she has taken a leave of
absence from the executive
committee for Americans
For A Safe Israel.
Instead, Ms. King, of New
York, is focusing all of her
efforts on educating Ameri-
can Jewish voters about Mr.
Bush. She has been gather-
ing support for the Jewish
Election Committee, laun-
ched to "reach out to other
Jews whom I know have
supported George Bush who
would now publicly oppose
his election without deciding
if we will go with Bill Clin-
ton or Ross Perot.
"I resigned from the Na-
tional Jewish Coalition
when I realized they would
endorse George Bush," Ms.
King says.
"We keep getting con-
tributions. Every nickel is
spent on advertising, resear-
ch, mail, phone calls. We
have had hundreds of re-
quests for information.
"There are certain Jewish
Republicans who are hesi-
tant to put their names on
our list because they are so
closely aligned," she says.
"They feel that in spite of
what he has done, George
Bush is more trustworthy
than the other candidates. I
don't feel that way."
Detroit area mailboxes
soon could be flooded with
information from the Jewish
Election Committee. Next
week, the Committee will
mail its first brochure.

JCCouncil Says
Get Out And Vote

ing all members of the Jew-
ish community to get out
and vote in the Michigan

Being out of town is no ex-

vacationing or elderly or a
host of other reasons, merely
visit your city, township or

To mail a request, state
your city and precinct and
your reason for requesting
it. Sign the letter and submit

What Is
Michigan Future?
Ever since Doug Ross
returned to Michigan from a
stint as an economic/govern-
Enjoy thunderous / theater-quality sound
in your own home.
Introducing the ELAN' Home Electronics Network from Square D
Doug Ross
mental consultant in
Washington, D.C., last year,
rumors have been flying
about a gubernatorial bid for
the former Michigan com-
merce director.
He doesn't discuss it. It's
not in his plans. But, he
says, plans can change.
Meanwhile, Mr. Ross says
he's focusing energy on
business opportunities that
can fix the state's ailing
economy. To do so, Mr. Ross
and a group of business
leaders throughout the state
have formed Michigan
Future, a bi-partisan, •non-
profit corporation designed
to develop and market a vi-
sion of a future Michigan
with "high-paying jobs and
opportunities to get ahead."
Funding is private. Mr.
Ross serves as executive di-
rector.
In the next eight years,
Michigan Future plans to
design a strategic plan that
will help the state attain its
vision. He and 20 en-
trepreneurs are putting
together a strategy for mov-
ing business into the econo-
my.
"I've done economic con-
sulting all over," Mr. Ross
says. "I've seen that the par-
tisan process lacks the abil-
ity and the credibility to
provide this vision.
"Leadership will come
from the citizens — not from
the government," he says.
"We intend to put together a
broad-based citizen's move-
ment at the grass-roots
level."
Mr. Ross hopes Michigan
Future will complete a slide
presentation by January.
Then he can explain the
mission clearly to Mich-
igan's 9 million residents.
"Michigan is not going
anywhere," he says. "It
doesn't have to stay that
way. Let's make Michigan a
world leader." ❑

oes pre-planning funeral arrangements
mean I have to pay in advance?"
Pre-arranged funeral planning provides the
opportunity to make advance decisions
regarding the service, rabbi, cantor, cemetery,
casket and other details. A record is made of
your requests which is then made available at
a time of need.
Otto Dube is director of Pre-Need Services at
The Ira Kaufman Chapel. An often requested
program, it is a free service to the
community.
Although it is not necessary to pay in
advance for the pre-arranged service, many
people have found it advantageous. By pre-
paying funeral expenses, you are guaranteed
that there will never be additional costs, even
if those costs have increased due to inflation
at the time of need. We can assist you with
the plan best suited for you.
For pre-arrangement information and
assistance, call Otto Dube at 569-0020.
He's here to help.
