Rabbi Kollin a Good Scout
30 Finns Link Destiny With Israel
As a boy, Gilbert Kollin
was a member of Scout Troop
236 in Brooklyn, but he never
attended a national or world
scout jamboree.
Not until 1903, when he
was stationed in Turkey as
an air force chaplain and
went to Greece for the inter-
national jamboree.
When the next world jam-
boree was held in 1967 in
Idaho, he was serving as rab-
bi in Spokane. His proximity
to the camp and his personal
.:oterest made it only logical
for him to be. chosen chap-
lain-general. He returned to
the 1969 rrl'i.cnal jamboree
in the same post.
This year, Rabbi Kollin, of
Ceng. Beth Israel, returned
'arragut State Park, Ida-
as Jewish chaplain-gen-
eral for the boy scout jab-_
boree.
His chief duties are to see
that kosher food is provided
for boys who have requested
it and to direct Jewish wor-
ship services. Devotions are
conducted at 7 a.m. daily and
on Friday evening and Sat-
urday morning.

By ISRAEL HAREL
JERUSALEM — In winter
1942-43, several thousand
Jews fled Germany and
other Nazi-occupied countries
to Finland and found refuge
there, despite the favorable
sentiments which Germany
enjoyed in that country.
The Germans demanded
that the Jews be expelled
and the gates of the land
closed to them; after strong
pressure, the Helsinki gov-
ernment yielded and handed
over Jews to the Nazis. Only
one survived.
On a hillock near Neve
Ilan 30-Gentiles-Finns live in
sheds which they had built
with their own hands, out of
Finnish wood. They are wait-
ing for approval to establish
a cooperative moshav, to be
named Yad Ha-Shemona - a
memorial to the matyrs.
Safo Raolo, a 42-year-old
farmer, is the leader of the
group. Sharp features, deep-
set eyes, slow Hebrew
speech. He had visted Israel
in 1964 as a tourist and
worked three months in Ki-
butz Kiryat Anavim. He fell
in love with the land and its
people and returned a year
later — this time for five
years, which he spent in Kir-
yat Anavim and nearby Ma'-
aleh Hahamisha.
Other Christian Finns came
some of them went back,
others threw their lot in with
Israel and decided to set up
a settlement of their own.
In 1968 the initiators were
living in Gevim, in northern
Negev. Later they were of-
fered a hillock between Ma'.
aleh Hahamisha and Neve
Ilan for cooperative settle-
ment, which they intend set-
ting up out of their own
means. They liked the hillock
and soon began the back-and-
forth shuttle between archi-
tects and economic planners.
Although the government
still has not authorized a co-
operative settlement, the min-
istry of tourism has agreed
to the construction of a tour-
ist guest house as an ap-
proved enterprise ( about
2,000 Finns visit. Israel each
week, on special flights).
The hillock has no build-
ings. In 1971, the Finns
asked the group of new im-
migrants settled in Neve Ilan
to accommondate them, and
they were welcomed. They
were given a corner of the
settlement for a year. They
ordered sheds from Finland
and didn't overlook a sauna
either. They furnished the
sheds with their own hands.
When their neighbors and
other vistors saw the kind of
cabinets they were turning
out, they began flooding the
Finns with orders for furn-
iture. Thus, inadvertently,
carpentry became their main
source of income.
The year's welcome grew
into three. At the end of this
month the Finns will evacu-
ate the premises, as they had
promised, but the govern-
b'Av, a special service was
held to commemorate the de-
struction of the Temple in
Jerusalem. A troop of Israeli
scouts took part in the serv-
ice, and slides of the Nazi
massacre were shown.
At the 1967 international
jamboree, Rabbi Kollin was
responsible f o r pro7iding
kosher food for about 100
Moslems and for Indians who
wished to follow a meatless
diet.

CONFIDETIALLRY„. YOURS
The hair you pluck will come back to haunt
you. Before you tweeze agin., remember this I
Q uotation from one of the foremost medical I
authorities on the subject of human hair:
"Plucking out strong hairs should never be
advised." Why not? Because the long term
I
penalties for continued plucking can
be so
, severe:
1. You may stimulate
the
growth of additional hairs
around the one you pull
out.
2. You may cause succes-
sive generations of hair from
the abused follicle to grow
coarser, longer, darker.
3. You may cause skin irri-
tations, pits, scars.
4. You may make eventual
permanent removal slower
and costlier by pulling the
root • and
follicle
out
of
place.
Such risks ore needless
-
now
that
Air-cooled

Stream Electrolysis is avail-
able to you. This is the first
method of permanent hair
removal with everything to
commend it. Air-cooled Jet
Stream is faster, more com-
fortable.
- Electrolysis is the
only
medically approved method
to remove hair permanently.

I asked the parents if it I
mattered that, to all intents
and purposes, their children
were being raised as Jews.
Berti Salo, secretary of the
group answered: "No, it
doesn't matter. If they would
want to be Jews as a matter
of free choice, let them be
Jews. The moment we bound
ourselves to Israel we iden-
tified with it for better or
for worse. We didn't come
to establish a 'Finnish col-
ony' in Israel."
Safo Raolo said, "Identifi-
cation with the state raises
another question. We are
temporary residents, and we
want to be full-fledged citi-
zens and serve in the army."
Most of them are crafts-
men: carpenters, masons,
farmers, nurses, bookkeep-
ers. "Their uniqueness," says
one of their neighbors at Neve
Ilan, "is that there is some-
thing basic and radical in
the quest of these simple and
honest folk for perfection and
a meaningful life."

Researcher Studies Viruses in Cancer
REHOVOT—Vital research
on the role of viruses in the
induction of concer will be fa-
cilated by a $230,000,' three-
year grant received by Prof.
Ernest Winocour of the Weiz-
mann Institute's genetics de-
partment from the National
Cancer Institute, which forms
part of the U.S. National In-
stitutes of Health.
Prof. Winocour has focused
his research on the ways in
which viral genes are incor-
porated into the genetic ap-
paratus of the cell, causing
the transformation of normal
cells into cancer cells. But
these same viruses also may
alter the hereditary makeup
of cells without causing can-
cer. Prof. Winocour believes
it may be possible to exploit
these viruses for the correc-
tion of certain genetic de-
fects.

Kiryat Arba Settlers
Complain to Sapir
JERUSALEM (JTA)—The
settlers of Kiryat Arba, the
Jewish quarter in Hebron,
complained to Finance Min-
ister Pinhas Sapir about the
slow rate of development of
their settlement.
The settlers' complaint was
expressed during Sapir's first
visit to Kiryat Arba.
The visit had a political
significance against the
background of Sapir's reser-
vations about the establish-
ment of the quarter and the
speed of its development.
During the visit, Sapir told
the settlers that everything
he had promised them had
been carried out, adding that
his ministry would see to it
that they received the
money promised for building
industries and roads.
