Tu b'Shevat Note
From Siberia
TEL AVIV—Israel's minis-
ter of agriculture received a
letter from a group of Jews
from Novosibirsk, Siberia,
bearing the names of four
families and conveying their
greetings to Israel's farmers
and foresters on the occasion
of Tu b'Shevat—the new year
for trees.
The letter states: "On the
occasion of Tu b'Shevat we
send you our best wishes
from the city of Novosibirsk
to all the tillers of the soil
and the foresters.
"Dear brothers—may our
native land turn into a flour-
ishing garden. Today we are
not able to partake with you
in tree-plantings and we,
therefore, ask in the name
of all members of our family
(11 souls) to plant trees in
our name. May we see you
soon in our homeland."
The Keren Kayemet will
fulfill this r e q u e s t: JNF
World Chairman, Jacob Tsur
will plant 11 trees for the
j
grocIp.

Implanted in Israeli
Nuclear Pacemaker
TEL AVIV (JTA) — The
first nuclear pacemaker im-
plant operation in Israel was
performed Monday at Beilin-
son Hospital by a team of
surgeons led by Prof. Maur-
ice Levy, the surgeon who
performed the first heart
transplant operation in Is-
rael.
The pacemaker was im-
planted in the body of a 45-
year-old man whose name
was withheld. A spokesman
for the U.S.-based Meditronic
Co., which produced the de-
vice, said that the lifetime
of such a pacemaker is more
than 10 years, compared to
2-3 years for a conventional
pacemaker.
Previous pacemaker im-
plants in Israel have been
From the Mouth of Youth
During the American
Jewish Historical Society
exhibition, Saturday night,
at the Detroit Historical
Museum, Solan W. Weeks,
director of the Detroit mu-
seums, reminisced about
the American Jewish Ter-
centenary celebration,
when he was a guide dur-
ing the exhibitions held at
the Detroit Museum. At
one point, he recalled,
when he had a group of
children from one of the
Jewish schools, he de-
cided to reverse the order
and instead of narrating
would ask questions and
elicit answers from the
youngsters. All went
smoothly, and when the
tour was over, one of the
boys turned to him and
said: "Mr. Weeks, you
don't know anything about
the exhibition, do you?"
mainly in older patients.
Monday's implant was the
first in a relatively young
patient.
Dr. Tuvia Schlesinger of
the safety and radiation de-
partment of the Israeli Nu-
clear Energy Commission
said that the bearer of a nu-
clear pacemaker is safe from
radioactive rediation because
the alpha particles that
emerge from the plutonium
are absorbed in the solid
stainless steel outer envelope.
