Page 14 The Southern Israelite Hebrew Orphans Home to Retain Building Although it was the original plan of the Board of Directors of the He brew Orphans Home, with its capacity for 150 children, to abondon the plant and direct the future policy of the Home to that of concentration on subsidized and boarding home care for its eighty-five children, the plan has recently been considerably changed. In a letter written by Artnand Wyle, Superintendent of the Orphans Home, he stated that “there was an intention of disposing of the present building occupied by the Hebrew Orphans Home, and locate in smaller quarters. However, it has since been decided by my Board to remain in this building for various and excellent reasons. While we have at present no children in the building, we shall retain it for such children as cannot be placed in foster homes. There will always be a Hebrew Orphans Home in this city, and I trust that the moral, spiritual, and financial support of the citizens of our Southeastern States will be re tained in support of the latest pro gressive step that this institution has taken consistent with its forward- looking policy for the past forty years.’’ Mr. Jacob Levine Is Elected Nashville, Tenn.—Jacob Levine, 87 years of age and a long time resident of Nas'hville, Tennessee’s capital, has just entered upon his seventh six-year term as a member of the county court of David son County, the county in which Nash ville is located.
