Mrs. Meyers Gives Talk to Jewish Women At the regular council meeting held recently, Mrs. Alfred Myers, presi dent of the Atlanta section of the National Council of Jewish Women, gave an interesting account of the twelfth triennial convention of the council in Los Angeles, to which she was the delegate from this district. Mrs. Myers gave a brief but thor ough resume of the business conduct ed and of the elaborate entertainment afforded the delegates in all of which the outstanding theme was the cry for peace. Presidents of each chapter were urged to pool interests with other or ganizations to reach that goal for which the nations are now striving. Mr. Armand Wyle, superintendent of the Hebrew Orphans’ Home, ex plained his aim, in carrying out the work. He is striving to break down the traditional Orphans’ Home on the basis that proper child placement and careful subsid zing are more beneficial to the child than institutional life, no matter how efficient the institu tion. Mr. Wyle urged the members to aid him vjn locating the adequate homes for the children in which the housew’fe will be doing her service to mankind. Mr. Edwin Kahn, superintendent of the Jewish Educational Alliance, and host of the afternoon, addressed the council, complimenting the varied ac tivities of the council chapters, and the plea to the Atlanta section to broaden their outlook as well as their activity. He urged a change in at titude of mind toward the traditional community service, pointing out that today each individual can contribute his share through personal service, outs’de of contributing funds, and by working together in community proj ects.
