climate will now be able to do
so."

citrus groves and date palms. The
ranch houses are all adjacent to
the main lobby and each unit
has a private bath and shower
and is tastefully furnished.
New additions are underway
for a card room and TV room.
Mr. Cohen said "our two stain-
less steel kitchens will be a by-
, word in Kashrut, and we will
have the utmost in quality and
service plus a strict observance
Of the dietary laws."

ity and activity for a perfect

Israel in 9 Months
NEW YORK, (JTA)—A total
sum of $65,000,000 — the major
portion provided by American
Jews—has been spent by United

tion, rehabilitation and resettle-
ment in Israel, Dewey D. Stone,
UIA chairman, reported.
In a third-quarter statement to
the organiiation's board cf di-
rectors, Mr. Stone disclosed that
"due to the pressures of immigra-
tion from North Africa and the
need to consolidate new settle-
ments, the UIA agencies had in-
curred a deficit of $10,000 during
the first three quarters of this
year. This deficit has been cov-
ered by long-term loans." The
UIA is the major beneficiary of
the nationwide United Jewish
Appeal campaign.
