Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, nationally prominent Protestant clergyman and author, will head a committee of Protestant and Catholic leaders in Putnam County to sponsor a projected Jewish Center of the Mahopacs, situated about 50 miles north of New York City.
The center, which will house the Jewish community’s religious institutions and provide facilities for civic and cultural affairs for all of Putnam County, has a Committee of 100 Christian Friends assisting in its organization.
