Independence Celebrations Planned
•
JERUSALEM (JTA)—
While the public debate
rages over the govern-
ment's plan to hold a mili-
tary parade as the focus of
Israel's 30th Independence
Day celebrations, a com-
mittee of World Zionist Or-
ganization Executive mem-
bers chaired by Avraham
Shenker is quietly planning
ways of marking the event
throughout the Jewish
world.
Shenker, chairman of the
WZO's Organization and In-
formation Department says
it is still premature to
speak of specifics--espe-
cially since his committee
has not yet discussed its
ideas with representatives
of the government.
(Cabinet secretary Aryeh
Naor has been appointed by
Premier Menachem Begin
"coordinator" of Independ-
ence Day preparations. The
issue is scheduled for dis-
cussion at the first meeting
of the government-WZO
joint board which Begin haS
pledged will meet regularly
every two months.)
In general terms, Shen-
ker outlined the following
ideas that have been
mooted:
• The opening of the 29th
Zionist. Congress, slated for
Feb. 20, 1978, will serve as
the official opening of Is-
rael's 30th anniver§ary cele-
brations both in the country
and around the world.
• Coincidentally with , the
Zionist Congress, a world
Jewish identity event would
be organized, with all the
major Jewish organizations
participating. Begin asked

TEL AVIV—As the world
becomes increasinglypopu-
lated and -fears . of in-
adequacies of food and liv-
ing space for the growing
world population. abound, .
the prospect of being able_
to alter a desert climate is
an intriguing thought. A re-
search project undertaken
by Tel Aviv University sci-
entists transformed a spar-
sely-vegetated 'area of the
Northern Sinai desert into
an area of natural' vegeta-
tion within three years.
The desert vegetation had

These "solidarity groups"
would be invited to the Zion-
ist Congress public ses-
sions.
• Travelling caravans Pur-
veying the message of Is-
rael and Zionism would be
sent out to some 150 Jewish
communities throughout the
world. The caravans would
be rented in the various
countries, and they would
be manned by singers, danc-
ers, scholars, speakers, and
the latest in audio-visual
aids.
They would head for me-
dium and small-size commu-
nities and would spread the •
word in the languages of
the target communities.
• Parallel to the Zionist
Congress, but not neces-
sarily simultaneously, a
world congress of Jewish
youth would be held in Je-
rusalem. Communal and
synagogue .bodies worldwide
would be expected to cover
the cost of sending young
delegates to this congress.
• An international quiz,
along the lines of the tradi-
tional Independence Day
Bible Quiz, on the subject
of "One Hundred Years of
Aliya and Hityashvut" (set-
tlement), to coincide with
the centenary next year of
Petah Tikva, the first Jew-
ish agricultural settlement
will be held..

ouin flocks add became bar-
ren, but by fencing off an
area of 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 kilome-
ters, the scientists were
able to analyze the climatic
changes that take place
when over-grazing does not
occur. A report on the proj-
ect was presented to the In-
ternational Conference on
Space Research last month
by Prof; Joseph Otterman
of Tel Aviv University.
On April 26, 1977, the U.S.
LANDSAT satellite de-
viated slightly from its regu-
lar orbit in order to photo-
gaph the fenced area in
Sinai, and the first photo-
aphs' from this mission
ve already been re-
- ceived. They indicate a
dark patch , in the formerly
light area, which demon-
strates the restoration of ve-
getation. The numerical
data_ still being prepared
and f. ro Otterman is ana-
lyzing it this summer in the
United States.
"This -rapid change,"
says Prof. Otterman, "high-
lights the fact that to re-
store vegetation in Sinai
and possibly achieve a
change in climate, fendng
will be required." -
Explaining the climatic
change, Prof. Otterman
said, "The restoration of
natural vegetation to an
area depends on the extent
that the ground heats the at-
mosphere, because an area
covered with vegetation ab-
sorbs heat and gives off
heat in the atmosphere
which creates rain clouds,
while an unvegetated -area
reflects the sun rays, does
not absorb the heat, and
thus does not cause rain-
fall."

WZO must act as an encour-
aging factor in precipi-
tating this.
