Impressive Prosram Will HishJight Historic Event Scheduled for 2 pm
"BIcHHcd urt Thou, O l-ord our God, King of the I'nlverse, wlto hast kept us in life, and hast prpHorvpd u.s, and enabled us to reach this day."
The above blessing is most timely for Sunday's big event — the Cornerstone' Dedication of the New Jewish Center building on CoUege Ave., just south of Livingston. It will mark the beginning of a new, brighter era in the history of Columbus' .Jewry. The Center, when completed, will add anotVier landmark of beauty and usefulfiess to our growing community, and no doubt will enhance the pres¬ tige and effectiveness of a united .Jewry working together for its own cultural and social improvement.
Sunday afternoon's colorful ocrcnioiilcH will begin at 2 'o'cI'<M'k. with dignitiiries of holli the .lewish and non-.Jewinh coniniunft,v appearing on Ihe progrjiiii, to which everyone i.s cordiiilly invited.
An outstanding feature nf the program will be tho placing of the crtrnt^rstone by Mr. Joseph S. Summ^^er, on behalf of the Schonthal and Summer families —the third generation of contri- bulors to all constructive move- mentf In Jewish life.
Jo.seph Schonthal, of .sainted memory, had great visions of the Jewish Center Ideal many years 'ago. His gift of the Schonthal Center (on E. Rich St.) to the Jewish community was a con¬ crete example ot his future out¬ look on communal Jewish Insti¬
tutions which have a.s their aim tho moulding of character.
"Pop" Schonthal—-as he was affectionately known to thous¬ ands in Columbus—was the grandfaiher of Joseph Summer, whose father, the late Samuel N. Summer, headed the campaign for funds for the Center building in 1015-46.

at all times. In discharging its obligations to every worthwhile cause. He said that he considered It the i-esponsibillty of the Board of Directors of the United Jewish Fund and Its officers to:
