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. Baruch dayan emet—blessed be He who judges truthfully!

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.
