The Fala- shas number about 25,000 and live located about 53,000 acres of fer- tile land to the Falashas but the land is heavily wooded and requires extensive clearance for which funds are urgently needed. According to the letter, the Fala- shas live in mud and thatch houses and subsist on a diet of sorghum and local cereal grains poor in proteins. Infant mortality and the incidence of debilitating diseases is high and educational opportunities are limited.

Sisterhoods' Art Calendar Features Marans' Sculptures Striking photographs of sculpture by Moissaye Marans—wood figures which the artist calls his visual sermons—illustrate the art calen- dar issued by the National Federa- tion of Temple Sisterhoods for the year 5730, which will begin at sun- down on Sept. 12. Among the pieces of sculpture which embody the artist's descrip- tion are "Swords Into Plowshares" and "The Book Against the Sword." His subject is universal man at his best, constantly aspiring for a bet- ter, more peaceful world. Moissaye Marans was born in Romania in 1902. Living in Poland during World War I. he witnessed the overwhelming death and de- struction, the suffering, confusion. and political upheavals. His re- action against these devastating experiences was to form the under- lying themes of his mature art.
