JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Two Nahal (para-
military) settlements in
the Jordan Valley will go
civilian next month,
further strengthening
the Jewish presence in
that region.
Israel Keren, deputy
director of the Jerusalem
region of the World
Zionist Organization's
settlement department
said that plans call for the
intensive cultivation of a
variety of crops intended
mainly for the European
export market.
The settlements are
Nahal Naaran and
Mitzpe Shalem. They are
located in an area that
grows melons, peppers,
tomatoes, eggplant and
corn. The mild weather in
the Jordan Valley allows
these crops to ripen early
and they can be shipped
to Western Europe before
similar crops from other
countries hit the market,
Keren said.
The Jordan Valley is not
entirely dependent on ag-
riculture. The settlement
department is also work-
ing on plans for tourism
projects and perhaps even
some form of light indus-
try, especially for the
summer months when ag-
riculture and tourism are
weak.
As far as agriculture is
concerned, one of the
main problems in the
area is water. In the Fat-
z ael region, north of
Jericho, a water demand
of seven million cubic
meters is forecast but a
supply of only six million
cubic meters is presently
available.
The settlement de-
partment, in conjunction
with the Volcanic Insti-
tute of Agricultural Re-
search in Rehovot has
tried to raise fish in salt
water in the Feshha
Springs near the Dead
Sea.
Similar experiments
are being conducted to
grow fodder for cows and
vegetables.
Whoever speaks gossip, or
listens to gossip, and
whoever testifies as a false
witness deserves to be
thrown before the dogs.

women accounted for as
much as 89 per cent of the

In the 7-14 age bracket,
86 per cent of the boys and
83 per cent of the girls

another.
