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 distrubuted widely. The Hebrew edition
of the monograhp, "What Israel and world Jewry Would Gain
from Calendar Reform (BaMe Yoil Tikun HaLuakh HaKlali LeYisrael
VeLaTfutsot)," together with a few copies of its Encglish
edition were produced and widely circulated in the country--to
members of the Legislature, the press, public libraries, professional
organizatins 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 Associatoin to come into being any time its minimum running
expenses can be guaranteed.
