continues threatening the security
of Israel and other neighbors."
Sen. Edward Kennedy, Massa-
chusetts Democrat, told the con-
vention that as long as the Arab
refugee problem continued and as
long as the Arab states "refuse
to bend in any way, the threat to
Israel's security will exist." He
called the picture of peace in the
Middle East and the security of
Israel a "brighter" one. While
some Arab leaders "are still dedi-
cated to the destruction of Israel,
militant Arab leaders "are running
into increasing difficulties with
more moderate Arab states," he
said.

No Sterility, But —
You won't find an atmosphere of sterility, slickness or saneness
of a chain store—but you will find real hospitality, ability and
characters. The roof leaks (very little overhead) the tires
are not stacked in nice neat piles, and the activities look
chaotic—the characters are smiling, enjoying their work, and
concerned with your personal safety. They include college
trained engineers and factory trained mechanics, People who
you can be proud to know and who say . . . "the days of
personal service need not be over where your family safety
is concerned."
Itzhak Artzi (right), recently-named director of Youth Aliyah,
tours the Mosad Aliyah Children's Village at Petach Tikvah,
Israel.
He is pictured with Yoel Shiftan, director of the village, and Mrs.
Max Sacks, associate chairman of the Israel board of trustees of the
Mizrachi Women's Organization of America, which operates the
vil-
lage. Artzi, who succeeded Moshe Kol in March, after the latter's
service of 19 years as head of Youth Aliyah, characterizes the pres-
ent period as "critical" in meeting educational needs, particularly at
the secondary school level, in Israel. Mosad Aliyah includes an
accredited agricultural high-school and a teachers seminary, training
teachers for assignments in development and new-immigrant areas.
