Levy pointed out that all
of the stones that were
needed to build the Ashdod
Port were provided by this
corporation and that 20 per
cent of the stones needed for
construction work in Tel Aviv
was secured from this proj-
ect since its founding in
1950. He said 2,000,000 tons
of rock were used to build
Ashdod Port.

"There is sufficient ma-
terial in the area of this
great plant to provide Is-
rael's needs for 200 years,"
Levy said.

The Hillel Foundation at
Wayne State University will
hold a coffee house 8:30 p.m.
Oct. 21 and co-ed football
game 1 p.m. Oct. 22 at the
Oak Park Municipal Park.
Applications still are being
accepted at Hillel for courses
in Middle East history, basic
Judaism, Holocaust litera-
ture, Hebrew and the soci-
ology of American Jewry.

The 10-week courses are
offered by Hillel-WSU in con-
junction with the Midrasha,
College of Jewish Studies.

GARELICK'S
GALLERY
will open its 23rd season
with an exhibition and sale
of paintings, drawings and
sculpture. Among the art-
ists are Raphael Soyer,
Jack Levine, Burchfield, Pi-
casso, Chagall, Baskin, Ever-
good and many others. The
exhibition will be held
through Oct. 21.

Editor, The Jewish News:
An unfortunate event is
presently occurring at Wayne
State University. It appears
that, under a new directive
to "centralize" the general
library, the famous Kasle
Collection is being broken
up. This collection is signifi-
cant in that it is made up of
Hebrew. Yiddish and English
books dealing with Jewish
law and culture and is one of
the finest in the Midwest.
It is uncertain why these
books cannot be maintained
in the present situation, a
small room on the second
floor. It is not the only - col-
lection to be sacrificed, as
the music collection was
broken up one month ago de-
spite the protest of the chair-
man of the music depart-
ment, Robert E. Lawson. To
students, it means having to
run all over the library to
obtain books which were
once conveniently and cor-
rectly located.
Whether such action can

M. Pings, seems convinced
that he has a reason to de-
stroy it and has already
started the process.
1 would encourage anyone

concerned over the future of
this Jewish book collection to
contact the office of the
president of Wayne State
University, George E. Gullen
Jr., and register their opin-
ions. It might save this treas-
ure for the benefit of Jewish
culture in metropolitan De-
troit.

Pointing to the advances
made, he said that in 1950
the cost of a cubic yard of

stone in Israel was 14 pounds
— then valued at about $50.
Today the cost, as a result
of the progress attained
through the American-estab-
lished plant, has been re-

taking, which -went through
several stages, merged with
Sold Bone, the Histadrut

construction projects. The
initial investments have been
repaid, and Levy's share of
$975,000 has been refunded.
But Levy returns to Israel
twice a year to inspect the
work and to guide it in new
methods and representatives
of the corporation come here
regularly to learn from Am-
erican experiences.
Levy, who operates nine
such plants in this country,
with headquarters in Detroit,
said there is no greater joy
in his life, no better nahas,
than that he derives from
seeing the Detroiters' under-
taking so successful.

"A good livelihood has
been provided for 256 fam-

are proud of the constant
growth and the continuing
advencement made for plant,
its employees, the services
rendered." The worker s,
Levy said, have all become
home owners, "and it makes
my heart with joy over it."

The great need, he said, is
to "encourage more people
to go to Israel, to create new
industries there, to invest
their capital and in that way
build the country even more
extensively. "I am thrilled
