HAMILTON -
A Jewish home for the aged in Hamilton maybe-come a reality soon.
Following the first meeting of an ad hoc committee studying the need for a home, chairman Ludwig Benario is optimistic. "In. principle, there is agreement. This time we will definitely build:"
The question has cropped up periodically for at least 15 years and proposals turned down with unfailing regularlity, but a survey of Jewish doctors undertaken at the end of 1973, shows conclusively the need for a home exists.
The problem now is no longer whether to build, but how, what and where.
Varon will ^eak at dinner
TORONTO-
Ambassador Benjamin Varon, a member of Israel's diplomatic corps,; will be here Oct. 17 to address a tribute dinner honoring Mrs. Max (Lena): Sharp taking place under the sponsorship of Pioneer Women of Toronto. The dinner will be held at the Beth To rah Synagogue, and will be the occasion. for the presentation to Mrs. Sharp by State of Israel Bonds of the "City of Peace" Award.
Ambassador Varon is an expert on Latin American' relations with Israel, and is credited with being one of the architects in gaining the support of the decisive La-.tin American vote --some 40%.of the total UN General Assembly vote, which l.iid the legal basis for Israel's.statehood.
He has served as Israel's ambassador to Paraguay, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica.
SAFETY IN THE HOME IS IMPOR TANT!
Commissioner John H. Pollard of the Department of Emergency Services of Metropohtan Toronto says that safety in the home is important. Over 40°/o of all ambulance calls are made to citizens' homes. An awareness of hazards in the home will help in preventing injuries and suffering to you and members of your family.
John H.PoUard, Commissioner
The natural curiosity of children can lead them to handle items that xould be: harmful. Keep home cleaning materials, medicine, weed killers and other chemicals out of reach of your children and away from food.
Learn the right way to lift and carry heavy or bulky objects. Make sure that there are np loose rugs or other objects on your floors, corridors and stairs. Falls are the'greatest home hazard.
Keep your ladders, power tools and sharp instruments in good working condition and store them when not in use.
A knowledge of first aid is most helpfu( if accidents happen. For infor-mati6n on.first aid courses and copies of home safety literature call our Department's Emergency Planning Group at 486-1900,
For all severe injuries, call 489-2111 for an ambulance. Safety in the home is important!
"The community, in my opinion, IS ready and willing to support such: a, home," Benano said.
At present, there are 35 elderly Jews scattered throughout various homes..with five in Lincoln Place and seven at: Baycrest, "and there may be others we don't know about," Sheila Burman,
administrator of Jewish Social Services; said.
The most obvious suggestion at the moment IS for an addition to be built to the Jewish Community Centre on Delaware Avenue, where land is available, and fully serviced. Mrs.. Burman explained this would not only con-siderablv reduce the cost.
but would make the home eligible for support from the province. Combining JSS'staff with home staff . would also bring considerable savings. Residents would benefit not only from contact with Jews of other age groups and their activities but.being in a busy urban area, would feel less isolated .
Details of the. initial •fund-raising have yet to be worked out: Murray Rothberg, Brant ford builder of nursing homes, said "costs go up every day." As for operating costs, however, studies
madeof other homes, particularly one in. Ottawa which;serves a community of comparable size, indicate that the operation of such a home in Hamilton IS entirely feasible. The present proposal is
.for an approximately 50-bed :home and surround-.ing communities within
the Niagara Peninsula have indicated their interest. : ■ . .

By JANICE ARNOLD MONTREAL-
A number of Jewish, children will grow up having never known their heritage, religion, or culture as Jews.
Loss of Jewish identity IS. the fate of the unfortunate child whose own home; breaks down and who then must be placed, in a non-Jewish home or institution when no Jewish homes are available.
The Jewish Child Welfare Bureau: of Jewish Family Services in Montreal has scheduled a conference for Sunday, Oct. 27 to bring to the public's attention the serious shortage of Jewish foster
homes.it is now facing.
Shrinking lists of available foster homes are not peculiar to the Montreal, area but a phenomenon across North America.
The disappearance of large homes with even larger families and the desire of many women to seek outside employment has contributed to the decreasing supply of foster homes in the latter part of this century.
JFS believes a reserve bank of emergencv Jewish foster homes is "essential". The waiting homes would allow for the placement of not only new children but those abandoned by their present foster
parents. A choice of homes is also needed-to meet the varying requirements of each child.
Sensitivity and warmth with a genuine love and understanding of children are the basic qualifications of a good foster parent. Age is not an important factor. .
A couple may take upto two children per year into their home. Foster children can be discharged before the year is over. A sufficient amount is paid each month to the foster parents to cover the cost of maintaining the child.
