She is still living in Russia, ill after six refusals by Soviet authorities to allow her to leave the country.
ARTISTS RECEIVE HELPING HAND
Struggling artists faced with the problem of finding space to exhibit, will receive a helping hand from a new gallery on ScoUard St. It is called Starting Artists Gallery and is the brainchild of artists Joseph Mimran and Lorie Tabachnick, along with Robert Goodman. They hope to promote and encourage unknown Canadian talent that has no place to exhibit, and its commission on sales is 30 per cent, as against the 40" or more per cent of large galleries. The new gallery handles the work of some 60 artists and is open to receive more.

Do you know how Jewish boys came to be named Irving? According to author Ande Manners, they were named after Washington Irving the famous early 19th century writer known as the first man of American letters - he wrote the Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Rip Van Wnkle. Mrs. Manners states in her ^latest book Poor Cousins, (it's about the waves of immigration of Russian Jews to America at the turn of the century), "AH those immigrant parents v4io wished to call a son after deceased relatives named Isaac, Isidore or Israel, but wanted a name less Jewish-sounding, chose Irving because rationalization required that the name Selected at least begin with the same letter as thai of the departed ancestor. Washington Irving, moreover, was a distinguished literary figure, and his surname had a fine dignified ring to it." Would you have believed it?

of the Zionist Organization of Canada. Incidentally, he tells us that at an international cable television conference in Switzerland recently "Shalom was singled out as being a good example of what cable television programming should be!"

Foster bomes for eldei^^^ to msOce Uiem feel

CJN Quebec Bureau Chief
MONTREAL-
Sam Black, 70, grinned widely and winked whert someone said he was a foster child.
In May, Sam was "adopted" by Pearl and Larry Lip-son, two middle aged friends vrtio are part of a unique Golden Age Association program to find foster homes for the elderly.
Some mornings, Mrs. Lip-son and her 22 year old daughter Barbara leave home early, so her husband, a salesman, prepares breakfast for both himself and Black. .
"But he's a very good cook," said Black, "and I always eat in moderation anyways - its healthy."
The program was initiated last February, with a local initiatives grant to hire case ' aids to search out and place the elderly in family situations.
According to Gloria Mil-off, a case aid worker, the program is designed to keep the elderly in the community and independent of institutional aid.
"On one hand, the older person can participate inthe family, and on the other the family will remind them to take their medication, for example," she said.
The elderly who are placed do not consider themselves "freeloaders" in any way, explained Mrs. Miloff "since they pay their way through their old age pension and a subsidy from the Golden Age Association when necessary."
For Pearl and Larry Lip-son, helping young and old people by providing their home as a substitute family, is a way of life. *r "It's very important^*;; p. sai^ Mrs. Lipson to give a* hdnier^ a person when they need it."
The Lipsons once helped one disturbed girl to lead a normal life - and she eventually, went on to marry and have a family of her own.
Lipson attributes the success of the program at his home, to his wife, whom he says "is a good natured person and always loved children and people."
"When I come home inthe evening," said Mrs. Lipson, "Mr. Black tells me what's been happening in the news ... and keeps me posted on
the chatter he hears."
Many of the elderly placed in homes may have relatives in the city who are unable to care Tor them because of ill-health, working mothers, or small children.
Black, who-worked as a presser most of his life, has married children in New York and he visits them for three or four months a year.
Mrs. Miloff said widows will approach the Associa-
tion to provide their home for a Golden Ager in order to have company. Sometimes the placement agency has requests from adults with young children for "a grandparent."
The Lipsons' modest home is in short bus distance from the Golden Age Association, and Sam will spend most of his day there while the Lipsons are at work.
A policy of the placement
Service is that k home be within the general area of the Golden Age Association's headquarters on Cote St, Catherine Road, where the senior citizens congregate
each day.
According to Mrs. Miloff, of every 20 homes found, perhaps only one couple will be found suitable to enter into the program.
