'•Miss Israel Becomes 'Mrs.9.. Fringe benefits of local philanthropy these days seems to be high romance. Latest of the "matchmaker" arrangements to take is that between Aviva Israeli—the 19GB "Miss Israel"— and the formerly mueh-indemand as an eligible bachelor Myron Zimmerman, San Francisco land developer. Now Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman, the couple was wed recently in a private ceremony by Rabbi Saul E. White. A jet-flight courtship between L. A. and San Francisco developed soon after the pair were "fixed up" on a date by Mrs. Melville Marx Jr., chairman of the Chai Lites Committee for the Israel BondVVomen's Division. As special guest for the group's opening event last August, and visiting San Francisco for the first time, Aviva was provided with the 29-year-old Zimmerman as her "date" through the hospitality and mutual friendship of Mrs. Marx. With Aviva scheduled primarily for Los Angeles Bonds guest appearances, the romance was conducted long distance and by air, but blossomed quickly. Since her marriage, she has relinquished her title, forfeited the remainder of her American tour, and will make her home in San Francisco— a new young matron for the Chai Lites Committee which she has since joined as a permanent member.
