FIRST TIVE EVER! MICHIGAN DESIGN CENTER'S ample ale 0'• Yisrael Pality frequent visitors to Israel. She said that until a few days ago, she and her hus- band Joel had no problems sending Stewart to Israel. "But for the last few days we were just waiting to hear that the trip was cancelled." She said the Goldens are planning to go to Israel later this year. Brad Finegood, a 10th grader at Berkley High School, made a joint decision with his family this week not to go on the trip. "I was concerned that if something happened in Israel, I might not be able to get out," he said. "We made the decision Sunday when (U.N. Secre- tary General Javier) Perez de Cuellar came back from Iraq." Brad said several friends at Berkley High pulled out of the trip several weeks ago, but he held out until the last minute. He hopes to go next year. A classmate, Adi Pality, OPEN TO THE PUBLIC FOR THIS SPECIAL EVENT ONLY!

He knows he won't defeat Israel by sending over a few missiles." said he is not concerned about security in Israel. Adi was born in Israel and has made extended visits to see family and friends. "I had mixed feelings — not about security but about the shrinking numbers and that the tension in Israel would not allow me to do the things I wanted to do," Adi said. "If I wanted to jump on a bus to go to Tel Aviv, or sign out to visit my grand- mother, I'm not sure that they would let me do that" because of the war tensions. "I also wanted to go with 15- 20 other students and the numbers had dropped to 12 nationally." Sharon Pality, a native of Iowa who met her husband Yisrael on a kibbutz, said she is relieved the trip was postponed. "Youth Aliyah and the Jewish Welfare Fed- eration didn't want anything to happen to our children. I believe it is in our best interest and I know Adi will get to Israel again." Yisrael Pality said he tele- phoned his mother in Israel last week, "but of course the situation there is not the same today as it was then." On Tuesday, Mr. Pality remained optimistic that there will not be a war. "There is too much risk for everyone," he said. "Saddam Hussein may be crazy but he's not stupid. He knows he won't defeat Israel by send- ing over a few missiles. He just wants to involve the other Arab countries." Seven Detroiters par- ticipating since September in the college-age Project Otzma, a one-year program in Israel similar to the U.S. Peace Corps, left Israel. Five returned to Detroit on Tues- day for what they said would be "a few weeks," and two opted to travel in Europe. "Most of the kids did not want to leave," Mrs. Maas said. "It was really pressure from the parents. It's under- standable." She said the Council of Jewish Federa- tions, which helps under- write the program, sug- gested the Otzma par- ticipants take a two-week vacation out of Israel and provided plane tickets. The Israel Program Center is establishing a volunteer line, to be maimed by the Otzma participants. Persons wishing to go to Israel to work at jobs that would allow soldiers to join their Israel Defense Force units are asked to call 661-5440. Job skills will be catalogued and the volunteers contacted when needed. ❑ Amom U III 13 MILE 01 3I dHMOS Mrs. Fisher has a daughter, parents, brothers and sisters in Israel. As Jan. 15 — the last date the United Nations set for Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait — approached, her family ex- pressed concern, but never panic or hysteria, she said. Meanwhile, Detroit area registrations for summer programs in Israel are down from last year's levels, said Sivan Maas of the Israel Program Center at the Jew- ish Community Center. The office continues to receive inquiries about summer programs, Mrs. Maas said. Three Jewish 10th graders in the Detroit area were scheduled to leave during the first week in February for the spring high school in Israel program. Last year, Detroit had nine participants in the program. But on Tuesday, the par- ticipants received word that the high school program was postponed until next year. Stewart Golden, a sophomore at Andover High School, said he "sort of ex- pected" the postponement, "but it's sad it had to be that way." Stewart's mother, Linda Golden, said the family are Michigan Design Center, 1700 Stutz, Troy, is located 3 blocks east of Coolidge, north off of Maple (15 Mile Road). 313/649-4772 vc CA\ Deftc\ ceveR Chiropractic Health Hints WITH DR. STANLEY LEVINE, D.C. DISC DEGENERATION Many people who have had spinal x-rays have been told they have degenerated discs and may have needlessly accepted the suffering without exploring all treatment avenues which migh possibly help. With age, almost all discs will degenerate due to a variety of factors such as previous injury, genetics, and other unknown factors. Some discs begin to degenerate at an early age. Many adults will have a single disc in their lower back begin to "thin" by age 35 to 40 years. When a disc begins to degenerate, it allows the joint to move improperly causing pinching of the joint. The term used for this is "impingement." As impingement is the source of the pain, not the disc degeneration itself, treatment which cor- rects impingement will often totally relieve the pain associated with disc degeneration. Chiropractic manipulation has proven to be a good method of correction of the impingement associated with disc degeneration. In a large study of chronic back patients at the Department of Orthopedics at University Hospital, Saskatchewan, researchers found that chiropractic manipula- tion was 80% effective in relieving back pain. Many patients had disc degeneration causing joint impingement and yet still had good results with chiropractic manipulation. Anyone who has been condemned to a life of back pain because of disc degeneration should consider chiropractic treatment. Don't Live With Pain. We Can Help!
