The meeting ''51) adopted a mobon, proposed by Mr . .M. Jacobs, that the dual position f spiritual head of the congregation at principal of the Talmud Torah b ;c:;eparated so as t.o enable the incumbent;:; of these post- t ions to devote their undivide1l atten- ti, 1 to their du ie.;.

combining all the major suburban congtegations so as to bring them under one control particularly in the financial and social spheres. This, he

felt, would prornote unity and make for harmonious congregational rela- tionship. He also suggested the estab- ljshment of a Community CoUl cil for th Eastem Districts of Johannes- burg.
