While You wait." JERUSALEM — Sixty- eight years ago, Nathan Straus, and his wife Lina, who were noted philan- thropists, gave Henrietta Szold the seed money for what became the Hadassah Medical Organization. Recently, their great- great-granddaughter was born at the Hadassah He- brew University Medical Center in Jerusalem in a medical complex that started with two American public health nurses who pioneered a mother-and- child health station in the Holy City. Several years ago, Andrea Straus, great- granddaughter of Nathan and Lina, immigrated to Is- rael where she met and married Amir Shaviv, an Israeli television journalist. A graduate of the Hunter College School of Social Work, Andi now carries the Jerusalem tradition of her family. TEL AVIV — The Israeli Export Institute has launched a campaign to in- crease the exports of Israeli-made toys and games. More than $6 million in Israeli toys were exported in 1978 and manufacturers are studying expansion of their facilities.

When Henrietta Szold in 1912 wanted to enlarge Hadassah's activities from a Zionist study cir- cle to an organization with a practical program as well, Nathan said: "Once, long ago, I suffered the pangs of hunger. I was starving. I had no money for a single meal for days and I have never forgotten the sensation. In so far as it lies within my power, no man that crosses my path shall go hungry." When the Strauses heard about Miss Szold's plans for Hadassah to send nurses to Jerusalem, they came to visit her, climbing the three flights of stairs to her mod- est apartment in New York City. "Why don't you start work?" they asked her. She then admitted that she had only $273 in the treasury. They at once provided the funds to send the nurses, Rose Kaplan and Rachel Landy, to the Holy Land. The nurses arrived early in 1913, and so began Hadassah's medi- cal work. In 1929, the monumental Nathan and Lina Straus Hadassah Health Center for All Races and Creeds was formally dedicated in Jerusalem. Since then Hadassah has invested millions of dollars in a network of hospitals and services emanating from the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center with its two great campuses at Ein Karem in western Jerusalem and Mount OD • • • • • • • • • • • • 0/0 OFF BALI Decor Aug. 4 Effort for Wallenberg Is Set by Wiesenthal Center 15ZI MICHAEL for COUNTY COMMISSIONER • • • • Veteran Member AFUCIO Businessman Former Vice-Chairman 18th Congressional Dist. • Former member Oakland County Resolutions Comm LOS ANGELES — The Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies is ask- ing Americans to corn- memorate the 68th birth- day on Aug. 4 of Raoul Wal- lenberg, the Swedish dip- lomat credited with saving thousands of Jews from the Nazis in Budapest during World War II.

In a letter to the President, Nathan Perlmutter, ADL's national director,_ pointed out that the SBA turned down the request while adknowledg- ing that "the evidence of prejudice and discrimina- tion experienced by the Hasidim is overwhelming and essentially unrefuted."
