ISRAEL'S AGRICULTURAL
POTENTIAL IS 100000 SAYS
THREE.YEAR SURVEY

TEL AVN, QIP) = A compre-
hensive land survey of Israel
completed last week reveals that
the country has an agricultural
potential of nearly 100000 acres.
Some 100000 acres of the land
are irrigable, and known water
resources are sufficient ultimately
to irrigate 100000 acres. This
area is able to feed a population
of about 100000.
The survey which is the result
of three years of intensive work
carried out under the direction of
DR.. Nathan Gil, head of the Soil
Conservation Department of the
Ministry of Agriculture, is de-
signed to give the necessary data
for an agricultural policy which
has to take into consideration po-
liticaI and other factors in addi-
ton to a coordinated exploitation
of the country's farm lands.
Agricultural and geological in
formation on every square acre
between the country's northern
border and about IA miles south
of Beersheba has been compiled,
making it possible for anyone to
receive data within a matter of
minutes on the fertility and other
relevant facts of any piece of land
within the survey.
The area surveyed did not in
clude the 4,750,O0O acre Negev
region since agricultural exploita-
ton here depends on large-scale
irrigation projects which are not
expected to be supplemented
within the next several years.
Only small part of IsraePs
wheat can be grown locally how
ever. And although meat produc-
ton can be stepped up to 10000
tons annually, through the ex-
ploitation of 100000 acres suitable
for pasture, this would not be
enough to meet the normal needs
of unrestricted consumption.

Hudossoh Convention To
Be Held Oct. Is 70
BY Mrs. Monroe Klausner


The Jacksonville chapter of
Hadassah will be represented at
the seth annual convention, which
will be held in Washington, D. C..
from October Is through October
%, 1858, by four delegates. Head
ed by Mrs. David Armel, presi-
dent of the local chapter, the
group includes Mrs. Abe Newman,
Mrs. Abe Horovitz, and Mrs. Her
man Klausner, president of the
Florida region.
Among the major issues facing
the delegates are the adoption of
a 100000 budget to finance
Hadassah's comprehensive inedi-
cal and social welfare, youth res
cue and rehabilitation, land re-
demption and vocational educa-
ton program in Israel, and the
completion of new $10,000,000
Medical Center in Jerusalem,
which is expected to be the finest
institution of it's kind in the Mid
die East.
The convention will hear first
hand reports of the latest eco
nomic, political and military de-
Velopments in Israel, and will
seek to clarity the relationship
between the American Jew and
the State of Israel.
Special emphasis will be given
this year, too, to the American
phase of the Hadassah program,
with several workshop sessions
scheduled to be devoted exclu-
sively to discussions designed to
strengthen the American pro-
gram. On the American scene,
Hadassah seeks to preserve Jew
ish traditions and culture, stimu-
late Jewish education, and to
keep it's membership alert to ma
tional and international develop
ments affecting the course of
democracy and peace.
Among the convention high
lights will be the premiere of a
new all-Israel Fashion Show COM
posed of dresses and gowns Gre
ated in the fashion institutes
maintained by Hadassah in Israel
for young women, and the pre-
Sentation of a full-hour drama
illustrating various aspects of the
Hadassah program.

religious faction, who seemed to
go out of his way to praise the
representative of the extreme left.
But Rabbi Nurock has always
been very liberal person. Once,
speaking at a campaign rally for
an Orthodox Yeshivah, he re-
marked that theological luminar-
les were worthy of the support Of
all, since they produce not only
the men of great faith, but also
the greatest infidels.
Another thing that surprised
me about these Knesset members
is the excellence of their English.
After hearing them. it occurred to
me that it might be a good idea
to send some of our American
Jews to Israel. They might learn
to speak English better. The
Knesset members. however. are
not so good in Yiddish. Zev Shep-
her. the chairman Of the delega-
ton. speaking at an earlier meet
ing in Yiddish. had to pause a
few times to find the right word
and occasionally he could only
find the right word in an English
substitute.
What news did the delegation
bring? They didn't bring news so
much as atmosphere. That is very
important. Annual reports, bud
get statements never supply at
mosphere.
For instance. Ariav told the
story of his Witnessing the recent
military maneuvers of Israel.
Along with him was the Minister
Of the Treasury. It's great army
the Israelis have. Adlai Stevenson
has said that after Turkey. the
Israel army is the best in. the
Middle East.

1 was at reception the other
night for the members of the Is
raei Parliament. There are EIGHT
OF them here. come to attend the
sessions of the Inter-Parliamen.
tarY Conference in Washinqton
and also to help sell Israel bonds.
Eight members are a good-sized
chunk of the Israeli Parliament.
DR.. Israel Goldstein, who pre-
sided at the reception, remarked
that he had frequently seen the
Y. S. Senate conducting business
with less than that many men,
bers seemingly on hand. You
might almost say the Knesset is
holding sessions in America. I got
to wondering. Suppose Ben-Gur-
ion should have to have a law
passed in a hurry. He would be
out of luck. What do you do, if
you awake in the middle of the
night and need a new law!
The eight represent all parties
in Israel. ! was rather struck bv
the appearance Of the member
representing the Mapam. You
expect the representatives of the
extreme left to have a kind of
proletarian look. Well. Yitzak ben
Aharon certainly does not meet
that expectation. He looks more
like a business executive. Very
meat and trim and very well
nourished.
In fact, all the members seem
rather well nourished. They lead
one to question some of the aus
terity tales that we, have heard
about Israel. One of the members
of the Knesset, Hahn Ariav, in
fact, made the point himself in
answer to a question about the
hard times in Israel. Look at u.s."
he said, "all of us look pretty well
fed, don't WEI" He went on to
challenge the grim stories circu-
lated about Israel. Israel, he in
sisted, isn't doing badly at all.
If the rest of the Israelis are as
well nourished as their represent
aives. it is hardly likely that
Mapam can hope for any great
success. even though they have
such able men as Ben Aharon
among them. For Ben Aharon. it
must be conceded. is a very elo-
quent speaker.
It should be said, however, that
on their present visit, party af-
filiations are forgotten. The men,
berS seem to be very courteous
towards one another, irrespective
of party. And it was Rabbi Nu-
rock, representative of the most

Tales
BY BEN FEINGOLD
Braves to Abe

Paul Zousmer, of Grossinger's
commenting on our recent Jen-
ME Grossinger tale about Abra-
ham Lincoln, passes along an
other classic about this truly
great man.
Shortly after the Civil War
started, a Jewish Congressman
from an Eastern state, named
Morris Fucker, was rudely tor
mented by the anti-Semites of
the day with the derisive name
of "Moishe."
Wherever he went, he heard
this name uttered as a savage
expression of anti-Semitic dis
dain.
Word of this reached Lincoln.
He called Fucker in and said, "I
hear the bigots are annoying you
by calling you Moishe.' Don't
let it bother you. I don't when
they call me names. AS matter
of fact, for years they've been
calling me 'Abie!'"

fancy, you couldn't even take drink
when there was a fire in town, for
patrons had to Immediately discon-

whatsoever, when the fire alarm
sounded.
This rule was one of many unus-

water works record by Supt. James
Draper, and given to The News this
week as an indication of just how
serious low water pressure could be
back in those days.

early days of the plant started here
in the "nineties".
Lawn, garden or yard sprinkling
was restricted by the board between
the hours of $50 and 9 o'clock in the
morning, and four to eight o'clock
in the evening. No one could sprink-

in advance for such privilege.
No hose could be used without a
nozzle, and nozzles could not be of
greater than one-fourth inch orihce,
the old regulations provide.

permitted others, not members of his
household, to use water from his pipe

twenty dollars. Contractors, masons,
