Jerusalem — The Jewish Na-
tional Fund will create a "living
museum" on the site of the his-
toric Kevutzat Kinneret, which
spawned a new concept of rural
settlement, the kibbutz.
The undertaking, projected to
take three years, will recon-
struct a neglected area of di-
lapidated buildings, weeds and
boulders. In all, 17 buildings
will be restored, and a visitor's
center will be equipped with ex-
hibits and audio-visual pro-
grams to re-create the spirit of
the early years.
Caved-in terraces will be re-
furbished, and the JNF will
transport basalt rocks from the
Golan Heights to assist in re-
building several of the original
structures destroyed over the
years. Archeological remains of
the Roman city Sinabrius, built
on the foundations of a Second
Temple Israelite town, are also
part of the site.
Located 200 yards from the
Sea of Galilee near Tiberius,
from 1909 to 1921 Kevutzat
Kinneret played a central role
in the birth of the State of Is-
rael, the Israel Labor Party, and
the Israel Defense Forces. Kin-
neret ultimately collapsed under
the twin impact of World War I
and the lack of development
funds.

Douglas States
Library Love

Los Angeles — Actor Kirk
Douglas, presiding over the
reopening of a Hollywood branch
library destroyed four years ago
by fire, declared his love for lib-
raries "as the son of illiterate
immigrants."
"Libraries are the temple,
synagogue and the church of our
civilization and they should
mean everything to us," he said.
The new $3.2 million library was
donated by Samuel Goldwyn Jr.
in honor of his late mother.
