Plight of 600, Refugees
In Norway Is Revealed

.

Crowding the activities , of 28
hours into the normal . 24 is a
rare accomplishment, Out one
that Leonard Baruch manages to
practice daily. One of the most
active Jewish young persons in
Detroit, Baruch is well known
through his work in Masada, the
Junior Service Group and the
newly-formed Young Adult Coun-
cil, of which he is president.
Elected to serve with Barbara
A. Greenberg as chairman of the
Junior Division of the 1948 Al-
lied Jewish Campaign, Baruch
will supervise the more than 1200
volunteers who will help with
this year's drive.
His evenings are devoted pri-
marily to attending the meetings
of the groups with which he is
affiliated. He was one of the
founding fathers of the Young
Adult Council, the organization
that he fondly refers to as his
"baby." Together with several
other young people who felt that
the Jewish young people in De-
troit needed one co-ordinating
body to bind the several groups
together, Baruch set out to form
such a structure.
With the assistance of Harold
Arian, who was then assistant di-
rector at the Jewish Community
Center, ,they drew up a tentative
constitution and the Young Adult
Council was on its way. Now
a permanent part of the Jewish
community, the Council's mem-
bership includes almost two
dozen young people's groups. '
In speaking of this year's cam-
paign, Baruch places particular
stress on the importance of the
captains and workers. "On their
shoulders rests the degree of suc-
cess of the drive," he declared.
It is his hope that this year
will see the participation of many
young men and women who have
never worXed. for the drive be-
fore:. "One , of our aims in bring
ink in these- new people," he
said;,"-is to streamline the struc-
ture of the whole campaign."

By THEODORE HOROVIC
. PRAGUE, (JTA)—One of the
first steps of the new Czech gov-
ernment was the issuance of an
order by the Ministry of Interior
rescinding an- existing ban on the
emigration of Jews from this
country. The order provides for
the issuance of exit permits to
-Czechoslovakian and alien Jews
wishing to leave the country.
At the same time the govern-
ment announced that it will no
longer •issue transit visas for Ro-
manian Jews who seek to enter
other countries in Europe or Pal-
estine via Czechoslovakia. All

such transit visas already issued
in Romania by Czechoslovak
consulates there have been can-
celled.
It was revealed that a number
of proposals have been submitted
to the Social Committee of the
'Czechoslovak National Assembly
which, if adopted, would in ef-
fect eliminate the restitution
claims of many Jews who lost
agricultural holdings during the
Nazi occupation of the country
and diminish the value of other
agricultural and industrial hold-
ings.
A Czechoslovak youth who des-
ecrated a Jewish cemetery in
Dvur Kraleve was sentenced to

OSLO, -(:.ITA) — The plight of .
-6.00 Jewish; refugees who came to
Norway last May at the invita
tion of the Jewish Social Commit:-
tee, which promised them em-
ployment and an opportunity to
rebuild their lives, was revealed
in an article by Ole Bang Hansen,
well-known Norwegian writer.
According to the article, the
refugees are living in squalid,
unheated huts in camps which
have no water supply. The gov-
ernment has promised to improve
the living conditions of the Jews
and provide them with jobs.

Solution to Zion Water Problem

Grandma, no doubt, speaks of Heinz
Kosher Baked Beans as a "meichel." Her enthusias-
tic grandchild might call them 'swell." A rather free translate
don! But both of these epicures aptly describe the "pareve,"
easy-to-fix dish that wins applause of every "mayvin." Oven-
baked until golden-brown and fairly bursting with tender.
mess, Heinz Kosher Beans are drenched in a rich, savory
tomato sauce. "Swell" or "meichel," they're mighty good,
eating!

The Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovoth, Palestine, has
had erected on its grounds a pilot plant for demineralizing water
to make it fit for human consumption. This is the first step in a
campaign to create an adequate water supply for household use
and irrigation in those sections of Palestine which at present trans-
port their water to the spot via pipelines and tank trucks.
Construction on the plant was carried out under the direction
of Dr. Walter Juda of Harvard University, shown above operating
the controls of the plant.
The plant is now demineralizing water containing from 1,000
to 2,000 parts per million of dissolved salts, bringing the salinity
down to 400-500 parts, which is considered excellent drinking water.
It is designed to treat approximately two thousand gallons of water
per day.
