el agent, is employed there on a part-time basis. Both she and her fiance like working together, although she says with a laugh that she does more of the work. They met when Ms. Cooper began work- ing at Quik Text three years ago. Ms. Cooper explained that TravelNet will focus less on the airline companies, which already advertise online, and more on places to go, including golf cours- es and ski resorts. The company would like to go after some tourist sites in Michi- gan that the casual traveler might not know about, like a bed and breakfast in Saugatuck and oth- er weekend getaways. "We want to put in information like population and things to do. This could be used for research, too," she adds. ❑ d I o , • c R F. a .....4,Pg, A T E - • ..,,, ,,„„..

(Israel) is ex- pected to grow despite the parent company's plan to cut 1,700 jobs from its manufactur- ing centers in the United States and Europe, Chief Financial Of- ficer Richard Grubb said. Three hundred of the jobs which the developer and manu- facturer of electronic resistors and resistive sensors plans to cut will be transferred to Vishay's four Israel-based factories, re- sulting in net cuts of 1,300 jobs and $24 million in annual sav- ings, Mr. Grubb said. The Pennsylvania-based com- pany plans to transfer some of these jobs to its fifth plant in Is- rael, which is expected to open in Ofakim in about a year's time. Company officials estimate that the Ofakim site, which has yet to receive official government approval, will employ between 300 and 350 workers.
