$2,500 CAN MAKE
A BIG DIFFERENCE TO
A HOSPITAL STARTED ON
$136 AND A PRAYER.
One nurse, two tents and ten acres of barren desert weren't the only things we started with in 1913.
We also had an unyielding commitment to providing compassionate care for those suffering
from serious illness. That was our driving force then and it remains so today, at City of Hope —a
leading medical and research center whose legendary achievements continue to benefit thousands of
patients throughout the world each year.
One of the best ways you can support our progress is by participating in our Avenues of Giving
programs. With as little as $2,500, you can receive a guaranteed income for life and significant tax
City
savings. And best of all, a legacy of caring for your family and future generations.

survey describing 37 percent of
the black community as high-
ly anti-Semitic. "But there's no
reason for it."
Conducted among 1,101
Americans, the survey asked
those polled to respond to such
statements as "Jews are more
loyal to Israel than America,"
"Jews stick together more than
other Americans," "Jews have
too much power in the U.S. to-
day" and "Jews have a lot of ir-
ritating faults."
Those who agreed with six
or more of the statements were
placed in the "most anti-Semitic
group." The middle category
comprised Americans who
agreed with between two and—
five questions. "Not Anti-
Semitic" meant the surveyed
individual agreed with none of
the statements.
With both large black and Si
Jewish communities, Detroit
has been host to numerous pro-
grams attempting to bring the
two together. State universi-
ties, the ADL, temples and
syndgogues, the Jewish Com-
munity Council and the
AJCommittee, among others,
have all in recent memory host- :
ed at least one such event.
Representatives of these
groups say they were disap-
pointed and frustrated by the
high rate of black anti-
Semitism. But they do not at-
tribute the results to the failure
of black-Jewish dialogue groups `!
and other joint programs. '
"What it (the survey) tells me
is that not enough is being done
to bring the African-American
and Jewish communities to-
gether," said JCCouncil
Executive Director David Gad-
Harf. "It would be a grave er-
ror to disparage those good
things that are being done."
The study's troublesome
findings come amid increased
black-Jewish tensions in cities
like New York and Chicago, but
Mr. Gad-Harf and others do not
foresee worsening relations be-=,
tween blacks and Jews locally.
"There's no overt hostility
here," Mr. Gad-Harf said. "Nor
has Detroit been subject to the
kind of community conflicts in
other cities."
The conclusions of a local
study, conducted in 1987 by the
Detroit ADL, were not unlike
those of this week's national
study, according to Michigan
ADL Director Richard Loben-
thal.
The study found that blacks —
living in the inner city felt more
distant from Jews than almost
any other ethnic group, while
blacks living in suburban
Detroit considered themselves
closer to Jews. The conclusion:
the more contact between the,
two, the less anti-Semitism.
But Mr. Lobenthal doesn't
buy the line advanced by some
