Saluting Israel's

five years of freedom

They could be your own neighborhood kids,
healthy, happy, carefree. Actually, they're
typical kids of Israel. And they really have
something to romp about—their country's

fifth birthday, April 20th.
There's cause for you to celebrate, too.
For through your support of the United
Jewish Appeal you helped Israel become a
stronghold of freedom in a critical area.
Partly because of you *these kids are
growing up in a land with free elections,
fair courts, free education, a free press,
freedom of worship and freedom from fear.
In five years, Israel has 'bade amazing
progress in the face of a staggering array of

problems—the Influx of 750,000 homeless
refugees—the need for new cities, settle-
ments, industry and to expand agriculture.

But Israel's difficulties' are far from
ended. Some 240,000 newcomers still live
in shacks and huts. Vast projects of absorp-
tion, land development and irrigation re-
main to be carried out. Above all, Israel's
gates must remain wide open to all who
can come.

On this fifth anniversary of Israel's free-
dom, then, resolve to help as never before.
For freedom's sake—to keep the gates open
—give to the United Jewish Appeal. Give

through your community campaign—today.
