1t Was the Year of the SkyIift And
DeIiverance for Thousands of Jews
By Moses A. Leavitt
Executive Vice-President, Joint
Distribution Committee
1QEn IaNuish TaIanranL.

Copyright, 1850, Jewish TeIegraphic
Agency, Inc.)
ONE YEAR ago, on Rosh Hash
anah $40, an unusual event took
place in the windswept desert air
port outside Alden City, on the
Gulf of Alden.
Here, at a time when the great
majority of Jews the world over
were gathered at prayer in syna-
gogues, nearly 500 Jews clamb-
cred aboard waiting giant Sky
master planes. The Jews were
Yemenites - and they were trav-
cling on the High Holiday to Is
rael, 1000 airmiles to the north
west, via the Joint Distribution
Committees "Operation M a g c
Carpet"
1t was a matter of life and
death that these, and nearly 1O,-
900 other Yemenite Jews then
waiting in nearby Hashid camp,
be moved. Accordingly the Chief
Rabbi of Israel had given a spec
ial dispensation for these extrem-
ely orthodox Jews to journey on
holidays and the Sabbath also.
Thus the dawn Of the year 571O
found JDC engaged in one of the
most spectacular operations of it's
history.
AND NOW the year 5711 also
begins with JDC engaged in still
another impressive airlift = one
that promises for size to outdo
even the air exodus of the Jews
of Yemen. Under arrangements
which were concluded by the JDC,
the same planes which carried the
Jews from Yemen are evacuating
Jews from Iraq members of
another community whose begin
nings go back to biblical times.
AS this is being written - in
mid-July = the airlift from Iraq
is settling down after a difficult
start to a smoothly running opera
ton. In all, there have been some
43 flights from Baghdad and
other cities since late May, bear
ing 1900 passengers.
The airlift from Alden, which
reached its peak during the High
Holidays last September, brought
more than $4,000 Jews to Israel.
If all goes well, the air exodus
from Iraq will bring $4,000 or
more Jews to the new state. Those
who are to be brought out must
be helped to go before March 1,
1851, for by decree Of the Iraqi
Parliament, Jews will not be able
to leave the country after that
date.
In the final scene, both airlifts
were made possible by the Jews
of the United States, who supply
the JDC with it's principal funds
through their contributions to the
United Jewish Appeal.
IMAGINE THE feeling of those
Yemenite Jews who arrived in the
Promised Land on Rosh Hashanah
itself, by a machine which bore
them through the air over desert,
mountain and sea. To these
people, members of a group cut
off from the main body of Jewry
for 1000 years, their long prayed
for return to the Holy Land must
have seemed a miracle of deliv-
erance..

phosphate and potash cannot
function without nitrogen.
When the legume-grass crop pro-
vides earlier spring grazing, you
need fewer days Of barn feeding.
This means saving in the feed bill.
Spreading fertilizer in the fall
spreads the work too. Farmers have
more time for such work in fall than
Ia spring, and the turf is more solid.
Plant food added in fall has a
chance to get down where the roots
are, through freezing and thawing
periods during winter. Nutrients are
then available for the legume roots
when spring growth starts.
You don't have to work the fer
tilizer into the soil. Grass roots close
to the surface take up the soluble
plant food.
Farmers planning fall pasture i'm.
provement work can get advice from
their county agents or state agrono.
mists on the kind and amount OF
fertilizer to use. Tests show that
applications Of 300 to 600 pounds per
acre produce profitable results.
