Mrs. Cutler Announces Sale
of $50,000 of Bonds at
Initial Rally

Anticipating the great respon-
sibility of raising the largest sum
son record in the forthcoming
Third War Loan, for the prose-
cution of the war, the Ladies'
Auxiliary of. the Jewish National
Fund adopted a quota of $100,000
and inaugurated a Bond drive
Wednesday evening, at a gather-
ing at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Sol Edelman, 2250 S. LaSalle
Gardens.
Mrs. Philip J. Cutler, president
of the Auxiliary, announces that
$50,000 has already been raised
twoards the quota. She expressed
assurance that the $100,000 quota
will be over subscribed by a
large sum.
"Our war efforts committees
are as active as those engaged in
Palestine land-redemption," Mrs.*
Cutler stated.. "We are aiding in
war efforts here and abroad. Our
Palestine effort is an aid to the
United Nations in the Middle and
Near East, and our local effort
is conducted through the sale
of Bonds and by cooperating
with the USO and the Army and
Navy Committee of the Jewish
Welfare Board."

Solomon Zemon deprives the
Congregation of a most valu-
able member and ardent work-
er. Through all the years of
his connection with the Syna-
gogue, he- .was a constant and
faithful attendant at its serv-
ices. For many years he was a
member of the Board of
Trustees, serving the Congre-
gation with devotion, earnest-
ness, and ability. One of his
notable achievements was the
establishment of the Library
of the Congregation—perhaps
the largest Congregational li-
brary in the country. His un-
ceasing efforts and zeal con-
tributed much towards the
growth and development of
the Synagogue.
"Inforthed by the spirit of
the Synagogue, DaVid Solo-
mon Zemon was active in all
worthwhile communal institu-
tions. In fact, there is no cause
in the community, educational
or philanthropic, with which
his name was not associated.
"David Solomon Zemon will
be missed by the Congrega-
tion. His work, however, will
abide.
"May the Source of all con-
solation send His heavenly
comfort to the bereaved fam-
ily."
