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. 1 41 Years of SERVICE PhOne for Estimate THE BEST COSTS NO MORE , Leader Carpet Cleaning Co.
