Toronto Schools
Now Give Option

TORONTO (JTA) - Parents of
Jewish children attending two
Toronto schools will hereafter
have the option of obtaining eX-
emption of attendance by their
children at classes in religious in
structions. Under Ontario provin-
cial law, such classes must be
provided in schools all of which,
in Canada, are operated under
Christian denominational auspices.
The compromise plan was ar
ranged for the Cedar Grove and
North Wilmington schools in Tor
onto. 1t provides that parents will
be asked, during registration per-
iods, to state their preference re-
garding participation by their
children in religious classes which
have been shifted to a half hour
between $3.50 and pm. weekly.
The compromise formula was
agreed on after numerous meet
ings attended by Mrs. Dorothy
Bishop, the Board of Education
trustee for Ward Five of Toronto,
and representatives of the Canadi-
an Jewish Congress and local rab-
bis. In announcing the new plan,
Mrs. Bishop said that evolution,
not revolution, is the aim. We
want to avert bad feelings"

to help young settlements both
materially and spirituality" he
asked. Minister of Labor Giora
Josephthal proposed the urban col

with the establishment every year
of an urban center like Dimona in
the Northern Negev.
The committee voted to adopt
the project suggested by Finance
Minister Levi Eshkol to develop
the 10000 acre Besor region, west
of Beersheba, with the establish
ment of an autonomous youth

posed this plan in favor of aiding

JERUSALEM. (JTA) = Israel
apparently had scored an import
ant diplomatic victory over the
Arab States this week with the
announcement that it would be rep
resented in the newly-independent
Republic of Cyprus by an ambass-
ador, rather than consul-general.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry an
nouncement followed a special dip
lomatic mission to Nicosia by Ar
thur Liveran, head of its Division
of British Commonwealth Affairs.
It stated that Zev Levin, who has
been Israel Consul General in Nj
COSTA, would present letters OF
credence as Ambassador to Cy-
prus to President Makarios within
the next few days.
The announcement indicated at
least partial failure of the United
Arab Republics frantic efforts,
pressed in recent weeks, to under
mine the long-standing and eX-
cellent relations that have existed
between Israel and the Cypriote
people. 49,
During the period of illegal
immigration to Palestine, between
the end of World War II and eStab-
1iShrnent of Israel as state in
1913, Cypriotes were most coopera-
tive with many Jewish leaders and
organizations, assisting the immi-
grants to Palestine who had been
detained at Cyprus by the British.
Since 1948, Israel, as the closest
non-Moslem neighbor of Cyprus,
has established firm economic re-
lations with the people on the is

PIONEERING DAYS GONE
SAYS DAVID BEN-GURION

TEL AVN (JTA)-The days OF
personal pioneering" have gone
and will not return in Israel,
Prime Minister David-Ben Gurion
said here. He added that there is
no need to regret this develop
ment.
Mr.. Ben-Gurion expressed this
opinion at a session of the central
committee of the Mapai party dur
ing discussion on how to bring
the youth of Israel back to the
idealistic spirit of the halutzim
The Prime Minister asserted that
the youth can be directed to pi-
oneering tasks through the state.
In this he was contradicted by
MoShe Sharett, former Foreign
Minister, who urged Israelis to
fall back on the Halutzim move
ment and its idealiSm.
"Companied with the immigrants
in pre-War years who had vision
and energy, we now have a young
generation which is the nucleus of
a more intellectual and a more
idealistic people with better abil-
ity, like the commanders of Is
raeps armed forces and the set
tiers of Elm Geddi and Yotvata in
the Negev," Mr.. Ben-Gurion stat
ed.
There can be no common de-
nominator among the quarter of a
million young people here" he
asserted, adding that the youth
born on Israeli soil is not strange
to labor idealism and is not in
need of Shivat Zion (Return to
Zion revolutionary thoughts. In
Mr.. Ben-Gurion's opinion, Israels
youth should be imbued with State
responsibility. This would release
the huge creative forces that
would give Israel an honorable in
ternational position, Mr.. Ben-Gur-
ion stressed.
The Premier described the de-
velopment of the Negev as the
primary task of the youth and eX-
pressed confidence that science
would help overcome the problem
of the lack of water in IsraePS

Insurance Plan

BALTIMORE, July 8 (AP)-
Maryland legislators have as
sailed a plan to authorize low
er liability insurance rates to
Maryland motorists with good
driving records, calling 1t "un-
fair" and a profit-making
scheme for the insurance COM
panies."
The charges were made yes
terday at a hearing before the
Committee on Motor Vehicles
of the Legislative Council.
Delegate Edgar P. Silver.
Democrat of Baltimore. the
committee chairman, set the
tone Of the session by asking
whether the plan is a real mer-
1t plan or a method for the in
surance companies ito balance
the books"
The plan, sold by some 240
Maryland insurance companies,
would lower rates for good mo-
torists as much as IA per cent
under basic premiums. Other
motorists, depending on their
records, would be charged as
much as 130 per cent more.
Major defender of the plan
was James r. McWilliams,
manager of the automobile di-
vision of the National Bureau
of Casualty Underwriters.

First occupant of the planned
4,500-home self-contained COM
munity of Bel Air are expected
to move in by October, 1861.
Groundbreaking for six fur
nished exhibit homes was held
yesterday. Bel Airs developer
Is William j. Levitt, builder of
Levittowns in Long Island,
Pennsylvania and New York.
Exhibit homes will be open
for inspection in October, when
orders will be taken for occu-
pancy in october. 1861. Bel Air
is planned on 2,226 acres in
Bowie. about is miles east of
Washington.
Mr.. Levitt, president of Le-
witt and Sons, Inc, said the
homes in Prince Georges County
will be the only ones built by
his firm to have central air
conditioning and built-in, con-
cealed antennas for television
and FIN radio reception. The
minimum price of $14,990 is
higher than his homes built
elsewhere. The maximum will
be $4,000.
He said that because of the
Nations expanding economy
these prices will be advanced
over the years. He called
$14,990 "an irreducible mini
num-"
$4,000 Average
Mr.. Levitt said the average
Bel Air house would cost $18,-
900. All prices include closing
costs, settling fees and all equip
ment in the house.
These homes have not been
seen by anyone and are a brand
new concept entirely different
from our other projects" Mr..
Levitt said.
A plant will be erected to
treat and soften well water, and
another to treat sewage prior
to its deposit in the Patuxent
