Israel Center to Honor
Labor Zionist Leader
Simon Richardson

Friends and co-workers of the
late Simon Richardson in the
Detroit Labor Zionist Movement
are presently undertaking to
build a cultural center in Israel
to honor his memory.
Mr. Richardson, a lea ding
worker in the movement until
his recent passing, was also a
teacher in the United Jewish
Folk Schools.
The cultural center will be
located at Gan Yavne, an agri-
cultural settlement established
in 1939, which has expanded in-
to a city with prospects of be-
coming a leading oil center in
Israel.
A campaign will begin short-
ly to raise the $20,000 necessary
to construct the center. The
funds will be collected by mem-
bers of the LZ Movement over
the next few years.
