TORONTO-
The president of the Technion — Israel Institute of Technology has lashed out at the quantity and quality of workers in
Israel's export industries.
Noting his country must increase e.xports by a billion pounds a year, Amos Horev pointed out Israel has not improved its productivity in the last five years.
"Israel must stand on
its own feet and this can be done only through industrial-type activity." he declared in a speech here. "We have to direct ourselves in certain areas where we'll be leaders.
"We can only cope with maintaining our products'
in the world market by constant devaluation," he told 100 persons attending a luncheon last week at the Inn on the Park. "It's an easy way, but not the right way."

Toronto lodge, Montreal chapter receive international BB awards
WASHINGTON —
B'nai B'rith International has cited two Canadian groups — a Toronto lodge and a women's chapter in Quebec — for the organization's best local community service programs in 1977.
A member of the winning Upper Canada Lodge in Toronto and a North Carolina woman also were honored as the year's outstanding volunteers.
The Toronto lodge conducted a wide range of
volunteer programs, from providing regular entertainment for patients at a psychiatric hospital. a geriatric centre and a school for retarded children to sponsoring an International Blind Bowlers Tournament, donating holiday gifts to the Jewish Family and Child Service and raising funds for the Board of Jewish Education.
Upper Canada also purchased an Ionic Calcium Analyser for Toronto Western Hospital. The new

Israeli stamp for accelerator honors Koffler
TORONTO -
The Israel Philatelic Agency has announced the release of a new stamp from Israel with a special Canadian connection. Issued Oct. 18. it commemorates the new Koffler Accelerator at the Weiz-mann Institute of Science in Rehovot.
Pan of the Canada Centre for Nuclear Physics, the accelerator was recently inaugurated and put into operation. With.it^ Israel's nuclear physicists acquired one of the most advanced tools for'probing the jSe-crets of the universe. The futuristic twin-tower accelerator, rising over the Rehovot campus, houses a 14 U.D. Pelletron, a sophisticated research instrument for the study of the nucleus of the atom.
The accelerator building is pictured on the single value ILJB stamp designed by Z. Nar-kiss. Government printers will print the multicolored issue by photogravure with 15 stamps and five tabs to the sheet.
The stamp marks many "firsts"'. It honors Murray Koffler, chairman of the board of the Canadian Society for the Weizmann Institute and the building force behind the creation of the Canada Centre for Nuclear Physics. He becomes the first Canadian to be recognized by the Israel government through a stamp issue.
It is the first stamp ever released in Rehovot, Israel's commemorative issues and stamps being issued in Jerusalem. It also is the first IL 8 stamp.

machine, used by the Metabolic Renal Laboratory, greatly improves the speed and accuracy of a test which checks the blood calcium level of dialysis patients.
Quebec's Covenant Chapter of B'nai B'rith Women was honored for a series of activities which included a total of over 1.500 volunteer hours, many related to senior citizens programs.
The chapter's mobile nutriment can project provided both personalized grocery shopping service for the elderly as well as companionship. Members distributed large print books for the partially sighted at senior citizen centres, made daily phone calls to older people living alone and delivered food for the Meals on Wheels project.
The chapter also sponsored trips for retarded youngsters to baseball and football games, assisted in a heart disease screening clinic and provided trans-
portation for convalescent centre patients.
Upper Canada Lodge and Covenant Chapter will each receive B'nai B'rith's Sidney G. Kusworm Award. The award memorializes the first national chairman of B'nai B'rith's community volunteer services.
The Col. Elliot 1. Niles Award, named for the first chairman of B'nai B'rith's volunteer assistance to veterans and servicemen, was won by Sam Handler, a member of the Upper Canada Lodge, and Sally Schrader, a member of Charlotte Chapter in North Carolina, for their individual achievements.
Handler provided volunteer service for patients at a geriatric care hospital and a mental health centre and co-ordinated recreational activities at both facilities. He also works with a local foundation which provides homes in a family setting for young adults who are mildly retarded.
chief scientist of the defence ministry, is on a North American tour. He also visited Calgary, Edmonton and Montreal to address Technion gatherings.
Indicating there are less than 300.000 employees in Israel industry, and only a third of those in first-class industry able to sell their products to the rest of the world, he,called for measures to increase the quality of these workers.
" With a small economy, we must direct ourselves to quality products stressing uniqueness of design. We must raise our quality of manufacturing and double the size of those in first-class industry."
Horev, who headed the highly-publicized government probe into absorption and aliya, said there arc too many persons in services, but that it was toolate to shift them. "We have to get the new generation into industry. We have to make it a value, both economically and socially."
The degree of dependence by Israel on others is distasteful, he observed, although he noted that his country has attained a certain degree of independence in armaments manufacturing.
Horev discussed the 9.000-student Technion — . "the most important institute of higher learning in Israel." It's responsible for graduating virtually all of Israel's engineers and architects, he stated.
Turning to politics, the 53-year-old articulate scientist said most Israelis
are not surprised by the showdown between Israel and the U.S. "We've been expecting it," he remarked.
But he told his audience there is a national consensus on several issues: no Palestinian state west of the Jordan, no negotiations with the PLC, a military border-between Israel and Jordan in the Jordan Valley and the inviolability of Jerusalem.
The ex-Hagana member and former chief of logistics assured his listeners that the army has been reorganized.. re-equipped and revitalized since the Yom Kippur War and can cope with future problems.
Jack Chisvin, Technion Toronto chapter- president, chaired the lunch-con. He introduced Shaul Afek, the Haifa institute's new representative here and thankeS Ray Wolfe, president of Canada-Israel Chamber of Commerce and Industry, for its co-sponsorship of the event. He also announced the chapter's current project is the new nutrition and food chemistry building.
