NEW YORK (AJP+—The

ernors of the Hebrew University
will erect in Jerusalem a new
science, library and other build-
ings at an estimated total cost
of $20 million in the next few
years to accommodate its rap-
idly expanding student body,
according to t h e American
Friends of the Hebrew Uni-
versity here.

"Please, God, let him be aboard"

ALONGSIDE THE DOCK at Haifa a ship is

tying up, its rails lined with immigrants.
From behind the gates on shore anxious eyes
search for the faces of loved ones. Pounding
hearts beseech:

"Please, God, let him be aboard."

A clatter of chains and the gangplank
conies down—weary men, worn women, be-
wildered children stream onto the blessed
soil of Israel.

The waiting crowd surges forward. There

is the heart-rending cry of recognition, the
frantic embrace. For some, this is the longed-
for moment of reunion—in the bright light

of freedom.

For some!

Others in the crowd watch silently, but
with trembling lips. Finally they turn and

trudge away. Hope is fainter now, but alive.

Perhaps the next boat ...

.Yes, the next boat, provided — provided
you help put the passengers aboard.

In four years your support of the United
Jewish Appeal has spelled rescue and home-
coming for 700,000 homeless Jews brought
to a new life from DP camps, Iron Curtain
countries, ghastly ghettos in Arab lands.

This year, 120,000 must be saved.

But the-homecoming is not all. We must
follow it by a great home making. Hands
must be made useful, lives worth living.

Give through your local campaign, for
those who wait at the gates—and those who
wait for deliverance. Give your best—more
than ever before.
