To begin with, a HAPPY
and SOCIALLY USEFUL NEW
YEAR to all !
For those who are still cast-
, ing about . for an Erev Rosh
Hashanah menu, as well as a
menu for the main - meal on
Rosh Hashanah, we offer the
following suggestions. Of course,
it is traditional to have a bowl
of honey on a plate, surrounded
with apple slices or wedges, on
the table along with Challah
and wine. Pass the honey-and-
apple plate, symbol of hopes for
a year of sweetness and plenty!
Can anything be more poetic?
Or more deeply significant of a
people's social consciousness?

JWV Waits on Boycott
of Shell, Pending Talks

NEW YORK (JTA)—The na-
tional policy committee of the
Jewish War Veterans agreed to
"withhold action" on proposals
to boycott Shell Oil Company
products in retaliation for the
company's withdrawal of its op-
erations from Israel.
The JWV decision is condi-
tional upon the completion of
negotiations with the company
which, JWV national comman-
der Benjamin ChasM said,
might "change the complexion"
of his organizaticin's attitude.
If the negotiations do n o t
come to a satisfactory conclus-
ion, he added, the JWV will
"reassess its decision to with-
hold action."
