ttllliam II. I'lvar. Pre. 1326 W. Wisconsin Avenue Division 4-0073 JERUSALEM For a visitor in a foreign country nothing might be so instructive about the standard of living of the local population, its interests, ways of entertainment and consumption, as a glance at an advertisement in some local paper.

This being so, it might also be a good way to check on how the Israeli lives in I960 by in 4 i -l -f I. 1 I'-n -i i i having a look at what he is being offered to buy or to see or to do in the ads of an average Friday (i.e. weekend) paper. Let us take for example the copy "Haaretz" July 1, I960. There is a bin ad by the lb British Paper Abandons Ban on Catholics, Jews LONDON (JTA) The Sunday Observer, one of Britain's most widely respected newspapers, has revised the deed of trust under which it has been managed for the past 15 years to eliminate a clause barring Catholics and Jews from serving on the paper's board of trustees or in senior staff positions.

The paper made the announcement in a statement in which it rejected charges made against it by the Beaverbrook newspapers that it had been anti-Catholic and anti-Semitic. "Our readers are well aware that there has never been the slightest evidence in our columns of religious discrimination or intolerance," it declared. The I-ondon Daily Express, a Beaverbrook newspaper, welcomed the move in an editorial. It termed it belated but commented: "Who can fail to rejoice when prej SOLD AT YOUR LOCAL DEALER THROUGHOUT THE TEAR Mogen David Wine Corporation CIUCAGO 33, U. 8.

Astor, a member of there are of course ads of fashion houses as well as of various detergents, fruit juices, a big ad announcing a competition for the best fashion model sponsored by several soft drink manufacturers and alsj an ad by a London Regent Street shop inviting Israeli ladies to drop in when they arrive in the British capital. Just to make it easier to get there or somewhere else in Europe or America or Asia, the paper has numerous ads by the twelve major international airlines providing flights to and from Israel. Zim, the Israel Navigation offers relaxation to compete with speed of the airlines and the travel agencies offer package-tours to the Greek Islands, to Italy or to Western Europe all payable partly in installments. Another new arrival among the commodities advertised is the new automobile. With the recent relaxation of import control( accompanied by increased customs and purchase tax) one can buy on the spot, without any formalities, any American, British, French.

Italian or even German car. The dealers are offering even trade-in and installment plans. There is plenty of advertising for various evening schools, secretarial courses, language institutes, professional schools, etc. Naturally, the old favorite of Israel advertising books can be found on practically every page. Among the latest offerings is the Hebrew translation of Alan Drury's "Advise and Consent" and local reprints in English of Lampedusa's "The Leopard" and A.

King's "May This House Be Safe From Tigers." TURNING TO THE entertainment pages, there is a big announcement on the schedule of appearances of the American Festival Ballet and next to it the program of Josh White's appearances. The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra advertises its program and schedule almost as a formality since practically all seats for all concerts are sold out well in advance mostly on a seasonal subscription basis. Habimah, the National Theatre, offers performances of "The Visit," of "Twelve Angry Men" and of the Chamber Theatre, the other top theatre of the country, presents "The Twelfth Night," the "Stone Angel," "House of Dolls" and "General Quichotte." The National Opera announces the new staging of "Aida" and the continued performances of Offenbach's "La Pericholle." And then, of course, there are the cinemas offering a varied fare of American, British, French, Italian, Russian. Polish, Austrian, Swedish and Indian and Arabic pictures. the noted British family of news paper owners, is ditor of the Ob server.

The paper has a circulation in excess of 660.000. ft li i III Kii.hu 8iptir King David Hotel in Jerusalem offering special weekend rates for Israelis who want to spend a few days in the cooler air of the capital. Right under it is an even bigger ad by a high-priced filter cigarette named Savyon which in itself is rather revealing: Savyon is one of the high-class suburban areas of Tel Aviv, recently established for the newly rich and some foreign residents. The picture in the ad daes not show the usual contented expression of a smoker but instead presents a picture of a group of fashionable young men and women, some of them in bathing suits, somo in polo shirts, lounging in garden chairs. OBVIOUSLY, Tins IS a snob-appeal type of an ad indicating that high-class people smoke this brand.

The snob-appeal is something fairly new to Israel advertising. On the same page, among other ads, we find two others which are somewhat indicative of the changes of recent years: there is one ad offering a remedy against sea and air sickness something apparently to be in demand these days with more and more Israelis being able to travel on vacations abroad. Right next to it is an ad of Israel's first American type supermarket offering prizes for winners in a customers' competition. The small ads on the inside pages have the usual offers of apartments and used cars, but even here the signs of a higher standard of living appear, somebody is looking for a partner (with capital), to form a company manufacturing pre-fabricnted home swimming pools The employment ads, in general, indicate that many clerks, typists, etc. are looking for better jobs, but there is a great demand for all kinds of specialists and professionals including teachers, engineers, chemists, certified accountants, etc.

The team was inv' to play several games in Sofia, i.ie Bulgarian capital, and was told by the Bulgarian Legation in Tel Aviv that visas would reach the team in Athens. When the visas failed to arrive, a phone call was made to the Sofia Lokomotive Sports Club. The secretary of the club told the Israelis, "Please believe us. we can do nothing about it. Please do not come now." Meanwhile, an Israeli draft resolution, forbidding the holding of regional games in any country unwilling to grant entry visas to athletes of any other country in its region, was placed on the agenda for the next meeting of the International Olympic Committee.

This draft resolution is aimed at prohibiting the holding of games in Arab and other countries if they do not grant visas to Israelis. Rome to Welcome Israelis Participating in Olympics ROME (JTA) Arrangements were completed for the reception and housing of the Israeli squad due here to participate in the 1960 Olympic Games.

I WAS READING the other day in the Israeli papers a story to the effect that the government at Jerusalem is worried by the overproduction of apples. It brought back reminiscences of my first visit there twenty years ago. It was almost impossible to get an apple there then. In the mornings as I woke up, I could hear the sound of dynamite blasting around the hills of Jerusalem.

I was told they were reaching out for soil, and that they hoped to plant apple trees there. So hard to get an apple, I said. Could this be the HOLLYWOOD At Paramount Studios, I watched a sophisticated Lilli Palmer as Debbie Reynolds' screen mother and first wife of thrice-divorced Poge Poole, alias Fred Astaire. The scene was from "The Pleasure of His Company," the drawing room comedy by Samuel Taylor last year on Broadway, and currently completed as a motion picture by the Perlbcrg-Sea-ton unit. The versatile Lilli Palmer at the same time can be seen on the screen in an entirely different role, as Mother Superior of an Italian convent in Rank's "Conspiracy of Hearts." The compelling story deals with a group of nuns who, during World War II, with utter disregard for their own security, snatch Jewish children from the hands of the Nazis.

The picture pays tribute to the head of the religious order who reaffirms the principle of the Judaeo-Christian religion that all men are brothers before God. Began Career in Berlin Actually Lilli Palmer is a Jewish girl, born the daughter of a surgeon. Dr. Alfred Peiser, on May 24, 1914 as she frankly admits, in Posen. then Eastern Germany, now a part of Poland.

Lilli inherited the love for the theater from her mother. Rose Lissmann-Peiser, a leading actress until she married. The family moved to Berlin when Lilli was in her teens. Set on becoming a stage performer, she entered the Ilka Gruening Dramatic School, at 18, making her debut at the Rose Theatre standing on her head in a play called, "Die Eiserne Jungfrau." When Lilli and her sister, Irene, left Hitler's Germany and journeyed to Paris, she changed her stage name to Palmer. Landing a part in a musical comedy at the Moulin Rouge, Lilli had the bad luck to sprain her ankle on opening night.

Appearing with her sister as a duet singing act. she was seen by a talent scout for Alexander Korda. At the age of 21, she arrived in London but failed her screen test. After a series of small parts in British pictures, Lilli realized that she had a lot to learn. Enrolling as a pupil with Else Schrciber, she was told by the coach that she had no charm.

Undaunted, Lilli studied hard until she was signed by Gau-mont British, keeping busy at the studios by day and playing the West End stage at night. Married Rex Harrison Lilli was now able to bring her mother and both actress sisters to London to live with her. Scoring in a number of top features, such as Hitchcock's "Secret Agent," Miss Palmer became an established name. On tour through England with "You Of All People," she met Rex Harrison and was married to him at the height of the London bombings, on Jan. 25, 1943.

A year later, during an air-raid, their son, Carey, was born. Now a wife and mother, Lilli decided to retire from acting and devote her time to the family. Yet, when she accompanied her husband to Hollywood in 1945, when he was to play the King in "Anna and the King of Siam," she was offered such exciting roles that she couldn't resist. Here, she appeared in "Cloak and Dagger," "Body and Soul," and "My Girl Tisa" in the latter as an immigrant girl from Eastern Europe at the turn of the century. By 1948, Lilli Palmer was on Broadway, appearing in "Caesar and Cleopatra" opposite Sir Cedric Hardwicke.

Next she co-starred on the stage with her husband in "Bell. Book and Candle." Then she inaugurated a television program called, "The Lilli Palmer Show." In 1955, she starred with Rex Harrison in the London presentation of "Bell. Book and Candle," and at the end of its run she made several films on the continent. For a French picture, "Montparnasse 19," she took the best performance award at Brussels. She also won an award for her American film, "The Four-Poster," at the Venice Film Festival.

Meanwhile, Lilli and Rex Harrison were divorced. She is now re-married to Carlos Thompson, an Argentine-born movie actor, now a big name on the continent. Lilli's son, Carey, is now 15 and at school in Harrow, England. Dislikes Small Talk Off-screen, the 5 ft. 3 in.

petite Lilli Palmer occupies her time with symphonic records, likes to paint landscapes, plays tennis, rides, reads biographies, and sings. She loves intellectual conversations and has a dislike of small talk.

THE FIRST POPULAR song that I remember was "In the shade of the old apple tree." What could be more comforting! But no apples in the Promised Land! That was like arriving in Heaven and finding no harps.

I went to see Albert Bein, the author some years later of the well known biography of Theodore Herzl. He is now the head of the State of Israel archives. He was one of the young intellectuals of the Yishuv. I told him of my troubles. They have to blast with dynamite.

I said, to plant an apple tree! I WAS A LITTLE comforted when I found it didn't trouble him. He said he thought hardness of a country was not a bad thing. It made, he said, for a resourceful people. The people in the lush tropics, he said, never amounted to much and he went on to cite instances of countries, which he argued, had prospered and grown great just because of their difficulties. As I say.

this cheered me a little, but it still worried me. Then I met a business man who had iust come from Pittsburgh. I asked him what had brought him to Jerusalem. He told me that he had pone broke in the depression and that he had come to Palestine to sell some land which he bought some years back. The Palestine land was now his only asset that had anv value.

It was either that, he said to me, or to so on the corner, selling apples. You know that's what thousands of people are doina in the States now. standing on the corner, selling apples. That put a little different aspect on the situation. But I confess I was pleased to read in the Israeli papers the other day about the over-production of apples.

What kind of a country, I said to myself, can it be without apple trees? A country without a President or Congress, maybe, but a country without apples! Was that possible? General Lee surrendered to Grant, I remembered, at Appamat-tox Court House under an apple tree. NEWTON DISCOVERED THE LAW of gravity when an apple fell from an apple tree and hit him on the head. Why, in our backyard in the States, we even had an apple tree.

I remembered how my father, an old pious Sabbath observant Jew, had planted it when he was almost eighty years old. He had never seen the tree bearing fruit, but every summer now you can see the kids knocking down the apples. What a beautiful thing is an apple. I recall that in ancient times, this land of Juda must have had plenty of apple trees. Why.

Eve gave up Paradise to eat the apple! The apple symbolizes wisdom. What does Solomon say?
