52 Friday, October 14, 1977 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS , ,?0, . s Apartments Dinner to Honor the Temehm Laina Temchin, who retires at the end of this month as administrator of Federation Apartments, will be honored together with her husband Joe by her co- workers and associates at a dinner on Sunday. The dinner, which begins with cocktails at 6 p.m. in the dining room of the apartments building, will cite the Temchins for their devotion to the apartments, said Mark E. Schlussel, apartments president. Mrs. Temchin started working for the Allied Jew- ish Campaign the day after she arrived in this country from France in 1951; she has worked for the Jewish Welfare Federation or one of its member agencies ever since. "The same day I arrived in the United States I was hired as a temporary worker for the Allied Jewish Births 1 Sept. 9 — To Mr. and Mrs. Gershon Podolsky (Sarah Fischbein), former Detroit- ers of Monsey, N.Y., a son, Chaim Dovid.

On the contrary, in some instances at least, the expe- rience actually heightens the West Bankers' antipathy or hostility towards Israel— this despite the better living standards that Israeli sala- ries have undoubtedly brought. Preliminary findings of the Bar-Ilan team, led by Prof. Yehuda Amir, were reported in Yediot Ahronot last week. Amir and his team selected Israeli Arabs from among the university faculty staff to aid them in SARAH ELIZABETH LEVINE Mommy-DEE ANN Daddy-STEPHEN , S "Her greatest virtue is her compassion, care and concern," he said. "She's been mother confessor to everyone in the building, and gets involved in all their simhas and tragedies. She has a remarkable com- passion for people — I'll never forget the way she deals with them." Leaving the apartments will be hard for the Temchins. "I knew many of the resi- dents before I came here, from my work at the Cen- ter," Mrs. Temchin said. "They are like relatives to me. It took me a year to decide to leave. I will miss them all, they are so dear to me." But Mrs. Temchin looks forward to the challenge of moving to Boynton Beach, Fla., where she and her hus- band purchased a home three years ago. "I've always liked chal- lenges," she said, "I've already started learning Spanish. And I want to go back to school there. I have so many stories to tell, from Europe and from my work. I want to take courses in creative writing." TEL AVIV (JTA)—The Moshavim District of the Labor Party adopted a reso- lution urging the party to end its alignment with Mapam and re-establish the historic Mapai faction as the central core of the Labor movement in Israel. The resolution. adopted by a substantial majority in the district meeting, was viewed with dismay by other Laborites who saw in it a sure formula for the dis- mantling of Labor was The resolution strongly supported by for- mer Agriculture Minister Aharon Uzan. leader of the party's Moshavim District. He said Labor could rejuve- nate itself and restore its appeal to the electorate only by splitting the Mapam. The latter faction joined Labor seven years ago creating the Labor Alignment which governed Israel until this year. The moshavim will seek support for its position in other Labor circles and hopes to bring the matter up for discussion in the central bodies of the party. Survey Finds West Bankers Are Basically Hostile to Israel interviewing hundreds of West Bank workers over a period of two years. The interviewees were invited to the campus and interviewed in the open, as informally as possible, in order to allay suspicions that their words might be recorded or other- wise used against them.

"I joined the Center when it was on Twelfth St. and moved with it, to Dexter- Davison, then to Curtis- Meyers. At the same time I was working for the Center on Twelfth St. I was going to the school of social work at Wayne State," she said. Mrs. 'remchin met her husband through the Center. She describes Joe, a retired dry cleaner whom she mar- ried in 1954, as "my very best volunteer." "We sold our house when I took the job at the apart- ments because part of the job was we had to live there. He helped with the work here, and when the residents couldn't get to me with their problems they could always get to him, " she said. Schlussel described the Temchins as "a manage- ment team in the real sense. Joe got no pay or credit for his work, but he did a great deal to assist with tenant problems." Schlussel had nothing but praise for Mrs. Temchin's work as administrator for the past five years. Labor Unit Urges End to M ap am link of the area, the more stereo- typed—and hostile—the responses became. Such questions as What is Israel's place in the world?; Can Arabs and Jews live together in peace? ; How do you think Israelis regard you? received almost uni- formly negative replies. Summing up the project, Prof. Amir said: "Most of the responses varied between an attitude of "kabdehu vehashdehu" (respect him but suspect him) to one of outright negativism. To my great regret we found virtually no -- really positive responses. The best responses we received were those expressing neither enthusiasm nor downright hostility. "That was true regarding the less politically-oriented issues, such as, Has Israel contributed to the West Bank economy?; Should Israelis be able to visit the West Bank?; Is the Israeli wife generally faithful to her family? But there was a generally negative response to such substantive ques- tions as, Can Jews and Arabs live together in peace?" While the research team implies that the basic atti- tudes result from objective considerations, they note, nevertheless that inter- viewees' answers, even to politically-oriented ques- tions, are noticeably affected by their individual experiences at their Israeli work places. This is particu- larly true in connection with the grade of responsibility that the West Banker feels he has at his work. What is important here, the team says, is not neces- sarily the actual level of responsibility but the sub- jective feeling of the individual. 42nd ANNIVERSARY SALE THE NEWEST BLUE GREY PIN STRIPE SUIT 3 piece, vested $13950 HARRY THOMAS Fine Men's Clothing 24750 TELEGRAPH (S. of 10, next to Dunkin Donuts) Daily to 6, Thurs. to a p.m. SUNDAY: 11 to 4 p.m. '1 SUNDAY FLEA MARKETS Oct. 16 Roma's of Livonia • Nov. 6th Roma's of East Detroit • Weekday Flea Markets Every Tues.
