61 Pct. of Arabs
Reported Illiterate
The Histadrut Scholarship Fund
was established in 1957 to provide
scholarships for children of -
underprivileged families in Israel. The
Fund has granted over 50,000
academic and vocational scholarships
in this period.
Since Israeli families coming from
Afro-Asian countries are generally the
neediest, the bulk of the grants are
made to them. Histadrut makes a
special effort to encourage children of
Oriental backgrounds to continue their
education, as this is the first step
toward closing the social gap within
the nation
A new IL 1.85 stamp hon-
oring the 70th anniversary
of the Bezalel Academy of
Arts and Design in Jerusa-
lem will be issued in Febru-
ary by the Philatelic Serv-
ices department of the
Israel Ministry of Commun-
ications.
The multicolored stamp is
photolithographed with
phosphor to heighten the
colors and image.
Although the population of
development towns is smaller than
that of the urban centers, the
proportion of scholarships to children
outside the large cities is greater, to
compensate for the scarcity of
opportunities in the rural areas. New
Amal schools are being established in
the countryside to facilitate
attendance.
The Arab Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Or-
ganization, comprised of 16
member-states, convened in
Cairo the first week of Janu-
ary for a review of past
progress and suggestions
for new goals. Education
ministers at the conference
called for a general Arab
strategy to combat illiter-
acy.
Statistics taken in 1971
indicate that 61 percent of
all Arabs from the age of 10
are illiterate, most of them
female, and that from
1965-71, the absolute num-
ber of illiterates rose despite
a drop in their relative pro-
portion.

plan for 150 new agricul-
tural settlements in the
Negev region is being
worked out by the Agricul-
ture Ministry. The settle-
ment of this area, which is

`Israel Can Make
Its Own Uranium'
NEW YORK — Israel
could produce 100 to 150
tons of uranium annually,
enough to fuel four power
stations, according to Prof.
Shimon Yiftah of the de-
partment of nuclear engi-
neering at the Technion —
Israel Institute of Technol-
ogy.
Prof. Yiftah, who is also
the president of the Israel
Nuclear Sciences Society,
explained that every ton of
phosphates from the Negev
phosphate deposits contains
100 to 200 grams ( 1/4 to 1/2 a
pound) of uranium, which
could be extracted as a by-
product of phosphoric acid.
Some men increase wis-
dom to their benefit — oth-
ers to their loss.
