THE ROLEX CASE
FOR INTEGRITY
The renowned Rolex® Oyster® case is carved
from a solid block of 18kt. gold or stainless
steel to form an impregnable vault. It
guarantees pressure-proof integrity down to
330 feet for this Rolex GMT-Master® in
stainless steel with matching Oyster bracelet.
With 24-hour hand for simultaneous time in
two zones, the GMT is self-winding;
its integrity is self-evident.

here in the 1970s and 1980s
and sought their input,"
Rosenthal said. "We think
this is the consensus of the
best way Detroit can handle
resettlement and accultura-
tion."
JEFF, run by the Fresh
Air Society, will receive
$40,000 from the Federation
for the additional respon-
sibility. Harlene Appelman,
recently promoted from
JEFF director to Fresh Air
Society director of family
planning, will direct the
program.
Appelman will coordinate
programs for Soviets with
local temples, synagogues,
youth groups, volunteer
organizations, other Federa-
tion agencies and institu-
tions within the Jewish
community. JEFF's primary
responsibility in this role
will be to develop family-
oriented acculturation pro-
grams for new Americans.
This acculturation will
enable Soviets opportunities
for family, Shabbat and
holiday activities as well as
for scholarships for camp,
day schools, Hebrew school
and child care.
"It is the committee's in-
tention to involve the entire
Jewish community in the
resettlement of Soviet
Jews," the resettlement
committee's report states.
"We want to assist an al-
ready comprehensive system
in working more effec-
tively." "Outreach to the
local Soviet Jewish com-
munity should be increased
to assist in the estab-
lishment of a cohesive com-
munity."
Among the committees
recommendations were: pro-
viding scholarships to Soviet
children for camp, Hebrew
school and other accultura-
tion classes; expanding the
family-to-family program of
the Federation women's
division and the National
Council of Jewish Women.
Recent Soviet emigres are
excited about efforts to pro-
vide new programming.
"I am glad and think it is
very, very nice to know that
the Jewish community is in-
terested in us," said Mikhil
Shpigel, an electrical engi-
neer who moved to Detroit
two months ago. "My main
problem is finding a job." ❑

Wins Nobel
San Francisco (JTA) — An-
other Jewish name was add-
ed to the roster of significant
contributors to human
knowledge when Dr. Harold
Varmus, a virologist at the
University of California-San
Francisco Medical Center,
and his colleague, Dr. J.
Michael Bishop, were
awarded the 1989 Nobel
Prize for Medicine.
The two researchers, who
are professors of
microbiology, biochemistry
and biophysics at UCSF
Medical Center and interna-
tionally recognized au-
thorities on viruses that
cause cancer, discovered how
a normal gene that controls
cell growth can change and
cause cancer.
Varmus, 49, was born and
raised in Freeport, N.Y.
Both men received word of
the award in the early morn-
ing hours of Oct. 9, Yom
Kippur, and celebrated with
a champagne breakfast.
They later attended the
decisive game in the Na-
tional League baseball
playoffs, which the home
team, the San Francisco
Giants, won.
Ben-Gurion U.
Gets $1 Million
Montreal (JTA) — A $1
million graduate scholarship
fund donated to Israel's Ben-
Gurion University of the
Negev by the Japan Ship-
building Foundation was
hailed as encouraging amid
reports of increasing anti-
Semitism in Japan.
Rabbi - Jordan Pearlson,
national president of the
university's Canadian Asso-
ciates, said the Ryoichi
Sasakawa Young Leaders
Foundation grant for
graduate students in hu-
manities and social sciences
was "particularly signifi-
cant and encouraging in
light of the anti-Semitic
publications which have re-
cently flooded Japan."
Ex-Nazi Dies
After Release
Amsterdam (JTA) — The
last remaining ex-Nazi held
in a Dutch prison, who was
released last Jan. 27, died
some days ago in the West
German village of Bigge,
southeast of Dortmund.
Franz Fischer, 87, whose
release from the Dutch
prison in Breda on Jan. 27
caused much debate and
psychological trauma in
Holland, was the last sur-
vivor of two aged Nazi war
criminals who had come to
be known as "The Breda
Two." They were in turn
once part of a quartet of
Nazis in that prison called
the "Foiir of Breda."
