Israeli Proposed for Mayor of N.Y.C. By DAVID SCHWARTZ (Copyright 1971, ETA, Inc.) New York City has the largest Jewish population of any city in the world but it has never had a Jewish mayor. Fiorello LaGuardia was Jewish only on his mother's side. However, now, the great New York Times itself—well not exactly the Times, but the daily book re- viewer of the Times, Christopher Lehman-Haupt, has proposed that an Israeli become Mayor of New York City. He wants Moshe Safdie for the office, the man famous for "Habitat," the model dwelling of the future which was featured in Montreal's EXPO 67. In review of a book giving the idea of Moshe Safdie on the archi tecture of the future, the Times reviewer says: "Moshe Safdie is a genius; we should elect him mayor of New York City if not emperor of the world tomorrow."- oriental Jews are now taking tc th em and have become , it appears the more passionate dog lovers. The new Tel Aviv beauty parlor will not only style the hair of dogs, but sell dog supplies. Most people mistakenly believe, we are told, "that left over people's food is good for dogs, but this is erro- neous. They are usually too fatty and salty." The shop will also sell special dog candies as well as clothes for canines. It looks like every dog will have his day in Israel! THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, Jaawary I, 1971 - 9 British M. E.

If Safdie 's ideas prevail, the cities of the future are going to look very different. As a boy, Safdie lived on an Israeli .kibutz. While the other children were learning the abc's, little Moshe seemed to concentrate on the b's. If you reflect for a moment, you can't escape the conclusion that the bees have solved the housing problem better than man. There are no bee slums. You don't see bees living in houses with rats. The hives of the bees do not of course have television sets, but they are full of the scent of flowers and filled with honey. And bees pay very little rent! • • • WHEN GOLDA HEIR WAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE There are many things said in the White House no doubt which never get out. We cannot vouch for the truth of the following story but we heard it and present it as we heard it. According to this story, when Mrs. Meir was conferring with President Nixon about airplanes for Israel, she said, "You know, Mr. President, there are now two American generals in Israel." "Two American generals in Is- rael," exclaimed the President. "This is the first I've heard about It. Who are they?" "General Motors and General Electric," said Golda, smiling. (Both of these firms do business in Israel.) • • • IS TEL AVIV GOING TO THE DOGS? This would seem to be the case, according to a story by Martha Meisel* in the Jerusalem Post. According to her, there are now 4,000 dogs in Tel Aviv registered with the municipality and this week saw the opening in North Tel Aviv of a beauty parlor for dogs, where they can get a hair cut or shampoo. Two young Is- raeli bachelor girls, who love dogs, are the owners of the business. There has been a great dog ex- plosion throughout the world, of course. Instead of adding to the human population explosion, it seems many people prefer to have a dog. For one thing, you don't . have to send a dog to college and the generation gap between a dog and his owner is not so great. At least, the dogs don't speak about it. Western Jews were the first to bring dogs into Israel. Few of the oriental Jews had any, but the BOOK COUZENS TRAVEL Presents The Greatest Travel Value For February 1971 ONE WEEK OF SUN - FUN - SURF AT SUNSET LODGE HOTEL and BEACH CLUB . a • • • MONTEGO BAY, JAMAICA TRIP LEAVES EVERY SAT. 9 A.M.
