Morris Balowitz likes to keep
in shape, and he likes to sing.
True, at 92, he needs a little help to hold a tune.
But, as his daughter Shirley will tell you, the music, exercise
and trips offered by the Fleischman Residence's day program
keep him young.

Japanese-Americans in-
carcerated in internment
camps after the attack on
Pearl Harbor in 1941.
Their division of Nisei,
Americans of Japanese des-
cent, became the most dec-
orated unit of the U.S. arm-
ed forces in World War II. It
received a total of 18,000
citations, an average of
three per soldier.
For reasons still shrouded
in mystery, the soldiers were
forbidden, on penalty of
court martial, to • speak of
their Dachau experience
while still in the armed
forces.
Since then, however, much
attention has been focused
on their exploits and a re-
cent reunion with local Jew-
ish survivors of Dachau in
the San Francisco Bay Area
attracted national media in-
terest in the United States.
Israeli Soldier
Wounded In Lebanon
Tel Aviv (JTA) — An Israel
Defense Force soldier was
severely wounded in the leg
by fragments of a mortar
round that exploded near his
Golani Brigade patrol in the
southern Lebanon security
zone.
The patrol was passing the
ruins of a Crusaders'
stronghold known as
Beaufort Castle, near the
Galilee panhandle, when it
was targeted by Hezbollah
gunmen north of the zone.
The wounded soldier was
identified as Yaniv Levy of
Kibbutz Sdot Yam. He was
reported in serious condition
at Rambam Hospital in
Haifa.
The IDF and its allied
South Lebanon Army
retaliated with heavy ar-
tillery barrages aimed at
Hezbollah-occupied villages
in southern Lebanon. Two
houses in Roumain village,
north of Nabatiya, blew up
when direct hits were scored,
detonating ammunition
dumps concealed inside,
reports from Lebanon said.
At least two Hezbollah
guerrillas were killed. Local
reports said Hezbollah men
were seen dragging the
bodies from the ruins and
searching for others.
Reports from Lebanon said
the Lebanese and Syrian
governments are pressuring
the radical pro-Iranian Hez-
bollah to stop attacking
Israeli targets for fear that
Israel will be goaded into
large-scale reprisals.
Israel Allows
Syrian Overflight
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Israel
helped Syria on a human-
itarian mission recently but
got no thanks.
In response to a request
relayed through a third par-
ty, the Israeli authorities
readily agreed to let a
Syrian military helicopter
fly over Israeli territory to
rescue a group of Syrian
soldiers stranded on Mount
Hermon, the Israeli daily
Ma'ariv reported.
The soldiers were snowed
in at a military outpost on
the Syrian side of the peak,
where severe winter weath-
er blocked all access routes.
Several died, and the sur-
vivors were in poor condi-
tion.
Israel suggested the estab-
lishment of a "hotline" with
Damascus for similar situa-
tions in the future but has
gotten no response, Ma'ariv
said.
