"We see it as a new meat source," says Dr. Dan Ratner, director of the Animal Research In- stitute here on Kibutz Lahav in the Negev Des- ert. "The yaez tastes neither like the goat nor the ibex, both of which have strong, distinctive flavors. It is a neutral, low fat, delicate meat that is highly versatile. In some ways it might be compared with veal." Until now, the herd has been too small to exploit commercially, numbering 230 head, with about 200 kids on the way. Eventu- ally, Ratner expects to ex- port yaez meat to Europe and the United States. The Israeli project is not the first attempt to cross the ibex with the goat. There were experiments in Swit- zerland at the turn of the century, but those animals have since died out. An- other experiment was con- ducted in the Soviet Union about 30 years ago. Its find- ings were never published. Dr. Ratner received his first three yaezim in 1972 from the experimental zoo in Tel Aviv. The zoo wanted to find out if there was a commercial future in breed- ing them as farm animals. Now, 11 years later, with the help of hundreds of thousands of dollars in in- ternational research grants, funds from the kibutz itself and Israel Ministry of Agriculture loans, the yaez project is fi- nally ready to go commer- cial.

She was 94 years old. Mrs. Dolowitz came to the United States from Lithuania at the age of nine. She settled with relatives in Shenandoah, Pa., moving to New York City to attend school. She graduated from Hunter College in 1910. She later taught mathematics in the city schools. While working with the Davison Society, a group dedicated to helping work- ing people prepare for col- lege entrance examina- tions, Mrs. Dolowitz met members of the World ORT Union, which provided equipment and training to help less developed areas of Europe. Convinced that women should play a role in the organization, she called a meeting in 1927 that led to the establishment of Women's American ORT, an auxiliary to the international. Mrs. Dolowitz served as president of the auxiliary from 1932 to 1937. She con- tinued to serve on the executive committee and as honorary president until her death.
