the histol'y of outh .African Jewry during 1922 wa" the c 1 -

monial foundation stone laying of the Jewish Guilcl \Var Memo- rial Hall. by General the Rt.

Hon. J.C. Smuts. His inspiring addres" on that Jfr;;toi'it.: occa ,jon and hi appreciation of th'3 J v.·- i.'h citizens' contributions to the civic life of South Africa. will long be remembered.

At the half nnuu.l Meeting it was re. oked that on and after J nu ry bt, 1923, ·ub:cription

THE S.A. JEWISH CHRONICLE hould be payable half annually or annually in advance, and memberR are now being called upon to pay their subscription:.

In September the Executive ornmittee po. ted an appeal to all member~ and a number re- :ponded by paying their anear H1b criptions, but th appeal was not answered a:-- fully a. was exp cted.

Dui-ing December the Finance Committee undertook a Collect- ing campaign and again the

re~ult attained wa~ in:..:ufficient to place the Guild on the sound financial basis which the out- standing subscription:-; justi~ed.

Member~ al'e warned that anears mu t be paid and that the occupt tion of the new building will compensate for the vel'y

~mall . ubscription charged.

The attention of members, both town and country is eallecl to the following fact.- in connection with the Guild's new home.

(a) l t will be the finest J ewhd1

1lub building in the Bl'iti~h

Empire.

(h) Lt will be the home of the J wi~h Guild and the com-

1 rnnal Hall, whei ein the

\"ariou. actiYitiP~ of South African .Jew1y will be centrecl.

(c) It will he a Memorial to tho ,e J ewi:-;h he roe- who

(cl) It wlll be a permanent and irr futc hie vindication of the J · ws' Patrioti:m and their lme of f1ecdo111 for them- . elves and other:..:.

(e) It will be a horn of J ewi.h cultme, whe1e our youth can find a lofty in pirntion, an incentiv to noble action.·

and the im'igoration of their racial ~elf re:pect.

To country member-.: and their frie1Hl...,, it i-< pointed out that when the ne\v building i.' com- pleted. it will be a hom , a meet- incr place ft r tl10!--e Yi.'iting Johannesburg.
