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.

Before the advent of antibiotics
the dreaded disease, which at
tacks tlie nervous system of birds,
took an annual toll of up to 25,000:
victims.
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.

The shape of the washbowls has
not escaped change either. Manu

In the more elegant bathrooms,
the inside of the washbowl is sten

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

is filled.

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

should be smooth or a ridge will.which doesn't dry out as putty
show through the new linish
In extremely difficult cases, es
pecially where large areas are in
volved, the paint is burned off.
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.

oil over the exposed wood. Apply

Check around window sash,
doors and other joints to see if
new calking is needed. Again,
scrape out broken calking bclore
