Synagogues throughout the
Metropolitan Detroit area and
Michigan are being called upon
to make their traditional Purim
Appeal, on behalf of the Jewish
National Fund.
Purim, which this year be-
gins with the reading of the Me-
gilla the evening of Feb. 24, and
the morning of Feb. 25, is the
holiday of Mishloach Monos,
the festival when gifts are given
to friends, relatives, neighbors,
and good causes.
Congregants will be asked to
make Purim contributions to
JNF that will be used to plant
trees, reclaim and develop land,
and establish more border set-
tlements and strengthen exist-
ing ones.

Israel Probing
Prostitute Laws

JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
seven-member committee
headed by a woman judge was
named by Justice Minister
Haim Zadok to examine all as-
pects of the prostitution prob-
lem in Israel and recommend
legislative measures.
His move followed the Knes-
set's passage, on first reading,
of a bill that would subject
prostitutes who annoy their
neighbors to punishment as
"public nuisances." Prostitution
as such is not a punishable of-
fense under Israeli law.

Kissinger's Wife
Visits Terrorists
Victim in Israel

JERUSALEM (JTA)
While her husband was grap-
pling with the issues of a second
stage settlement, Nancy Kissin-
ger spent Tuesday morning vis-
iting 16-year-old DeJean Repro-
gel of Jacksonville, Fla. who
was wounded in a terror attack
on her tourist bus in Jerusalem
in December.
DeJean, who had her leg
amputated after doctors lost
the fight to save it, is at Hada-
sah Hospital in Jerusalem. The
Israel government is covering
her hospitalization costs and
her parent's- hotel and other
expenses.
Mrs. Kissinger toured the
children's ward following the
visit. While at the hoSpital, she
was also treated for an earache.

Charles Milan, JNF presi-
dent;_and Phillip Stollman,
chairman of the religious
groups committee, in their plea
to congregations, said:
"Last year, JNF committed
itself to restoring the areas rav-
ished during the Yom Kippur
War. This year, our involve-
ment is much deeper. JNF must
now help to strengthen the se-
curity of Isreal's borders, by
reclaiming more land for settle-
ment, and by planting more
trees and constructing more
roads, which serve as a protec-
tion to the settlers, many of
whom will be guarding the bor-
ders Of the state of Israel."

Sudden resolutions, like the
sudden rise of the mercury in
the barometer, indicate little
else than the changeableness of
the weather. — Julius Charles
Hare
