The Tel Aviv Municipality is giving a reception tonight in connection with the Maccabiade, which will be officially opened to-morrow, with 27 countries represented, including many Arabs from Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Tunis.
Mr. Dizengoff, the Mayor of Tel Aviv, Dr. Arlossor-off, member of the Jewish Agency Executive, and Miss Henrietta Szold will deliver addresses. The members of the Habimah Hebrew Theatre Company will give a performance.
The Tel Aviv Municipality has called upon the population to decorate their houses during the Maccabiade and to cease work this afternoon and to-morrow when the official opening will take place, as well as on Thursday during half-day closing.
