Although the accomplishments
of the Hadassah Medical Organi¬ zation during the past have been great or greater than could be hoped for, the work Is still on an emergency basis. The continuous masses of newcomers to Israel bring with them new and In¬ creasing health problem.s and hy .supporting the Donor Dinner we ihere can do much to help this I great project.
