Notes on the photos:
1. This is an extraordinary publication running to about 114 pages. It
was the Educational Program (Tochnit Hadracha) for the camp at Kinglake
West (1954-55). The theme was, "Know Your Land and People". There is an
introduction by the Natziv J.E.Steiner who was also the Mefaked Machane.
Although there is no acknowledgement of the author I believe it may have
been Shimshon Feder because he was resposible for producing many
educational publications at that time.
2. There are
ten sections colour coded to last for ten days of camp.
3. Editor Theo
Balberyszki; Sub-Editors Lionel Zeligman and Freda Lasher (what ever
happened to them?). Sydney Editors Carla Roos and Larry Sitsky.
Editorial mentioned that the 3rd Kene Artzi was now taking place. The
back section contained another publication called Kol HaTzeira - The
Voice of Youth. Editor was Alan Morris and sub-editors were G. Hershberg
and S. Silverman. There were articles by David Salmon and Benzion
Eisikovitch.
4. Editor was
T.Balberyszki and the Sydney Editor was Larry Sitsky.
5 & 6 P.Nutt was
a pseudonym used by Phillip Mirjam and R.Onn was Aaron Ninedek. We wrote
several articles and songs together although Phillip was the initiator
and the brains of the pair.
7. There are
two versions of the songbook, both of which were produced by South
African Betar. The blue-covered one (pictured) is dated September 1954
and has about 60 duplicated pages with a few hand-drawn illustrations,
English translation and transliteration using English alphabet but no
Hebrew characters. The second version (with a beige cover) is over 100
pages long and is dated June 1960. It has better illustrations and most
of the songs appear in Hebrew (with dots), transliteration using English
alphabet and English translation.
10. Yosef Steiner, Tommy Rado, Adam Fliegelman, Rosette Landerer.
17. Camp currency used as “legal tender” for purchases at the camp
canteen.. A novel educational idea introduced for the first time.
