HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS Swiss Posters Cause Strir Some 200 Geneva (JTA) posters rejecting fascism and anti-Semitism were recently put up by a group of young people in the eastern Swiss town of Brunnen — and quickly torn down. The posters display a man throwing a swastika into a garbage can and slogans such as "Keep Your Sur- roundings Clean." The 20- year-old woman who cre- ated the posters told the Zurich Jewish weekly — Fiorello La Guardia, the legendary Italian-American mayor of New York City, was born to a Jewish mother and a lapsed Catholic father. He was raised Episcopalian and became a Freemason.

The artist said she had been watching with trepida- tion the growth of neo-Nazi groups whose members dress like skinheads in leather vests and boots. "I decided it was enough for now and that something had to be done, rather than wait until things got as bad as in Germany," she said. The artist, together with a group of 20 friends, printed and put up the posters at night. "I gladly spent part of my salary on this," she said. She also wanted to awake her region, which is the German- speaking part of Switzerland, to what is go- ing on and prevent a recur- rence of what happened 50 years ago. The Israeleitische Wochenblatt writes that a few members of the anti- fascist group have received threatening letters. However, they have not been deterred. They say they are delighted with the positive reaction they have received from the media and much of the population, which exceeded their expec- tations. In Brunnen on Aug. 1, a Tamil from Sri Lanka was beaten up and about 40 neo- Nazis demonstrated, bearing emblems proclaiming, "I am proud to be Swiss." Local citizens wrote letters to their newspaper condemn- ing the neo-Nazis. Commenting on this, the creator of the anti-fascist posters said, "We shall not give up. Our next step will be to talk with the racists about their ideas." ❑ FENBY STEIN Creating Special Times BEST WISHES FOR A HAPPY, HEALTHY NEW YEAR 133IDT1 (313) 553-9966 naliz HAPPY NEW YEAR TO OUR CLIENTS FAMILIES AND FRIENDS LOCATIONS, LOCATIONS, LOCATIONS Jonathan Brateman Properties 474-3855 our Customers, Faint les and Friends A Healthy, Happy New 4 r - Wishing You and Yours a Picture Perfect Year!
