ISRAEL FISHING SEASON
ENDS SUCCESSFULLY

TEL AVN, (JTA) - Israels
fishing season-both fresh and
salt water-has just ended and
the results have been pronounced
a success. Moshe Shawl, director
of the Division of Fisheries of the
Ministry of Agriculture, told
newsmen at a luncheon at the
Anna Jaffa WHO Vocational
School for Girls here, that the
outlook for the future was also
quite favorable.
He added that this year, for the
first time, Israeli fishermen had
begun to bring in enough fish to
begin exporting their produce to
Cyprus, where prices were higher
than on the home markets. He
also reported the development OF
the canning industry, with six
factories now engaged in canning
sardines and additional plants ex-
pected to go into operation in the
near future.

HOLLYWOOD, April 7
(NANA) Even among the
most art-minded of the little
theater groups, it's always
conceded that movie makers
are in the business for just
one thing-a lot of money.
But now, in the face of all
this, here comes a brand new
invader of the highly COM
petitive production market
and a woman, at that-with
an entirely different idea.
She is Anne Baxter, one of
Hollywood'S most acclaimed
dramatic players, a girl with
box Office credits as long
as your arm. She recently
financed and filmed a picture
of her own-just to give the
woman's side of the story
what she terms a decent
break for a change"
Il turned producer for
purely selfish reasons" Anne
declared. II have long felt
there have been too few films
pointing up the woman's side.
Men invariably get the best
parts, the best acting breaks.
A woman stars career is
necessarily built on powerful
feminine plotS-and that's
what my company proposes to
see that she gets. And 1 don't
intend to lose any money
doing So"

AREA RECEIVED MORE CANCER FUNDS THAN COLLECTED IN 1855

Palmer area residents will be asked to donate more generous ly than ever to the campaign for the Cancer Society, according to Mrs. Stewart Durrant, campaign chairman. The fund drive was under way this week, with per- sonaI appeals being mailed to To- cal individuals, and colleltion cans placed in businesses estab- lishments throughout the valley area.
 Although the response to last years campaign was splendid", ], Mrs. Durrant said, far more money was returned to this com munity by the Cancer Society, in the form of aid to cancer victims in the Palmer area. More than twice as much money came to the valley area from the Society as was raised locally last year
 According to Mrs. Durrant, the Valley had more than their quota of cancer victims since July, 1855, and several of these received help in the form of pay ment for transportation to treat ment centers in the States, as well as funds to help pay for treatments.
 We are happy to say that in those cases which received treat ment in time, we were able to give aid to restore the patient to health and normal life,' she ad- ded. "One of our most important tasks is to encourage everyone to seek medical aid at once, if he suspects he might have can- cer. Early treatment is the first step toward the cure of cancer. One out of three cancers are cur ed now-another third could be cured if they went to their doc tor in time"
 Mrs. Durrant also requested that those residents who do not receive a personal letter, giving them the opportunity to donate to the American Cancer Society, send their donation anyway. Our mailing list is far from complete, and we know we are missing many who would like to donate" she explained. tThe ad- dress is simply, ".Cancer-Pal- mer, Alaska"
