The Southern Israelite
Brunswick, under the chairmanship
of Fred Pfieffer, announced that they
had pledged $909.00. Up to the time
of going to press Brunswick has paid
into state headquarters $898.16.
Carrollton, with only four Jewish
families, were given a quota of
$250.00, and Mr. Moore accepted the
Chairmanship. A few days later Mr.
Moore walked into state headquarters
and announced Carrollton had pledged
$715.00.
The Quarry Center of the south, El-
berton, again lead by the same won
derful workers as in the past, namely,
Joe Cohen and Abe Paitz, announced
that on its $500.00 quota Elberton had
subscribed $579.00. State Headquar
ters to date announces that Elberton
has paid up $539.00.
The former State Chairman, Ar-
mand May, accepted the Chairman
ship for Atlanta, and immediately
brought into play that same inspira
tion that so personified his leadership
in previous campaigns. Mr. May at
once set up a City Wide Organization,
his committee numbering men and wo
men of prominence in charitable work
in the City of Atlanta and among who
were Frank Lowenstein, Max Lowen-
stein, V. H. Kriegshaber, Ben C.
Fineberg, Dr. H. J. Kosenberg, Rabbi
[ David B. Marx, Herbert Haas, Leon
ard Haas, Leopold J. Haas, Dr. and
Mrs. Ben Wildauer, Mrs. Benjamin
Z. PhJlips, Miss Clemintine Haas,
Harry Pfeffer, Hyman S. Jacobs, Joe
Goldberg, Joe Wolf, L. T. Elsas, Ju
lian Boehm, Jake Jacobs, the late
Morris Lichtenstein, Rabbi Tobias
Geffen, Rabbi A. P. Hermes, Albert
Mayer, L. J. Levitas, Max F. Gold
stein, Milton Klein, Marcus Loeb,
Frank Neely, Jake Wilensky and
others.
To date the City of Atlanta has paid
$51,881.87 against its total pledges of
$76,222.76, with Mr. Leonard Haas,
State Treasurer, hoping that all of the
unpaid balance will be paid up early
in May. At this time one cannot pass
without mentioning the wonderful co
operation that the State and National
Committee have received from Miss
Margaret E. Griffin who has acted as
Assistant to the State Treasurer for
Georgia. At all times she has been on
the job ready and willing to do her
share for this noble cause.
Atlanta also feels honored that
when Mr. David A. Brown, National
Chairman announced his field staff the
name of A. D. G. Cohn then practic
ing law in this city, was given the
post of Southern Field Director. Mr.
Cohn is still with the National staff
and has traveled in many states for
this cause.
EINSTEIN’S WORK ON RELATIV
ITY IRANSLATED INTO HEBREW
Jerusalem (J. T. A.)—The theory of
relativity as expounded by Dr. Albert
Einstein in his principal work, was
presented in a Hebrew garb, in a
translation published by the Dvir,
Hebrew publishing house headed by
the poet, Chaim Nachman Bialik.
The author, in a preface written es
pecially for the Hebrew edition, de
clares that he is happy that his work
has been translated into Hebrew. This
shows that the Hebrew language is
exceeding purely national limits, and
that the sphere of Hebrew culture is
being enlarged.
Will You Be The Jacob M. Loeb
Of Your Community?
An Appeal by David A. Brown
When Jacob M. Loeb, our splendid
United Jewish Campaign Chairman
| for Chicago, read in the newspapers
I on February 27th that the Joint Dis
tribution Committee had appropriated
$310,000 to relieve the terrible calami
ties that are causing such untold suf
fering to the Jews of Bessarabia, Po
land, Moldavia and other Eastern Eu
ropean countries and would have to
borrow the money unless the United
\ Jewish Campaign collections were
speeded up, he sprang into action in
his characteristic manner.
He wired me that Chicago was send-
I ing $150,000.
fhis $150,000 by the way made
| Chicago’s payments to the United
Jewish Campaign exactly 100% of its
j pledge of $1,000,000. Thus Chicago
has become the first city in the mil-
non-dollar class to complete its quo+a.
Hut these facts are just “by the
way” so to speak.
The great point is that Chicago, led
y Jac °b M. Loeb, having heard the
er y. has answered it.
What other city, what other com
munity, also having heard the call,
" 1 answer it in the same splendid
manner?
A 0U ^ ave rea d about Europe’s ter-
11 e winter—the most terrible in a
en ury and more. You can readily
understand that the Jews, not yet re-
ccnered from all the disasters of the
* en years ’ are the greatest
ers from this brutally cruel win-
Af' j ter hunger, freezing cold—
> - down - below - zero-freezing-cold—
has been their lot during this appall
ing winter of 1928-29.
More calamities are in store. When
the ice begins to melt, every river will
be turned into a roaring flood work
ing untold ruin, rendering thousands
upon thousands homeless, spreading
disease and death. Dr. Kahn, Euro
pean Director of the Joint Distribu
tion Committee, whose heart rend
ing pleas for our people overseas
caused the advance by it of $310,000,
is alarmed over the new suffering he
is afraid is in store for them soon.
The Joint Distribution Committee
must be prepared—must be as ready
as the Red Cross in time of general
disaster—so that if what is feared ac
tually happens it can act quickly to
help, to save!
But it cannot be, will not be, unless
there are many more Chicagos, many
more Jacob Loebs; many more thou
sands, hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, collected on pledges or advanced
against pledges, are rushed into the
treasury of the Joint Distribution
Committee.
There is a limit to what it can bor
row from the banks.
But there is no limit to what can
be paid in by communities right now.
Won’t you be another Jacob Loeb
—won’t your community be another
Chicago? Won’t you send in at once
the largest amount possible even if it
is an advance against pledges so that
the Joint Distribution Committee can
be ready?
