Davis] Announces Resignation; news items In Brief (including Visitors and Donations); Gaza's First Hay-Stack; The Clinic That Grew From a Christmas Gift ("Canadian troops in the Gaza Strip had little idea of what they were starting when they decided to give a Christmas gift to the refugees in 1961.
