out that its approval will pro-
vide more efficieht municipal

They say that 25 percent of
present city employees leave
each year, many to accept posi-
tions where' Social Security
benefits may be obtained. In
addition, highly-qualified per-
sons will not apply for civil
service jobs because there is no
Social Security protection.
Charter Amendment A sup-
porters state that it will re-
duce employee turnover, en-
courage trained employees to
remain in city service and will
attract younger applicants. Re-
cent legislation by Congress
and the state legislature now

Life in the farm villages of
Israel, told and photographed
by American farm youths who
went there under an exchange
program, is featured in the new

publication "Other Hearts in
Other Lands," which has been
issued by the Anti-Defamation

League of Bnai Brith in coop-
eration with the National 4-H
Club Foundation.
The International Farm
Youth Exchange is sponsored by
the Foundation, and the Co-
operative Extension Service of
the U.S. Department of Agri-
culture and the Land Grant
Colleges and Universities. The
exchange with. Israel began in
1951.
The 17 American youths—all
non-Jews—come from every
region in the U.S. Each of them
has reported extensively on his
experiences in Israel before
many groups back home.
During their stay in Israel,
they spent 4 few weeks at each
of several types of private and
communal settlements — from
Moshavot to Kibbutzim—where
they observed the variety and
spirit of Israel farming.
- A second new ADL publica-
tion dealing with Israel, "Israel
Land of the Bible," is a collec-
tion of material describing the
new land and its old heritage.
It includes articles dealing with
the place of Israel in Jewish
tradition, and maps marking the
archeological sites which remind
us of the land's significance to

\

Jew, Christian and Moslem.
Also included are pictures de-
picting the life and work of
Israel's present settlers, and de-
scriptive articles on the variety
of religious groups who still
practice their faith there.
"Other Hearts in Other
Land," and "Israel, Land of the
Bible," can be purchased from
the Anti-Defamation League.
