plane, our son, Carmi, telephoned us the sad news of the passing
of Dr. Noah E. Aronstam.
He and Mrs. Aronstam, of blessed memory, were the first
friends I made upon my coming to Detroit in 1918. We worked
together then on behalf of the Hadassah bazaar that was held at
the Arena Gardens. From that time on, the Aronstams' home was .1
always open to me and to my good friend, the late Sam Heyman. cA
The Aronstams were among our best . Zionists. They were
devoted to the best interests of our people.
Dr. Aronstam was a good physician, a linguist, a truly inspiring
poet. He was the poet of The Jewish News, and only a week before
his death he wrote an excellent poem—Hayom Harat Olam—ap-
propriate for the High Holy Days. .
He had asked me, several years ago, to be the only one to
officiate at his funeral. It was not to be!
-He was an eccentric. But there were very few like him who
knew the classics, nearly all the European languages, the Bible, <4.1' -
the Koran.

Five Detroit women were
among the 32 members of the
United Jewish Appeal's third
Women's Survey Mission, which
returned this week from Israel.
While in Jerusalem, the mis-
sion, which included Mesdames
Abraham Cooper, Lewis Daniels,
John C. Hopp, national vice-
chairman of the Women's Divi-
sion, Ivor Kahn and Hyman
Broder, were honored at a din-
ner attended by members of
the Israel Cabinet.
Each of the Mission members
received a gift, from the govern-
ment of Israel and the Jewish
Agency, of a marble plaque bear-
ing the official seal of the state
and the UJA symbol.
The dinner was addressed by
the minister of justice, Pinchas
Rosen, and came as a climax to
a 10-day study tour of Israel in
which the women traveled from
the upper Galilee to the Negev
and spoke with scores of vet-
eran citizens and new immi-
grants.
The UJA Mission learned that
over 50 per cent of this year's
90,000 immigrants have been
settled in pioneering towns in
underdeveloped areas, such as
Beersheba in the Negev.
In Jerusalem, the UJA Mis-
sion members met with the
President of Israel, Yitzhak Ben-
Zvi, and his wife at their home.
