OF Br1C1Sn OeH6rdI EbOldlQ SLOrTS,
one of the early governors of the
Holy City, on August 20. Mrs.
lamar de Sofa Pool who addressed
the patients, doctors and guests at
the opening ceremony, aptly de-
clared "the center begins where
the hospital leaves off. The slogan
that runs invisibly through its
corridors, wards and workshops,
is-the disabled must be enabled"
Here those who literally know
the meaning of the words, eff I
forget thee, o Jerusalem, let my
right hand forsake me-" are given
artificial limbs and taught to use
them. Occupational therapists,
trained in the United States, and
orthopedic surgeons, skilled in the
new science of prosthetics, devote
their energies to rebuilding MAIN
ed bodies and to restoring morale
and a new zest for life.
HADASSAH AND JERUSALEM
It is no accident that Hadassah
has concentrated it's main institu-
lions in and around Jerusalem.
For Jerusalem remains to Israel
the place of going up. To the
Jews, who have stood by their
embattled Holy City against siege,
war and political threats from
many directions, the fact that the
Hadassah medical staff never
wavered, that there was no
thought at any time of pulling
OUT, has been of practical as well
as symbolic significance. The
three emergency hospitals now
operating, the Health Center,
moved from the Nathan and Lima
Straus Building to Hasollel Street,
the Alice Seligsberg Vocational
High School, which is part of the
Brandeis Vocational Center, have
been going full blast.
Again affirming its conviction
that Jerusalem will remain Jewish,
Hadassah will, in the coming year,
repair and expand its war-damag-
ed hospital on Mt. ScOpus. In
addition, the plans for an under
graduate medical school, sponsored
by Hadassah and the Hebrew Uni
versity, are being pushed forward.
Candidates for the school are ex-
pected to be admitted by October,
l949. The structure has already
been started. :.
The medical school will be a
unique institution in the Middle
East. It will emphasize research
and teaching, particularly in trop-
ical diseases, and pioneer in the
relation of the preventive to the
curative medical field. Jerusalem,
the place of going up, and Mt.
Scopus which overlooks the city,
will attain new eminence as the

Our Short Memory
Gustav Kilian, the handsome six
day bicycle rider who is making
such a hit with the American fans
in Chicago, New York, Pittsburgh
and Milwaukee, was also a Nazi
idol during the war He served
in Hitler's armed forces and did
extra duty in the concentration
camps :. Many of our Jewish BIZ
cycle racing fans have applauded
the Kilian-Vopel team without
realizing that they were boosting
a prominent Nazi who should be
behind bars instead of collecting
American dollars and fame in our
country.

What has this meant to the new
Independent State of Israel? It
has meant, in the words of DR..
Yassky, Hadassah medical direc-
tor who was killed in an Arab
ambush on Mt. Scopus Road on
April 10, 1943, that the Jewish
State has the foundations for a
functioning health department,
based on American standards and
adapted to the particular condi-
tions that prevail in Israel. What
does this mean for the future of
Hadassah? It means that Hadas-
sab, which created this medical
organization, now has renewed
impetus to expand it, placing it's
facilities at the service of the men,
women and children already liv-
ing in Israel, and the tens of
thousands who are arriving
monthly to make their homes in
the Jewish State.
The Saith annual Hadassah con-
ventiOn, being held in Atlantic
City, November s to 9, will, there
fore, in this spirit, allocate ST.
400. 600 for health work during the
coming year. These funds will be
earmarked for specific purposes
because the Hadassah staff in Is
rael has it's fingers on the spots
which need particular attention.
REHABILITATION OF WAR
WOUNDED LEADS
First things come first with
Hadassah. When it became ap-
parent early in May that the hos
pital on Mt. Scopus would be iso-
lated, patients, beds, equipment
were moved down to the city Of
Jerusalem, where two emergency
hospitals were established, one at
the English Mission compound and
the other at the French st. Jo-
seph's Convent. These two hos
pitfalls were ready to receive the
heavy flow of casualties that re-
suited during the height of the
fighting around Jerusalem. More
than 43O0 cases were treated.
Even now, mortar shells fall near
the hospital buildings as skirm-
ishes break out in the Holy City
and wounded are brought in for
emergency treatment.
When the Israeli Army needed
the quarters of the Hadassah hos
uital for tubercuIars at Salad, pa
tients were moved to ZichrOn va
kov, and the only tuberculosis in
stitution in Israel continued to
function all through the fighting.
So it was that Hadassah antic'
ipated the need for a separate re.
Mobilization center to provide spe'
cial care for disabled Israeli vet
Grams and to refrain them in new
skills. The center was opened il

A trim, powered sailing vessel, the Reliance, home port, Friday Harbor, Wash, tied up at the small boat harbor a few weeks ago. On board is a family with hopes of settling in Alaska
 No newcomers to the North coun- try are MT. and Mrs. Carl Gray and their two children, John, who is 12 years old and Gordon, who is years. The Gray's have lived in North British Columbia and the Yukon Territory for nine years, and just over the glaciers in At lin for some time.
 Back in June of this year the family headed out to the North in their vessel from Seattle, and have since been cruising through the islands stopping to investigate possibilities for making a perman- ent residence.
 Gray, shipbuilder by trade who feels that there should be a field for shipbuilders in country where fishing is big industry, has hopes of establishing boat building works in Southeast Alaska.
 Young John Gray's schooling is not being neglected while the fam fly is at sea. With his mother as tutor" he is following corres- pondence courses. School for young Gordon is also on the way in the form of correspondence courses.
 The Grays had little trouble sailing their 52-foot craft through Alaskan waters. Only difficulty en- countered, according to Mrs. Gray, has teen the children becoming seasick. They have become good sailors now, she added.
 Tentative plans are to tie up here for the winter, Gray said.

NO ONE BIDS FOR 5AWMILl
 AT WRANGELL

No bids were submitted at the receivers sale of the Alaska -Asiatic Lumber Mill at Wrangell. The bids were to have been op e ne d on Wednesday morning at Wrangell. Gel. Otto F. Ohlson, receiver of the property, arrived in Juneau yester- day to report to the U. s. District Court.
 Col. Ohlson said today, Tt is true that the present situation doesn't look good because of the maritime strike and the fact that the U S. Army isn't purchasing any lumber and won't be for the next few months In addition to the economic instability, the fact that all of the larger sawmills, except enc, in Southeast Alaska are closed down, was contributing factor in no bids being submitted, Ohlson said
 Ohlson stated today that in giv- ing his report to the court he will recommend that no single part of the mill equipment be disposed of to anyone, as it is essential that the property be held intact for the bene- fit of purchasers interested in op- erating mill at future time
 Ohlson will recommend to the court that the property be turned over to the mortgages. He said that there is possibility that the former owner, F. E. Wagner, will be able to secure adequate capital to enable him to regain control of the prop erty again,
