expanded facilities completed at
considerable cost to further serve

there be many more double win
dOws, but-for the first time at the
Stanton track-21 OF them will be
available Oh the grandstand mezza-

Thus, congestion will be greatly
reduced throughout. the areas en-
bracing mutuels facilities by ex-
pansiOn of this service and creation
of more spaciOusness, or walking

The announcement from Bryan
Field, Vice President and General
Manager of Delaware Park, where
the Thoroughbred sport gets under
way May 20, reveals that while SO

1t has been a long, hard pull for
Delaware Park-through no fault
Of its Own-to bring its daily double
service up to standard. Back in
1851, months before the meeting,
80 of the daily double issuing ma
chimes were contracted for. but
later the tote" company explained
that only Is were available because
of construction difficulties and ma
terial shortages caused by the de-
tense building military program.
Thanking Delaware Park double"
devOtees at that time for their pa
thence and tolerance under existing
conditions, track management de-
cided it would be better to give
patrons half a loaf than none at
ali. The following season, 1852, the
track was able to triple it's supply
of ID. machines, with 446 issuing
tickets. The total grew to So last
year-nOW 20.

Mobile, ALABAMA

REGION of Hadassah. In Israel Leo
Ashcroft first joined a kibbutz
movement. His present associa-
ton as assistant manager of the
Dan Hotel demonstrates the need
of Israel for men Of varied abih-
ties. The struggling Jewish state
needs managers and technicians
as well as farmers and workers.
Israel is a country with many
people of many backgrounds. The
richness of these backgrounds is
only now beginning to be felt in
the economic situation of the
country. But the DAN Hotel in
Tel Aviv is as representative of
Israel and its development in the
past eight years as any living
institution here.
The DAN, with facilities as
modern as any in the world, sit
ting in the heart of the newest
city in the world, all-Jewish Tel
Aviv, is a picture of the strug-
giles, the disappointment and the
eventual triumph which is the
fruit of all labour in Israel.
1t is possible to describe a hotel
as having a bath in every room,
or individual air conditioning, or
the most modern furniture, or
even radio and telephone in each
room, but this would be sterile
picture. Every achievement has
human story in back of it. The
story of the DAN is in reality a
story of Israel, since and even
before its creation.
The founders of the hotel, Is
raelis and Americans, are well
known in their respective coun-
tries as people with initiative and
personal achievements in Zionist
organizations and Relief and Fund
Raising Institutions in America
and Israel. The Americans who
played major part in the estab-
lishment of various Israeli indus
tries and the DAN Hotel, Max
