By HEIDI PRESS
How could anybody's bub-

novel, "Sadie Shapiro in
Miami." (Smith will appear

Center's annual Book Fair

"What to Do - When Your
Parents Leave Home.")
Published by Simon and
Shuster, Smith's sequel to
his "Sadie Shapiro's Knit-
ting Book" is a silly little
fairy tale best enjoyed when
one has a couple of hours to
spare for casual reading.
The story revolves around
Sadie Shapiro—who else—
an incessant jogger and
talker and designer of knit-
ting patterns whose almost
ill-fated knitting book
became an international
success following her
appearance on the Johnny
Carson TV show.
However, that fame led to
her involvement as an
accessory to a - building
fraud, a predicament in
which most bubbies don't
often find themselves.
Sadie was asked to help
promote a senior citizen
development in Miami
Beach designed in the style
of Disneyland, except that
its features would pertain to
senior citizens. Not only did
Sadie lend her fame, but she
redesigned the whole park
project to boot: When devel-
oper Lawrence L. Lawrence
left town with all of the $2
million in funds raised for
the development, Sadie,
whose name was well-linked
to Senior World, found her-
self in a lot of trouble.
That situation was not to
last long, as the wise and
witty Sadie put her best vir-
tues forward, and soon the
Senior World dream
became a reality insteand of
a nightmare.
The cast of characters
includes her husband, Sam
Beck ("Shapiro is her stage
name," he says) who has a
penchant for being a good
gin rummy player and a
lousy cold sufferer: At their
New York residence,he had
a winter cold so long, he
finally gave it a name, Har-
vey, and hoped that with the
Florida sun, he could get rid
of "him." There are Suleks,
who form the Committee for
an Independent Bosnia and
Hercegovina. Natives of
those countries, the Suleks
have sought a rebirth of
their homelands since they

still believe that most
people are good, Alfred, if
you'll only give them half a
chance to prove it. Listen, if
they didn't give General
Motors a chance, he'd have
forgotten about his car,
stuck in the Army, and we'd
still be riding around in a
horse and wagon. And if
some people we both know
hadn't given you a chance
and bought your pot cheese,
who knows where you would
be today? Got to trust
people, Alfred, you got to."

That's Sadie. She knows
all—well almost. There's
only one prediction she
couldn't make, but it turned
out for the best anyway. In
addition to her jogging, knit-
ting, philosophizing and gen-
erally running the show,
there is a bit of the match-
maker in Sadie and she
plays the part well, adding
another sigh of relief to a
story where a little sigh of
relief couldn't hurt.
"Sadie Shapiro in Miami"
is a light diversion, and as
Sadie would counsel, it's all
right to diverse a little.

Israel to Obey UN Embargo
on Arms Sales to South Africa

JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
Foreign Ministry spokes-
man said that Israel will not
violate the embargo on
arms and ammunition sales
to South Africa voted by the
UN Security Council last
week.
He said, in a briefing for
foreign newsmen here, that
Israel has open relations
with South'Africa and would
honor the decisions of inter-
national bodies "just like
other countries." He added
that although Israel opposed
apartheid it would not inter-
fere in South Africa's inter-
nal affairs.
Foreign Minister Moshe
Dayan said much the same
thing Sunday when asked by
a group of visiting Ameri-
can college presidents if it
was worthwhile for Israel to
maintain close relations
with South Africa in view of
President Carter's strong

condemnation of that coun-
try's racial policies.
"It is not the business of
the President of the United
States whom we have for
friends so long as we are
within the law," Dayan
said. He said Israel's rela-
tions with South Africa were
"above board" and while -
Israel has said publicly it
opposes apartheid, that has
nothing to do with com-
mercial relations.

Meanwhile, the UN Spe-
cial Committee Against
Apartheid has called on the
General Assembly to "once
again condemn the govern-
ment of Israel" for alleged
"collaboration" with "the
apartheid regime in South
Africa in the military,
nuclear, political, economic
and other fields" including
sports and cultural
exchanges.

Rosman, the former egg-

became the "Prince of Pot

ness and who also once

Sadie, she holds the upper
hand and everyone is identi-
fied as they relate to her,
not as she is related to
everyone else).
The book reads quickly,
and, of course, it has its
light moments. Whenever
Sadie speaks it's a light
moment, since only she can
misspeak the language in
her own special way.
When Sadie learned of the
trouble she was in, she
exclaimed: "They just
elected me public enema
number one." In appealing
to her friend dairyman Ros-
man, she philosophized:
"Listen, you can't go
through life always looking
behind you for a stab in the
back or you'll never see the
good things in front of you. I

Call for Aliya

TEL AVIV (ZINS) — "If
within the next decade we
shall not have a fresh immi-
gration to Israel of at least
two million Jews — a mil-
lion immigrants from the
Diaspora, and a million
from natural increase
through births — then we
have no business in Judea,
Samaria and the Gaza
Strip," Moshe Shamir, a
leader of the Greater Eretz
Yisrael Movement, stated in
a recent article in the
Israeli newspaper Maariv.
