Only In Israel
HAIFA—A few threads pluck
ed from that magnificent tapes
try which is called Israel:
What’s in a Name? Israel’s
population regist e r now

shows that there are 52,-
500 persons in the country
bearing the family name of
Cohen, and • 44,100 with the
name of Levy.
Pickets, Israel Style. Tourists
at Lydda airport not long ago
were disturbed to see several
young people parading up and
down in front of the Arrivals
Building bearing a large pla
card. But their concern turned
into smiles when they read the
text of the sign: “Welcome,
Mom and Dad, to our glorious
country!”
A Woman of Valour. The
Ashdod City Council, ga
thered for an important
meeting, was one short of a
quorum. A quick call went
out to one of the absent
members, a woman, and she
came at once As soon as her
presence was recorded and
the meeting opened she rose
to leave. She explained that
she had to rush home to take
a cake out of the oven, and
to do her Shabbat shopping.
Problems! Problems! The Israel
Institute for Applied Special
Research, in a recent survey to
ascertain the state of public
morale in the light of present
national tensions, asked: “What
Photographd at the Edwin I. Hatch
Nuclear Plant, near Baxley
It’s a big, expensive job,
bringing you electricity.
Right now, hundreds of men are at work building
two giant new plants and enlarging a third. They’re
readying them to supply you with plenty of electricity
in the years to come.
The 1970’s will see a need for electric power
unmatched in any previous decade. To meet this
need, we’ve budgeted a million dollars nearly every
day just for construction.
One important reason our building budget is so
high is because we care about the environment
Enough to have spent more than $ 11 million on clean
air equipment through 1970. And by 1977 we’ll
have spent better than $59 million to protect both
air and water quality.
At Georgia Power, we feel we have a double
commitment. Because man depends on electricity.
And on a clean environment

A citizen wherever we serve*
worries you the most?” To
which one woman scrawled the
following reply: “No matter
what I do I can’t get my child
to drink milk.” And as an after
thought she added: “Maybe you
can help.”
Who Said It First? Israelis
have thought that the slogan
“Follow Me” was the hall
mark of their army officers.
Most recently it was pointed
out that the U. S. Marines
have used the phrase for
years. But it remained for
Knesset member, Rabbi M.
Neria to quote from the
Bible (Judges 3:28) the
story of Ehud Ben Gera,
who summoned the Children
of Israel to face their ene
mies with these words:
“Follow after me; for the
Lord hath delivered your
enemies the Moabites into
our hand.”
Is a College Degree Necessary?
The Israel tax system is ingeni
ously devised to convert the
haves into have-nots, and vice
versa. A distinguished Israeli
professor with an international
reputation, by virtue of special
connections and friendships was
able to acquire a tax status as
a longshoreman. This entitled
him to a preferential tax rate
of only 17% on overtime pay,
instead of the usual rate of
about 30%.
The Customer is Always
Right. Harold Frankel of
Jerusalem complained in the
press that the bus service
to the Western Wall is in
adequate, with a bus only
four times an hour. Egged
replied that he was right,
and thereafter buses will
leave every fifteen min
utes!
They Saw’ Eye to Eye. Nohad
Farass, a 19-year-old Druze
youth, from the village of Hur-
feish, was rejected for service
with the Israel army on medical
grounds. He protested and ap
pealed to Moshe Dayan, confi
dent that the latter would un
derstand and help. Dayan in
vestigated, and arranged for the
boy to be accepted by the army
when he learned that the med
ical infirmity was: Loss of sight
in one eye from a childhood ac
cident!
A Minor Detail. Presenta
tion of Hadassah's Henriet
ta Szold Award to President
Zalman Shazar in Jerusa
lem was a great occasion.
There were speeches and
congratulations and bless
ings galore, and the audi
ence was in a festive mood
when the meeting ended
and everybody went home.
In the excitement they for
got only one thing: pres
entation of the cheque for
$1,000 which goes with the
award. The good ladies of
Hadassah brought it around
to the President’s home the
next day. 4*
