"Pledges arc pouring inl" re¬ ports   Lou   Ruben,   Financial Chairman   for   the   Drive. Eciually encouraging was the "official"    announcement    by Building Committee Chairman Arthur    Goldberg    that   "... ground    definitely    will   be broken for the new Synagogue by mid-«nmmerl" The campaign drive, which has been  gaining more  Impetus  as each week passes, now has ac¬ cumulated   $202,871 — less   than $175-thousand from the original goal.
Special announcement this week was made by Max Schot- fehsteln and Dave Levlson, who nave been appointed chairmen of the new Pioneer Synagogue memorials. They report that everlasting memorials may be constructed as tributes to de¬ parted parents and famlUes. To memorialize in enduring {orm and eternal value, the names of loved ones may be Inscribed on the fpUowing:
Ten beautiful atained-glass windowa, each depicting a Jew¬ ish holiday, with apace allowed for insertion of names;
The Holy Ark, as a unit, wiil lie
memorialized to a pioneer fam¬ ily. Above the Ark, the two tablets of the Ten Command¬ ments, thejjlons on either side, and the Perpetual Light; and two massive standing Menorahs, the pulpit, and four piUpIt chairs, may be dedicated too. ,
The Synagogue proper, the so¬ cial hall, the Beth Hamldraah (C;hapel), rabbi's study, instruc¬ tors' offices, general offices, 10
classrooms, library, two spacious lounges, kitchen, and the stage, also are being made available for dedications.
Fees have been, set, for the aiiove memorials, and several al¬ ready have been reserved. Fam- illea Interested In endearing the lives of their departed, should contact the Dedication Commit¬ tee now, headed by Mr. Schott¬ enstein and Mr. Levison.
Mr. Sol A. Shenk, trustee and active member of Agudath Achim, has been apiiointed co- chairman with Sam Katz to handle the tremendous response of the Pioneer Memorial Plaque committee. More than 50 names have been mailed In; however, the committee is certain that a goodly number ot names have yet to be acknowledged. Mr. Katz  says  that  the  Synagogue
Mr. Sol Bhenk
Mr. Dave Levlson
wants this plaque to be a me¬ morial for all those who helped found Agudath Achim's original House of God.
"It may be," reports Mr. Katz,- "that some of the deceased may not have families in Columbus-, now." So, he asks that anyone who may know of such cases, to please mail in the blank ap¬ pearing in the Chronicle to Mr. Katz, 621 N. 18th St.
