MRS. FRANK NEELY PRESENTED
PLAQUE BY
The Atlanta section of the National
Council of Jewish Women held its an
nual meeting on May 6, in the vestry
,,f the temple. Mrs. Frank Neely, the
president, opened the meeting with a
prayer. The minutes of the last regu
lar and board meetings were read. The
treasurer’s report was given.
Mrs. Neely called on the officers
f,,r their annual reports. The report of
the treasurer was excellent both in
»hat the books were in excellent shape
as to system and accuracy, and the
organization in wonderful financial
condition.
Mrs. J. Sommerfield, chairman of
the Red Cross committee, reported
that aid was given the Red Cross by
the council for relief work and all
emergencies as well as constant work
at Hospital No. 48. The social service
committee, under Mrs. Maurice Jaco
bus, has had under its supervision
many cases whom the committee feels
have been greatly benefited by their
aid. Mrs. Max Gholstin in charge of
\ mericanization, has begun teaching
cooking to the foreign mothers as a
part of the Americanization, as she
feels that the more nearly like native
horn they become, the closer harmony
will be between mother and child and
fellow countrymen in the land of their
adoption. The work for the blind has
been ably done by Mrs. J. Bloom, who
has represented the council in this?’
work in connection with other civic
organizations; at present Mrs. Bloom
is working with the state in making
a survey of the situation. The council
library, under Mrs. B. Z. Phillips, made
an excellent showing for the year, both
MRS. HAAS
in interest taken in it and its financial
standing. Mrs. Leonard Haas has kept
the organization in touch with impor
tant legislation during the year so that
the membership would register and
vote at the appointed times; her plea
for talking and thinking peace has
ever been before the section.
All the remaining committee heads
made excellent and thorough reports.
Mrs. Neely, the outgoing president,
gave an excellent report. The report
consisted in a general resume of the
work done by her fellow officers and
a word of thanks to them for their
excellent co-operation. The report
pointed out to the membership what
the office had meant to her and what
exactly the council was doing.
Mrs. Leonard Haas then presented
a plaque to Mrs. Neely in appreciation
for her work done for the council for
the past five years. Mrs. Haas pointed
out that it is often said that an officer
takes an office to do honor to herself,
but with Mrs. Neely, she has truly
done honor to the office.
Mrs. Alfred Myers then took over
the office of president and made a
very charming short talk to the body.
Her fellow officers for the next year:
First vice-president, Mrs. Armand
Wyle, second vice-president, Mrs. Her
man Heyman; recording secretary,
Mrs. Cecil Alexander; corresponding
secretary, Mrs. Louise Aronstan;
treasurer, Mrs. ohn Herzfeld; auditor,
Mrs. William Bauer.
The meeting was adjourned and a
social hour was enjoyed by the mem
bership.

ALPHA EPSILON PI FRATERNI
TY ELECTED TO THE PAN-
HELLENIC COUNCIL AT
EMORY UNIVERSITY
Of interest to the Jewish people of
Atlanta and of the South was the re
cent announcement made by the Pan-
Hellenic council of Emory University
stating that the Alpha Epsilon Pi
Fraternity, national Jewish fraterni
ty, had been elected to that body.
The Epsilon chapter of Alpha Ep
silon Pi has been established on the
Fimory campus for nine years. The
Pan-Hellenic council, realizing the
necessity for a Jewish fraternity to
be represented in its group, chose to
elect the Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity
to its ranks.
The election of the Jewish fraterni
ty is another step toward recognition
of Jewish fraternities in American col
leges. The popularity of the Alpha
Epsilon Pi boys on the Flmory campus
was shown by several favorable edi
torials that appeared in the Emory
Wheel, the college weekly publication.

Essential to chic is a coppery coat of

that sunburn is available to all,

summer apparel and accessories the
prices, as always, are as low as the
