munities in Florida:

ton are urged to join the Congre-
cation of the nearest Jewish COM
munity.
2. Aware of the splendid pro-
gram of the United Service Or
CARNATIONS in furthering the spir-
itual and social welfare of the
men of all faiths now in the armed
forces of our beloved country,
Be It Resolved:
That the Florida Rabbinical AS

New Savannah
Synagogue Will
Open June 22nd

The newly completed synagogue
building of the Congregation Agu-
oath Achim of Savannah will be
formally dedicated with public
program to be held Sunday after
noon, June %, at o'clock. A
prominent visiting rabbi will
preach the dedication sermon.
The new synagogue is a distinc-
tive edifice in that it is air con-
ditioned, the first house of wor-
ship in Savannah to be so equip
ped. It is believed that it is the
first synagogue in the country to
be air conditioned for the comfort
of worshippers.
Located on Drayton and Valid
burg streets facing the Park Ex-
tension, the building is Georgian
in architecture. The architects
who designed it were Levy and
Clarke, and the building contract
or was Highsmith-Worrell Com
pany. The main auditorium is or
the second floor and will accom-
modate approximately 500 per-
sons. Arched, small-paned wind
ows will light the auditorium. The
pulpit is on the eastern end of
the auditorium and is mounted
with a handsome ark built in ira
ditional design. The scrolls OF
the law are contained in the ark.
The perpetual lamp and the
branched candelabra will also dec
crate the pulpit.
The ground floor Of the syna-
gogue will contain a daily prayer
chapel, offices, classrooms and a
social hall. Accordan doors from
adjoining rooms will give the social
hall a seating capacity of approx
imately 800 persons. Another in
novation in the design is the provls-
ion of cloak rooms on the ground
floor so that hats and coats and
umbrellas will not interfere with
the convenience or comfort OF
worshippers during the services.
It is emphasized by Samuel
Tenenbaum, president of the syn
agogue, that the services are OPP
en- to the public.

Samuel McCrea Cavert is a
member of four national bodies
dealing with the refugee problem:
The Presidents Advisory Com
mittee on Political Refugees Zap
pointed by President ROOsevelt),
the American Committee for
Christian Refugees, the U. S. Com
mittee for the Care of European
Children, and the National Refu-
gee Service.
There is at least one by-prod-
uct of work in behalf of refugees
which I shall always deeply cher
ish. It is that this growing sense
of common responsibility is
proving, I think, the greatest fac
tor in bringing about a better
understanding and a deeper ap-
probation between the Jewish and
christian elements in our Ameri-
can population.
"The fact that we have had this
common responsibility has made
us come to know each other bet

his tenure of service should be
made permanent. This will bring
about stronger Jewish congrega.
