fass has been '
appointed assistant administrator for
Heritage Tower.
The combined services provided by
Heritage House & Heritage Tower in
eluding the Heritage House sponsored
Geriatric Services Organization
(GSO) and the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) will be known
as Heritage Village.
By Gerald N. Cohn,
Executive Vice President, -
Heritage House
We have accomplished a
great deal in the past decade
including the completion of
two expansion programs at
Heritage House resulting in
a tripling of the occupancy of
the Home, the planning and
construction of Heritage
Tower, for independent living which is now fully occupied with an active waiting
list of over 50 and a deferred
but approved waiting list of
another 50, the development
and successful funding of the
, Geriatric Service Organization thus providing home-
maker, light housekeeping,
transportation, counseling,
Meals on Wheels, information and referral and related
services to over 300 older
adults in our geographic region, the inauguration of a
kosher nutrition site at the
JewWN Center providing
rfiedls daily to an average of
80 plus senior citizens, the
sponsorship by Heritage
House of the local branch of
the National Retired Senior
Volunteer Program serving
some 6Q0 retired individuals
in Franklin County and the
Day Resident program at
Heritage House whereby
older adults spend the day as
full participants in the activities and meal program at
Heritage House and return
to their independent living
arrangement in the evening.
Y^s—-we've come" a long
way—but there is also much
that we will be called upon to
doin the future! The number
of older people in our Com-
munityis growing at a rapid '
rate. At the conclusion of the
next decade one out oi five or
20% oflour population willbc''
over 65 with the most rapidly
growing population group in
the 85 and over category!
In truth we will have and
to a certain extent have at
the current time—not one
homogenious grouping of- elderly people—but three
major age categories, 65 to
75; 75 to 85 and over.
And age is of course just
one factor. An individual's
physical and mental health,
nutrition,- ability to manage
independently, socialization
skills, meaningful activities
are also important components that determine the
level of independence and
the need for assistance, if
any, to maintain that independence.
In order to effectively and
economically plan and develop future facilities] and'

p.m. The topic is "The West
Bank Settlements: Religious
Obligations and Political
Realities." The headline of
last week's edition of the
Chronicle read "U.S., Israel
clash over Settlements." In
the article it was reported
that Menachem Begin defended the new Jewish settlements on the West Bank
and stated that settlement is
a right and a duty. The evening with Rabbi Spero promises to shed new light on this
very complex issue. He will
discuss the halachic position
as well asthe ethical, moral
and political implications.
Rabbi Spero is a nationally
known scholar, author? and
orator.
The entire community is
invited to attend the lecture
