Busy Women Working on Phonogift
What does a telephone
solicitor for the Allied
Jewish Campaign-Israel
Emergency Fund say when
a prospect feels not enough
Campaign money is allo-
cated to her favorite
agency? Or when a prospect
says, quickly, she'll give
what she gave last year?
Solutions to these and
other problems likely to
occur were answered at
briefing sessions for the 600
volunteers who are par-
ticipating in Phonogift, the
Allied Jewish Campaign-
Israel Emergency Fund
Women's Division's annual
telephOne effort. The
eight-day drive began last
Sunday and continues
through this Sunday. Ap-
proximately 8,000 area
women will have been cal-
led and asked to pledge to
the Campaign by the time
Phonogift ends.
"If someone feels her
favorite agency is being
slighted, point out that we
serve more than 60 agencies
around the world," said
briefer Doris August. "You
can add that the more
money we raise, the greater
each agency's share will be;
maybe the prospect will
even increase her pledge.
"For those who simply
say 'I'll give what I gave
last year.' point out that
the need this year is grea-
ter than ever before," she
said. "Tell the prospect
what an increase will do
— that $2 more will buy a
pair of shoes for a Moroc-
can child, for example, or
that $18 more will pro-
vide a counseling session
for an unemployed per-
son at the Jewish Voca-
tional Service."
Briefers are available on
the spot at LaMed Au-
ditorium of the United Heb-
rew Schools to answer ques-
tions callers may have.
Clerical volunteers prepare
immediate billings, and
drivers are on hand to pick
up contributions from
donors' homes.
"The Motor Corps is basi-
cally a service for the el-
derly and for those without
checking accounts," said
Mrs. August. "Sometimes
an older woman will say, 'I
haven't a bank account, but
I've put aside $3 for the
Campaign. When can you
come and get it?' We note
the time she's likely to be
home and someone will pick
up the contribution."
Baylee Franklin is
Phonogift chairman. Janice
Schwartz is associate
chairman. Dulcie Rosenfeld
is chairman of the Women's
Division campaign and
Carolyn Greenberg is divi-
sion president.

Journalist Hopeful
on Peace Talks
Addressing the lawyers'
and pharmacists' divisions
of the Allied Jewish Cam-
paign on March 8 at the
Bnai David, a prominent Is-
raeli journalist expressed
optimism that the pending
peace negotiations between
Israel and Egypt can suc-
ceed.
Daniel Bloch, who heads
the Jerusalem bureau of the
Hebrew daily Davar, who
was with Israeli delegation
in Cairo after the Sadat
visit in Jerusalem and with
Menahem Begin in Ismailia
for talks with Egyptian
President Sadat, joined in
the view that Sadat's sincer-
ity must be viewed realisti-
cally. He acceded to the
opinion that the delibera-
tions have a good chance for
positive results.
Bloch is the son of Dora
Bloch, the hostage who was
murdered at Entebbe.
Make Way for Lady Drivers
By MOSHE RON
The Jewish News Special
Israel Correspondent
TEL AVIV — The rabbis
in Israel are discussing
whether a religious woman
should drive a car. Some of
them argue that this should
be forbidden, as a woman
should not sit together with
a male driving teacher at
the wheel.
Others maintain there is
no veto against learning to
drive for women in the
Jewish laws. But the prob-
lem remains that a religious
woman is only allowed to sit
with her husband.
The Minister for Labor
some years ago organized a
course for women teachers.
Some of them are now work-
ing successfully as driving
teachers.
Israel's
Agudat
"Hamodia" published an
advertisement for such a
teacher in Jerusalem,
someone willing to teach
Commenting on the
status of Arab-Israel rela-
tions internally, Bloch re-
pudiated the reports that
there was great animosity
there.
"The Arabs in the so-
called . West Bank are be-
religious women. Dozens
of religious women im-
mediately applied for
driving lessons. The
teacher, Mrs. Helen
Bar-Jacob, is ready to
come to any place in the
country to teach religious
women.
Mrs. Bar-Jacob uses the
lessons to introduce her
pupils to the beauty of
Jerusalem. Many of the Or-
thodox women have rarely
left their home quarter in
the city.
Policemen still have to
become accustomed to the
idea of women driving
teachers.
She told us: "It will
take some time until men
will look with respect on us,
when they see a woman
driving teacher with a pupil
in the car and will not ask:
'Where is the teacher?' "
It is against the law to
slap a man on the back in
