Israeli search
for safe roads
leads to Bonn

Bonn (JTA) — Israel ex-
perts, visiting West Ger-
man, traffic and safety
engineering sites last week,
predicted that traffic acci-
dents in Israel would be
considerably reduced if
some of the practices usual
in Germany had been
applied to Israel.
Uri Gerashov, the chair-
man of the Israeli Associa-
tion of Safety Officers of
Traffic Engineering, said
Friday in Stuttgart that the
Germans stress the human
factor in preventing traffic
accidents, while in Israel
the tendency is to treat
more prominently such fac-
tors as road conditions and
. traffic signals.
Gerashov and some 40
other members of the asso-
ciation participated in the
trip which took them to in-
stallations in Stuttgart,
Achen, Hamburg and
Frankfurt.
They were especially im-
pressed with the German
police practice of letting
18-year-old youths handle
traffic control and related
jobs which have to do with
safety.
The Israeli group,
Gerashov said, will try to
convince their government
to apply some of the
methods practiced in West
Germany.

Friday movie
in Israel nets
demonstration

Tel Aviv (JTA) — Several
hundred riot-equipped
police and border police dis-
persed hundreds of black-
garbed Orthodox Jews
demonstrating outside a
Petach Tikva movie house
last Friday night as about
1,000 young patrons lined
up to see the American film,
Breakdance.
It was the 16th consecu-
tive Friday night that local
Orthodox elements at-
tempted to interfere with a
performance at the Heichal
Cinema. This time their sh-
outs of "Shabbos, Shabbos"
were drowned out by the
amplified music of "Ben-
zine," a popular rock group
that performed outside the
theater.
The appearance of
baton-wielding police was
sufficient to break up the
demonstration without re-
sort to violence. The Or-
thodox shouted invectives
such as "fascists, Nazis,
pigs, desecrators, murder-
ers" as they retreated.
Earlier in the evening,
thousands of Orthodox Jews
held a mass rally outside
the Petach Tikva city hall to
protest the showing of
• movies on the Sabbath.

ARE YOU
GIVING MONEY AWAY?

Some people still insist on having an old-
fashioned checking account. Letting their
financial institution use their money while they
get no interest for it.
Smart First Federal of Michigan checking
account customers know . better. They earn
interest on the money in their checking
account from the date of their deposit right
up until the day their checks are paid. And that
can add up to a lot of money.
In 1983, the average interest earned by
First Federal regular checking account
customers was over $70. And that's money
they didn't have before. Extra money for a bill,
a gift or a great dinner out. You'can even avoid
monthly service charges by maintaining
a $300 bal-
ance in your
account.
So stop
by any of

our conveniently located offices for details.
And stop giving money away on your check-
ing account.
