The new structure will be lo- cated west of Hamilton Boulevard and is designed to cater to the spir- itual needs of the fast growing north- western section of the city situated between the Boulevard and Highland Park. It is planned to make the in- stitution thoroughly modern yet or- thodox in tendency. A meeting will be held on Sunday, September 6th, at 10 a. tn. at the home of Meyer Stone, 320 Atkinson avenue, for the purpose of discussing and pre- paring plans for the proposed syna- gogue. A cordial invitation is ex- tended to all members of the Jewish community interested in the project to attend the meeting. On sunlit paths; The sick man breathes now unafraid, And nature laughs.
