From CRUZ HEARING AID SERVICE The Button Men by Felix Cruz Hearing Aid Specialist RECOMMENDED SCREENINGS FOR ALL INFANTS It is an unfortunate fact of life that Cn uJ CO LLJ 1- 0 CC F- LJJ cp LU 50 one in every 1,000 babies born in this country is either deaf or afflicted with a severe hearing disorder at birth. To add insult to injury, a panel of experts assembled by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has concluded that less than half of these hearing im- paired newborns is diagnosed as having hearing problems until the associate problems of compromised speech and language development manifest themselves later on. On the basis of this finding, the NIH recom- mends that all infants be screened to detect any auditory problems within the first three months of life. With- out question, following the NIH's rec- ommendation can go a long way in averting the problems that are likely to arise from early hearing loss. It's important that children are screened early to detect a hearing loss problem.

Phone: (810) 644-1124 Since 1971 Jerusalem (JTA) — Israeli secu- rity forces were placed on high alert this week amid reports that Hamas militants were planning a terror attack to coincide with President Clinton's visit to the Middle East. Some 15,000 Israeli police were slated to be on duty for the signing ceremony of the Israeli- Jordanian peace treaty in the Ar- ava, which Mr. Clinton was scheduled to attend, and for the president's subsequent visit to Jerusalem. American security teams ar- rived in Israel early in the week to set up security arrangements at the signing ceremony with their Israeli and Jordanian coun- terparts. In the wake of last week's ter- ror bombing of a bus in Tel Aviv, the government continued its crackdown this week on mem- bers of Hamas, which claimed re- sponsibility for the bombing and other recent attacks on Israelis. Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin said that Israeli security forces apprehended two Hamas mem- bers who had helped the terror- ist who carried out last week's bombing. The terrorist had stayed at the home of one of them the night before the Oct. 19 at- tack, Mr. Rabin said. The Rabin government mean- while weathered three no-confi- dence votes in the Knesset this week. The no-confidence mea- sures brought by the opposition said the government was "unable to ensure the security" of the Is- raeli people. In the Gaza Strip, Hamas po- litical leader Mahmoud Zahar asked the Palestinian police to protect the Islamic group's ac- tivists, according to Israel Radio. Hamas leaders in the West Bank and Gaza warned of in- creasing violence and tension if Israel carries out what they said were plans to assassinate Hamas leaders. Israeli security sources dis- missed the Hamas claims, but confirmed that Israel had launched a wide-scale crackdown against the organization that has resulted in the arrests of dozens of Hamas members. In Cairo, Israeli and Palestin- ian leaders issued a joint state- ment condemning terror. The statement was issued af- ter a meeting of the Israeli-Pales- tinian Liaison Committee, the steering group overseeing the on- going negotiations, at which the two sides discussed the recent wave of Hamas terror attacks. Despite the Tel Aviv bus bomb- ing, which claimed 23 lives and left more than 40 wounded, Is- raeli and Palestinian negotiators meeting in Cairo continued their talks on the upcoming Palestin- ian elections. In Israel, Foreign Minister Shimon Peres told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that Israel had re- jected Palestinian demands that a president and governing coun- cil of the autonomous regions be elected separately. Mr. Peres also said that Israel had rejected a Palestinian pro- posal that the governing council Israeli and Palestinian leaders issued a joint statement condemning terror. be a 100-member body. The Is- raeli side has instead been say- ing it should consist of 30 members and have legislative and executive powers in lieu of a separately elected president. Mr. Peres also said that Israel had asked Jordan to stop Hamas activities in Amman. In the Jordanian capital this week, some 1,500 people, mostly university students, demon- strated against Jordan's peace treaty with Israel, with leaders of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Muslim Brotherhood all vowing to undermine the accord.
