Activities carried out to bring Israeli opinion round to realize the advantages of The World Calendar as such have met with not inconsiderable success, reported Mr. Daniel Sher, the Association's Representative in Israel. In fact, the advantages of The World Calendar (i.e., under aspects other than those affecting Jewish survival) are hardly any longer questioned in the Israeli press and public.

Articles in favor of The World Calendar have been published in the press, and literature has been distributed widely. The Hebrew edition of the monograph, "What Israel and world Jewry Would Gain from Calendar Reform (BaMe Yoil Tikun HaLuakh HaKlali LeYisrael VeLaTfutsot)," together with a few copies of its English edition were produced and widely circulated in the country--to members of the Legislature, the press, public libraries, professional organizations and to individuals. Reactions have been as a rule favorable, the opponents seemingly preferring to ignore it altogether.

Facilities were provided to Headquarter's emissary Colin Jackson on his mission, enabling him to contact Israeli authorities and obtain first-hand information from them.

A nucleus of an Israeli World Calendar Association has been secured, the Association to come into being any time its minimum running expenses can be guaranteed.
