Phyllis and Albert Newman
Hospital's Ein Karem
Speech and Hearing Center
in Jerusalem.
The Newmans, active
members of Hadassah,
started the project when
Israeli government and in-
surance funding for hearing
aids was phased out.
"There is usually money
for life-saving procedures,"
said Mrs. Newman, a past
president of Hadassah's
Greater Detroit Chapter.
"But people need to re-
member about quality of life,
too."
The Newmans, who fund
an endowment in pediatric
audiology at Hadassah
Hospital, learn& about the
need for hearing aids in
ISrael from the head of the
hospital's Speech and Hear-
ing Center.
"It's the poor and elderly
that most often suffer," said
Mr. Newman. "I thought I
could see what I could do."
Mr. Newman, who has
made more than 30 trips to
Israel, contacted an out-of-
state manufacturer of hear-
ing aids. The manufacturer
agreed to repair for free any
hearing aid the Newmans
sent. Mr. Newman sends
and, frequently, hand
delivers shipments of
repaired hearing aids.
The Newmans receive
used hearing aids from
Hadassah chapters around
the country. They also have
started to receive them from
the National Association for
the Homes for the Aged.
Arnold Budin, executive
director of the Jewish Home
for Aged in Detroit, is work-
ing with the Newmans and
the Greater Detroit Chapter
of Hadassah.
"We commend the
Newmans' efforts on behalf
of the hearing impaired,"
Mr. Budin said. "We want to
start donating our clients'
used hearing aids."
All sorts of people benefit
from the Newmans' project:
A 70-year-old widower; an
86-year-old man who im-
migrated to Israel from the
Soviet Union; a 90-year-old
Lithuanian woman who hid
more than 20 Jews in her
home during World War II.
"I sat with a man from
Dimona while he was being
fitted with one of our hear-
ing aids," Mrs. Newman
said. "There are few greater
thrills than watching some-
one regain his or her hear-
ing. "

Awed By Their Guest

o matter what,
nothing quite mat-
ches the excitement
of a leisurely chat with the
president of the United
--States.
President George Bush
and his motorcade held up
traffic during rush hour on
Monday, but those waiting
for him inside the Southfield
Civic Center were oblivious
0 - to any problems such a guest
may bring.
"It was the first time I had
ever seen a president other
,,than on television," said
Southfield Officer Mike
Mellec. "Whether you are a
Republican or a Democrat,
when someone of that status
comes to town and you have
an opportunity to see him, it
is exciting."
Mr. Bush, in Detroit for
I N
half a day for a GOP fund-
raiser, came to Southfield for
an open forum with law en-
forcement officials, judges,
prosecutors and invited
guests.
He sat on a stool, shook
hands and even told a few
jokes. He answered ques-
tions about law and order,
calling for tougher sentences
for drug dealers and ad-
vocating a federally man-
dated capital punishment
policy. The president said he
was disappointed with the
decline of family values,
