WITH THE FAIRER SEX
Israelis Make Hit At
Trade Fair Show
By SAUL CARSON
NEW YORK — Among the
3,000 exhibits displayed at the
fifth annual United States World
Trade Fair here, showing the
proudest goods sent here by 60
countries, none attracted more at-
tention than the exports of Is-
rael. There was “hard goods”—
like heavy building equipment and
Israel’s Sabra automobile; there
were “soft goods,” like men’s and

Ministry of Defense.
With all this talent devoted to
. the exhibit here, it was no won-
women’s fashions; Israel’s famous der that Yeshayahy Stopper. Is-
wines and liquors were here and
Israeli candies, and even Israel’s
very beautiful postage stamps;
and there was a new line of Is-
raeli-made furniture. But none of
these attracted more attention
than—the Israeli girls.
There were five of them. Three
had served in the Israeli Army
before going into modeling, and
are native-born Israelis. Ziva
Shomrat-Imber, 20, was born in
Haifa. Mimi Margules, born in
Jerusalem, is a member of one
of Israel’s oldest families, and is
20. Twenty-one-year-old Rauth
Fleisher is the third of the native
Israelis, army-trained, who had
studied at a teachers’ seminary
before she started showing bath-
ing suits.
Sarah Eli is also 21. She was
born in Tripoli, came to Israel the
year the State was born, also be-
came a model for a bathing-suit
manufacturer. Finally, there is 21-
year old Gila Golan, “Miss Israel
1960,” who was chosen last year
in London 'as ^Deputy World
Beauty Queen.”
Gila was born in Poland. At
the age of 2, a Polish family
found her wandering the streets
of Cracow. No one knew where
her parents were. The Poles
adopted the little girl. At the age
of 6, she was turned over to /
■Jewish authorities. Through “Ali-j
jath Hanoar,” she was brought j
to Israel. She was brought up in
Israel in religious institutions.
At 18, she decided to become a
model when Bruno Bernard, a'l
well-known Hollywood photo-
grapher, discovered her and pub-
lished her photos.
Twice a day during the Fair,
these five Israelis examples of
pulchritude pranced the runway
in the principal auditorium in the
vast Nev; York Coliseum, showing
Israeli fashions. An Israeli quar-
tet, made up of three Yemenite
men and a very beaiutiful Yeme-
nite girl, provided suitable musi-
cal and vocal accompaniment. The
Israelis were the hit of the entire
Fair.
Why should Israel go to the
trouble and expense of sending
a quintet of gorgeous models
here, Well—they are part of Is-
rael’s over-all show; and that an-
nual show, exhibited here for the
fifth censecutive year, has paid
off very handsomely.
Israel’s exports to the United
States no^ account for 15 percent
of the country’s tetal annual ex-
ports. In 1960, Israel exported
to the U.S.A. goods valued at
a total of $29,000,000—$2,000,-
000 more than the preceding year.
Israel’s exhibits, in the pavilion
at the Coliseum here, and in
other American cities, have help-
ed build the export total mater-
ially. |
Israel has a special firm in
charge of fairs and exhibitions
which always attract favorable at-
tention throughout the world. Dr.
Eli Justice-Dyan, that firm’s di-
rector-general, who was in charge
of Israel’s Pavilion here this year,
has shown Israeli exhibits in many
other cities in this country, in
South Africa and Rhodesia,
Franqe and Poland, Sweden, Bel-
gium, Holland, and at the famous
fair at Ismir, Turkey.
The very attractive pavilion
here this year had been design-
ed and built by Moshe Saphir, a
famous Tel Aviv architect. He is
the artist who designed the in-
terior decoration of a new, first-
class hotel at Tiberias, in Israel.
And it was he who designed the
interior of the new Israeli Mus-
eum of the Haganah, dedicated
recently at Tel Aviv by the Israeli
rael’s trade commissioner in the
United States, took great pride in
the entire undertaking. Israel’s
show here was a great success—
financially as well as aesthetical-
ly. And the aesthetic sector had
been enhanced by those five Is-
raeli models—ladies all.
