The United Kibbutz Newsreel #9

A new branch has been established in the Kibbutz entertainment field: magic. Harry the magician teaches the kibbutz members the secrets of the profession and encourages his enthusiastic students to invent their own tricks. Workers from the Hamburg shipyard complete building the first kibbutz cargo ship, the Palmach. The Palmach ship travels to its new mother port, Haifa port, already loaded with cargo and outfitted with the newest technology, while new ships are being transferred by land to the Eilat port to further develop it. Upon its arrival, a festive ceremony was held for its launch, in the presence of the former Palmach leader Beni Marshak, Northern Command Chief Yitzhak Rabin, kibbutz leader Yitzhak Tevankin, actress Hanna Rovina, Transportation Minister Moshe Carmel, and Mayor of Haifa Abba Hushi.
