So many people, in fact, have come to Tamaroff for Buicks, Opels and the
new Honda cars that Tamaroff Buick is now the largest Buick dealer in

Michigan. It makes sense that the state's largest dealer will provide the

kind of prices, service— and that "little something extra" — that will keep

his customers coming back year after year. Make this your year for a Buick.

TEL AVIV (JTA) —Hay-
man Shamir, a founder of
the Israel Air Force and a
leader in the aircraft and
electronics industry in Is-
rael, died Dec. 2 at age 53.
The Russian-born aviation
and electronics expert, whose
name was formerly Hyman
Scheckman, was brought as
a child to Chicago where his
family lived until they settled
in Palestine in 1932.

ON THE ALERT: The energy crisis has put national
Jewish organizations on the alert. Groups engaged in the
field of combatting anti-Semitism in this country fear pos-
sible anti-Semitic and anti:Israel "fallouts" from discussions
of energy problems, especially if gasoline shortages become
more acute in the ensuing months and if Americans find
their heating oil in short supply.

A source close to the com-
mittee said, however, that a
published report that work
was about to begin on the
construction of the city was
premature.
What is being considered,
the source said, is a center
which would have both in-
dustry and administrative of-
fices to service the kihutzim

examined on economic and
