From their conversation (they spoke Dutch), Mollie realised that they were in a bit of a fix! i4bl They were members of an international theological ANGLO-SAXON seminar group and should already have been at REAL ESTATE AGENCY LTD tending the (^ening session which had started a hour before. They had left their host in Hoion early enough, they believed, to get to their venue in good RA'ANANA AND HOD HASHARON time. However, nearly two hours later they still had a IVOR.

D.R. Netanya HAPPY BIRTHDAY AT 911 My friend's grandmother, who came from Czechoslovakia some 70 years ago and who lives in a Beit Avot, recently celebrated her 91st birthday. She's lively old lady, bright and still reads without the aid of glasses. Hava decided to make a surp rise party for her grannie. So we baked some cakes, bought some goodies and flowers and things, and arranged for some of the old lady's friends — so few are still surviving — to come to the party, too. We fix ed times to pick them up. One lives on her own in Rishon, two live in a Beit Ovot in Ramat Hen, and two live in Ra'anana. With husbands, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and old (literally) friends, it was a gay crowd that gathered on the home's lawn in the late afternoon and toasted the good lady's health. » PURE BEEF BURGERS Hava's grannie hadn't expected any party and the * CHICKEN * FISH expression on her face when she took in the scene of the gaily bedecked table, with chairs all round, and * HOT DOGS * SCHNITZEL ail the goodies and presents set out, was something * MILK SHAKES ...
