ALTHOUGH THERE
IS very little chance of it
going through, the proposal
was made at a recent South-
field Council meeting and
tabled for a McDonald's to
be built next to Excalibur on
Franklin at Northwestern
and 12 Mile . . . The traffic
would be atrociously horri-
ble on that small
dirt road in front . . . Why
they picked that site we'll
never know . . . It's most ob-
vious that somebody in the
McDonald's organization
really goofed! . . . Certainly
a McDonald's is no competi-
tion to Excalibur by any
means . . . but the traffic
jamming would be horrend-
ous.

Black African Ambassador Implies That
New Relations With Israel Are Imminent
NEW YORK (JTA) —
Addressing a World Jewish
Congress group, the Ivory
Coast Ambassador to the
United Nations,
Amoakin-Edjampan
The iemele, expressed the
hope that the peace treaty
between Israel and Egypt
and all subsequent deci-
sions would be followed by
the eventual restoration of
diplomatic relations be-
tween African countries
and Israel.
"Israel has maintained
good commercial relations
with many African coun-
tries, including the Ivory
Coast, even without dip-
lomatic relations," he said.
The ambassador's state-
ment was considered sig-
nificant because most Afri-
can states have not reacted
to the Israeli-Egytpian
peace treaty.

monies at which a medal

Coast and Kenya sent

ticipate with 23 other

War.
