 u Pledges to the extent of $24,00O were received last night at the special rally and flag dedicatory services held at the Jewish Synagogue on Elm street
 M, S. Dunn, D. D. S., has charge of the War Savings campaign amongst the Jewish people and in an appeal last night urged all to do their utmost to respond to Uncle Sans request for money. He then asked if anyone in the congregation would volunteer to start the pledge with promise to buy $1,000 worth of Thrift Stamps before January 1. Immediately Mrs Aaron Pinkus signed her name to such a pledge. A moment later her little daughter Bernice signed a pledge for $200 worth of stamps, and Dr. Pinkus himself took a pledge to buy $1OO worth.
 Morris Cohn, 8. prominent whole sale grocer, signed a pledge to pur- chase $1.500 worth of stamps for his family between now and January 1, and Samuel Shurberg, a coal dealer, promised to take $1,O00 worth, too. There were numerous pledges for $500 worth and smaller amounts
