A Seven Arts Feature
One of the liveliest 85-year olds
in our country is Nathan Hack,
who lives in Santa Monica, Calif.
The classical Horatio Alger hero
had it easy compared to Mr. Hack,
who came here from Poland at
age 16, with $3 to his name. He
4earned English while selling news-
papers, did stints in repairing um-
brellas, selling carpets and farm-
ing chickens.
In Detroit, where he went to
live, both he and his wife chanced
to have poor feet. This led to an
incredible career which made this
autodidact one of the world's most
illustrious inventors.
His own ailment led Nathan
Hack to study the physiology
of the foot, which led him to
design improved shoes, which
led him to the remedial shoe
business, which led to a series
of inventions which have brought
relief to thousands of disabled
people all over the world.
The Hack Walker has eman-
cipated many wounded veterans
from wheelchairs and enabled
them to move about. The Hack-0-
Maker introduced a new method
of foot measurement. Hack's "rip-
ple-soled shoes" have been a bless
ing to many who suffer from sore
feet.
Acclaimed by inventors' asso-
ciation, periodicals. doctors and
gratified patients by the thou-
sands, Mr. Hack recently received
an accolade from Temple Beth
Sholom of Santa Monica, for his
loyalty to Judaism.
RAMAT GAN—The senate of Bar-

Prof. Kaddari was born in Mezo-

ceived his MA degree in Hebrew
language at the Hebrew Univer-
sity in 1950 and continued there
for his PhD degree, which he re-
ceived in 1955. He wrote his thesis
on "The Grammar of the Aramaic
of the Zohar."
Prof. Kaddari lectured at the He-
brew University from 1958 to 1960,
