rarely. On the other hand, they are
well known in all the settlements scat-
tered along the borders. The members
of these settlements go to sleep every
evening with the comfortable and safe
feeling that someone is guarding them
and their property.
The border police gives the state of
Israel and its residents a feeling of
safety and tranquility.

The Jewish National Fund, in
cooperation with the Dimona mu-
nicipality, has prepared the ground
for the planting of a 400-dunam
park (100 acres) to bear the name
of David Ben-Gurion, in this desert
city on the Central Negev Hills.
