As an old-time Zionist, I am more convinced today than ever before that we must strengthen the Zionist Organization as a weapon for the defense of Israel. At the same time, I urge that the Balfour Ball should be turned into a big success so that Detroit's beautiful Zionist House on Linwood and Lawrence should be able to function properly, to serve as a cultural Zionist center and to house all Zionist activities. . I sincerely hope that all my Detroit fellow Jews will help in this an- nual project and that I shall see all my friends at the Balfour Ball on November 15. n adart 3iihman
