ISRAELI T-rz : .....j.. WIuT Nafons Of Word: Sunday. June 16, Tiny Nation Of Israel In Readiness To Face Irate Middle East Neighbors JERUSALEM (UPli-Israel i so small that usually only the largest scale maps print its name within its own borders. It has an area or only 8,000 square miles, about the site of the state of New Jersey. There are 2.250 million people! in Israel of whom some 2 million are Jews, representing about onc-j sixth of all the Jews in the world. The rest of the population con sists of 150.000 Moslem Arabs, 50,000 Christian Arabs and a sep arate Arabic-speaking religious sect, the Druses, whose 20,000 adherents are concentrated in a few villages in the north. The slate of Israel was created officially by a United Nations assembly resolution in 1947 which assigned it about one-fifth of the former mandated territory of Palestine. The remainder belongs to the Hashemite kingdom of Jordan. Soon after its creation Israel tound itself in conflict with ilsl Arab neighbors. This state of wa: technically exists even today. Thusl Israel has the Mediterranean at its back and facing it along Its entire 591 miles of land border are its Arab opponents Lebanon and Syria on the north, Jordan on the cast and Egypt on the south. As a result Israel Is always In a state ol readiness. It can mo bilize the nation within 48 hours and it has one of the tew armies in the world in which women actu-! ally train for duties in the com bat .one. This necessity to be on guard has its rercussions in agriculture where some of the collective farms or "kibbutzim" have their own defense forces. Workers in the fields may have their weapons within easy reach. Israel is a tiny country but it does not lack variety. It is only four hours by automobile from the green, fertile Sharon coastal plane between the two largest cities, Tel Aviv and Haifa, to the desolate and barren wilderness of the Dead Sea, the lowest point on the surface of the earth 1 1290 feet below sca-levcli. There are only two seasons a year in Israel w inter and sum mer. All the rain falls in the winter, between October and April. Tile north is wetter than the south 140 inches of rain in in a year at Eilat on the Red Sea'. Most of Israel's Jews are immi grants. They have come trora more than 50 different countries but they are divided roughly into two ethnic categories, Ashkena zim and Sephardim. The Sephardim are descendants of those Jews who settled in Spain and Portugal after the de struction of the second temple in 70 A.D. The Spanish Inquisition in 1492 dispersed most of them to North Africa. Southeast and Asia Minor. The Ashkenazim are descended from the exiles wlto settled Northern and Eastern Europe. The term includes Jews living in norLh and South America, South Africa and Western Europe. Many of the immigrants have been transformed into farmers. But the great majority of them have been absorbed into the coun try's growing industrial economy. upper Galilee down to one inch!

Many hunters are unable to identity the various species of birds as they rise under tlie shoot er's gun and occasionally some of those on the protected list arc shot, "Most species of ducks iso late themselves in certain areas.

Tlie ducks are captured af ter they enter wire mesh hold ing pens, located at various places throughout the refuge, to indulge themselves on grain placed in side. The birds enter the pens through a funnel shaped entrance and have too little moxcy to find their way out, Banding geese requires the serv ices of an individual with some of the attributes of a track man In addition to the shiftiness of a chaser of butterflies.

Botulism has been traced to bacteria unique to highly alkaline soils which thrives in waters of low- oxygen and high temperatures. It kills waterfowl by destroying their nervous system. In the early days, the disease was commonly known as limber neck because in ad vanced cases ducks, unable to control their neck muscles, would drop uieir hearts into tlie water upon which they were floating and eventually drown. Since tlie inception of antibiotics there has been an amazing 92 per cent recovery rale of water fowl stricken by botulism, hut the project of injecting S ccs of peni cillin into nearly 10,000 birds keeps lour employes at the local bureau working almost incessantly throughout the summer.

Manu facturers arc turning them out in circles, ovals, rectangles and squares. In the more elegant bathrooms, the inside of the washbowl is sten ciled with a gold design. Other features include built-in soap ledges tucked underneath tlie inner run of the washbowl. The ledges are, just above the water line. The soap remains in this "dry dock" even when the bowl is filled. Not so long ago, most of tlie elaborate fixtures seen in n e w homes had to be custom made.

UPI Telephoto Proper Painting Needs Preparation By MR. FIX Newspaper Enterprise Assn. It's a truism that any paint job is only as good as the prepara tion fur it. But while most people I accept the theory, they follow the, practice of simply selling up' ladders and painting away the first pleasant day that comes along. Since ideal painting weather may not always occur when the homeowner has the time to do the job. it's understandable that many preliminary steps are skipped. Try to get the preparation done well ahead of time. L'nlike paint ing, preparation can be done an hour or so at a lime over a long period. Loose, peeling or blistered paint should be removed. Scrape or ;and off the old finish. A putty knife or scraper will remove loose paint. Watch for accumulated dirt and remove this as well. A wire brush will also come in handy Feather Edges Defective paint that is not loose enough for a scraper can be re moved with rough sandpaper. Fea ther edges wherever you remove paint.

This is done with a blow torch or with a special device that com bines the features of an electric iron and a scraper. Since the danger of fire is great for the inexperienced person, bet ter leave burning to the experts. Let Harden Iook for cracks and nail holes. Fill them with wood putty and sand smooth. Tliey should have plenty of time to harden before painting. Check windows for loose or miss ing putty. Scrape out thoroughly. then brush on a coat of linseed oil over the exposed wood.
