The Clemson Ex tension Service cooperates i n sponsoring and promoting the pro gram. No public funds are used— Master members, business firms, and interested organizations pro vide needed funds.) Lately Israel has been making world-wide news. You have prob ably been reading about the bor der incident between the Egpyt- ians from Gaza am<i the Israelis. This was also a concern to us FYEs, since Saad, which was the last settlement we visited is a border settlement. (I say “we” because I’m including the other IFYE delegates from the United States. We foundi what it was like to live in a kibbutz where the peo ple were digging trenches, build ing bomb shelters, and having constant guard. These precautions were part of their daily life not because of being afraid but b e - cause of being sensible and prac tical. 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—for de fense purposes. Kibbutz Saad gave a day’s earnings to buy arms. Saad, a religious kibbutz locat ed In the northern Negav or des ert of Israel, was the last settle ment we visited. This kibbutz is only six years old and was settled mainly by young people from South America. Besides the members of the kibutz, there were 3 groups of young people living here. First, there was the Uipan group, which resembled a little United 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 18 years old. They were working and studying at the kibbutz dur ing a two-year period just before entering the regular army at 18 years of age. The last group was the No’ar. These boys and girls 13 to 15 years old—have a program sim ilar to the scouts. They are also working and studying on the kib butz. - Saad is organized very much in Israel. One thing that makes it the same as was other kibbutzim 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, dosher food, the men wearing hats, and a stricter observance of the Sabbath. As we three IFYEs neared the end of our stay in Israel, many things came to our minds. We have ben fortunate to have lived in all types of setlements in Is rael. There were kibbutz, relig ious kibbutz, moshav. moshava, and moshav-shitifu. We started from Galilee in the northwest and worked out way southward to the northern Negav. By working with these people, we learned much a- bout their agriculture, home life, and social standards. We became acquainted 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 acquaint ed with Israel by visiting research stations, educational institutes, water improvement projects, its three main cities—Haifa, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem—and places of his torical Biblical background. We—and the Israelis probably— will long remember these four and one-half months in Israel be cause of such things as the nat ional elections, the Israeli plane shot down by Bulgaria, the York- on river pipeline to the northern Negav, the discovery of oil, the second year of a good crop of Israel’s “white gold — cotton — and numerous border incidents. We are now ready to return home with a greater knowledge and love of another land and its people. I definitely feel that this trip is worth all the hard work, time and money contribufed 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 that are human 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, Ger many, and France. I surely will he glad to get baek to South Car olina.
