LOCAL INSURANCE AGENT IS
HONORED BY HIS COMPANY
Ben Kowalski, local General
Agent for The Farmers & Bank-
ers Life Insurance Co. has
been honored by being selected
to attend a seminar during the
week of March 20 at the Com-
pany's home office in Wichita,
Kansas. The course provides its
leading general agents w ith ad-
vanced training in all phases of
Agency Management.

200.000. More than 120,000
Ethiopians have earned literacy
certiticates by proving their
ability to read street signs, in-
structions on machinery and
other reading matter useful in
daily life.
The gains illustrate the im-
mensity of the problem. Ameri-
can aid and scarce government
r venues are being concentrated
on the secondary education
needed to organize the country's
economic potential. There are
only about 1.400 high school
-rniors in the whole country.
Half of the committee's $48,
(00 budget comes from the
Emperor. The remainder must
be raised privately. Even when
the funds finally become avail-
able. teachers must be hired,
books printed, buildings rent-
ted and maintained.
In musical English, laced
with Hebrew and Aramaic. Isa-
ai tells of his dreams of univer-
sal literacy in his native land.
To him, illiteracy is the equiva-
lent of imprisonment and blind-
ness. An illiterate person “can-
not read instructions onfer-
tilizer and seed packages. He
cannot read instructions on ma-
chinery He cannot read traffic
signs or public heath messages.
He cannot even take a message
over the telephone. For only
five dollars we can teach an
Ethiopian to read and open up
to him a whole new world.”
Isaac conceived the plan for
his American-style campaign as
a graduate student at the Har-
vard University Department of
Near Eastern Languages and
Literature. While he was a
Harvard student, he was organ-
ist for Hillel religious services
and a contributor to its literary
magazine. He is now back in
Ethiopia to complete a Ph D.

that prayers in common with
Jews “should be encouraged"
and that such prayers “should
meet the spiritual sensibilities
of both parties.” Advancement
of C atholic-Jew ish relations
should be accomplished on all
levels, "clerical and lay, aca-
demic and popular, religious
and social. Particularly recom-
mended w ere “open houses in
houses of worship and “living

The guidelines also urge that
"slower and deeper explorations
of pertinent issues by Catholic
and Jewish scholars must be
given a high priority.” They
suggest that the crucifixion

way “as not to implicate all
The number of unemployed
workers in Israel in the last
quarter of 1966 was about 99,
000, slightly more than 10 per
cent of the total labor force, ac-
cording to a manpower survey
of the Central Bureau of Sta-
tistics. The Bureau said the fig-
ure was made on the basis of a
survey and not through the
labor exchance where many,
but not all. Israeli jobless are
registered.
Labor Minister Y igal Allon,
speaking on the radio, gave a
slightly lower figure of 96,000
persons “not working," the
same total he gave last month
in a report to Parliament. The
Labor Minister said 35,000 un-
employed workers were regis-
tered in the labor exchanges.
The Minister added a warning
that another 10,000 workers
would become jobless this sum-
