A sum of 100 pounds, the first remittance from the American Committee of the Haifa Technicum, has already been sent to Palestine. The Committee is composed of professional technical men who form a group much in the nature of an alumni association, of which the Haifa Technicum is the adopted Alma Mater.
The Committee is endeavoring to establish contact with technical men in the United States willing to assist in raising funds for the Technicum and thus promoting the technical education of which Palestine is in great need.
Messrs. M. H. Sugarman, B. M. Halpern and J. R. Elyacher are the members of the Acting Committee here.
The head of the Haifa Technicum is S. Kaplansky, one-time member of the Executive of the Zionist World Organization.
