Jerusalem Calling

Israeli Experts in
Burma Mission

(Translation of Hebrew column
on left. Published by Brit Ivrit
Olamit.)

The neighbor who lives in
the flat above mine is a very
gifted 'engineer, and he is suc-
cessful at his work in the Min-
istry of Health. Yesterday he
knocked at my door and came
into my house.
"I have come to say Shalom
(to bid you goodbye), I and my
family are travelling to a very
distant country, to Burma."
I was very much surprised
because I know that he loves
our country and I asked him
why he was leaving the
country. He was offended at
my question and explained to
me that the Minister of Health
had asked him to go to Burma
for a period of two years to
help the Burmese people in
matters of sanitation of water
and milk.
For seven years now the
Burmese government has main-
tained friendly relations with
the State of Israel and (since
then) our Government has ex-
tended aid to the young state
at the (other) end of Asia.
Nineteen Israeli experts are
at present in Burma.
One of the veteran experts
is a member of a kibbutz in
Galilee who is teaching the
Burmese modern agricultural
methods. He shows them how
to use tractors and how to
irrigate the soil with water
from deep wells.
The heads of the Burmese
people who have visited Israel
were very much impressed by
the collective agricultural set-
tlements and wish to establish
settlements like these in Bur-
ma. Among the experts they
have invited there are mem-
bers of moshavim who are
teaching the Burmese the col-
lective way of lift.
It is hard for the Israeli
experts to live for two years
in a strange and distant
country but they know that
their work is important for the
friendly relations between
Israel and the peoples of Asia.

Urge Polish Jews
to Withdraw Children
from Religious Classes

VIENNA (JTA)—Jewish par-
ents in Poland were urged by
the Cultural Association of
Jews there, a representative
body of Polish Jewry, to with-
draw their children from
classes on religion held in
public schools where the Catho-
lice religion is taught.
Indicating its anti-religious
attitude in general, the Asso-
ciation painted out that any
Sew who is an atheist, cer-
tainly does not have to send
his children for religious in-
struction. On the other hand,
the Association asked, if he's
religious, how can a Jew ap-
prove of his child's attending
lectures on the Catholic reli-
gion?
Reports from Warsaw re-
vealing this development, stated
that numerous Jewish parents
in Poland do not object to
their children's attending pub-
lic school classes on the Catho-
lic religion because they do
not want their children to feel
different from the other pupils
in school.
