fathers produced little evi-
dence that they wanted the
kind of wide-ranging serv-
ices being offered under
Jewish communal aspects to
help single-parent mothers
cope with their problems.
Rona Small, program di-
rector at the Denver Jewish
community center, reported
she made her informal in-
vestigation after a Jewish
Welfare Board consulta-
tion on single-parent fami-
lies at which professionals
said this group is "virtually
absent" from such service
agencies' programs.
She reported that the men
she talked to "professed the
same degree of knowledge
about the availability" of
Jewish communal services
"and categorically rejected
both existing services and
the postulated alternatives."
Ms. Small said she
found that the fathers
were deeply involved "in

the care of their offspring,
even those whose children
did not live in the same
community." One had re-
tained sole custody of his
children. The others main-
tained relationships with
their former wives "de-
signed to insure them a
role in all decisions re-
garding their children. All
visited frequently and reg-
ularly with the children
and felt they had warm
positive relationships"
with them.
She said her sample was
small and that the informa-
tion she had collected was
"in no way proof that the
myriad difficulties of absen-
tee fatherhood are a thing of
the past."
Child care service was a
priority item for the fathers
who said such service "must
become more available and
priced for easy accessibil-
ity." Of all existing services,
child care through camps
and day care centers was
the one most frequently
used by the single-parent
fathers.
Ms. Small said the fathers
told her that they, like any
parent, single or married,
could benefit from getting
more insight into their rela-
tions as parents through
family counseling but they
rejected "the premise that
they were less adequate or
more in need of guidance
solely on the basis of their
having terminated a marital
relationship."

Build Page-Turner
TEL AVIV — Three sen-
ior students in mechanics at
the ORT Syngalowski Cen-
ter in Tel Aviv have built an
automatic page turning dev-
ice and delivered the ma-
chine to a hospital where it
is used by disabled students.
The students, all
18-years-old, designed and
built it at the request of the
Israeli Soldiers Welfare Or-
ganization.
The machine is a simple,
battery-operated device that
can be operated by a foot or
chin switch. It can be used
for books or magazines and
operates both forward and
backward.

ORT Lyons Shows
New Building
TEL AVIV — The long-
awaited new building which
will accommodate 400 stu-
dents at ORT Lyons, in
France, is not yet opera-
tional, but at a recent pre-
view of the new construction
— now nearing completion
— it was declared both es-
thetically and functionally
outstanding.
Located in an industrial
district of Lyons, the school
is central and easily reached
by public transportation.
Two wings house class-
rooms, workshops and la-
boratories while a center
section will be occupied by
the school's administrative
services, a dining room and
assembly hall.
Much of the cost of the
new building has been borne
by Women's American
ORT.
