What is the Federation?
Why have a Federation?
y nt . Federation idea is comparative-
, r . w. It grew out of the needs of
t-ish philanthropic work for greater
. nknation of program and a more
«rTe.fiit and economical handling of
lr. 'he past, a number of small se-
-:;i> gave relief. Each was inde-
; Each did its work without
-a• ii to the other. There was dupli-
overlapping, little co-opera-
n among agencies.
Atlanta was like many other cities.
• had many small relief societies.
The increasing difficulty in raising
the rising tide of relief, and
•h. chest movement compelled these
mic.i ties to join forces and federate.
In many cities, particularly the
'arger centers, the Federation oper
ates as a Jewish Community Chest.
- a central fund—raising and dis-
nhiting organization. The constit
uent agencies retain their separate
astcree and autonomy. This is not
true of the smaller communities. In
the latter, the Federation is a func-
'amal organization. That is, in addi-
t:on to central financing, it does social
work direct.
The Atlanta Federation is of the
latter type. Its constituent agencies
are in reality departments, or divis-

ALLIANCE ACTIVITIES
Installation of Public Showers
Through the generosity of the At
lanta Section, of the Council of Jew
ish Women, under the leadership of
Mrs. Alfred Myers, the Alliance has
received the necessary funds with
which to complete the installation of
a large hot water storage tank and
heater. This will make possible the
use of showers by all those using the
Alliance Basketball Court. In ad
dition the showers will be open to the
public at certain designated hours.
Juniors and Alliance Club members
will be charged five cents for towel
service. Adults and outsiders will
be charged ten cents.
B’nai B’rith Shows Interest in
Alliance Boys’ Activities
The Gate City Lodge of the B’nai
Brith has shown marked interest in
the welfare of boys as regards their
leisuretime activities. Members of
the B’nai Brith were largely respons
ible for the building of the Alliance
Basketball Court. In this connection
we may mention the special services
of A1 Loeb and Milton Klein.
This basketball court has seen sev
eral years' of strenuous athletic ac
tivity. Now the floor is almost gone.
A new floor is imperative.
Once again the B’nai Brith Lodge
has shown its interest in boys’ work
at the Alliance, by pledging a substan
tial contribution toward the construc
tion of a new floor. Chest funds do
not provide for such an item. Special
contributions can make that possible.
A new floor for the Alliance Basket
ball Court is the premium on an in
surance policy against juvenile delin
quency, against idleness during spare
hours, and for the building of sound
physical manhood and good character.
