To Aid Gaza, West Bank Unique and imaginative gifts with a contemporary flair Brussells (JTA) — The Eu- ropean Community has decided to help the Palestin- ians in the Israeli- administered territories be- cause of the dire financial straits there, according to the European commissioner for Mediterranean affairs. Abel Matutes told the 12 European Community for- eign ministers here that the territories have been brought "close to disaster" by the dou- ble impact of the Persian Gulf crisis and the intifada. Direct financial aid will amount to about $8.5 million this year and will almost double next year, according to E.C. sources. The aid will help redress revenues that have declined by 20 to 40 percent, espe- cially in the Gaza Strip. The fragile economy has been buffeted by a fall-off in donations from the oil-rich Persian Gulf states, which affects mainly hospitals and schools. The simultaneous return of Palestinians who worked in Iraq and Kuwait but no longer have jobs or salaries to send home, aggravates the unemployment problem, the commissioner explained. Palestinians who work in Israel also have trouble fin- ding jobs since the Temple Mount riots on Oct. 8 worsened Arab-Jewish rela- tions. The territories also have been hurt by the devaluation of the Israeli shekel and the Jordanian dinar. Cancer Fund Honors Mason New York (JTA) — A lifetime fellowship was dedicated in the name of Jackie Mason by the Israel Cancer Research Fund, at its 11th annual Tower of Hope Ball. With characteristic self- effacement, Mr. Mason, whose Yiddish- style humor has made smash hits of his one-man shows on Broad- way, told the guests, "I know I'm a great humanitarian but I can't prove it." But Leonard Goldstein, vice president of ICRF, af- firmed that Jackie's "humanitarianism is unsur- passed." Money raised at the ball, held at the Pierre Hotel on Nov. 11, will fund the new Mason Fellowship, which supports a cancer researcher working in Israel. and gallery LOEHMANN'S OF HUNTERS SQUARE MALL 14 MILE & ORCHARD LAKE RD. • FARMINGTON HILLS 855-4488 HOLIDAY HOURS: Mon. thru.
