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.
