building of Palestine. -
John Isaacs, one of the sur-
viving sons, president of the
Michigan Linen Supply Board of
Trade, serves as a member of the
executive board of Arlazaroff
Branch and is treasurer of Aus-
lander Family Club, of which
Mrs. Isaacs, during her lifetime,
was the oldest member.
The committee announced that
a certificate will be presented to
the Isaacs Family, indicating the
forest memorial, which will be
established in Palestine. A for-
mal presentation will be made at
a date to be announce• later. All
contributors to- this fund will be

thanks to the above named or-
ganizations and to all contribu-
tors who have made possible the
