JEWISH ALLIANCE
WHAT'S IN A NAME?
We have received a number of suggestions that the name
of this paper should be changed, in order to make it more repre¬
sentative of the purposes for which it has been established.
Although edited, published and circulated by the Alliance as a
community service, this paper, in addition to giving full cover¬
age to the activities of the Alliance, also carries news of the
Savannah Jewish Council, the United Jewish Appeal and Fed¬
eration campaigns, our many Jewish organizations and news
of general interest to Savannah Jewry.
Suggestions for a new name for this paper are welcomed.
They may be mailed to Irwin Giffen in care of the Jewish Edu¬
cational Alliance, 328 Barnard Street. We hope to announce
the new name of the paper in our next issue.

A STATEMENT
Statements covering the 1949-
50 dues of members of the Al¬
liance have been mailed out. We
want to re-emphasize one point
made 'in the letter accompany¬
ing the statements. EARLY
PAYMENT OF DUES IS URG¬
ENTLY NEEDED, because the
Alliance has no reserves with
which to begin its new year on
October 1. Its main, and prac¬
tically cnly, source cf support
comes from dues and without
payment of dues, it cannot
meet its obligations and con¬
tinue to render the high type
of service, to which its mem¬
bers are entitled and to which
they have become accustomed.
SO, PLEASE SEND IN
YOUR CHECKS FOR YOUR
1949-50 DUES NOW!
