ically universally." It also
affirmed that "whatever
credibility your govern-
ment ever enjoyed" has
been destroyed "by the
reckless and irresponsi-
ble decision."
The alliance's telegram
added:
"Orthodox rabbis and
their constituents world
wide are now being
coerced into making a
painful review of their re-
lationship vis-a-vis finan-
cial and moral support of a
state hell bent on destroy-
ing religion and religious
life in its borders. Time
will tell the consequences.
"The one thing of which
you may be certain is that
you are creating a chasm
and gap between Israel
and the Diaspora which
will soon become un-
bridgeable. You and your
colleagues must carry the
burden of the unfortu-

nate condition you have
created. We appeal to you
to immediately rescind
your ruling and return

Yahrzeit Candles
May Pose Riiks

WASHINGTON (JTA)
— The potential risk of
lead poisoning associated
with certain candles con-
taining lead core wicks
includes some kind of
yahrzeit candles but not
Hanuka candles, accord-
ing to the U.S. Consumer
Products Safety Commis-
sion.
The
Commission
warned consumers and
religious groups that "the
amount of lead given off
by such candles is small
and does not, by itself,
present an unreasonable
health hazard, but the
additional lead may pre-
sent a problem for per-
sons exposed to other
sources of lead poisoning,
such as -older housing
with lead-based paint, or
in urban neighborhoods
with high concentrations
of automobile exhaust."
The Commission said
that "consumers can eas-
ily identify candles with
lead core wicking." It
pointed out that "the lead
wire running through the
center (of the wick) can be
exposed by peeling back
the surrounding cotton
braid."

UNESCO Puzzle

TEL AVIV (ZINS) —
Herzl Rosenblum, editor
of Yediot Ahronot, in
commenting on the an-
nouncement that Israel
would return to UN-
ESCO, writes, "Why did
the General-Director of
the Foreign Ministry
stress several times on
our success in returning
to UNESCO? It is well
knolim that no one drove
us out of there, but that
we oursleves left it.
"We did it because of
the blows we received
there. What then is the
occasion for joy now that
we decided to return
there, and that at a time
when we are getting ever
stonger blows there?

What is the grossest form
of neglect? If a man does not
. . . devote every effort to-
ward the education of his
children.
