He says he was inspired by a trip to Israel.) * * * Two thousand years it lay burned out and dead, Neglected by the world, its land a waste Of sand and rock where noth- ing living fed; O'errun by conquerors, its past erased, Where Rachel mourned, bereft, her children fled Or lost, whose Prophets saw the • doom it faced, And cursed the soil for which its people bled And strangers its inhabitants re- placed. But Phoenix-like arising from the fire Which seared six million victims in its wrath, Now leading mankind on the toil- some path To peace and brotherhood and even higher: The trumpets sound, a still small voice is heard, For out of Zion once more comes forth the Word. The Jews in Hawaii The Jewish Community of Hawaii, which dates back some 150 years, today numbers some 800 persons most of whom live in Honolulu.

Winnipeg Sees Growth of Jewish Population WINNIPEG (JTA)—Statistical figures showing how the Jewish population of Winnipeg grew in 80 years from only 21 Jews in 1881 to a total of 19,376 in 1961 were revealed in a study of the growth and changes in distribu- tion of the Jewish population here by Louis Rosenberg, re- search bureau director of the Canadian Jewish Congress. Even more strikng than the total increase in the number of Jews during the 80 years 1881- 1961 was the rise in the per- centage of Jews relative to the total population. Eighty years ago, the Jews totaled only three- tenths of one per cent of the total population. That ratio went up to 8.1 per cent in 1921, started declining in the succes- sive decades, but still totaled 4-1 per cent by 1961. $100-Million Endowment Fund to Benefit Hebrew University Is Outlined in Canada LONDON, ONT. (JTA) — A plan for an endowment fund of $100 million for the Hebrew University was outlined by the originator of the idea, Allan Bronfman, president of the Canadian Friends of the Hebrew University and vice chairman of the university board of gover- nors. Bronfman explained the plan at a reception given in his honor and for Justice Samuel Friedman, counselor of the Uni- versity of Manitoba and mem- bers of the Hebrew University board. He said that he had noted the great universities of the west- ern world had large endow- ! ments established by wealthy persons as a basis of their in- , come. He felt that this was not likely to happen in the case of the Hebrew University. The answer, he said, was an endowment fund to be as- sembled by gifts from Jewish families throughout the world. Such a fund, he said, would produce some $5 to $6 million annually in income in per- petuity and cover about half of the university's present an- nual expenditures. He added that there would be a direct link between con- tributors to the proposed fund and students benefitting from it so that the family connected with a particular student could follow its progress.
