Money, Brains
to Fight Pollution
JERUSALEM — Koor In-
dustries has declared 1973
"Ecology Year," and will
invest 0.1 per cent of its
turnover in the battle against
pollution in its own plants.
This is above current ex-
penditure by individual com-
panies.
Spokesman of the Histadrut
industrial complex noted that
Makhteshim, one of its af-
filiated companies, plans
(with the aid of a World
Bank loan) to invest IL70,-
000.000 ($17,500,000) in ex-
pansion. Of this sum IL5,-
000,000 ($1,250,000) will be
devoted to eliminating pollu-
tion.
Turnover in Koor last year
came to 11.1,700.000,000
($425,000,000) and is growing;
so the fund should have close
to 1L2,000,000 ($500,000) for
its projects next year.
Mean-while, Israel's agri-
culture minister, Haim Gvati,
has appointed a ' b,r_a i n
trust" to deal with problems
of environmental quality,
headed by Water Commis-
.— sioner Menahem Kantor, and
representatives of the min-
istry of agriculture.
The team will deal with
three main subjects: the pro-
tection of water resources,
combating the residual ef-
fects of agricultural pesti-
cides, and rural develop
mcnt and beautification.

year of studies opened at
national educational program
commemorating the 30th an-
niversary of Jewish resist-
ance to Nazi oppression and
terror has been initiated by
the Bnai Brith Mittel Foun-
dations.
Fifteen major campuses
including the University of
Michigan have been selected
as recipients of a special mo-
bile exhibition, "The Holo-
caust and Resistance," a
display of captured Nazi
photographs dramatizing Jew-
ish life in the ghetto, concen-
tration camps, crematoria—
and some of the Six Million
Jewish victims.
The exhibit was prepared
by Vad Vashem, the National
Israeli Remembrance Au-
thority in Jerusalem, at the
request of the American
Federation of Jewish Fight-
ers, Camp Inmates and Nazi
Victims. The goals of this
educational initiative, in the
words of Federation Presi-
dent Eli Zborowski, include
"heightening the awareness
ish and non-Jewish youth"
and "stimulating more ex-
tensive studies on the sub-
ject."
Each school where the mo-
bile exhibit will be shown
has arranged a special pro-
gram to accompany the dis-
play. Scheduled events in-
clude speakers, discussion
groups, films, play-readings
and a variety of memorial
tributes.
Homeowners Told:
Shape Up or Sell Out
TEL. AVIV (JTA)—Local
homes are going to exhibit
some improvement in their
appearance — or their own-
ers will receive fines. That
order has come in a city
council bylaw requiring
homeowners to make exterior
repairs which city inspect-
ors deem necessary.
The law also forbids hang-
ing laundry from front bal-
conies. Violators of the new
law risk a IL 500 ($125)
fine, with an extra IL 120
($30) tacked on each day of
noncompliance. The law ap-
plies to apartment-owners
and to landlords as well.
