" RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, (JTA) — Forty-three Catholic and Protestant contestants — but not a single Jew—from this city, have registered to com- pete in a statewide. Bible corn- petition here on Sept. 14 to determine who will represent Brazil at the International Bible Contest to be held in Israel in October. • In Sao Paulo, however, four Jews registered along with 16 Christians for the Brazilian semi-finals to be sponsored by Israel Ambassador Yosef Tekoa. in the contest will in- „dude t ctor of the Univer- rof. Pedro Cal- mon an • Catholic and Protestant en. In his regular io program here today, Rab H. Lemles sharply criticized e fact that not a single Jew om Rio de Janeiro had regis ed for the local Bible cont Federation When we consider the un- knowns and complexities of our world that face us in the New Year, it is somewhat unsettling to the most fortunate of us. Consider what a terrifying place our world is to the unfor- tunate . . . to the physically or emotionally handicapped, to the aged, to children whose parents lack the desire or the means of caring for them, to the unem- ployed, to those who are ill, to those in lands that discriminate against Jews. Consider our fellow Jews in lands where being a Jew is beset with mistreatment and even of persecution. Consider the Jews of Israel, for all their cour- age and resolution, engaged in a heroic struggle to transplant an entire population from poverty to economic well-being, from in- security to solid adjustment and to transform their country from a- haven into a national home. • One of the ironies of mod- ern civilization is that each time we increase our knowl- edge of ourselves, we at the totally ignorant. At the turn of the century when life was less complex, helping the poor meant leaving a basket of food. Now we know that there are involved social maladjustments beyond poverty. We have dis- covered that the children of well-to-do parents can some- times be more deprived • than poor children. Medical science has made mar- velous strides and people live far longer than they used to. Now the problem is how to make those extra years the blessing they should be, rather than a tremen- dous burden for the old person and his family to bear. Jewish education now goes be- yond the rote of learning lan- guage or history; it includes adaptation to the American Jew- ish scene. Community centers and camps now perform the use- ful social function of teaching children — and adults — how to play and live together. This be- comes a mighty force for Jewish identification and Jewish group survival. on Has Role of Rapid Growth in Israel's Economics The Sed egion is rapidly ecomin e of the centers of Israel' onomic life. T fact requires the con- ion of first-class communi- ions to the region; these, in turn, cheapen transport and con- tribute to the viability of fur- ther enterprises, not only in the domain of minerals, but also in agriculture and related under- takings. The tropical vegetation of the Sedom swamp can serve two purposes: the growth of certain grazing plants such as artemesis and striplex, which are rich in vitamins and can stand the high " • salinity of the swamps, is being promoted, and the _raising of cattle is being introduced and acclimatized to the local heat. The second. project, which perhaps has even a brighter future than cattle raising, is the propagation of the juncus brush, growing wild in the swamp, and its utilization 'as raw material for producing paper. In addition, there are experi- ments under way to grow fresh vegetables with salt water by a special method which ensures the speedy drainage of the water so that the salt is re- moved from the plant roots be- fore it can damage them. Here, too, just as everywhere else in Israel, the Jewish Na- tional Fund participates in im- portant development work with a view to making the fullest use of all . nature's gifts, whether large or small, to strengthen and consolidate the economic foundations of Israel. In Sedom and Eyn Gedi, on both banks of the Dead Sea, the Jewish National Fund is engaged in land reclamation and is assist- ing in experiments with salt- tolerant plants, e.g. the juncus brush for cellulose products, date palms, etc. • ••••:**-. mation have vastly complicated the problem of finding suitable employment for the physically handicapped and for the worker burdened by social discrimina- tion. Population shifts are spread- ing. Jewish families over an ever expanding suburbia. This has cre- ated an enormous problem of logistics. Iris difficult to get chil- dren to centers of formal and informal Jewish education, and equally difficult to locate enough of those centers near scattered areas of Jewish population. Marvelous progress in the field of civil rights has thrown us into close proximity with our neighbors which makes the problem of harmonious rela- tions ever more important. Fortunately for the community, we are organized into a federa- tion of agencies and services as an aid in strengthening Jewish life everywhere: Dedicated com- munity leaders aided by highly trained communal workers de- vote themselves to working to- ward the solution of these and a' host of other equally complex problems the year-round. Once a year we conduct the Allied Jew; ish Campaign and the funds rais- ed for a world of service imple- ment the work to be done. The end result is that life in Detroit, throughout the world— and notably in Israel—is made more meaningful, more under- standable, more bearable, more pleasant, for thousands of our fellow Jews, among them our friends and neighbors. The prob- lems we face as we enter the New Year are sombre and ex- tensive; it is good to know that we shall continue addressing our- selves to meeting them together, with determination, generosity and dignity.
