A country-wide movement has been launched to-day in South African Jewry to inscribe Dr. Weizmann’s name in the Golden Book of the Jewish National Fund to commemorate his present visit to South Africa.
A special album containing all the names inscribed in the Golden Book in this connection will be presented to Dr. Weizmann.
Dr. Weizmann, Mrs. Weizmann and Dr. Alexander Goldstein, who were taken ill with ptomaine poisoning at the Keren Hayesod banquet held here on Monday night, are still suffering from the effects of ptomaine poisoning, but they are feeling much better now, and it is expected that they will have completely recovered by next week.
