Washington, D.C. t— Emergency action by B'nai B'rith Women '«fived ah elementary school for native children an South Africa, according to word just received here lat B'nai B'rith heiadquarters. A sharp ciit in Hhe government subsidy imperiled the existence r I of the native school, and the Sisterhood of B'nai B'rith liOdge, No. 275, in Johanhesbufg, stepped in to help following an appeal by Mirs. A, W. Hoemle, a member of the Sisterhood.
The school is located in a native area called Moroka on the outskirts of Johannesburg. It has 10 teachers for a student body of 650 children, and the building in which classes are held is a dilapidated bam. Under the niational segregation policy of the South African government, native children are required ito pay a small fee in schools such as this; one. This fee together with a govern-' ment subsidy is intended to pay the teachers' salaries and maintain the school. Johannesburg is the largest city in .Ihe Union of South Africa, ,thfe capital of the northeast province of Transvaal, with a population of almost a million.
When the special committee of the B'nai B'rith Sisterhood, under 'the chairmanship of Mrs. A. Steinberg, went to work, the; salaries
of the teachers had not been paid for some <time, .truancy was a critical problem, and the children were being thrown on their own, resources for food- and clothes. The Sisterhood Women promptly launched a drive among their neighbors for contributions in money, clothes and food. In a short time they raised enough to pay back salaries, give the children adequate clothing and provide one meal dn the school each day for the pupils.
The B'nai B'rith Sisterhood committee also obtained the help of a philanthropic foundation in Johannesburg. The foundation, established by a pioneer settlei: named M. I. Isaacson, made a capital grant to replace the presents school building with a modem stmcture and in addition voted a monthly grant for the maintenance of the school. The major share of the funds needed to support the school still has to be raised by the B'nai B'rith Women. According to the report received here, they still go out day after day collecting money, groceries and supplies for the native'school children.
•The B'nai B'rith Women ,has a membership of 135,000 enrolled in more than 600 chapters and sisterhoods throughout the free world.
tural aDeipartment of the Haifa Municipality which is providing kindergarten teachers to take care of groups of small children while their mothers "go to school." .
The Haifa Municipality has,estimated that about 40,000 of its 155,000 residents still need to study Hebrew. Classes conducted by volunteer teachers are held in all parts of the city.
Plan New Type Setflement for j Canadians Retiring in Israel
TORONTO—A novel type of settlement designed especially for Canadians who wish to retire in Israel is planned by a group o: South African businessmen. The settlement, to be named Tel Sha lom (Hebrew for Hill of Peace) will ^be established on an 800-acre site eight miles from Te: Aviv, on the Tel Aviv-Lydda Airport road east of Petah-Tikva
The area has been leased from the Jewish National Fund by Africa- Palestine Investments Ltd., Tel Aviv and the South African Binyan Mortgage Bank Ltd., Haifa, These two well-known companies own 50 per cent of Model Village Corporation Ltd., wliich has been established to develop the Tel Shalom project.
The other 50 per cent of Model Village is held by a group of South African investors.
; The project now^ being launched envisages the construction of four apartment houses with some 90 units in the first stage, and the addition of six mordt buildings with some 220 units later on.
Communal and social services will be cjentrally operated. There will be opportunities for light vocational pursuits, such as fruit gardening, vegetable growing, poultry raising, and handicrafts.
Prospective settlers purchase their own homes in a planned community which will be responsible for all services and facilities. The purchase price will include a share in such amenities as a roof garden restaurant, a theatre, swimming pool and ♦library. j
The area has been fully developed with first-class roads and public utilities. Fruit gardens have been planted. Eadi building will stand on a 1%-acre plot, and there will be a large permanent green belt surrounding the entire area. Prices for apartments will range from $7,500.00 to $12,-500.00 depending on the size.
A couple receiving $150.00 per month in retirement funds from Canada, would be able to live comfortably in Israel

IRAQ PERSECUTES JEWISH CITIZENS
London (WJA)—The London Times' of November 17 carried the ; following armpuncement in the 'Public Notices' Section of its front-page advertising colunms:
"To all Iraq Jews who liave left Iraq for either a holiday or for business reasons, you are requested to note that.the time during which you may stay outside Iraq has now been reduced to six months instead of one year whith was the period previously allowed. You are requested therefore to return to Iraq within six mohths from the date of your departure. Those who have left Iraq under the original regulation which only permitted a stay of six months abroad, and who had not con\pleted that six months when the regulation was issued permitting the extension oi stay up to one year,* must now return to Iraq- before the end of six months." The advertisement is signed 'Iraqi Embassy'.
Early in November, the Iraq Cabinet decided to deprive thirteen persons of their Iraq nationality on the grounds of "Com-•muaist and Zionist activities." On that occasion it was disclosed that Iraqi subjects, 'Including those living abroad, had been asked by the authorities to sign affidavits that they had "relinquished commimism," No such affidavits had been received from abroad by the end of September, the A rab News Agency reported.
