Committee of the Columbus Jewish Federation Endowment Fund.
It was a successful and
informative evening for the
women who attened the final
session of the Women and
Money Series on Thursday
evening, Oct. 22. The many
questions, that were
answered by John L. Sauter,
Vice President and Trust
Officer of Banc Ohio, indicated the tremendous interest generated by this series.
At his session the women
learned the many aspects of
/'Living with Their Trust
Officer" which included art
explanation of types of services rendered by a trust officer and' the value of his
financial expertise.
Other  highlights  of,-the
four-part series were a session on "Why Estate Planning?" by Marvin P. Pliskin; "Role of Gifts and
Trusts in Estate Planning"
by Lloyd E. Fisher; and
"Investment Planning" by
Sigmund J. Munster.
The 100 participants
agreed that the four-part
series met their goals and
expectations. A specific goal
was to provide Columbus
women with a comprehensive program of financial
information. -

Chairman of the Endowment

featured. Miss Ross' voice is
described as "velvety in
tone, brilliant and luscious it
the tops, warm in the
middla."
She made her debut at the
Metropolitan Opera in 1970.
The New York Times called
her a "powerhouse."
Although she is American
born and trained, she was
in the domain of women—
they should know what to do'
with it and how to protect
their financial future. The
Women's Committee of the
Endowment Fund' rendered
an important service by
offering this series to the'
community."
NEW YORK (JTA)-
American Jewish leaders
registered their serious concern over the possible effects
of the Senate's approval of'
the Reagan Administration's
$8.5 billion weapons sale to
Saudi Arabia on the prospects for peace and stability
in the Middle East.
They stressed, at the same
time, that the Administration now has the responsibility and obligation to see to it
that the Saudis abandon
their consistently hostile and
obstructive posture toward
the.peace .process within the
Camp David, framework
and, above all, to assure and
maintain Israel's military
superiority in the region.
Many Jewish leaders also
deplored the injection of
anti-Semitism as an issue in
the bitter debate over the
arms package deal.
Howard Squadron, chairman of the Conference of
Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations,
declared last week: "We
hope that the White House
success in the (Senate) vote
will, as the President promised, result in a strengthening of our country's position in the Middle East. We
hope too that the Saudi royal
family will respond by join
ing in the quest for peace."
"If the Saudis do not take
such actions, the arms deal
will prove once again the
futility of appeasement. It
will encourage those forces
in the Arab world, enemies
of peace, who insist that acting against American interests is the surest guarantee of American support. For
the Reagan Administration,
it'will have turned out to be a
Pyrrhic victory," Squadron
said.

international status when
she came to New York, having a repertoire of more than
a dozen leading roles singing'
with the foremost opera
companies of the world. Miss
Ross has had many memorable successes and triumphs from Carnegie Hall
and the Hollywood Bowl to
the Bolshoi Theatre in
Moscow.
Despite all her operatic
success, Elinor Ross wanted
very much to perform the
music of her people. Due to
her lack of familiarity with
Yiddish, she began to both
study the language and perform the, music of the vast
Jewish resource several
years ago. This was at the
urging of her husband,
Aaron Diamond, a rabbi's
son. With her' husband's
encouragement she began to
perform Jewish oriented
works in synagogue
concerts. '

been planned for the dinner.
