Esther Ofarim's
High Record Sale Mr. Gruber Dec. 26

Esther Ofarim, who has gained
worldwide recognition, has pro-
duced a new recording—"Cinder-
ella-Rockafella"—which has set a
new high record as the current
hit in England.
The song, written by • Mason
Williams, was number one for four
weeks in England four weeks and
430,000 records were sold.
Among the five selections on the
first side of this record is a
"Hora." There are six songs on
the second side.
Esther Abi Ofarim, now 24, was
a soloist when she was in kinder-
garten in Haifa in 1948. She was
encouraged by her parents and
while in Haifa elementary school
she auditioned for Bematenu —
"Our Stage"—her first try then,
with older contestants having been
when she was 12.
The Children's Theater in Haifa
was well-organized, "a real money-
maker." Esther recalls. She would
attend elementary school from 8-1
p.m. and then from 2 to 4 p.m.
there were two hours of rehearsal.
Her first starring role was "Cin-
derella," where her petite figure
and long braided hair, still part
of her trademark, made her per-
fect casting.
Her first brush with a true
pro came a bit later when she
entered the Community Theater.
With American director Peter
Frye's group, she played the part
of a boy in S ar oy a n's "My
Heart's in the Highlands."
While she was finishing high
school, a young man, Abraham
Ofarim, came to the school as a
part-time instructor in the drama
department. Ofarim was an out-
standing young figure in Israel's
growing theater. He had a dance
studio in Haifa with over 120
pupils. Still under 20, Abraham
was the mark of many girls in the
area.
Esther admits she used a ruse
to obtain an introduction. She told
a girl friend, who was his pupil,
that she would like to get some
dance instruction in order to secure
a forthcoming production part,
which required terpsichorean ex-
perience. Ofarim had previously
heard of the lovely-voiced teen-
ager, he recalls, so he gladly ac-
cepted the new pupil.
Shortly after Esther began as a
student in Abraham's studio, she
was called for her regular term of
army service. She continued to
see Abraham and they became
steady dates. After she had served
four months in the Israeli army,
where she recalls she could
hardly pack the heavy World War
I rifle, she married the young
instructor. Her marriage auto-
matically cut her army duty. She
has appeared in concert in this
country and the world's capitals.

Ties Between Racist Party,
Synagogue Bombing Eyed

WASHINGTON (JTA)—The FBI
is investigating possible links be-
tween the violently racist and anti-
Semitic National States Rights
Party and the May 27 bombing
of a synagogue in Meridan, Miss.,
the Washington Post reported.
The party has been recruiting
Ku Klux Klansmen in the Meridian
area, the newspaper said. T h e
FBI has evidence indicating that
some of the same people respon-
sible for the bombing of a syna-
gogue and a rabbi's house in
Jackson, Miss., last November are
also involved in the Meridian
violence. No arrests have been
made in either of the cases, but
rewards have • been posted.

`Back-to-Work'

Betty Klarman, who is working'

lege of Medicine and is studying
for her PhD, and Nanette E.
Scofield, who holds a masters
from Columbia and is free lancing
in aspects of vocations, combined
their skills in writing a guide for

tunities that are available.
Age is considered; abilities,

the task of securing a desired job,
advisability of going back to school,
the handicaps, the avenues open
for widows, etc., also are listed.
Is it office work, secretarial, a.
government job, interior decorat-
ing, communications, counseling?
All avenues are explored, and
the women who take an interest in
the advice thus provided for them
will be amazed at the expansive
fields studied and taken into
account in this interesting book.
There is even advice on going
into one's own business, and handi-
capped are told how to approach
the problem of re-education.
Is it worth the effort, the two
authors ask, and they point to the
