A MOTORCADE TOUR of New
York City, witnessed by more than
1,000,000 citizens and followed with
a formal reception by Mayor Wil-
liam O'Dwyer, marked the arrival
from Palestine via TWA recently
of the Hapoel
soccer team.
Looking fit,
the 19 members
of the squad,
five coaches and
Hapoel dele-
gates were met
at LaGuardia
Airport by rep-
resentatives of
the mayor's of-
fice, city offi-
cials, and representatives of or-
ganizations sponsoring the Pal-
estinians' nation - wide goodwill
tour. Detroit will be host to Ha-
poel June 15.

•
CHEERING CROWDS lined
the streets of Brooklyn and
Manhattan to hail the Dapoel
group, riding in open cars.
Wearing their blue Hapoel
Jackets, the men carried Amer-
ican and Palestinian flags.
* * *
IN THE FORMAL reception at

city hall, Mayor O'Dwyer, after
being introduced to the players by
Judge Samuel S. Leibowitz, chair-
man of the committee sponsoring
the tour, described the visitors as
the "flower of Palestinian youth."
The mayor said they reminded
him not only of the living but of
the dead—"the brave young men
and women who died in concen-
tration camps and who might
have been with us today as hale
and hearty as you if they had
been able to escape." He promised
to attend the first game of the
team May 4 at Yankee Stadium.
• • •
THE SQUAD presented O'Dwy-
er with a letter from Mayor
Israel Rokach of Tel Aviv, in
which he expressed the gratitude
of the Yishuv for "the unstinted
support given by the people of
the United States and its govern-
ment to our claim for fair play
and for a sporting chance to re-
build the ruins of the House of
Israel."
The Hapoel is the sports and
physical culture organization of
Histadrut, Palestine's Federation
of Jewish Labor.

OVER . 600 MOURNERS said a
final farewell last week to Benny
Leonard, the greatest of Jewish
boxers.

same speed that characterized his
fighting prowess. While refereeing
a match, Leonard collapsed. Fif-
teen minutes later he was dead.
Born Benjamin Leiner 51 years
ago, Leonard, the son of immi-
grants, had few peers in the ring.
Ile won 208 out of 210 bouts,

• reigned eight years as unde-
feated lightweight champ and
before retiring was regarded as
, a master at boxing strategy.

THE ICEMAN COMETII...
IN 47 B.C.

In the grandeur that was Rome, the wives of emperors and of
a few senators kept their food fresh and wholesome with snow

rushed down from the mountaintops by fast chariot.

There probably was a lot of oh-ing and ah-ing among_ the
Roman gourmets when Caesar's wife, Calpurnia, served
chilled Carthaginian canapes on a sultry summer evening.'..:

But how Calpurnia would have envied you your electric

refrigerator.

"By Jupiter," she'd have exclaimed, "you have dependable,
inexpensive electricity to keep your food fresh and appetizing.
Electricity so inexpensive, in fact, that your refrigerator runs

five full days for less than a quinarius*."

Today in your home, refrigeration is just one of the dozens of
ways in which electricity does jobs for you ... better ... and

for less money than any other way.
