partment. The figure is not
a record.
In the immediate post-
Six-Day War period, and in
the summer following, there
were more young people
under the auspices of the de-
partment. But it is the high-
est figure since then. About
half of the youngsters will
come from the United
States, the rest mainly from
Western Europe.
The programs offered are
as varied as the interests of
young people can be, says
Reuven Agmon, director of
the youth and halutz de-
partment. There are pro-
grams on archeo logy includ-
ing lectures and digs, and
others with time set aside
for work on a kibutz. Still
other involve educational
work in development towns
in which the visiting young
people coach local children
in math, English and other
school subjects where lack
of HebreAr will not be a bar-
rier to communication.
Another program involves
scouting and nature treks
from field schools around
the country, with time spent
too in Nahal army bases.
Many of the groups will
spend some time in Jeru-
salem, and here the de-
partment has organized a
"Jerusalem Program" —

Pounds, goes to the var-
ious organizations (youth
movements, synagogue
clubs, etc.) who may allo-
cate it as they think best
among the youngsters.
There are also frameworks
that cater to the individual
student who wants to come
to Israel but doesn't be-
long to an established or-
ganization. "He need only
contact any of our offices,
and he will be offered a
wide range of programs,"
Agmon said.
Among the problems that
Agmon must contend with
this year are:
• A growing reluctance
among some kibbutzim to
take youngsters for short
periods. "They just don't
have the work available,"
Agmon explains. Many kib-
butzim have been uprooting
apple trees (which used to
provide picking work during
the summer) and planting
more profitable crops which
are harvested earlier.
• A lack of reasonably-
priced hotels. During the
1971-72 tourist boom work
began of building luxury ho-
tels, most of which are now
completed, but the popular
class of tourism was neg-
lected, says Agmon.

TORONTO (JTA).— An
Ontario judge has been re-
buked by a higher court for
trying to force a Jewish
complainant in a civil suit to
waive the right of'appeal in
return for being granted an
adjournment over the Yom
Kippur holiday. Justice
Samuel Grange, of the Divi-
sion Court, ruled that it was
"quite improper" for County
Judge William Dubrule to
have acted as he did.
The case involves a suit
brought by Peter Kersen, a
Jewish businessman,
against the Steel Co. of Can-
ada and the Dodge Con-
struction Co. of Ontario for
$44,000 he claimed is owed
his company, Benoit & Ker-
sen Ltd. of Quebec.
When Kersen asked for
an adjournment to observe
Yom Kippur, Dubrule or-
dered him to pay a $3,000
penalty and waive his right
of appeal. Kersen agreed to
the penalty but refused to
give the waiver`. He was ab-
sent from court on Yom
Kippur, whereupon the
judge dismissed the case
and ordered Kersen to pay
$7,800 in costs.
The Division Court or-
dered a re-trial before a dif-
ferent judge.

• A preference by the
airline companies for full-
fare adult passengers to the
stude.it-fare youngsters.
With tourism picking up
again, this plays havoc with
the department's flying
schedules.

offering interesting and
enjoyable courses and vis-
its to places of interest in
the capital. The "Jeru-
salem Program;; focusses
on Jerusalem's geogra-
phy, its main public insti-
tutions and its archeologi-
cal treasures.
All the groups are encour-
aged, too, to visit absorption
centers and meet freely
with new immigrants and
absorption officials. They
are given advice as to how
their studies could lead to
jobs in Israel.
Most of the youngsters
will be coming in groups
organized by their youth
movements, community
centers, synagogues, etc.
Agmon notes that there has
been a substantial increase
in the number of commu-
nity center groups from the
U.S. and ascribes this to the
work of his department's
schlichim in the community
centers.
Agmon stresses a little-
known fact. The outlay by
his department is covered
tenfold — in hard currency
— by the fees paid by the
youngsters themselves. The
average price of a 43-day
program for an American
youngster is around $1000,
of which 60 percent is the
fare. For a European the
price is some $400 less.
The department's subsidy
for each youngster is about
$150. "We have found that if
the price goes above $1000,
parents become much less
keen to pay — hence our
subsidy," Agmon said.
