IS SANDBAGGED
THE
Sandbags around the nursery to tuck Junior
out of sniper's range... The door of the under-
ground shelter always open so Mom and the
kids can take cover in a hurry...A neighbor
standing guard while pad gets the ploughing
done...
That's life today' in Israel's two hundred
and fifty frontier settlements as Jewish
pioneers keep building the Middle East's only
democracy.
Sound familiar? Yes, it was that way in
America's beginning also as determined set-
tlers forged the American dream fr6m coast
to coast.
In•five years 884 of Israel's settlers have
been killed or wounded by border terrorists.
Now the enemy is stronger than ever thanks
to vast Communist-furnished arms. -Now
Israel's cities are but -ten minutes away from
the enemy's airfields — thanks to his new
Soviet-supplied jet bombers.
But Israel's pioneers aren't stopping,
aren't Cunning. They're still building, always
hoping for peace and the day the sandbags can
come down.
And they're hoping for something else:
That you, who have helped them take in 800,000
refugees in eight years, settling -them and ab-
sorbing them, will keep on with this great life-
saving effort.
Right now, at least 45,000 refugees must
be brought to Israel from tension-ridden North
Africa. *Faced with the supreme emergency of
insuring their own survival, Israel's people
can't meet the great emergency of those who
must leave Morocco and Tunisia.
