The grave of Ephraim Chizik, who was killed in the August 1929 riots as he helped defend this colony, was visited last night by 800 members of the Hapoel.

Laborites from all parts of Palestine paid tribute at the tomb of the young man, whose sister Sara was killed while defending Tel Hai with Joseph Trumpeldor in 1920.

Photographs of Chizik, Arlosoroff and Herzl, with black-draped Hapoel red flags, provided the background for the memorial ceremony.
