In addition to the Federation
regular campaign, over $110,000
has been realized for the special
campaign for resettlement of
Ethiopian Jews Operation
Moses.
Federation officials have noted
that the total of $1,160,000 is an
outstanding achievement for
Tampa. Yet, there are still
hundreds of families living in the
Tampa community who have not
participated in the annual
campaign. While each year the
number of contributors has
increased and the level of giving
has increased, there are still too
many who have not shared their
portion of this community
responsibility. "There is still an
opportunity for members of our
Tampa Jewish Community to
make their pledge," Cohn
concluded.
The Tampa Jewish Federation
Women's Division with a goal of
$250,000 has exceeded its goal
reporting over $270,000 to date.
Campaign chairman of the
Women's Division is Alice
Rosenthal and Lili Kaufmann
serves as its president.
Opportunity for women in the
Tampa community to participate
in the 1985 campaign is still
open, Rosenthal reported. Just
call the Tampa Jewish
Federation office at 875-1618 to
make your commitment.

Helping Children Deal With Stress
Is your child under constant
pressure to succeed in school,
competing for grades and social
acceptance? Do we expect too
much of our children? What can
happen if our children are
pressured to grow up in-
tellectually and socially too
soon?
These are some of the crucial
issues that will be raised and
addressed at an open lecture
scheduled for Thursday, May 16
at 7:30 p.m., entitled, "Children
Under Pressure in the Caring
Family."
This year's lecture is being
supported financially by the
Jonathan Anton Memorial
Scholarship Fund at Hillel and
by the following individuals: Mr.
Barney Anton, Dr. and Mrs.
Robert Goldstein, Dr. and Mrs.
Harry Kolodner, and Mr. and
Mrs. Michael Levine. The lecture
is open to the public at no
charge. It will begin at 7:30 p.m.
on Thursday, May 16, at the
Hillel School of Tampa (501 S.
Habana).
The lecture is being co-
sponsored by the Hillel School of
Tampa and Tampa Jewish
Family Service; the Jewish
community is invited to attend.
The lecture is the first of what is
conceived as an annual joint
venture by these two Tampa
agencies.
The guest speakers, from
Cincinnati, are Dr. Kathryn
Boniface, clinical psychologist,
and Dr. William Boniface,
psychiatrist. Both have ex-
tensive experience with children
and adolescents. The Bonifaces
will address the subject of how
children deal with stress and
how the family can provide a
supportive and understanding
environment.

WASHINGTON (JTA) -
A Washington Post-ABC News
poll, conducted and published in
the Washington Post, reveals
that by slim majority.
Americans disapprove of
President Reagan's planned visit
to the Bitburg military cemetery
and want him to cancel the visit.
The survey, the first con-
ducted in response to the con-
troversy over the Bitburg visit,
found that 51 percent of those
interviewed said they disap-
proved of Reagan's planned
visit, while 39 percent said they
approved of the visit.
A further breakdown indicated
that 57 percent of the
Republicans interviewed ex-
pressed approval of the cemetery
visit while 63 percent of the
Democrats interviewed said they
disapproved.
Furthermore, 51 percent of
those polled said Reagan would
not be dishonoring Holocaust
victims by laying a wreath at a
cemtery where more than 40
Waff en SS soldiers are buried.
Meanwhile. 51 percent said the
wreath laying would not sym-
bolize a dishonoring of American
soldiers who fought against the
rmans in World War 11.
The poll, the Post reported,
found people 'extremely
divided" over Reagan's planned
visit to the Bergen-Belsen
concentration camp that was
added to his itinerary after the
furor over the trip to the Bitburg
cemetery.
