THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE
Pi|* Thm
PUTTING TWO AND TWO TOGETHER
Heletz Number Three
by Rinna Grossman
The war clouds gather and the
tension increases. All of the Mid
dle East seems about to explode,
and each day’s headlines become
more ominous than those of yes
terday. The stories date-lined Is
rael repeat the pattern of crisis
and forboding, and the world’s
press turns its attention upon
predictions of war and descrip
tions of heightened conflict.
But in Israel itself, the evening
papers can still spare space for
matters more constructive, and
perhaps even of greater impor
tance to the country as a whole.
The population here seems fur
ther from panic than do the cap
itals of the world and Israelis,
concerned, of course, about their
present, can fix their gaze also
upon the future.
Only a few days ago, all Israel
talked of something which bare
ly rated four lines of type else
where. Oil, with all its implica
tions, was again the topic of the

Convention.
moment — for a new well came
in.
It was an exciting and meaning
ful thing, and its significance for
the Jewish State permanent, per
mitting of optimism, and allowing
speculation of an earlier day and
better times.
The new well, named Heletz
Number Three came up in that
same field as the first historic
well which sent up oil last Sep
tember and now assures Israel
that at least one million tons of
oil can be produced yearly as
against her own domestic needs
of some one million two hundred
thousand tons. If the ten wells
which Swiss Geologist Tchopp
foresees as springing up on that
one square mile of Heletz come
in — and soon — then Israel’s
future industrial existence will be
radically altered, her greater in
dependence assured and her
standard of living raised substan
tially.
So the news mattered very
much in Israel and people repeat
ed the facts and figures like a
litany of their belief in what to
morrow might hold. And every
one reminded everyone else that
famous Geologist Tchopp is fa
mous also for his conservatism.
Other experts spoke in other
tones, their estimates even more
encouraging. One thing was clear
and beyond a shadow of doubt,
Israel lay well within that oil
coated crescent from which the
Arab countries have benefitted so
well for so long. Whatever the
final count, there was oil in Is
rael and oil would go far towards
solving many of the country’s
severest problems. No one wor
ried lpss or forgot even for those
moments of hopeful reverie of
what the present held, but the
future held sway for a while and
this, possibly, is one of the things
that most sharply distinguishes
Israel from her immediate neigh
bors and make her a nation that
can build and create and succeed
despite the odds.
