JEWISH HOSPITAL PIONEEBS IN TELEVISION X-RAY PLAN PHILADELPHIA—The Jewish Hospital of Philadelphia has carried out successful long-distance X-ray diagnosis by television. The Philadelphia Jewish TIMES reported that the new technique was earned out between the hospital and the Medical Tower Building. It is called “videognosis.” Dr. J. GershonCohen was in charge of the experiments. Hospital officials said the new technique may provide important advances in the care of patients in small hospitals, rural regions and in other isolated areas. The TIMES said that by use of the technique, a radiologist many miles away ran read X-ray plates and offer diagnostic advice. The Jewish Hospital experiment covered a distance of eight miles but the range of the technique can be vastly extended by co-axial cables. SUMMER CAMPS WELCOME JEWISH CONTENT PROGRAMS By PHILIP LEVINE LOUISVILLE (NJP)—Directors of Jewish summer camps welcome the introduction of Jewish cultural and religious programs in camp life. ^ That opinion was offered t-iis week by Saul M. Loeb of Louisville, who recently completed a Tour of some 30 summer camps in New York and Pennsylvania. TTie tour was held as part of a Jewish National Fund cavalcade. Now in its second year, the program is handled by two youths whose purpose is to cooperate with camp counsellors in setting up programs of Jewish content. THE REASON WHY "The reason there are not more programs of Jewis*-> content in summer camps is that most camp personnel haven’t the training or the know-how to handle such a program,” Loeb said. Loeb and Eugene Lipski visited the camps at the invitation of directors contacted in advance of the tour. Both are students at the Jewish Institute of Religion in New York. Reform seminary. KIDS LIKE IT "The programs were accepted enthusiastically by the youngsters, who ranged in age between 6 and 16,” Loeb reported. He cited the opinion of one camp director as typical: "Children don’t stop thinking during the summer. We want the type of a program you present. We feel it fills a definite void in most camp programs.”

Life and hope for hundreds of thousands of our fellow-Jews can be provided only on a C.O.D. basis. Only cash can avert despair. Only cash can transport them to Israel and to other lands. Only cash can provide homes and build a new life for the immigrants among their own people in Israel. Only cash can save many thousands from homelessness and persecution in Europe and North Africa. If you made a pledge, remember it cannot go to work in saving lives until you have paid the cash. To us here C.O.D. means Cash On Delivery. For our fellow-Jews in Israel and elsewhere C.O.D. means Cash Or Despair.

Qn Sunday, October 8th, National ”C” Day, stay at home to give cash. Give all you can to see the job through.

Why Cash Is Needed Now 1 At least 50,000 Jews must be moved out of Iraq in the coming months. 2 70,000 Jews must be transferred from Roumania to Israel. 3 There are still 80,000 Jews living in tent-cities who must be given homes and jobs in Israel. 4 Cash in time will convert these deadlines into lifelines for our fellow-Jews overseas. Cash in time will help us fulfill our obligations here at home.
