Medicai Center is Major Project
"Hadassah" means the healing of the daughter of my people. One of the most Important projects, there¬ fore, ns the Hadassah Medical Cen¬ ter.    \^
On June 5, 1952, Hadassah broke ground for the the new Hadassah Hebrew University Medical Center in Ain Karcm, west of Jerusalem. Forced to vacate the Mt Scopus Medical Center during the War of Independence, -4Iadassph fitted' out five inadequate and out-modcd buildings as hospitals during and after the selge of Jerusalem.
The enormous Increase of Israel's, population and doubling of Jeru¬ salem inhabitants have greatly In. creased the percentage of new¬ comers desperately in need of medi. cal aid. Hadassah has always been "the address" to which the medical profession througliout Israel could come for refresher training, „could send its difficult cases. Hadassah has also established a reputation for. original research and for high quality of staff of experts.
Because of this Pressing need for a new and modern plant where medical teaching, too, can proceed on a high standard, Hadassah bullda again.
Aware of the desperate need for funds, the following made contribu¬ tions to the Medical Center Fund In November:
Mrs. S. Subow, Mrs. Jack Wol¬ man, Mr. and Mrs. M. Tlcatch, Mr. and Mrs. Norbert Kruger.
Mr. and Mrs. Boris Ozeroff, Mr. and Mra. Abe Robins, Mr. and Mrs. Abe Gertner, Mrs. Sam Melzlish, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Katz.
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Freedman, Mr. and Mra. J. CKlIn, Miss Jidla Silbersteln, Mr. C. J. Stlefel, Mrs. William Goodman, Mr. - and Mra Robert Suid.
Contrlbutlbns'made now will also go toward the entrance tee to the spectacular Feb. 1 tax stamp Ha¬ dassah affair. Call Mra. Normau Melzliah, DO. 6861.        .  ' '
