Judy La Marsh, a former Canadian Minister of Health and Welfare, who returned a few days ago from a tour of Israel with the Hadassah WIZO National Executive, said she would like to settle in Israel as a teacher or even as a dish washer in a kibbutz. Ms. La Marsh, who is now a columnist for the Toronto Star, said in a television interview that she had been inspired “by the collective feeling of Israelis in building their tiny country and I would like to be a part of this process myself.”
