Undaunted, Lazar con- tacted local businessmen and asked them to sponsor booths. Despite a rainstorm and a shortage of volunteers, Lazar collected more than $2,000. "So naturally, this year he wanted to do something big- ger and better," recalled his father. "He wanted rides. I was adamant. I said absolute- ly no way. So we're having them." After several months con- tacting local businesses, Lazar has completed most of the planning. The owners of the Crowne Pointe Office Center at Lincoln and Green- field have donated their park- ing lot for the carnival, and local businesses have donated $3,000 — enough money for carnival rides, a dunk tank, a moon walk, several midway games, food and drinks. In ad- dition, Lazar has collected $1,000 in direct contributions by standing in front of the Bread Basket Deli and Deli Unique. Planning the event was an educational process for Jeff. He had to make ar- rangements with an in- surance company, the police department, the city council, and a landlord in New York. The only problem not yet resolved is electricity. "We're still trying to get a generator," his father said. At first, Lazar tried to get a group of his friends involv- ed. "In the beginning, everybody was gung-ho about it," he said. "Then it became, `this is a lot of work — I'll see you later.' " Since then, it has been just Lazar and his parents. "We really need volunteers 18 years and older to work the carnival," Lazar said. Lazar and his parents hope to raise $5,000. All physical- ly and mentally handicapped children are invited at no cost to the event. This year's carnival is not even finished yet, and Lazar is already planning the next one. He is considering mak- ing it a three-day event. "But I'm going to run it a lot dif- ferently," he adds. "I'm going to try to recruit adult volunteers to do a lot of the work. It's just too much for me and my parents to do alone?' ❑ Flag-burning Decision Gets Quiet Support Washington — Ardor seems to be cooling for a constitu- tional amendment to prohibit flag burning, and that privately pleases a number of Jewish activists who have watched the emotion-charged issue with unease. The American Jewish Con- gress applauded last month's Supreme Court controversial decision on flag burning and is now considering open op- position to the proposed con- stitutional amendment. Also, the National Jewish Community Relations Ad- visory Council recently sent a letter to congressional leaders urging a go-slow approach to amending the Constitution. Al Chernin, the group's ex- ecutive vice-chairman, in- dicated that NJCRAC does see a Jewish stake in flag bur- ning legislation, but said that the group has not announced a position on the actual amendment. The flag-burning frenzy has put Jewish activists here in an uncomfortable position. "On one hand, it's our kind of issue," said the Washington representative of a major Jewish organization. "Whenever you talk about tinkering with freedom of ex- pression, Jews should get ner- vous. On the other hand, nobody wants to be out front on this one; we have enough problems without having our patriotism challenged in the midst of this flag hysteria." Bill To Limit PLO Talks May Reappear Washington — The Helms amendment, the recent at- tempt to curtail the U.S. dialogue with the Palestine Liberation Organization, is not quite dead after all. Rep. Ed Feighan, D-Ohio, has introduced a bill that would restore some of the tough language omitted from the hard-fought Senate com- promise, including the re- quirement that the president "certify" that PLO represen- tatives involved in the talks have not participated in any terrorist activities resulting in the death, injury or kid- napping of an American citizen.
