Budget Problems Hurting Israel's Defense Industry TEL AVIV (JTA) — The Defense Ministry has in- formed the Israel Manufac- turers Association that it will be forced to switch or- ders for goods previously made locally to foreign suppliers, against payment in dollars, owing to a shor- tage of local currency be- cause of defense budget cuts. A ministry decision to order about $1 million worth of a special barbed wire needed for new airfield construction in the Negev from an American company was canceled recently fol- lowing the intervention of Commerce and • Industry Minister Gideon Patt. If the order had been placed abroad, some 400 workers at a factory in the development town of Kiryat Gat would'have been made idle.

The shattered heart that beats So hollow now — within me. In one unguarded m ovment Two of most beloved My son-in-law — Bruno And my only grandson — Danny Snuffed out in one helpless moment My heart still beats but It cries out in anguish The depth, I have never known before It is ravaged, torn, Ready to burst wide open An unequal thrust of death. . From the great beauty of Venezia Bruno, the father, proud, tall into the sky A classic face, so quiet, so full of love He spoke so softly in a gentle voice This my gentle giant of a man How proud was I to say of him This is my son (actually my son-in-law). Danny, my grandson, almost three "Smendrick" Devil boy who galloped into my heart To capture it complete and yet Share It With his beauty sister, EliZ abetta. He never learned to walk He galloped wildly into life He stirred the very walls, so immobile In almost three short years He crowed into his life span.. Oh that I had words — Nay — just one To tell _of such, my mazik boy. And as I write my heart cries out Unrelenting, unknowing, bewildered WHY? More than life itself I loved this boy I loved Bruno too And now I cry or I must die. They are gone — ne'er again Will I ever hear their voices. When first he (Danny) sat "Erev Shabbos" He listened to my prayers "Yom Ha She, She" And when I finished he nodded His blond tossled head And said (Si) he knew no English then. I-have cried a thousand tears Surely there can be no more But, on the morrow — more do come How can I face the days to come Without that "Mazik" voice 1 Love So Dear Now another sorrow has descended My loving daughter — Linda — torn apart I see her face — and I am numb Oh that God would give me One single word To solve such grief One single word — Just one. At times my heart doth overflow Then I can weep My wife each day I know Is a lesser woman in her strength She does not weep —I see her ebbing Deep within her grief And I stand by and grieve again. Oh Lord, how much can you ask From my war torn heart Is this my personal holocaust And yet A Miracle By God's grace — Elizabetta is intact And day by day I have taught her On "Ereu Shabbos" to say "Ah Main" for me God give me strength to endure that I may Give some to my Linda. Friday, January 30, 1981 27 (313) 851.9640 ADDENDA Yesterday I went with Linda to the graves A journey into grief We stopped for flowers for her loved ones So tenderly she carried them "Dad" this is where I will be She pointed Beside my husband and child I saw the grief, deep within her eyes I could not speak I said a Yiskadal for Bruno I said a Yiskadal for Danny And then I walked away I knew she wanted to be alone With her two beloved. Thru misty eyes I watched her A lone lost bundle of grief Weeping from out her heart I heard some words she murmured "My life is over" She stood there so immobile, so alone For ever so long'it seemed Then she bent down and ever go gently Brushed off all the dust Upon the grave sites And I looked on and grieved again. P.S. — Upon the grave site of Danny I read July 12th This is the day of my birth.
