Gadna Youth Corps Members
Learn How to Defend Israel
By MOSHE RON
The Jewish News Special
Israel Correspondent
TEL AVIV—During sum-
mer vacation the Gadna
(military exercises for
school children) intends to
set up six batallions which
will be prepared for aux-
iliary service near their
homes, we were told by the
Gadna commander, Briga-
dier Hillel Ben-Meir.
In each batallion there
will be 100 members of the
Gadna. They will be under
the command of the local
area. All members of the
battalions will be volun-
teers.
All Israel youngsters,
boys and girls from the age
of 16 until their enlistment
into Zahal, are in Gadna.
The Gadna Command each
year holds military exer-
cises for tens of thousands
of youngsters. It includes
the youngsters in all educa-
tional institutions and also
those who are out of school.
Youngsters are taken out
from schools for a certain
period for trips to learn
about the country. The
Gadna penetrated youth
gangs and tries to prepare
them for service in Zahal.
The Gadna Command
keeps buses for military
exercises. The youngsters
stay from one week to 10
days in them and get their
first military training. They
learn how to shoot in
daylight and at night.
The Gadna sees, as Briga-
dier Ben-Meir explains, one
of its main tasks in pre-
paring youngsters for volun-
teering for special combat
units like parachuting, pilot-
ing, U-boat commanding.
During the summer there
are special courses for sni-
pers and sea-divers. Mem-
bers of the Gadna are also
taken to the bases of the
Ordnance Corps for prac-
tical work, in order to learn
the composition of arms.
Youngsters, who know Arab-
ic, get special courses in
this language in order to
use them in the Intelligence
Service of the Army.
Gadna youngsters are em-
ployed in Army bases and
in the Civil Guard.
Jewish Woman Gunman's Victim
NEW YORK (JTA)—Mrs.
Nettie Blassberg, the 57-
year-old woman killed by a
hijacker of a bus July 4,
was an active member of
Temple Israel in Green-
field, Mass., where she
lived.
Rabbi Kalman Newfield,
the temple's spiritual lead-
er, said she was active in
the sisterhood and formerly
its chaplain and sang in the
temple choir. Mrs. Blass-
berg was also a member of
Hadassah. Funeral services
were held Wednesday.
Mrs. Blassberg and her
husband, David, who oper-
ates a newsstand and lunch
counter at the courthouse in
Greenfield, were returning
from a visit to their daugh-
ter in Washington when a
gunman seized a Vermont
transit bus after it left New
York's Port Authority bus
terminal and forced it to go
to Kennedy International
Airport.
At the airport, the gun-
man, identified later as
Luis Robinson, 26, shot
Mrs. Blassberg because,eg-
cording to others on the
bus, he wanted to show po-
lice he was serious about
his demands. When the bus
driver, Normaif Bozwick,
lunged at the gunman he
also was fatally shot. The
gunman then ordered Blass-
bergo drive the bus, but
he said "I can't drive, I'm
legally blind."
The gunman ran toward
the back of the bus and
Blassberg escaped.
If you harden your heart
with pride, you soften your
brain with it too.
Jewish Schools May Benefit
from Supreme Court Ruling
NEW YORK (JTA)—The
ruling by the U.S. Supreme
Court on state aid for paro-
chial schools will "hope-
fully" mean that Jewish
day school pupils can re-
ceive state-funded diagnos-
tic and therapeutic speech
and hearing services, ac-
cording to an official of
Torah Umesorah.
Rabbi Bernard ' Gold-
enberg, director of school
organization for Torah
Umesorah, said that the
court, ruling last month said
that states may finance
therapeutic, remedial and
guidance counseling serv-
ices to parochial school chil-
dren as long as they are on
a neutral site. He said this
neutral site could be a van
that is pulled up alongside
the day school.
However,
Goldenberg
said that each state must
now pass the enabling legis-
lation which would provide
the service to the parochial
schools. He said since the
New York State legislature
is near adjournment there
is no chance that the aid
will come in time for the
1977-78 school year in New
York which has the largest
number of Torah Umesorah
schools.
The court said that diag-
nostic services such as for
speech and hearing could
be provided directly at the
school.
The court also said that
the state may provide paro-
chial schools with stand-
ardized tests and test scor-
ing achievements and reaf-
firmed an earlier ruling
that textbooks may be lent
to parochial school chil-
dren. But it said the state
cannot lend parochial
school children such stand-
ard classroom equipment
as wall charts and slide pro-
jectors.
Goldenberg stressed the
hearing and speech service
because a 1975 ruling by the
Supreme Court invalidated
a Pennsylvania program
providing diagnostic hear-
ing and speech service for
parochial school children.
At that time, Goldenberg
said, the ruling was a "dis-
aster" for Jewish day
schools. He said since then
only the schools which had
)
enough money were ablE
continue therapeutic se,--;
ice.
