Singer It is a happy occasion to note that we shall soon see the erec- tion of a Jewish Hospital in De- 75troit. r A hospital rep- 'resents "hope" for re- : —hope covery, for good ;health. It is my opin- ion, therefore, that a Jewish hospital should carry the mes- sage of hope. This is a time J. M. Singer when all of us live in hope—in "Tikvah"—f or a better future for all the world. I propose, therefore, that the Jewish hospital should be known as Beth: Tikvah Hospitalthe home of health and hope. * * * • Turkey Seeking Military Alliance with Israel TEL A V I V (JTA) — Pinhas Rasheesh, member of Mapai, Is- rael's labor party, was elected mayor of Petach Tikvah, defeat- ing the outgoing General Zion- ist mayor, Yosef Saphir, mem- ber of the Israel Parliament, who has been the mayor of Petach Tikvah for 10 years.

The Jewish state was still a dream, but Huberman was out- spoken in his ideas. He passed on all too soon, but his dream is a reality. Huberman was born near licrarsaw in 1882, and at the age of 10 he already was a sensation as a violinist. In 1894 he played at a concert in London, the fol- lowing year in Vienna, and then began touring the world, includ- ing the 'United States. During the last war, he came again to this country and per- sonally raised $80,000 for the orchestra, whose personnel gave 200 concerts for soldiers in the Allied forces. They became the symbol and spirit of the ideal for which Israel stands.
