working parents, Michigan's
policy to promote family day
care and with the Michigan
Child Care Act's authorization
of residential day care. Prohib-
ition of residential day care
does not further the ordi-
nances' intent of promoting the
health, safety, general welfare
and overall quality of life in
our cities.
We urge others to join us in
appealing to our mayors, city
councils and planning commis-
sions to allow in home child
care to continue. We invite
concerned citizens to join us for
a town meeting at the Far-
mington Library, Saturday,
Feb. 7, at 11-3 p.m.

Jewish Priority
With regard to Rudy Simons'
article about El Salvador (Jan.
16), I can only hope that he and
his ecumenical friends are as
concerned with the plight of
captive Jews in the Com-
munist bloc, Arab countries
(Syria, Iran etc.) and Ethiopia
as they are with the situation
in El Salvador.

Better Honor
For Rev. King
Michigan, as.well as most of
these United States, cele-
brated the birthday of Martin
Luther King Jr. on Jan. 19. As
a legal holiday, government
workers had the day off — no
mail, no garbage collection,
etc. But why in Detroit, Oak
Park and Southfield no school?
I do not dispute Dr. King's
greatness, nor challenge the
holiday. But if he were alive
today, I wonder if he would ap-
prove of locking school doors to
celebrate his birthday. He
knew the high value of educa-
tion. He recognized education
as a vital key to his people's
progress.
Commemorate the man's
birth with school programs.
Focus on his teachings. Keep
the kids in school. They cannot
learn brotherhood watching
cartoons or roaming the shop-
ping malls.

Greater Legacy
For Children
"To My Grandchildren: For
Thee I Continue to Weep," by
Irving Field, is an article un-
worthy of publication (Jan. 16).
It is a litany of ugly headlines,
stories that our children need
not be reminded of, since they
depict the worst of human con-
duct and values.
It is our responsibilities as
parents and grandparents to
have a greater legacy to pass
on than impoverished tears.
In that same edition in
which Mr. Field's article ap-
peared, the weekly Torah por-
tion spoke of Jacob teaching
his descendants the great
ideal: "It is in the unselfish
dedication to the values of jus-
tice and love, without thought
of recompence or award, that
we achieve Judaism's highest
vision and most exulted ful-
fillment."

Negotiations
Vs. Treason
The response by Milton
Steinhardt (Jan. 16) to our let-
ter (Jan. 2) supporting
dialogue with one's enemies,
and our condemnation of the
Knesset law which makes
criminals of those Israelis who
have the courage to engage in
dialogue and debate with those
associated with the PLO, is fil-
led with baseless assumptions.
He charges that because of the
existence of the PLO Cove-
nant, any discussion with the
PLO amounts to suicide for Is-
rael and anyone who engages
in such discussion is guilty of
treason and supports the dis-
mantlement of Israel. It is dif-
ficult to imagine charges so
removed from the truth.
Neither those in the Israeli
peace movement who have
engaged in dialogue with
representatives of the PLO nor
those of us in the U.S. who sup-
port the Israeli peace move-
ment have anything but con-
tempt for the Palestinian
Covenant. Yet we support both
informal dialogue and debate
between Israelis and represen-
tatives of the PLO and direct
negotiations between the gov-
ernment of Israel and the PLO.
A call to negotiate with one's
enemy is hardly an endorse-
ment of the position of that
enemy. It is merely an acknow-
ledgment of the fact that if
peace is to be achieved it must
be the outcome of negotiation
with the enemy. It is up to the
Palestinians, not the Israelis,
to choose their representa-
tives.
What would our reaction
have been in 1947 if it had been
proposed that the Jews of the
Yishuv could be partners in
negotiation, but not represen-
tatives of the Zionist move-
ment? And to insist upon the
PLO changing its Covenant as
a precondition for even sitting
at the peace table offers as lit-
tle hope for achieving peace as
a Palestinian call for Israel to
accept a Palestinian right to
self-determination without
any reciprocal acceptance of
the State of Israel, as a precon-
dition for Israeli participation
in the peace process.
There have been numerous
proposals and statements corn-
ing from leadership within the
PLO which seem to indicate
significant movement from the
rejectionist positions of their
covenant and — at least im-
plicitly — offers the possibility
of a peace settlement based on
o
