It deals with problems that a treat many people seem to bring to counseling agencies to discuss and work out. The professional staff members of the JFCS are social workers with graduate degrees and extensive experience in helping people solve these problems. come the butt of collective attack in the Security Council and South Africa and Portugal in the last General Assembly.

This was nothing but emotional rabble-rousing and the General Assembly provided fresh evidence of unwillingness and inability to look international political reality in the face. The convenient excuse that UN sessions are a forum and meeting-place conceals only an incomprehensible resignation to being unable to carry out the Charter's peace mission. "Freedom" Omitted To mark its twenty-fifth anniversary the United Nations is to issue special stamps and medals with the motto "Peace and Progress." The General Assembly added "Justice" but omitted "Freedom." One can hardly regret the fact. With trends at the UN as they are at the moment many countries would take the demand for freedom to be a license for further liberation wars in the Vietnam or El Fatah manner. Peter Meyer Ranke in Die Welt UN that Eastern Bloc (including Soviet Bielorussian and Ukrainian) and extremist Afro-Asian efforts to convert the world peace organization into a fighting force against Western positions and white African countries have made considerable nrogress.

Their terse dictum is that the majority is right and this is an argument that impresses Western public opinion. By majority decision Israel's occupation regime and defense against Arab terror acts have been censured on several occasions but not a mention has been made of the Soviet occupation regime in Prague. With Thant's assistance the UN decided to declare not Soviet arms deliveries to the Arab world but the Smith regime in Rhodesia a threat to the world peace and regretted that Britain was not using force against Rhodesia. The catalog of one-sided resolutions be continued ad infinitum now that Israel has be 11 mi i 1 1 I'M. 1 The 12-year-old who takes home his pal's new baseball glove is a different problem than the two-year-old who does not understand property rights.

The older boy should know that what he is doing is wrong, and the chances are that he does. It's up to the parents to discover why he took his glove. Is this an isolated instance, or part of a habitual pattern? If this is the first time that the boy has taken something that did not belong to him, was he doing it to get attention? Or is he worried about something, for instance trouble between his parents? If this act is part of a pattern, something is definitely wrong, and it's up to the parents to discover what is behind this clearly unacceptable behavior. If the parents find that they cannot get at the root of the problem, they may want to consult an expert, for instance a family counselor. If the problem is deep-seated and long standing, a child psychiatrist may be helpful.

In any case, if a youngster does something that is clearly contrary to lus usual standards of behavior, the parents will want to discover what is causing the change. It is a good idea to deal with a problem as soon as it arises. Once the youngster has gained a reputation as the neighborhood terror, he may feel that he has to live up to his image, and then it is much harder to help him change his ways. Formerly at 322 W.

A family tradition for over 30 years. Blackberry Rom' Concord Cherry Cream Sauteme Mogen David Five Kosher Sweet TableWines MOGEN DAVID WINE CORPORATION Chicago, WwtfWd, N. Y. THE TRIBUTE OF PERFECTION at a time smallest are PI Moges I Ikvm Recently a psychologist developed a system of exploring the moral values of children by telling them stories and asking them questions. First there was Harold.

He was called to dinner. Unknown to him, behind the door of the dining room is a chair, holding 15 cups. As he enters the room, he knocks over the trays and all the cups are broken. Then there is Billy. He tries to steal some cookies out of a tall cupboard, and in the process knocks over one cup, which breaks.

"Which child was the researcher asks. Most of the small children (up to about five or six) said that Harold was naughtier. He had broken so many cups. But older children said that Billy was naughtier, because he had intended to do something wrong. Harold was just unlucky.

The older and more mature children were able to judge an event based on the intent of the culprit, rather than the results. How do children develop this kind of judgment about their own actions and those of others? Does it just develop naturally, as they grow older, or does it require some kind of stimulation on the part of parents and other influential adults? Family counselors feel that children consciously and unconsciously learn moral values from their parents and other adults close to them. Babies are not born knowing what they should or shouldn't do. A two-year-old might well carry home an attractive toy from the home of a little friend, without knowing that he'd done anything unacceptable. It's up to the parent to explain, in terms that the youngster can understand, the property rights of others.

Obviously the two-year-old was not stealing. It takes time for a child to learn how to behave in our society. Fundamentally, the way he can tell acceptable behavior from unacceptable behavior is by his parents' reaction. And since he wants their love and approval, he will usually follow their wishes.

FUNERAL DIRECTORS HAMPTON TWO LOCATIONS BURLEIGH MRS. ROSE SHECHTMAN Sunday, Feb. 15, at 6 p.m. at the Beth Am Center. A home-cooked Kosher meal will be served.

Mrs. Louis Setlick, Region Honor Roll chairman, will be guest speaker. Cards, mah jongg and surprise gifts will round out the evening. A share of Wisconsin Power stock will be awarded. Admission is $2.25 per person, with proceeds going toward the ORT School Building program.

In explaining the needs of the schools in France and Italy, Mrs. Rose Shechtman, Chapter president, said that while the prestige of Jews in the free world has been affected favorably by the Six Day War, the situation of Jews in the Arab countries has been affected adversely. Emigration from these hostile lands into France and Italy has increased heavily refugees have arrived in France and 10,000 in Italy since July 1, 1967. Newcomers must be equipped and trained, to enable them to take their places in their adopted countries, and at the same time preserve their Jewish identity. Mrs.

Abe Teplinsky, special project chairman, has arranged the party, with assistance from Mrs. Morris Rubin, membership chairman; Mrs. Joseph Kaplan, hospitality chairman; and the entire board. For reservations, call Mmes. Teplinsky, 445-0426; Kaplan, 444-6627; or Rubin, 461-2290.

Ford Foundation Grants Brandeis $1 Million for Development Purpose WALTHAM, Mass. (JTA) The Ford Foundation has granted $1 million for development purposes to Brandeis University, the only Jewish-sponsored non-sectarian university in the United States. The grant was announced by Brandeis president, Morris B. Abram. Nathan Perlmutter, vice-president for development at Brandeis, described it as "seed money" for staff expansion that will help Brandeis establish more effective patterns for raising funds among alumni and the American Jewish community at large.

He said that "while Brandeis University has rapidly and firmly taken its place among the premier collgees and universities of America, the hard fund-raising reality is that we have only 6,000 alumni, half of whom are not yet thirty years old. So it is that the Ford Foundation grant enabling us to reach our 'foster alumni' the American Jewish community is a creative and timely assist" The University noted that its support potential in the Jewish community had been barely tapped. Out of a total American-Jewish population of nearly six million, only 45,000 persons have ever contributed to it and of that number, only 25,000 have given $100 or more, the University disclosed. Of the more populous states, only in Massachusetts have more than two percent of the Jewish population made donations to Brandeis. Arab Terrorist Leaders Studying Hebrew TEL AVIV (JTA) Arab terrorist group leaders are studying Hebrew from a textbook prepared in Amman in order to pose as Israeli soldiers, a Nablus military court disclosed.

The disclosure was made during hearings in the case of Ahmed Wahid Katalni who is accused of membership in Al Saaiqa, a Syrian-sponsored guerrilla group. According to the testimony Katalani knew Hebrew and used that language to pose as an Israeli soldier and collect food for his men who were hiding in the hills. This year will see the twenty-fifth anniversary of the foundation of the United Nations. It will not be an occasion for pleasure unalloyed. The course and meagre outcome of the twenty-fourth UN General Assembly just ended in New York show that the 128-member world organization with its annual budget of a bare 170 million dollars remains incapable of being the the great and dominating instrument of peace in international politics of which its idealistic founding fathers dreamed.

Unease, impotence and confusion reign in the United Nations building. The atmosphere-at the UN did, indeed, change in the sixties. The frequently successful and devoted work of many UN organizations is paling in significance beside propaganda displays in New York. The mass influx of emerging African nations and the indoctrination of the Afro-Asian Bloc with talk of combating colonialism, imperialism and racism and the opportunistic inclination towards would be impressive majorities have degraded the annual General Assembly and committee meetings to the status of arenas for propaganda speeches, ideological accusations and unrealistic resolutions. Delegates talk and act as representatives of their governments but many of them have no time for the Western, democratic basic principle of the UN that international political problems be settled by means of fair discussion, mutual conviction and pragmatic decision.

To the applause of communist delegates extremist Arabs, Africans and Asians take the UN to be the right place for propaganda resolutions that satisfy their own camp only and otherwise create confusion. The apparent strength of numbers leaves the UN politically powerless. Unlike Dag Hammerskjold, who died in 1961, his successor Thant, a man said by an American journalist to have the dynamics of a noodle, has proved unable to control developments. Thant's Fatal Mistake Secretary General Thant made his fatal mistake in May 1967 when he submitted to Egyptian pressure and ordered the withdrawal of the UN peace force from the Middle East. He pointed out the danger to peace at the time hut the rrice he Daid to Cairo cannot be credited to the UN's debit account.

In evacuating the buffer zone between Egypt and Israel Thant was also abandoning Hammarsk-jold to act, as shown in the Middle East in 1956 and in the Congo, and place the UN between the two sides, keeping them apart as far as possible and obviating the need for great power intervention. Thant has paid for the abandonment of this role by paralyzing his own position in world affairs in accordance with Russia's inten-t i (remember Krushhchev's troika proposal of 1960). Well-meaning but impotent, Thant has since played only minor parts. The Secretary-General's Middle Eastern tactics have made it clear that the UN need not be expected to prove an effective guarantor of demilitarized zones or internationalization of any kind even though both regularly recur in peace proposals for the Middle East. UN Force on Cyprus The sole remaining United Nations force is on Cyprus.

In the Middle East El Fatah terrorists have already drawn their conclusions from the UN's weakness. Recruiting reinforcements in UN-paid refugee camps they have declared that they would in future regard every UN soldier as an enemy and act accordingly. Yet this statement of intent does not prevent many UN members from hailing the same terrorists as freedom fighters.
