million citizens.
Marking the 20th an-
niversary of the establish-
ment of the first women's
police unit, Mrs. Ofira
Navon recently held a re-
ception at the Preisdent's
House where Nitzav Mis-
hne Naomi Shadmi, ex-
head of the women's police
unit recalled the initial
doubts.
These were not only
among the public, but also
in the police command, as to
whether or not women were
capable of carrying out all
the difficult and dangerous
jobs that are expected of
policemen.
No such doubts, how-
ever, are evident today,
she stated, with women in
the Israel Police better
utilized than in any force
in the world. "Manpower
(or womanpower) should
never be wasted," she
said, "especially in a
country like Israel."
Deputy Police Spokes-
woman of Jerusalem Cent-
ral Headquarters, Rivka
Weintraub, began her

that. I love my career, I get
enormous satisfaction from
it. Why should I give it up?".

Seminary Drive Chairman Named

nary maintenance cam-
paign.

bers of the Rabbinical As-

Israel Economy
Improved in '81
- NEW YORK — Israel
succeeded in reducing infla-
tion by 31 percentage points
last year while increasing
its gross national product,
boosting exports and rais-
ing productivity.
At the same time, unem-
ployment was kept down to
the 1980 level of 5 percent
and the civilian balance-
of-payMents deficit declined
by five percent, according to
a report by the Israel Eco-
nomic Mission in New York.
The December inflation
rate was 5.2 percent, bring-
ing the total for the year to
101.5 percent. the 1980 fig-
ure was 133 percent and the
inflation rate in 1979 was
111 percent.
The report also revealed
that the "consumption
basket" of goods and serv-
ices used by the poorest
tenth of the population r
by 90.7 percent — less th,_ /
the rate of inflation. In com-
parison, the goods and serv-
ices used by the wealthiest
10 percent of the population
went up by 106 percent.
This development reversed
the trend of recent years, in
which the impact of infla-
tion was felt more acutely
by the poor, the report said.
