Israelis' Dope Habit
A leading Israeli pharma.
cist says that Israel has rut
heroin addicts, but does have
40,000
habitual users of
hashish, opium. I-SD and ex-
cesses of sleeping pills. Avra-
ham Tornau, of the Tel Aviv
health office, produced these
facts at a session of the sec-
ond congress of the World
Alliance for Israel Pharmacy,
meeting in Tel Aviv. He
noted that the drug habit be-
came even more fashionable
in Israel after 1967 with the
influx of numerous volun-
teers from abroad.

In an experimental project,
the ministry has hired 220
young people, mostly stu-
dents, to spend four hours a
d a y patrolling Tel Aviv
streets looking for traffic vi-
olators. They have full au-
thority to issue tickets to
anyone found breaking traffic
laws. Noting the "significant
decline" in traffic accidents
in the Tel Aviv area, Yaacobi
indicated that plans are un-

gram so that 500 youngsters
are signed up as traffic pa-
trollers in the Tel Aviv area.
Within two years, the project
may be expanded to include

The proliferation of private
cars produces traffic jams
in some of the major urban
centers, especially Tel Aviv,
Haifa and Jerusalem. To
deal with this, traffic special-
ists are constantly altering
the various road patterns on
various city streets to test
the best method of getting
traffic efficiently through the
city centers. There is little
prospect that the major ci-
ties will enlarge the roads
that form the major arteries
through their downtown sec-
tions. So, the likelihood is
that there will be more and
more traffic jams.
