New Lens Developed
For Partially Blind

BANGOR, Me. — Development
of a clear image lens, pbwerful
enough to give vision' to about
half the estimated 150,000 par-
tially blind persons in the
United States, was announced
at the annual meeting of the
Maine Optometric Association
by Dr. William Feinbloom, as-
sociate in optometry at Colum-
bia University, New York.
He reported that his new de-
vice, a member of the micros-
copic lens family, offers hope to
many of the partially blind hav-
ing as little as two per cent vi-
sion. These partially sighted
persons, who include many chil-
dren doomed to a life of Braille,
have until now been classed
with the blind.
Dr. Feinbloom said that the
new lens, the result of five years
of intensive research and clinical
tests, is the first device remov-
ing all the blur optically possible
from the eyes of the partially
blind.

Best Wishes

great amount of candy, cookies,
cakes and fruit during the period
of sitting shivah that much goes
to waste, the Department of
Michigan Ladies Auxiliary of the
Jewish War Veterans has asked
families to consider giving the
foodstuffs to the USO rather
than discarding them.
The JWVA, which services the
USO regularly, knows the ap-
preciation of the boys at an add-
ed treat, other than the usual
sandwiches and c o f f e e. The
Downtown Center now serves
over 300 men daily.
A phone call to the JWV Me-
morial Home, WE. 3-0846, will
bring a representative to pick
up the items to be distributed at
the USO.

A Happy Hanukah to All

May the ideals which distinguished the Macca-

bean era in its struggle for freedom and for the

advancement of the highest Jewish principles

be realized and may they bring honor through

a lasting peace for the entire world.

Vice-Chancellor Declares
Reparations Must Be Paid
BERLIN, (JTA) — Franz Blu-

William Fisher

cher, West German Vice Chan-
cellor, declared that the Ger-
man - Israel reparations pact
could not be repudiated because
it was a moral act of greatest
importance and as such could
not be "denounced before its
actual implementation."

The Report of the Tenth
Plenary Session makes available
for the first time a pamphlet of
80 pages, a review of the major
arguments for and against the
NCRAC's program for effective
organization of Jewish com-
munity relations work. The ses-
sion was devoted almoA exclu-
sively to a debate on a report of
a Special Committee on Evalu-
ative Studies. This committee,
under whose direction Professor
Maclver had conducted his
study, brought in a set of recom-
mendations that had the sup-
port of an overwhelming ma-
jority of the delegate s, but
which were violently opposed by
the American Jewish Commit-
tee and the Bnai Brith.
The report is largely a sum-
marization of the debate on
these recommendations.
Sidney Shevitz, president of
the Jewish Community Council
of Detroit, who represented the
Council at the NCRAC sessions,
voted with the majority in sup-
port of the NCRAC position.

LAMPS OF DEDICATION

Heartiest Hanukah greetings to all
our friends and relatives and to our
associates in the Zionist movement. .
We urge continued work for Israel
and we hope every Jew will be regis-
tered as a possessor of an Israel bond.

Shine, lamps of Dedication, shine,
Your hallowed radiance be the sign.
That still there dwells undimmed by fears,
Not quenched, but fed by blood and tears,
In Israel's heart, clear, steadfast, bright,
The flame it caught from Sinai's height.
