Bathing Safety For The Entire Family. More than 5,000 children are scalded by hot water in the tub each year, according to the National Safe Kids Campaign, prompting manufacturers to respond with several engineering breakthroughs. One innovation from Grohe is Grohmix, a thermostatic valve for showers and tubs that allows you to preset the temperature anywhere between 60 and 110 degrees. A safety stop set at 100 degrees pre- vents children from accidentally scalding themselves. The Grohmix also is a pressure balancing valve, which prevents temperature shocks from sudden pressure changes in cold or hot water. Whether a toilet is flushed or dishwasher turned on, your shower is never interrupted. Almost all 50 states now require that these types of safety valves by used in all new con- struction.

B'nai B'rith will provide con- sulting and marketing assistance to New England Funds, the Boston-based distributor of the Growth Fund of Israel, helping it to reach the Jewish community. B'nai B'rith counts 500,000 mem- bers and affiliates in 55 countries, including the United States. Burton Lazarow, associate vice president of B'nai B'rith, said the organization's involvement with New England Investment Com- panies, L.P., the fund's sponsor, began when the company offered annuity funds to B'nai B'rith members. "That led to the offering of mutual funds to our membership. We then asked them to fund the Growth Fund of Israel. The rea- son B'nai B'rith promoted the Israel fund had to do with the messages we got from the State of Israel, which suggested Israel was looking for investment in Is- rael and participation in economic development. We looked around and saw that no organization seemed to be responding to Israel's call for investment," Mr. Lazarow said. "We wouldn't support it if we didn't believe it was good for Is- rael," he added. "We see this as a philosophical as well as econom- ic commitment. Like any over- seas market, it has its risks - maybe Israel, more so in many ways -but for people interested in putting their money in invest- ments, this presents a better op- portunity than most." B'nai B'rith will receive a por- tion of sales commissions amounting to about $100,000 an- nually, he said. The new fund, which will be ef- fective Dec. 29, will invest at least 65 percent of its assets in equi- ties that are issued in Israel or derive most of their revenue in Israel. tel Aviv-based Batucha Securities, which has more than $500 million of assets under man- agement, will serve as the eco- nomic and market sub-advisor for the fund. Adam Schor and David Herro, of Chicago-based Harris Associ- ates, will co-manage the Growth Fund. Lawrence Dwyer, New Eng- land Funds' senior vice president of corporate communications, said money will be accepted from investors in mid-January. New England Funds are spon- sored by New England Invest- ment Companies, L.P., which has approximately $75 million in as- sets under management. Investors may turn in their Israel Bonds for shares of the fund or buy directly. There are more than 8,000 funds worldwide currently on the market. ❑ 9€0-1235 LEADING ISRAELI STOCKS TRADED ON U.S. EXCHANGES FREE Comfortable all-leather slip-on from Mezlan.
