Lack of physical facilities in
the overcrowded main building

the opening of a new class at
this time. In response to spon-

14 New Settlements
Established in Negev
That the Negev, the Southern
section of Palestine, will play
an increasingly important role in
the future of the Homeland, and
will provide living space for a
substantial Jewish population, is
the opinion of Jewish scientific
circles in Palestine.
Jewish colonization in the Ne-
gev is of comparatively recent
date. During the last five years
14 new cooperative . settlements
were established there. A call
has been issued to Jewish youth
in Palestine for intensified colon-
ization in the Negev, under the
slogan "Redeem and Renew the
Negev."
