Sign on the Door: 'Joint Subsidizes This Installation' Derivation of 'Haifa' name as early as Talmudic times. Some, of late, have conjured that the name "Haifa" is a combination of two words "Chof Yafeh" mean- ing "a beautiful coast," because of the attractive sights at the coast of Haifa. Haifa, the second largest city of the State of Israel, derives its name from the fact that it is a border town on the Mediterranean coast. The term means "border" and in the case of a coastal area, may be taken to mean the shore indicating that Haifa borders on ' If not for the mouse, what harm the sea shore, which indeed it does. is there in the mouse-hole?—Era- The city seems to have had its chin 30.

Fannie Brice took a special in- if only they could open up some business and grow along with. the new towns, but always it seemed, it would require more capital than they could command. So they rode on, puzzled what to do. Finally, they came to Oklahoma City. That territory, formerly an Indian res- ervation, had just been opened up to settlement and they liked every- thing about it. This was the place they wanted to be. Here, they would snake their stand. But what kind of business could they enter with so limited funds? They thought long. and finally Abe came up with an idea. "Jake," he said, "let's start a bank. If we have a bank, we don't need any money of our own. People will bring their money." So they put up a sign about it being a bank and bought them- selves each a cigar and sat down waiting for the people to bring their money. And sure enough, at the end of the day, their coffers were filled beyond their rosiest expectations. "You know what," Jake says to Abe, "I think we should put our own $65 in it too. The whole world can't be crazy." Eddie, himself without resources, capitalized on his voice. He started terest in Eddie Cantor when he was trying to make a go of it in the theater, and Eddie once asked her why she took all of this trouble. "Eddie," she said, "I had a dog once who always had a hungry look and he had large soulful eyes and I lost it and I was very sad and then I saw you and I thought, I had my old mutt back." Those large sad eyes of Eddie's, no longer shining. perhaps in part stemmed from the fact that he was both a motherless and fatherless child. He lost both of his parents before he. was two years old and was raised by his Grandma Esther. The whole country knew about Grandma Esther and the thing that I liked especially about her — as funny as any of the stories Eddie Cantor told - was the job she had. Grandma Esther was an old- fashioned Jewish woman and in order to support herself and Eddie, in those days when there was no Social Security, she had to get a I job. But what kind of a job could an elderly Jewish grandmother get? So what did this unemployed Jewish woman do? She started an employment agency.

France was also honored when a Gold Medal was awarded, also in absentia, to Mme. Jacqueline Aur- iol for her "entire aeronautical career beginning in 1948." Vice Admiral R. B. Pirie, of the U.S. Navy, was among the recipients of the Tissandier award as was Rina Levinson, an Israeli pilot who has been flying gliders since she was 14 years old and who now operates an air taxi service in Israel.
