BUSINESS SERVICE DIRECTORY

The government has not taken any action, presumably because of lack of money. But a popular Greek magazine has proposed that a worldwide appeal be made for funds. Some officials feel that the United Nations

should appeal to member na- |

tions to contribute.

If the government does take action, it will be the first real protection the Parthenon has ever received.

The monuments of the acro- polis have withstood sieges in ancient times. Barricades were erected on the acropolis during the Greek war for independence in 1821. British paratroopers set up a battery of guns in the Par- thenon's thick columns at the time of a Communist uprising in 1944, °
