My style is quality. Furniture is very expensive. If you use quality pieces, good design is
ageless. One should buy a few pieces and one should buy the best they can afford.

Ethiopian Immigration
To Israel Resumes
Jerusalem (JTA) — A
planeload of 220 Ethiopian
Jews landed in Israel late
last week, raising hope here
that the interruption of
emigration from that coun-
try recently has ended.
The olim were the first to
arrive from Ethiopia since
the beginning of the month.
Jewish Agency officials ex-
pect another 600 to arrive
before Passover.
The immigrants landed
March 22 at 9 a.m. local
time, having left Addis
Ababa the previous day on a
regularly scheduled Ethio-
pian flight to Rome. They
transferred there to an El Al
flight to Tel Aviv.
The latest arrivals includ-
ed many children and elder-
ly people dressed in their
traditional white garb.
But there were a fair
number of young adults
wearing Western-style
jeans. Some of the young
women seem to have bought
fashionable frocks during
their short stopover in
Rome.
There were emotional reu-
nions at the Ben-Gurion
Airport. One passenger, a
youth of 17, was reunited
with his parents whom he
had not seen for 10 years.
The immigrants were
taken directly to an absorp-
tion center in Acre. Uri Gor-
don, head of the Jewish
Agency's Immigration and
Absorption Department,
said several new centers
would open in the next few
months to accommodate E-
thiopian olim.

because it may prevent you from making a costly mistake. You don't have to use too
many pieces, but a few quality pieces, then color the walls to create an ambiance.
States in holding together
the coalition.
What kind of message
will we be sending to our
Arab allies in Cairo or
Riyadh now if the Israelis
are effectively punished
and the Palestinians, par-
ticularly the PLO, are
rewarded?
We must treat the ap-
proaching controversies and
dangers imposed upon Israel
as mounting in scope. There
is still the aspect of the
miracle on the road to the
much-desired peace. We
must not abondon hope for
goodwill and common sense
in the struggles at hand.
This is the miracle to
which we are treated by
Rachel Canaan-Kaplan of
West Bloomfield. ❑
Department called the
resumption of Ethiopian
Jewish emigration a
"positive development."
"We are hopeful that the
rate of emigration of the
Falashas will continue to
rise and that no further
interruptions will occur,"
said Richard Boucher, the
department's deputy
spokesman.
"We call upon the Ethio-
pian government to make it
possible for all Ethiopian
Jews who wish to emigrate
to do so without further
delay," he said.
A mystery still surrounds
the abrupt halt of Ethiopian
aliyah around March 1 after
weekly flights had brought
about 2,000 Jews from Addis
Ababa since the beginning of
the year.
The Ethiopian government
is currently facing stiff
military opposition from re-
bel forces seeking to wrest
control of the country, and it
was rumored the flights
were originally halted as a
way to pressure Israel into
supplying Ethiopia with
much-needed weapons and
fuel. This was brusquely
dismissed by both Israeli
and Ethiopian officials.
Ethiopian officials insist
that the regime of Ethiopian
President Mengistu Haile
Mariam regards Jewish
emigration as a purely hu-
manitarian undertaking to
reunite families.
Israeli officials accepted
the official Ethiopian ex-
planation that "technical
difficulties" were responsi-
ble for the suspension.
ON EXPERIENCE
You dress yourself everyday. You learn what's becoming for you. You don't decorate your
house every day. You do it three times in your lifetime. So how can you learn from your
mistakes? A designer does it everyday. We are trained to be interior designers. We know
about proportion, we know about
color, we know about function.
Most importantly, we know about
sources.
