Detection of Poisoned Food Simplified by Haifa U. Prof. HAIFA — Researchers in the physiological psychol- ogy laboratories at the Uni- versity of Haifa have de- veloped a new process for detecting the source of foods that have been contami- nated with poison. The process, developed by Prof. Barry Berger, makes use of well-known princi- ples of behavioral psychol- ogy that relate to humans as well as to animals. The test is based upon the phenom- enon of taste aversion and laboratory animals are used to indicate exactly which food substance has been contaminated. Prof. Berger became in- terested in this subject fol- lowing the mysterious mass food poisoning of a few dozen students in June 1982. In that instance, stu- dents in the cafeteria had all received coffee from the same urn. What bothered Prof. Berger, and other University of Haifa resear- chers, was the three-day delay in discovering the poison's source.

Olim Volunteers Build Defenses JERUSALEM (JTA) — Several hundred new im- migrants have spent the last few weeks helping the army build and maintain fortifications in the Jordan Valley. The World Zionist Organization's aliya de- partment called the project a great success. It is strictly voluntary and, according to the WZO, contributed toward the newcomers' speedy absorp- tion and integration into Is- raeli life. It also changed the soldiers' stereotypical image of new olim in addi- tion to reducing the time served by reservists and contributing to defense. Are you affected by A RETURN TO JEWISH ROOTS?

When a sam- ple of contaminated food is presented a second time the animal will re- fuse to eat it. To continue its research the university has ap- proached the National Council for Research and Development for funding. According to Prof. Berger additional work must be done to determine which foods naturally trigger taste aversion in rats and exactly how much of a given poison is needed to trigger taste aversion. the guest speaker.
