KAHN Executive Directory Atlanta Federation of Jewish Charities Federation Relief Department January and February have been heavy months. Business conditions and unemployment have caused an in creased case load or have depleted family resources in cases where the Federation merely supplemented in sufficient income. During January the Social Service Department of the Federation hnd under its care the following cases: Relief cases 30 Service cases 24 Transients (relief service) 28 Miscellaneous and incidental serv ice 32 Total active cases — individuals and families 114 For February, 1930 Relief 28 Service 24 Transients 19 Miscellaneous and incidental serv ice 26 Total under-care cases 97 The foregoing figures indicate the volume of work, but do not and can not show the myriad problems of family life which had to be consider ed—low wages, health, mental defi ciency, desertion, unemployment, problems of behavior, finding individ ual and community resources to cope FEDERATION MEMBERSHIP ROLL CALL Plans are being woked out for the launching of an extensive Federation membership enrollment. The failure of the Community Chest to raise suf ficient funds with which to finance adequately the chest agencies has placed the Federation in a serious predicament. Either it must devise immediate ways and means of raising additional income or it will be com pelled to curtail materially its intake of relief cases, shut down some of the Alliance activities, and in general re trench all along the line. The officers and staff of the Fed eration have one thought in mind, how to serve the best interests of the Jew ish community of Atlanta. With this in view they place the problem squarely before Atlanta Jewry. Which choice shall it be—cut serv ice or increase income ? This will not be a campaign or drive for special contributions. No one will be driven to do anything. No one will be placed under the spell of high pressure salesmanship. Special contributions and donations are good, but they are not enough. The Chest allowed the Federation last year a sum insufficient to meet all its needs. This year it did worse. It cut last year's budget twenty per cent, thereby endangering the very exist ence of Federation work. The pres ent Chest appropriation means a con tinuous operating deficit of five hun dred dollars a month. This leaving out of consideration necessary expan sion and growth. An institution must grow. It can not stand still and hope to live. If the Jewish community of Atlanta is to prosper and live and grow, its in stitutions must do likewise. To make this possible a source of permanent income and interest must be found. Everywhere the plan found most successful is one that calls for a permanent membership with annual renewals. Different clas sifications of membership make for democratic organization, the mini mum dues being as low as five dol lars a year. Atlanta has established an excel lent record in pledging and paying its obligations toward war stricken, im poverished, European and Palestine Jewry. We know that Atlanta Jewry will meet the challenge of allied ef fort for reconstruction work in Po land, Russia and Palestine. Here is a local need that chal lenges your immediate attention. The writer feels confident that this chal lenge will be met fully and now. Let a united effort face our communal problems and the word failure will be driven out of Atlanta. Federation StafT Council To coordinate the work of the va rious departments of Federation ac tivity, the administration staff has or ganized into a staff council. This council meets weekly to hear reports and to consider difficult problems faced by the heads of department*. with situations are but a number of the many problems which a social case worker must edeavor to adjust and solve.
