A reception and tea in honor of Mrs. Felix M. Warburg, who returned to New York last week from abroad, which included a visit to Palestine, was given on Tuesday afternoon by the Executive Committee of the New York Chapter of Hadassah.
Mrs. Warburg in her address lauded the work of Hadassah in Palestine which has been able, she said, to accomplish much of constructive value, despite great obstacles.
“I was very much impressed with Hadassah work in Palestine, in the face of such adverse physical conditions,” Mrs. Warburg stated.
“I was also delighted with the school luncheon system which shows a decided improvement in the quality of the food, the quantity and the manner in which it is served.
“I must deplore, however, the state of the Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem, which is housed in an old dilapidated building. We must urge the building of a new hospital on Mount Scopus in conjunction with the Hebrew University. I must stress, however, that even in the old hospital, medical and surgical work is being carried out along the most modern and perfected ways,” Mrs. Warburg stated.
