TEL AVIV (ZINS)—Only 15
years ago, there was a severe
shortage of foodstuffs in Israel.
Now the situation is different. In
1959 17.6 per cent of the work
force was engaged in agriculture
as compared with 11.4 per cent in
1968.
It is envisaged by experts that
in the next five years Israel will
double its agricultural production.
Even now ample agricultural
products are available to feed
many millions of consumers.

plan on modern ELECTRIC HEAT
When you build a new home or add on a new room, you
naturally want everything to be new, clean and modern.
That's why you should insist on flameless electric home
heating—the truly modern kind _of heat. It's quiet,
trouble-free, as clean as electric light itself. And it can
give you that wonderful exclusive feature—individual
room temperature control.
An Edison-Approved Electric Heating Contractor will be
glad to tell you all about comfortable, moisture-retaining
electric heat. He'll figure your operating cost, and
there'll be no obligation. And right now, your contractor's
offering a $100 trade-in on your old heating system.
Call him for an electric heat survey, or mail the coupon
