CHOLESTERHOLICS EAT
LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW
Cholesterholics love rich, fatty foods. They can't seem to get
through a day without lots of meat dripping in gravy. Cream
always goes into their coffee. One sweet dessert leads to
another. But the fact is, these foods can increase the level of
cholesterol in the blood which can lead to heart disease.

But there's a way to help yourself. By cutting down on the fatty
foods in your diet, you could reduce your blood cholesterol
level and perhaps reduce your chance of heart disease.
So if you think you might be a cholesterholic, contact your
American Heart Association for a diet good for life.

SOCIETY'
Israel Must Find
Work For Emigres
ELMER L. WINTER
Special to The Jewish. News
I
srael is faced with an
almost insurmountable
task — creating jobs for
tens of thousands of skilled
Soviet Jewish immigrants.
Try as they might, Israeli
companies cannot now pro-
vide a sufficient number of
jobs for the massive aliyah
from the Soviet Union. But
American Jews can help
create new jobs through in-
vestments, buying Israeli
goods and tourism.
Here's how you can make a
difference:
1. If you are a manufac-
turer, get answers from your
associates to these questions:
• Can we purchase certain
materials or parts from Israel
that we are presently buying
in other countries?
• Can we subcontract to
Israel some of the parts we
manufacture ourselves?
• Can we open a factory in
Israel — and thus enjoy 40
percent grants from the
government — and use Israel
to sell our products to either
the U.S. and/or Europe,
duty-free?
• Can we conduct R&D in
Israel using the 50 percent
grants offered by the
government?
• Can we take advantage of
Israel's scientific know-how to
develop software programs for
our company?
2. If you are a retailer, visit
Israel to determine whether
there are products that you
can market in your store —
apparel, food, wines, fur-
niture, toys, etc. Set up an
"Israel Week" and other
special promotions in your
store. Feature products carry-
ing the label, "Made in
Israel."
3. If you are a wholesaler or
importer, check with Israeli
manufacturers who are try-
ing to expand their sales into
the American marketplace.
4. If you are engaged in
research and development,
find an R&D program that
employs Israelis and Russians
by contacting the Chief Scien-
tist of Israel, 4 Hamatmid,
Jerusalem, or the Bi-National
Industrial Research and De-
velopment Fund, Israel
Economic Office, 350 Fifth
Avenue, New York, N.Y.

5. If you are a lawyer or ac-
countant, find out about the
many attractive incentives
and tax holidays Israel offers
to foreign investors. More
than 150 American com-
panies are successfully
operating facilities in Israel.
Why can't the company you
represent do the same?
6. If you are a stockbroker
or investment advisor, follow
the activities of the more
than 20 Israeli companies
whose stocks are being sold
on Wall Street, many of which
have done remarkably well
this year. Consider joining
with friends in founding an
Israel Investment Club.
7. If you are a member of a
synagogue or fraternal order,
organize a "Made in Israel"
fair.
8. If you participate in the
work of your local Jewish
federation, suggest the laun-
Israeli companies
cannot now
provide sufficient
jobs for the
massive Soviet
aliyah. American
Jews can help
create new jobs
through
investments.
ching of an Israel Economic
Development Task Force that
will study the possibility of
buying Israeli products, in-
vesting in Israeli enterprises
or conducting R&D in Israel.
Some further suggestions:
1. Plan to visit Israel in the
near future. Take your order
book with you if you are in a
position to buy products made
in Israel.
2. Step up your contribu-
tions to your local federation
and increase your bond pur-
chases. And pay up your
pledges now Israel needs cash
to offset the high cost of ab-
sorbing Soviet Jews.
3. Appoint yourself a one-
person PR representative for
Israel. Listen to the call-in
shows on radio and TV. Make
your case for Israel, forcibly
and to the point.
4. Answer negative letters
to newspaper editors. Let the
readers of your local
newspapers get Israel's side of
the story.
This is a critical time for all
of us to roll up our sleeves and
do everything that we
possibly can to expand
Israel's economy and defend
its political position. ❑
