Former Israel Premier David Ben Gurion will perform four hours of field work daily, including plowing with the aid of a team of mules, as his share of the work at the settlement of Sdeh Boker to which he has retired, the newspaper Hador reported here last night.
The rest of the day the former head of the Israel Government will devote to reading and writing, the newspaper said. It reported that Mrs. Ben Gurion, who was a nurse in New York when she met and married Mr. Ben Gurion, has been appointed camp nurse.
