But Executive Director Hirsh
Kaplan said the offers "dramati-

mercial value" of the Center site,
half of which was gift to the
Jewish community.
Half of Tract Given
The seven-acre tract, located just
west of 10th Street on the north
side of Camelback, was owned by
Col. Louis Himelstein and Milton
Bochat, partners in the Rancho

Three and a half acres were pur-.
chased from Himelstein and Bochat
for $27, 900 and the remaining 31s
acres were donated by the two
men. The tract originally had been
listed for sale at price of $56, 900.

will require a minimum of five
acres. It will consist of a social and
fine arts building, an outdoor swim
ming pool and children's pool,

school, outdoor playground and

nix developer and one of the

For this particular plea for help

from Dan Cupid himself.
The letter, which was addressed
to "The President of the Jewish

delivered to the New York offices

and is unknown to us here, ex-
cept of his presence, / shall be
indeed highly obliged to have
from you the necessary informa-
ton and answers to my enclosed
Yours faithfully,

Enclosed with the letter was a
list of the subjects the prospective

reading as follows:
His character
Family backgrounds
Whether he is supporting his
parents
II he is drinking much
If he eats pork
Whether he is religious
Where he comes from originally
What is mis- job
What salary
Whether he is Sabbath observer
This constituted quite an order,
but an inquiry in the boys home
town brought the following reply
to HAS from the local rabbi:
with reference to your letter
of March 8, 1853, have visited
the #. family. Mrs. F., mother of
Corporal p. F., is q member of
our Sisterhood. The family is
quite Observant, and the boy

served Kashruth in his own

A copy of this letter was inn
mediately dispatched to Ethiopia.
P.S.-They were married, and
will live, HAS hopes, happily ever
