ThcLWest should not be misled into thinking the establishment of a secular Palestinian state would solve the simmering Arab-Israeli dispute, says Joseph Burg, IsraePs minister of the interior.
Burg, a leading member of the National Religious Party, labelled PLC chieftain Yasser Arafat's scheme for a secular state as '*a big lie."
Speaking ait the new site of the Ulpahat Grot Girls' School, Burg illustrated hjs thesis by referring to the current conflict in secular Lebanon. Religious and economic rivalry between warring Moslem and Christian factions in that country, he said, p ro v i d e s a supreme example of the untenable theory of peaceful coexistence in a Mideast secular state.
In a hall heavily guarded by plainclothes policemen, the Israeli cabinet minister told a crowd of 300 last week that the historic UN resolution with its monstrous equation of Zionism with racism has paved the way for the possible expulsion of Israel from that world body.
"The resolution," he added emphatically, "is a moral, cruelty to this generation, to t h o s e remnants of the remnants we found after the war and the Holocaust. The shadow of the swastika has come up against the light of the M a g e n David."
T h e infamous UN stance. Burg continued, coupled with Syrian belligerence and recent acts of PLO terrorism, will effectively negate any positive change  in  climate the

The new chairinan of the 1976 Israel Bonds. Rubin Zimmerman, has set a goal of S15 million for the coming year, up $5 million from 1975.
"The new policy is to get ever\- household to become the owner of a bond." Zimmerman said in an interview. He said however, that the Bonds committee would be satisfied with $12 or $13 million.

People problems can be serious problems.
This is what Ontario is doing to help solve them in advance.
Recently arrangisments were made for a group of.Indian children to attend the public school in a northern Ontario town. The principal of the school in the town was aware that Indian children sometimes had a rough time at the hands of other students; and to try to forestall this kind of situation, he called m a Human Rights Commission counsellor to talk to the other children. Tne counsellor asked the children if any . of them had ever moved to a new school, and what they thought it would feel like if they were the strangers In this way he helped them understand how the Indian children would be feeling when they arrived, and the integration proceeded . relatively smoothly.
Community counselling is one of the ma)or roles of your Ontario Human Rights Commission We hold seminars and discussions with police in areas where there are communication barriers between them ' and minority groups, to help relieve tension and promote mutual understanding.
We attend meetings of immigrants and native-born minority groups to explain to them both their rights under the legislation and ihei''responsibilities as citizens of this Province-
.We also help bnng people into contact with local agencies like home-and-school groups, community and governjnent agencies, and churches, which are available to help but which many people don't even knowexist Wherever there's a difficulty based on race, language, colour or creed, the Human Rights Commission is available to generate discussion and motivate people to develop understanding and respect for the other's point of view..
Our |ob IS to help bring people together and encourage healthier relationships arhong all groups

A pioneer in the Mizrachi movement and himself a product of a Bnei Akiva school, the interior minister urged the community to strengthen its educational institutions and perpetuate the ethical teachings of Torah — to ensure the survival of Judaism during periods of external harassment.

Mercedes-Benz pioneers yet another engineering milestone: a 5-cyIinder Diesel engine that rivals today's gasoline engines in smoothness, quietness and power-while providing the unmatched economy and durability inherent in Mercedes-Benz Diesels since we introduced the world's first production Diesel passenger car in 1936.
The 300D clearly flies in the face of engineering convention. lL£stablishes a whole new category of Diesel —a whole new category of automobile. __
Why a 5-cylinder?
Mercedes-Benz wanted to make a performance Diesel. A new car that had much greater horsepower and torque, but did not sacrifice the economy and reliability of previous Mercedes-Benz Diesels.
Nearly four decades of Diesel experience told the Mercedes-Beru engineers tHat a major power increase would have to come from an entirely different engine. Not one with bigger cylinders—one with mor^ cylinders.
If engineering convention were to be served, the next step up from our standard 4-cyUnder Diesel should have been a 6-cylinder engine. But because of the unusual strength
necessities particular to all Diesels; it follows that a 6-cylinder Diesel would have to be substantially larger and heavier .than a 4-cylinder.
The Mcrcciies-Benz solution was typically unconventional: A 5-cylinder Diesel engine.
The most advanced Diesel
The 5-cylinder Diesel engine was a technical challenge for Mercedes-Benz engineers. But, they made it work.
The new engine's size was set at 3 liters. Torque was raised nearly 20%. Horsepower was up a full 25°i over any previous Mercedes-Benz Diesel. The result is the new 300 D, the most advanced Diesel passenger automobile. For a
Performance, economy, luxury ,
While the new 300D acts like an economy car, it doesn't look or feel like one. In every major appointment, the 3pOD is equal to-the Mercedes-Benz 280 Sedan. It blends performance and economy in a luxury package.
A final thought. No manufacturer anywhere in the world has a greater safety involvement than Mercedes-Benz. Evidence of the decades of Mercedes-Benz safety engineering is everywhere in the 300 Diesel.
The best resale value.
The record shows that Mercedes-Benz automobiles have a better resale value than the Big 3's

29 mpgin town, 37 on the highway
According to the most recent U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's test report, the new 300D can get up to 29 mpg in city driving, and up to 37 mpg on the open highway. And since Diesel fuel is usually cheaper than gasoline, the 300 D goes more miles on cheaper gallons.
standard or luxury cars. This reassuring fact, along with many other,unique attributes, combine to make the new Mercedes-Benz 300 D an exceptional investment.
The most enjoyable and rewarding method of evaluating any Mercedes-Benz automobile, however, is the test drive. Just contact your local Mercedes-Benz dealer.
