Two Daily Services

The new rabbi of the Central |

Hebrew congregation, Rabbi Nandor Fruchter, says he will continue. ted definitely, the twice daily services he has inaugurated in the temple. The services are being held seven days per week at 6 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. The orthodox central congrega- | tion, at 21st and Central. was | without a spiritual director for | years until Rabbi Fruchter began his administration last week. Chief emphasis is to be laid on worship, the new rabbi says, because the congregation needs to be revitalized. The Passover services just completed were well attended, Rabbi Fruchter reports. He is a native of Germany, was educated and grew up there and lectures on the Nazi regime. Rabbi and Mrs. Fruchter have a small son, two months old.

Robert Gossman,

Local model airplane builders today lagged far behind the quota of

1600 solid scale planes set for Indianapolis by the navy in its plans to construct 500,000 aircraft for study. Gordon O. Johnson, mechanical drawing teacher at Shortridge and (director of the program here, said that only 100 planes have been accepted by inspectors here. “We are about 400 planes behind schedule now,” he said. Poor quality of workmanship appeared to be the reason for the small number of planes accepted in many cases, Mr. Johnson said. He urged builders to speed up their construction and presentation and at the same time improve the workmanship.

Happy Over New Church Interior

The new electric clock in the Mt. Olive Methodist church will be a constant reminder that children helped with the redecoration of the church property. Bishop Titus Lowe of the Indianapolis area will rededicate the building and deliver the sermon tomorrow at the evening service which will climax a day of celebration. Dr. C. M. McClure, Greencastle district superintendent, will

[ give the morning sermon preceding]

the noon basket dinner.

Intermediate boys gave the clock,

and girls of the same age gave the new flags to be dedicated by Dr, McClure. The entire interior of the church has been redecorated and re-wired and new class rooms have been arranged. Mt. Olive was first built in 1871, burned in 1898, rebuilt the same year and destroyed by wind in 1911. The redecorated church of today was erected in 1912. The Rev, C. H. Loveland is pastor; Albert Thompson, chairman of improvements, and N. H, Cory, the contractor.

City Is 400 Behind Gol: Poor Workmanship Blamed

Directors of small groups taking part in the building program were

especially urged to intorm their model builders that the navy needs the planes at the earliest possible date, Meetings are held every Thursday night at 7:30 p. m. at Shortridge high school for modelers to turn in their planes. There, they are inspected and approved or disapproved. Indianapolis’ part in the huge building program began nearly two months ago. The models are being constructed by pupils in the schools and some 40 or 50 youth organiza, tions in the city. The program calls for the building of two sets of 20 models each and one of 10 planes, They are built on a scale of one to 72 and will be used by the navy for training in aircraft recognition and gunnery sighting practice.
