pants,' all contributed" ably towards ^ the presentation of a compfete picture of the xieed and urgency for; a successful United Jewish' Appeal campaign ii^i Vancoiiyer. V Among the guests and yisitprs introduced: at the meeting were Dr. M. Neeman,' o£Eicial. Pf the Department of Labor ; in . Israel who is now visiting here; Nathan Landau, who, spent several years in Vancpuver While studying at UBC and is hpw returning^© Israel; and , fprmer Vancouverite Arthur Gk)ldbe^^^ his Israeli, bride who are visiting in VancPu-yer on their honeymoon.
Mr. Philpoftt told the meeting that one of his first impressions pf Israel was of "a Country on guard, with its army very much on the ball and training, seripus-ly." It seemed to him that the "whole nation could be mobilized ih three to four hours" in case of emergency;
The Sun columnist visited 13 countries on his. trip abroad and stopped in Israel pn.his way back, from India, because the Arab countries do hot let visitors Istop in their lahds if they are en route

Mr. Philpptt saw spmethiiig pf the immigrants cpming' tP Israel; Plane-loads from Iraq were cJMn-ing in 10, 12 and even W'^^day while he was there. He also saw bow their integration was started and hpw they were; given a chpice pf pursuit.' >

"A kibbutz youngster caii become a ballet dancer or a statesman, and the statesman returning from abroad will usually come first tp visit the farm settlement where he was born, rather than gb direct tb the big centre."
.Mr. Philpptt sawthe Knesset in actipn and he gpt the impression, that the Israel government "stays close tp the .people." He fpund that in the Israel parliament they were also "crabbing about the high cost of living" and former Canadian Dov Joseph, was taking most of the criticism, and was alsQ the butt of jokes all over the country. Mr. Joseph is a former McGill .University classmate of Canadian, government ministers,
