Born in Poland in 1910,
Almogi emigrated to Pales-
tine in 1930. In 1933, he left
his settlement to become a
member of the Hagana,
the Jewish self-defense
force which was organized
primarily to counteract
Arab raids and later became
the nucleus for Israel's
army. After a period of in-

Command, the general staff
of the defense unit.
At the outbreak of
World War H in Europe,
he joined the Jewish
Brigade of the British
Army as an officer and
fought against Germany

and interned. For over

commander of the

Rothstein Seeks Mayor Post
Charlotte M. Rothstein
has been drafted as a write-
in candidate for mayor of
Oak Park.
Rothstein, who was first
elected to the Oak Park City
Council in 1973 and served
as mayor pro tem in 1976-
1977 and 1980 - 1981, has
served the community for
27 years in Bnai Brith, the
Anti-Defamation League,
National League of Cities,
Woolen in Municipal Gov-
ernment, Oak Park's Plan-
ning, Arts and Cultural,
and Energy Conservation
Advisory Commissions and
the Oak Park Symphony
Society.
On November 3, you will have the opportunity of electing
those individuals who will represent you on the City Council
for the ensuing Council term. In my judgment, one candidate
stands out as having the background and experience necessary to
provide direction and leadership for our City. That individual
is Peter J. Cristiano.
Peter Cristiano has been a resident of Southfield for 21
years and during that period of time, he served for 12 years
as the Administrator of our City. In that roll he had the
responsibility of the day to day hands on management of the
City, and was recognized as one of the leading City Administrators
in the country. During Peter's tenure, the City of Southfield
was made the All-American City and the life support unit was
implemented which has resulted in countless lives being saved
because of their response to medical emergencies.
During 1979 Peter had an opportunity to move into private
enterprise and left his responsibilities as City Administrator.
He now believes that he has the time and the desire to further
serve the citizens of Southfield as one of our elected City
Councilmen. I believe that the creativity and dedication to
responsibility which Peter evidenced as the City's Administrator
will be utilized in the continuing service of the City if Peter
is elected to City Council.
I strongly urge you, on November 3rd, to vote for Peter J.
Cristiano for our City Council.
Very truly yours,
The first ingredient in
conversation is truth; the
next, good sense; the third,
good humor; and the fourth,
wit.
