Aaron Zacks
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE COMMUNITY
Aaron Zacks, who has been one of the prime moving forces in bringing the Heritage House dream to fruition, is approaching the end of his term of- office as president of the Heritage House Board. Mr. Zacks, active in many phases of Columbus community life, has is¬ sued the following open letter to the community.
"I will be going out of office in January. It has been a source of great personal satisfaction to have been a part of the community ef¬ fort to build Heritage House.
"It has taken a tremendous amount of work and effort on the part of many people who have co¬ operated with me and the genero¬ sity of the entire conw^unity to make this possible. Since we have been working together for nearly five years to build this home, my greatest happiness, which I'm sure is also yours, is to pay off the mortgage.
"We owe $96,000 and the interest costs approximately $5,QQ0 per year. If you could see your way clear to pay your pledge in full by Jan. 1, it would really thrill us. But, far more important, it would re¬ lieve us of the burden of $5,000 a year for interest.
"Our goal is to pay the bank off completely by Jan. 1. Sincerely, Aaron Zacks."

Tl ISRAEL BOND CHAIRMAN STRESSES NEED FOR ADDITIONAL BOND SALES
Israel must carry through a major program of economic development in order to sustain its rapidly growing population, Mr. Samuel Oppenheimer, Israel Bond Chairman for Temple Tifereth Israel, declared this week.
Temple Tifereth Israel is participating in this program* by having its annual Israel Bond affair at the Temple, Sunday evening, Nov. 17, at 8 p.m. Lou Mason, noted comic and racon¬ teur, will be featured in a one man laugh show. Reiiervations for the affair may be made by calling the Temple Tifereth Israel Bond Com¬ mittee at CA. 8-2474.
"While Israel's achievements have evoked admiration in almost every part of the world," Oppen¬ heimer said, "the fact is that our job is only half done because we must build up the country to sus¬ tain a population that is rising at a rapid rate. They require contin¬ ued aid through Israel Bonds to develop their uninhabited areas, in¬ cluding the unpopulated regions of the Galilee and the Negev, where they must settle many of the new immigrants who are coming to Is¬ rael in greater numbers this year than  in recent years.
"As outside governmental sources of financial assistance decrease, we must rely more heavily on Israel Bonds. For that i;eason, more Is¬ rael Bonds must be sold this year than ever before.
"Now that redemption is taking place and Israel has demonstrated so effectively its productive use of Israel Bond money, these bonds clearly represent a very sound and gratifying investment. The people of Israel are keenly aware of the decisive importance of American Jewry's partnership with them through the medium of Israel Bonds. I am very happy that I am able to participate in this pro¬ ject which has had so powerful an impaqt and so historic a role in the development of the State of Israel."
