Although millions of
Americans will be enjoy
ing Jaffa oranges and other
pioducts imported from the

realize how Biblical events

A former newspapei edi
toi, now working at Zim
Isiael Navigation Ltd., parent
company of Zim Container
Set vice for shipping freight
which has just completed its
fust successful freight carry
ing year, has sent in his ideas
on how the news might look

HOW NEWSPAPERS MIGHT HAVE REPORTED
FAMED BIBLICAL EVENTS
A ribbon-cutting ceremo
ny today marked the open-
ing of the port of Yafo to
commerce It was establish
ed after the waters of the
deluge receded by Japhet
Ben Noah His fathei was
noted as the skipper ol the
ark and the coiner of the
phrase, “Apres le deluge,
moi ” Asked about the se
lection of the site, Japhet
replied, “I feel this is likely
to be the center of farming
and expect to export great
quantities of citrus fruits
through this port After all,
Mt Ararat seemed a bit im
practicable as a port site.”
WHALE OF AN IDEA
Jonah, the prophet, who
set sail for Tarshish from
Yafo some time ago and
was thrown overboard be
cause the officers and crew
of the ship on which he sail
ed felt that a storm to which
•they were subjected was due
to God’s vengeance, return
ed to port today aboard an
unorthodox vessel called the
S.S Leviathan, reputedly a
whale It is said there were
no cabins and that he travel
ed in the belly compartment.
