TEL AVIV—A fire Wednesday
destroyed a cardboard box factory
near Israel's international airport
at Lydda. Firemen battled the
blaze for four hours before bring-
ing it under control. Damage to the
Kargal cardboard plant was esti-
mated at $571,000.

for it." The factory, located 10
miles southeast of Tel Aviv, was
founded 15 years ago by Canadian
industrialist Sam Dubiner.
