Transcribed from the clipping
“238 NEW GRADUATES AT HEBREW UNIVERSITY. An additional 238 men and women graduated from the Hebrew University at the end of the past semester. Of this number 80 are teachers, 33 scientists and 25 of other vocations. The graduates include a rabbi and a policeman…
PALESTINE VEGETABLE PRODUCTION DOUBLED. The production of vegetables in Palestine for the first three months of 1941 has been doubled compared with the corresponding periods of the years of 1939 and 1940. For the first three months of 1941, the Jewish output of vegetables amounted to 7,000 tons.
RED SEA FISH POPULAR IN PALESTINE. Arab and Jewish merchants in Palestine are jointly sponsosing the marketing of fish caught at Akaba, the biblical Ayaleth, on the shores of the Red Sea. The Red Sea fish are now in considerable demand by housewives in Palestine…
RECORD WHEAT CROP IN PALESTINE. It is estimated that the surrent wheat crop harvest in Palestine will yield at least 150,000 tons, some 30,000 tons more than last year. In addition the transjordania crop will furnish an exportable surplus of 160,000 tons. Both crops will more than meet the demand of the Palestine population.”
Context added by this archive
A weekly column of short items from Palestine. Ten of them run on this page — graduates, a gift to a girls’ village, diamond cutting, vegetables, fish, wheat, doctors, sugar. One names Arabs, and it names them as business partners: Arab and Jewish merchants marketing Red Sea fish together.
In the same column the wheat harvest is counted against “the Palestine population” without saying who that population is. “sponsosing,” “Ayaleth” and “surrent” are the paper’s own spellings.

This record is part of Covering Palestine, an archive of American newspaper clippings about Palestinians, 1724 to 2023. Researched and assembled by Maria Robles.
The clipping belongs to the newspaper that printed it, or to the news agency that supplied the copy. It is reproduced here for research, criticism and commentary. A city here is where the newspaper was published, not where the story came from, and on most records it was taken from the masthead.
