■» The Southern Israelite Page 15 ■ PROMINENT ATLANTAN JEWISH LEADER PASSES Harry L. Schlesinger, prominent an ,i widely known Atlantan, died re cently in Asbury Park, N. J. The be loved Atlanta philanthropist was known as a man of retiring nature, of unfailing modesty, of a broad vision for |he betterment of living and working conditions, of tender heart and willing hand when his neighbor or his fellow- man was in distress and poverty. Many years ago when others tied from .'he yellow fever belt of Brunswick, he rushed to the stricken inhabitants aid with solid trains of provisions; and performed a similar service when a cyclone struck Gainesville and left its citizens in suffering and destitu tion. Although active in civic, political, fraternal, and war work, charity was his guarding star through life. He ad vocated Atlanta’s first bond issue of a million dollars for a new city hall, bet- tor schools to train Atlanta youth, adequate sidewalks, paving and sew ers. He inaugurated the movement for the Saturday half-holiday, and waged a campaign in its behalf that attained >uccess. In appreciation of his interest and activity in behalf of labor, rail- load workers presented him with a handsome watch fob. The welfare of I workers being always foremost in his I mind, he inaugurated in his factory the first definite program of social welfare work ever undertaken in the South. In the great Atlanta fire of 1918, he displayed a tender heart and will ing hand by giving freely of his time, his energy, and his resources to bet ter the suffering of the helpless. In the cold of winter he would send coal and provisions to the city’s poor to warm and comfort and cheer them. By his intelligent and sincere work in admin istering and conserving food, he was "i great aid during the war to the American authorities in charge of this activity. He was an untiring worker in nu merous Jewish relief and social activi- tas, and in every way a generous kindly friend to all about him. U THOR OF FIRST YIDDISH GEOMETRY DIES Haris (J. T.
