African Minister Assures Jewish Rights in 'Christian' Schools THE '5' LIROT COIN in a limited issue of 8,000 proof and 31,000 bright, uncirculated. The coin measures 34 millimeters in diameter, and its weight is 25 grams. Eilat was chosen for recognition by the State of Israel on this year's Independence Day coin since, in its 10 year of operation, the Port of Eilat has become a vital trade route for Israel through the Red Sea; 3,000 years ago Eilat was the trading port of King Solo- mon but following his reign it re- mained in oblivion for 25 centuries until the establishment of the State of Israel and its subsequent cam- paign to re-establish the port once again made Eilat an international waterway and Israel's gateway for trade with the Far East. The obverse of the 19th anni- versary coin is dominated by the '5' of the coin's denomination in Israel pounds. The words "Lirot Yisraeliot (Israel Pounds)" ap- pear in Hebrew in the curve of the down stroke of the numeral. 80 ACRES OF FUN!

EN) JOHANNESBURG (JTA)—Both houses of South Africa's parlia- ment passed a bill setting up a new, national education policy which, among other clauses, pro- vides that education in government schools shall be "Christian and broadly national in character." However, Sen. Jan de Klerk, principal sponsor of the legisla- tion, who is minister for educa- tion, arts and sciences, has prompt- ly assured the Jewish community that the bill maintains the status quo "as far as Jewish parents, teachers and pupils are con- cerned." During the debate on the bill in the National Assembly, Sen. de Klerk had told the house: "The provision that education should have a Christian character merely meant that education should be built on the foundation of tradi- tional, Western culture and philo- sophy of life, with biblical prin- ciples recognized." The editor of the South African Jewish Times had requested Sen. de Klerk editorially to clarify that statement further. In his reply, the minister for education de- clared: "I fail to appreciate the un- easiness of the Jewish commun- ity in the face of the clarifica- tions and assurances given by me in both houses of parliament on the national education policy bill. From the Hansard (official minutes) reports, you will ob- serve that my definition of the concepts of 'Christian education' and 'broad national character' leave no room for fears. "In any case the bill specifically states that 'the religious conviction of the parents and pupils shall be respected in regard to religious in- struction and religious ceremon- ies,' and the bill contains no other provisions appertaining to the re- ligious convictions of teachers. In effect, therefore, the status quo is being maintained so far as Jewish parents, teachers and pupils are concerned. In the light of the fore- going, any fear or doubt which may exist is without foundation."
