Equipment machinery for three complete trade schools in Israel, the first of a chain of technical training schools to be established by the Zionist Organization of America, left for Haifa today on the steamer Akko of the America-Israel Line. The steamer also carries tons of food in bulk collected by the Z.O.A. and destined for distribution by the General Zionist Women’s Organization in Israel.
The equipment shipped is for the setting up of a beauty culture school donated by the Southwest Z.O.A. Region and will be located in the building of the General Zionist Women’s Organization in Haifa; an automobile mechanic school donated by the Eastern Pennsylvania Z.O.A. Region to be located on the coastal plain near Hedera and a needle trade school donated by the Philadelphia Z.O.A. which will be set up in Jaffa-Tel Aviv.
A carpentry school is now in the process of being assembled by the Westchester Z.O.A. Region. Other equipment for training schools including schools for electrical wiring, leather goods, radio mechanics, machine shop and welding are being provided by various regions and districts throughout the country for early shipment to Israel.
