curity, education is Israel's most urgent national problem, it was declared on the floor of Knesset by Prime Minister David Ben Gurion, who counselled a widening school program that would extend the compulsory school age to sixteen. At the same time the Prime M i n i s t e r suggested that all school children between the ages of 13 and 16 be required to learn a trade in industry or farming. Aprepos the teacher shortage and the lack of funds for secondary education, Mr. Ben Gurion said that the financial problem wil not be solved without the help of Jews outside Israel. To meet the educational needs of Israel's new generation, he said, will require an utmost effort in Israel and byworld Jewry.

Purim, the Biblical festival observed by the traditional reading of the Book of Esther, or (known as the Megillah), in commemoration of the deliverance of the Persian Jews, will be greeted in Jewish homes and synagogues this Saturday evening and Sunday. The events associated with the holiday, occurred in Persia some 2-100 years ago, during the reign of King Ahasuerus, when Hainan, prime m i n i s t e r and arch-anti-Semite plotted to exterminate the entire Jewish population because Mordecni, a Jew refused to bow down to him. His sinister designs were frustrated by the timely intervention of Queen Esther. Purim in many ways has the spirit of a social event with carnivals, parties, costume parades and other festivities. However, the holiday is a happy reminder that while evil may seem allpowerful, it can be defeated if people of good faith work together. Beth El Coronation The Megillah will be read at Beth El Synagogue, after the G:30 p.m. Maariv on Saturday and at 9 a.m. on Sunday. The children's Purim coronation will be held after their reading of the Megillah Sunday at 11 a.m. in the main sanctuary. Lynn Nogg, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernie Nogg, and Jerry Raznick, son of Mr. and Mrs. Morris R a z n i c k , selected as queen and king of Purim, will head the march of princesses and princes in the coronation. The princesses are: L i n d a

(Reprinted from the ROTARIAN for March 1903) On the cliffbound shores of the Dead Sea, where 40 centuries ago fire and brimstone incinerated the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and "the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace," another column of vapor today rises to greet the morning sun. Though its appearance in this bleak and eerie land, 1,300 feet below sea level, Is considerably less awesome than the pall described in the Book of Genesis, it symbolizes a story more dramatic than any Old Testament tale — that of the industrial growth of Israel, the tiny Mediterranean nation which this year marks the 15th year of its modern existence. Here on the Dead Sea, the collector of the waters of the Jordan River and the lowest spot on the face of the earth, 000 men—American and Iraqi, Moroccan and Yemenite, Yugoslav and German, the lean and sun-bronzed sabra (the nativeborn Israeli) and immigrants from a score of different lands

—toil to make the briny waters yield their riches: an estimated one billion tons of potash, a white, powdery substance used in the manufacture of fertilizer COO million tons of bromine, a heavy brown liquid which finds its way into chemical mixtures such as antiknock additives to gasoline; and mountains of salt enough to season the tables of the world. This is the Dead Sea Works, Ltd., exploiter of Israel's chief mineral resource, producer of a sizable portion of the nation's vitally needed export income, and bellweather of increased mining activity in the Negev, Southern Israel's triangular-shaped land of tinted cliffs, b o u 1 d erstrewn wadies, and sandy plains scorched by a merciless sun. To a trio of Israeli Rotarians and others managing this unique mining enterprise, the challenge has been to weld a homegcneous work force from immigrant employees who are. as varied as Joseph's coat of mai.y colors They speak several different languages, few have had more than a rudimentary education,

and fewer still have technical skills. The company has had to teach basic arithmetic, elementary chemistry, and even the use of simple tools such as a wrench. Such are the problems which all Israel faces, however, in its drive to b e c o m e "the Switzerland of the Middle East." With unlimited immigration in a land of limited size and natural resources, Israel's economic future lies in the development of the industrial skills of her 2,100,000 people. Already they produce and export items such as textiles, clothing, cement, refrigerators, polished diamonds, false teeth, and tires. The nation's major export item is citris fruit. Since Israel cannot trade with neighboring Arab countries because of an economic boycott, it is developing export markets elsewhere. In newly independent nations such as Ghana. Liberia,. Ceylon, and Burma these ties are expanding into v a r i o u s forms of technical assistance and studies in education, social reform, and business technique. F o r e i g n aid such as grants, loans, revenue f r o m the sale of bonds, and the United Jewish Appeal help Israel's accumulation of development capital, but the day in which Israel hopes to stand o.i its own feet, economically, is fast approaching. German reparations and restitutions to individuals, which amounted to nearly 100 million dollars in l'JGO, will end in 1964 with the final installment on the !!2!-mi!lion-do!lar debt. Israel must apply all its demonstrated ingenuity to fill the gap when these payment1; cease. Basically this calls for more exports, less imports. On the front line of this economic battle are Israel's 1,200 Rotarians, who are members of 30 Rotary Clubs r a n g i n g from Nahariya in the north to Beersheba, an ancient town of 40,000 which is the gateway to the Negev, Israel's frontier. Just 15 years ago Beersheba. was a town of 5,000 with no electricity, its only source of water Abraham's Well, dug 4,000 ago. Rotary took root in 1929 with the establishment of the Rotary Club of Jerusalem, which now has 88 members. In the Rotary Clubs of this historic land, holy to three major' faiths, Arab and Jew sit side by side, even as they did during the hostilities of 1948 when Rotarians of Haifa, for example, had to d o d g e snipers' bullets to reach the meeting place.
