Colonial houses and gardens again
come to the forefront Of interest
as benefit committees for worthy
institutions line up interesting
homes to be included in the annual
autumn tours.
In Alexandria the Auxiliary
Board of the hospital in that his
toric city is making ready for tour
of a dozen houses that will be open
to the public on Saturday the 25th.
Achievements of this board, COM
posed entirely of young women,
have been outstanding since 1t was
organized in 1920. The late Miss
Fannie Carter, for many years
superintendent of the hospital, and
Mrs. Julian Burke, conceived the
idea of a Junior board devoted to
seeking ways and means OF furnish
ing needed equipment for the staff
of doctors and the comfort OF the
patients.
Thirty-five young women joined
the group, and its first big project
was the gift of an x-ray machine.
This was followed by several years
of effort to complete an endow-
ment fund for the machine and a
room. Two years ago a second x
ray machine was given to the hos
pital and one sick room has been
endowed by the auxiliary.
In the pediatric department 1t
has equipped a room where a ward
patient may receive treatment in
privacy; furnished the equipment
for one private child's room; re-
decorated the children's ward; en-
larged the youth ward from four
bed to an eight-bed room; installed
a plaque and placed curtains at
the nursery windows and sponsored
and organized pedriatrics aid
group.

There are the thirty-tWo married

completely furnished with equip

Mentionable among advances are
the new steam and water lines that
service the entire campus. The
power plant has been converted
from coal to oil-burnerS and two
new boilers are being installed.
Adequate heat and water supply
are considered vital to the health
of the student body. In this con.

described as perhaps drastic" re-

budget for 1948-but the United

One of the major targets of Brit

regarded it as a definite indication
the United States would come into
the picture on the side of the Jewish
state in Palestine. The Arabs, who
have lived here for 1000 years and
who outnumber the Jews, were
furious. Tension between the two
races frightened hour by hour.
Ben Hecht got into the game and
violence broke out anew. Mr.. Hecht
was quite the hero among Palestine
Jews for several weeks. Now he is
almost as bitterly hated by the Jews

And President Truman-well the
