about low Israeli morale are
oversimplified and create an
exaggerated impression
abroad, according to Prof.
Ben Lappin, formerly of Can-
ada and now director of the
school of social work at Bar-
Ilan University here.
"Despite the- shock of an
unexpected war and continu-
ing terrorist attacks, the coun-
try as a whole has stood up
very well during the year
which has now passed since
the outbreak of the Yom Kip-
pur War," the professor said.

Big UN Rally
to Protest PLO
NEW YORK (JTA)—More
than 25,000 Americans —
Jews and non-Jews—are ex-
pected to take part M a dem-
onstration "against Arab ter-
ror" at noon Monday at Dag
Hammarskjold Plaza outside
the United Nations.
Rabbi Israel Miller, chair-
man of the Conference of
Presidents of Major Ameri-
can JeWish Organizations, de-
clared at a press conference
that the demonstration, to
-take place the same week as
the debate on the Palestine
Question in the General As-
sembly, was called to protest
"and to express outrage at
the obscene act" of inviting
the terrorist PaleStine Lib-
eration Organization (PLO)
to the United Nations and at
the same time "to voice soli-
clarity with the embattled
people of Israel."
According to Rabbi Miller,
thousands of demonstrators
will arrive from all over the
country.
"The Hebrew day schools
will suspend classes that
day," he said, adding that
the rally will bring together
"young and old people, white
collar and blue collar work-
ers, Jews and non-Jews."
Rabbi Miller stressed that
although the issue is "emo-
tional" the rally is going to
be peaceful and non-violent.

Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Our daughter, Judith A. Holtz, is a_ candidate for the newly-
created District judgeship for the cities of Farmington_ and
Farmington Hills.
While Judith is especially important to us, an objective look
at her background, experience, and attitudes confirms our belief
that she will be a first-rate judge.
-
As a third-generation practicing attorney, Judith represents
an established tradition of legal service. The combined legal
e)tperience of her immediate family (including her -grandfather,
father, uncle, brother and husband) now totals 140 years.
Judith always has had a deep respect and concern for
people. Because of this, we know she will administer the - law .
fairly and conscientiously. Judith is intelligent and practical.
Her suggestions for improving the court are so good that
a group that interviewed her recommended that her proposals be
considered; no matter who is elected.
We are proud that -after a careful' screening of the two
woman candidates, the Women Lawyer's Association of Michigan
endorsed Judith.

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Threetourists from Illinois,
two women and one man.
were killed Oct. 26 when a
tourist bus overturned in
Sinai. .Twenty-two were in-
jured, four of them severely.
The accident ' happened
near the Sinai coast, along
the Gulf of Eilat, some 50
miles south of Eilat.
The dead and most of the
iojured were members- of a
scuba diving club who came
to Israel to look for diving
sites. The bus driver noticed,
as he was descending on this
winding road, that he lost
his brakes.
He warned the passengers
that he had lost control of
the bus, and the vehicle
raced down the hill at 90
miles an hour. At one of the
last turns off that road the
bus turned over.
The group was on its way
from Sharm el-Sheikh in
southern Sinai through Eilat
on the way back to Jerusa-
lem.
Wanting to be wiser than
all is the greatest folly.
We truly believe that Judith will be a credit to our court
and our community. Please make a special effort to vote for her
in the November 5th General Election, on the non-partisan
judicial ballot.
