Pictorial Tour
of Jewish State

On their tour of Israel's settlements and plants,
Mr. and Mrs. Philip Slomovitz had an opportunity to
see •how profitably the Israel Bond dollars are being
utilizied for Israel's upbuiFdirm. They also had occasion
to meet with many Detroiters who are pioneering in
Israel's reconstruction.
The photos are by one of lirael's best photogra-
phers, Efren Ilani. Ilani not only is an excellent photog-
rapher: he is also a wonderful guide. He knows Israel
well, is -acquainted with the work of Israel Bond Or-
ganization and is &dedicated interpreter of Israel's ac-
complishments.

At Urim, on the road to the Negev, Mr. and Mrs. Slomovitz had a delightful visit
with several Detroiters. In the photo with them, from the left, are: Marilyn Becker
Sidewater, Morry Silver, Rina Schwartzberg (daughter of the Harold Silvers) and
son Yigal, and Weasel Lipshitz (daughter of the David Goldbergs).

One of the truly great experiences of the Detroiters, while
studying the great industrial creative efforts of the new pio-
neers and' frontiersmen, made possible with the aid of Israel
Bond investments, was •at the Bromine Works, at S'dom. Here
the maintenance mechanic, Eli Kemlot, and the plant's con-
struction manager Eliezer Haberfeld, explain the marvelous
s great Negev effort. The higheit concen-
developments in thi
tration of bromines in the wprld is at this spot.
At this plant, Dr. FeiberYaron, its director, has perfected
a cold process of producing the bromines. While the hot process
used everywhere else also is used here, the cold process pre-
dominates. This is the only place in the world where thii
process, which is found superior to -the old warm method, is
in use. -

At the Spinning Mill at Kiryat Gat, John Briscoe, of Lanca-
shire, England, an expert who came here to assist in establish-
ing the weaving industry, shows how the Israel cotton is being
woven into fine yarn.

D. Gershonowitz, plant manager at the Cotton Gin in Kiryat Gat, shows the Detroit
guests how the new Israel product is being perfected in Israel. "It is already one of
the world's best cotton products," Gershonowitz said. -

David Sunman, from Yemen, one of the pioneer workers at the three-year-old
Kharsa Ceramics Plant at Beersheba, shows how sinks, washbowls, toilets and scores
of other articles have their beginnings in this modern Israeli plant.
