"The idea of a Jewish Center Is not novel in Jewish life. Our ancestors established one, 'The Mishchan,' even during their wanderings in the Sinai Desert.
"Now that we have a com¬ munity council which repre¬ sents the spirit of a Jewish uni¬ ty and solidarity, it is high time to build an abiding place for that spirit. This need will be toet by the building of a Community Center.
"It is my earnest belief and prayer that this institution will prove a source of great pride and satisfaction not only to the Jewish community, but the en¬ tire city of Columbus." HIMOS LAZARUS, United Jew¬ ish   Fund  of Colunibus:
"A Jewish'Center in Colum-' bus will fill a long-felt need for an institution that can reflect and contain the growth of our ideals and goals. The future rec¬ reational, educational and social activities of our adults and child- Ven will be amplified by the Center. I'm sure the fund drive wiii exceed the proposed fig¬ ure "
.MII,T()N  STAVB, Temple Isra¬ el  Brotherhood:
"Every member of the Jew¬ ish community of Columbus should pledge as much as pos¬ sible for the Center because every member will use its fa¬ cilities and benefit by the hew strides we can make in a cen¬ tralized, cooperative institu¬ tion."
