South Side Congregation To Hold Ball Sunday Proceeds to Go to Remodeling of Synagogue. Preparations are being made .by the South Side Congregation-of Israel to accommodate one of the largest Jewish throngs that has ever gathered at the City Auditorium,' at its Grand Ball, Sunday, February 1st; • < The committee in charge reports that the Auditorium has been decorated for this affair.and that the dance floor will be in perfect.coridtion. Edwin Kahn and his Field Club Orchestra have been engaged to furnish the music and the program of dances is sure to appeal to all. : The advance sale of tickets has been unusually large due to the competition of the various workers .who which has been offered, as first prize to the individual selling the greatest number of tickets. The purpose of this ball is to raise funds to enable the congregation to make needed and necessary; improvements in the property. -The South Side synagogue was - originally the property of the First Presbyterian Church and in 1909, due to the untiring efforts of certain, now prosperous Omaha: business men, the property was acquired for the • sum of $4500. Added improvementsjfcotaled another $2500,' "making.-a total of. $7000. The congregation at that time consisted of a mere handful of Jews and it'was due solely to their unflagging zeal and persistency that in the short space of five years the mortgage was retired and the property passed into the hands of'the Jewish Congregation free from all debts. The South Side has more than 150 Jewish families at the present time. It has been estimated that the improvements will cost nearly ?6000 and will" consist of an entirely new basemerit with ample space provided for the South Side Talmud Torah, a balcony for the women and children, an. entirely new and adequate heating plant and miscellaneous minor improvements, . •
