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?
