VIENNA, (JTA) — In the
nearby suburb of Floridsdorf,
eight tombstones were found
overturned in the Jewish ceme-

Charles Weinsfock says
Acting to meet the problem
of a shifting Jewish population
in the Metropolitan St. Louis
area, the Jewish Community
Centers Association of that city
acquired a 108-acre suburban
tract for a recreation center and
made plans for the immediate
acquisition of urban property
for an intermediate community
center.
A building with complete
recreational facilities and ample
space for meetings which will
replace St. Louis' outmoded
YW-YMHA will be constructed
on the 108-acre site. The re-
mainder of the tract will be
used for outdoor recreational
purposes.
The suburban facility will be
designed to provide recreation
for the family as a unit.
