Sinai Hospital is one of two hos-
pitals in Michigan to be awarded
a grant for a clinical anesthesiol-
ogy training program by the U.S.
Department of Health, Education
and Welfare Public Health Service.

The new program has been ini-
tiated to upgrade the quality of
training in anesthesiology and to
improve patient care by expanding
research and training. In 1965,
Congress authorized the National
Institute of General Medical Sci-
ences of the National Institutes of
Health to increase its support pro-
gram an anesthesiology and desig-
nated funds for clinical training
in 1966. The program provides sup-
port for up to three years of full-
time training.
Eligible for the grants are ac-
credited teaching hospitals which
have resident training programs
in anesthesiology and the capabil-

Tefila

ity of training certain basic bio-
medical sciences as well as clinical
sciences. A million dollars in
grants is being awarded to 29
such hospitals in 21 states and
Puerto Rico. Sinai Hospital will
receive $17,480.
Dr. Eli M. Brown is the anes-
thesiology divisional chief at Sinai.

Sigmund Rohl* (right), industrialist and philanthropist, has
presented the newly published book, "Proverbs to Live By," by Rabbi
Joshua Sperka (left), to 50 colleges in Michigan. Rohlik, born in
Magdeburg. Germany, married Sophie Wasserman and together they
migrated to America. They have been in the United States since
1937. Here Rohlik re-established his manufacturing plant and pro-
gressively built up a successful venture in his field. On the occasion
of his 75th birthday, Mr. and Mrs. Rohlik awarded $100,000 in
scholarships to Wayne State University through the Sigmund and
Sophie Rohlik Foundation. Mr. and Mrs. Rohlik also have a room
dedicated to the memory of their parents in Yeshiva Beth Yehuda.
Last week Rohlik made the presentation of Rabbi Sperka's book to
the Wayne State University libraries. Dr. Flint Purdy (center),
WSU librarian, accepted the books on behalf of the university. Dr.
Purdy in his acceptance said: "This translation by Rabbi Sperka
will be treasured as a new approach to the appreciation of the
ancient wisdom the world needs today."
