Jerusalem — At an army camp
somewhere in Israel, dignitaries
and guests gather on the mani-
cured lawn for a ceremony award-
ing prizes to the neatest, most
beautiful military base. In a
Jerusalem school auditorium,
youngsters give a musical per-
formance about cleanliness in the
school and the city to visiting local
schoolchildren, and proudly re-
ceive citations for enhancing their
environment. In Ashkelon.
policemen arrive from all parts of.
the country to watch colleagues
receive awards for a well-kept sta-
tion. And at a presentation in Tel
Aviv, some 600 men and women
from Israel's world of industry
witness the distribution of stars
from an organization called CBI
to representatives of 165 fac-
tories.
CBI — the Council for a Beauti-
ful Israel — is the common de-
nominator in all these scenes. The
organization is Israel's watchdog
for aesthetics and cleanliness,
flowers and greenery, environ-
mental improvement and en-
vironmental self-help in just
about every area of life. Its slogan,
"Keep Israel Beautiful", promotes
a do-it-yourself campaign to pre-
serve and beautify the country's
natural and historic sites.
CBI sprang out of a 1970 Knes-
set debate stressing the need for
an organized effort to protect Is-
rael's environment. At the Knes-
set's request, Mrs. Aura Herzog,
then director-general of CBI,
mobilized some 60 prominent
town planners, architects, civic
leaders, educators, businessmen
and lawyers to make recommen-
dations for improving the quality
of life in the cities and promoting
environmental education prog-
rams among youth.
Fifteen years later, over half a
dozen regional chapters, scores of
volunteers and thousands of par-
ticipants in various projects attest
to CBI's success. Preserving Is-
rael's environment has become an
international cause, with CBI
chapters in the United States,
Switzerland, Great Britain and
Belgium actively supporting its
extensive program and new chap-
ters establishing themselves in
Holland and Germany. Mrs. Aura
Herzog, now Israel's First Lady,
serves as the Council's honorary
international president.

Moslem Sabbath
New York — The American
Jewish Congress wants New
York State Moslems and other
religious groups that do not ob-
serve Saturday or Sunday as
their Sabbath to have the right to
be excused from court proceed-
ings on their holy day. The Mos-
lem sabbath is Friday.
The new "Saturday Sabbath"
legislation which was passed by
the New York State legislature,
is awaiting Gov. Mario Cuomo's
signature.
