A tribute to the work done by Leonard L. Cohen, the President of the Jewish Colonization Association (Ica) in his capacity as honorary secretary of the King Edward’s Hospital Fund, was paid yesterday by the Prince of Wales, the President of the Fund, presiding at the meeting of the General Council of the Fund held at St. James’s Palace to award grants to the hospitals and convalescent homes for the present year.
Leonard L. Cohen presented the schedule containing the awards out of the Thank-offering Fund for the King’s recovery. Among the sums awarded the London Jewish Hospital receives £100 to reduce the debt on the acquisition of the adjoining site.
The list of awards out of the Hospital Fund includes grants of £700 to the London Jewish Hospital, of which £100 is to the deficit on the acquisition of the adjoining site, £420 to the Jewish Maternity Home and £20 to the Sarnuel Lewis Seaside Convalescent Home.
Lord Reading moved the vote of thanks to the Prince of Wales for presiding and for the interest he takes in the Fund.
