Norway Shrine to
28 Crash Victims

While Jewry throughout the
world mourned the 28 tragic
victims of the air-liner crash
near Oslo, Norway, Nov. 21, Nor-
wegians of all faiths have begun
a concentrated campaign to con-
struct a Kibbutz in Israel in
their memory.
Five days after the crash,

capital's labor daily, launched a
nation-wide drive to raise funds
for the memorial which will be
in the form of 30 Norwegian-
built pre-fabricated houses and
buildings to comprise the core
of new Jewish desert agricul-
ture colony.
There will be a building in
memory of each of the children,
as well as • the one Norwegian
and two Jewish nurses who died
in the crash. Labor unions, pub-
• lic and private organizations and
individauls have been asked to
contribute the $42,000 necessary
to bring "Kibuti. Norge" into

being.

on the part of local Kosher
butchers has been completed by
the women's committee on con-
sumer problems. Some shops
were found deficient in living
up to the agreement reached be-
tween the Jewish Community
Council and the Kosher Butch-
ers' Association last July, the.
report declared.
The three points previously
agreed upon by both parties
were:
1. Every butcher is to itemize
prices and cuts of meat on all
carry-out and telephone orders.
2. Butchers are to display as
many cuts of meat as possible in
their showcases, with prices and
names of cuts attached. Such
meats as are not on display
were to be listed with prices in
the showcases.
3.. A standing committee is to
be formed to deal with any fur-
ther grievances or complaints
regarding the sale of *Kosher
meat.
After the survey, conducted
under_ the chairmanship of Mrs.
William H. Cohen, all Kosher
butchers were informed of the
Council's intent to make the re-
sults. available to the public.
Several butchers called to the
Council and stated that the sur-
vey in their store was made at
an -odd hour and that they gen-
erally have and will respect the
agreement reached with the
Council.
Twenty shops were found to
have met the minimum require-
ments of price posting. Twenty-
six others were listed as not
complying with the agreement.
Results of the survey are avail-
-able at the Council office in the
Washington Blvd Bldg.
