The cornerstone of the. Jewish Center was dedicated last Sun¬ day afternoon—hut, metaphori¬ cally.. It was Incalculably greater than a cornerstone that was dedicated: It wa.s.. a milestone! For It marked—in solid granitcr- the fine progress of a .lewigh community; it marked Ihe ful¬ fillment of a dream by ilroamers no longer with us, men like Jos¬ eph '•i''op" Schonthal, E. J. Schanfarber, Siimucl N. Summer and Simon Lazarus. It .al.so marked the culmination of effi¬ cacious efforts in initiating a wonderful edifice for men on the Center's iiyiUling and Site Com¬ mittees,  as  follows:
Building Committee: A. I. 'Ven¬ kin, Chairman: Harry Gilbert I. 'W. Garek, Dr. E. J. Cordon, Rudolph Kiemperer, Samuel Mel¬ ton, J. S.-Resler, Jack Schiff, Ed¬ ward Schlezlnger, Joseph S. Summer, Samuel Stone and Abe A. Wolman.
S.ite Committee: A. I. Yenkin, Chairman; Millard Cummins, Troy A. Felbel, Harry Gilbert, Arthur Goldt)erg, Dr. E. J. Gor¬ don, Herman Luckoff, Leonard Manekln, Samuel Melton, Jack Ratner, Jack Schlff, Edward Sch¬ lezlnger, Morris Skilken, Robert Weller, A. B. Weinfeld, Abe A. Wolman, heo 'Yassenoff.
Highlight of the Impressive ceremony was the piscina of the cornerstone, an honor given to JOBBptT'S.Summerr grandson of the late "Pop" Schonthal, on be¬ half of the Schonthal and Sum¬ mer families. His father was the late Samuel N. Summer, who headed the campaign for Center funds In W15ACy.
Mr. Summer said "the laying of the cornerstone is and will be the greatest thrill of my life; my appreciation is at this lime ex¬ tended to the people of Columbui for their thougntfulness and generosity."
Located at College Ave., just south of Livingston, the $650,000 Center will house a large audl- toriurrt, a library, a gymnasium, swimming pool, bowling alleys, steam.bath and health rooms, handbhll courts, meeting rooms
