C, Thursday, December 15,1955 Number 50 Delegate From S. C. See* Israelis Preparing For Border Defense By CURTIS E. WALLACE, Ceanty (Editor’s Note: For the past five months, Curtis has been vis iting in Israel as a delegate in the International Farm Youth Exchange. Me will return to South Carolina December 16. Curtis will be available to give illustrated talks about his expe- periences. Any interested club group or organization who would like to hear him speak and show his colored slides should contact the local county extension agent or L. O. Clayton, state IFYE chairman, Clesnson. The Master 4-H Club is re sponsible for carrying on the IFYE program, which is design ed to promote world peace and better understanding among na tions, in South Carolina. The Clemeon Extension Service co operates in sponsoring and pro moting the program. No public funds are used — Miaster mem bers, business firms and inter ested organization provide need ed funds.) Lately .Israel has been making world-wide news. You have prob ably been reading about the bor der inddent between the Egyp tians from Gaza and the Israelis. This was also a concern to us JFYE’s, since Saad, which was the last settlement we visited, is a border settlement. (I say “we” be cause I’m including the other two IFYE delegates from the United States). We found what it was like to live in a kibbutz where the people were digging trenches, building bomb shelters, and having constant guard. These precautions were part of their daily life not be cause of being afraid but because of being sensible and practical. These people enjoyed telling us humorous tales about the War of Independence and about recent clashes with the Arabs. The whole nation has recently been giving money — pawning wedding rings and household silverware—fof de fense purposes. Kibbutz Saad gave a day’s earnings to buy arms. Saad, a religious kibbutz located in the nbrthem Negav or desert of Israel, was the last settlement we visited. This kibbutz is only six years old and was settled" mainly bV young people from South Amer ica. Besides the members of the kib butz, there were three groups of young people living here. First there was the Uipan group, which resembled a little Nnited Nations for six months. These young peo ple from the United States, Hol land, France and Algeria were working on the kibbutz half a day and studying Hebrew the rest of the day. The second, a scout group, con sisted of boys and girls from 16 to 16 years old. They were work ing and studying at the kibbutz during a two-year period just be fore entering the regular army at 16 years of age. The last group was the No’ar. These boys and girls — 13 to 19 years old—have a program similar to that of the scouts. They are also working and studying on the kib butz. Saad is organized very much the same as other kibbutzim in Israel. One thing that makes it different is that religion plays a significant part in everyday life. Everyone living at the kibbutz .were orthodox Jews. The notice able differences from other kib butzim were the daily prayers, kosher food, the men wearing hats, and a stricter observance of the Sabbath. As we three IFYE's neared the end of our stay in Israel, many things came to our minds. We have been fortunate to have lived in all types of settlements in Israel. There were kibbutz, religious kib butz, * moshav, and moshav-shitl- fu. We started from Galilee in the northwest and worked our way southward to the northern Negav. By working with these people, we learned much about their agriculture, home life, and social standards. We became ac quainted with people from all walks of life, all with the same purpose—to make Israel a home and a nation. Aside from working in agricul ture, we became better acquainted ith Israel by visiting research tions, educational institutes, water improvement projects, its three main cities—Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Jerusalem—and places of his torical and biblical background. We—and the Israelis probably— will long remember these four and one-halt months in Israel because of such things at the national elec tions, the Israeli plane shot down by Bulgaria, the Yorkon River pipeline to the northern Negav, the discovery of oil, the second year of a good crop of crop of Israel’s “white gold ’—cotton—and numer ous border incidents. We are now ready to return home with a greater kfibwledge and love of another land and its people. I definitely feel that this trip is worth all the hard work, time, and money contributed by people to make it possible. I want to thank all those who have con tributed to the program. When I return home, I hope I can bring a closer bond between Israel and the United States through my ex periences, talks, and slides. I want to urge the 4^H club members to strive for such a trip so that they too will realize the importance of the IFYE program and what it means to the world. When big nations realize that little countries, such as Israel, are made up of people and that hu man beings are not things to play with on the “world checker board” then we will be a step closer to world peace. On our way home, we will stop off in Europe. We plan to see some of Italy, Switzerland, Germany and France. I surely will be glad to get back to South Carolina. I. M.
