Rumonio Opens
Yiddish Schools

BUCHAREST, (JTA) - Two
of four Rumanian state schools
in which the entire curriculum
will be taught in Yiddish have
been opened in Bucharest and
Timisoara. The other two will
soon be established in Jassy and
Satu Mare, it was announced
here.
Speaking at the dedication
ceremony in Bucharest, I. Bacal,
leader of the Federation of Jew
ish Communities, stressed that
the opening of the schools proved
that for the first time in Ruman-
las history the Jews were be-
ing given equal rights. He also
said that the schools will teach
their pupils patriotism and twill
wipe out the bourgeois mentality
of Zionism which unfortunately
is widespread among the Jewish
youth"

lower foothills for garden SUI

that the productive capacity Of
workers in jerusalem is IS per.
