In their brief decade as citizens of an independent nation. the people of Israel have met and overcome many hardships reminiscent of what my forefathers encountered when they set out to carve a home from the desert that was Utah. The people of Israel have demonstrated conclusively that when the chips are down this same tough pioneer spirit which settled our own West still lives today. These have been a remarkable 10 years of accomplishment. Hundreds of thousands of penniless immigrants have been admitted. cared for. and set on their feet. Israels population has mushroomed from 800.000 in 1949 to 2 million today. An army has been raised and trained to fight off constant threats from without.
