GRAN, elven
After 13 years in Southfield, I have moved my office to Olson
Oldsmobile, just 7 minutes from Telegraph and 12 Mile!
Anyone can sell you an oldsmobile. However, I can now offer
you one of the finest service departments in the country, rated
98% customer satisfaction by Oldsmobile!
For my customers, both old & new, I can now, once again offer
my personal demo to you as a loaner when your car needs
service! Furthermore the price will be right!
Come in and use me!

lags far behind the United
States in terms of technical
know-how on fighting fires,
mentioned that creating an
exchange student program
between the United States
and Israel focused on fire-
fighting would help Israel to
catch up. He added that
educating the Israeli public
about fire prevention —
through media programs
similar to the Smokey the
Bear campaign in America —
would help to prevent those
fires caused by negligence.
Generally optimistic about
the future success of the plan,
Sas said that it would work to
accomplish two goals: to
reduce the damage to Israeli
forests by 75 to 80 per cent;
and to discourage Palestin-
ians from using arson as a
tool against their enemies.
"We can solve [the prob-
lem]," Sas said. "We can do it.
It will take time, but I'm sure
that in the next year or so we
will achieve our goals." ■

plan consists of building a
network of 60 watchtowers in
Israel — a network that
would permit J.N.F. employ-
ees to spot fires quickly,
reducing response time to
perhaps 10 to 20 minutes.
New fire engines, as well as
additional personal equip-
ment for firefighters, would
also work to improve the
situation.
"In the last two months we
had more than 10 [incidents
of fire] per day," said Sas.
"One day there were up to 20
[incidents.]. We could not deal
with the fires with the
amount of equipment we had.
We could deal with only a few
fires a day"
Even when additional man-
power is obtained by calling
in the help of municipal fire
brigades, army and police, the
J.N.F. still lacks the engines
and necessary personal attire
with which to equip these
people, said Sas.

The Jewish National Fund
Council of Greater Detroit
has begun a community-wide
emergency campaign to offset
the $30 million in damages
caused by forest fires in
Israel. Detroit JNF President
Sue Ellen Eisenberg told an
emergency board of directors
meeting that "This will be an
opportunity for all those who
cherish Israel to respond to
those who despise the land
and seek to destroy it; to those
who prove by their crimes
that they are unworthy of this
good earth."
"Every Jew," she said,
"should react as if his own
trees were being burned down
and, together with his Israeli
brethren, personally feel com-
mitted to replacing every tree
lost with ten new saplings."
JNF in Israel needs fire
engines, forest observation
towers and communications
systems to battle against the
arsons.
The Jewish Welfare Federa-
tion of Detroit, along with
federations across the coun-
try, are endorsing the cam-
paign. Ms. Eisenberg said
$300,000 in cash is required
from Detroit by Sept. 15.
Mark Schlussel, vice presi-
dent of the Jewish Welfare
Federation and former presi-
dent of JNF, is chairing this
emergency campaign. A ma-
jor parlor meeting will be
held at his home Sept. 1. A
local mail campaign and
telephone solicitations have
raised $40,000 over the past
two weeks. Congregational_
appeals and sermons have
been made over Tisha B'Av.
Serving on the Emergency
Steering Committee with
Schlussel are Edythe Jackier,
Jill Davis Bernstein, Norman
Allan and Dr. Michael
Dworkin. Harold Jaffa is
liaison to B'nai B'rith.
