6 - The Journal, Thursda), May 22. 197;
There is a small troubled
country in the Mideast that
has for its borders the
Mediterranean Sea on one side
and the Arab nations on all
other sides. Israel can be
considered as very small since
one could drive across it in an
hour and a modern jet could fly
the length of Israel in a few
minutes.
The figures and distances I
quote may not be accurate but
one thing I am sure about is
the determination the Jewish
people have to hold it for their
home land.
Doyle Parrack, one of our
Perkins neighbors and his
family visited the birth place of
Christ in 1972 and Doyle
returned for a one-month
period in 1974.
In 1972 he stayed for eight
months and was hired by a
club system there to prepare a
national basketball team for
the Olympics and to promote
basketball clinics in a country
where soccer is the national
sport.
Soccer is played by both
boys and girls in Israel and,
because of lack of other sports,
most of the time the stadiums
are filled when fixst.rate

impression all Americans are
cowboys.
Very few of the homes have
rugs, and such frills as electric
can openers, dish washers,
and other conveniences are
seldom seen in a Jewish
household.
All men serve three years in
the army and women serve two
years. The women, like the

Local Club
President Patsy Lile was our
hostess this month. She
brought us to order and we
answered roll call by telling of
problems we had canning.
One problem mentioned was
jar lids not sealing. It was
brought out that these lids
were plastic lined instead of
rubber. So instead of boiling
lids, just rinse them.
Any lids left over from the
package should be stored in an
air tight container because
they will dry out.
Our lesson this month was
about canning presented by
Ethel Edmendson.
We had a visitor this month,
