Much preventive work has already been accomplished. Babies are now automatical- ly screened for hearing at the age of 7 to 8 months. There is a similar screening program for defective vision for all children at the age of one year. At the age of 5 there is another screening to see whether reading glasses are needed. Work is not only done with parents and families on an individual basis but — as in the case of parents of very young mongoloid children — group sessions under the guidance of a social worker have helped them work out their emotional difficulties and gain a clearer under- standing of the nature of the affliction and how they can help. Sephardi Solidarity for Israel Is Urged NEW YORK (JTA) —. The American Sephardi Federa- tion called on its members to support a special eight-point program of solidarity and as- sistance to Israel: Increased aliya from the U. S.; more volunteers for six-month programs; addi- tional contributions to Israel emergency campaigns; tour- ism; public affairs aid; ap- peals to public opinion for aid to Jews in the USSR and Arab countries; release of Israeli POWs by Syria; and expressions of solidarity with Israel.

Feb. 2 at Temple Beth El. TEL AVIV — "The diag- nosis and treatment of chil- dren with emotional, speech and hearing deficiences must be done early. By the time they get to school it is often too late," warned Prof. N. Bogair, director of Tel Aviv's Child Development and As- sessment Center. The center is one of six which receive financial and professional aid from Mal- ben, the Joint Distribution Committee's health and wel- fare program in Israel. Dealing with children in the second and third school grades, Prof. Bogair found various severe neurological problems which should have been treated sooner. It was this realization which led to the eventual establishment of the city's center, he said. The Child Development and Assessment Center establish- ed by JDC/Malben in 1970 in cooperation with Tel Aviv receives referrals from the 24 mother and child care stations run by the city's health department. "We are conducting an in- tensive educational campaign for the staff at these clinics . . . to help them shift their emphasis from weighing the child and giving injections to evaluating his general de- velopment as well." Future plans include train- ing one nurse at each clinic to give a simple test, the Bailey test, which will screen children until the age of 21/2 to see whether they are de- veloping according to normal standards. If the nurse feels something is wrong, she can refer the child to the center 11 • Southfield Mi c . higan 48075
