Scanning the Jewish Horizon
(Continued from Page 4)
that from his diagnosis he found that you
are a poor man and that what your
condition needs is money.”
A 1-ace for livery Occasion
Syd Franklin, the Jewish bullfighter
from Brooklyn, gets more publicity in
the press than any other American civilian
living broad. His colorful life and his
mannerisms lend themselves to fine
stories. For example there is the most
recent one from Madrid, where he has
been staying for the bull-fighting season.
John Hays Hammond was introduced
to Franklin at one of the high-class
restaurants. Hammond looked closely at
the rather handsome features of this
Jewish boy and said that lie doubted that
Franklin was a bullfighter. Which
brought forth this explanation:
‘‘You just ought to see my face when a
hull is trying to get me!”
The lVarners Come Home
There is much excitement in Lynch
burg, Virginia, these days, on account of
the announcement that Warner Brothers
plan to invade the stat<; by the purchase
of a chain of movie houses and that one
of these will be located in Lynchburg.
The one most excited is Moses Eichel-
baum, which is only natural, since he is
the uncle of the Warner Brothers—Al,
Jack and Harry. Lynchburg is their
home town.
There arc still some residents of the
town who can remember back thirty years
ago when the Warner boys were hard
working fellows who made a living by
repairing shoes, peddling candy and fix
ing bicycles. Now that the fame of
Warner Brothers is to invade even
Lynchburg Mr. Kichelbaum sadly recalls
that many years ago his nephews offered
him a share in their modest movie busi
ness, hut he passed it up skeptically. Now,
when the junk business is not so good, he
wishes he had been more of an optimist.
Did You Know That
George S.‘ Kaufman, the playwright,
will soon make his stage debut on Broad
way in a leading role in “Once in a Life
time,” of which he is one of the co
authors ?
The "Daily Herald” of London, the or
gan of the British Labor Party, is now
owned by Julius Elias and that under his
ownership the paper’s circulation has in
creased by 750,000 readers?
George Jean Nathan regards Jed Har
ris ‘‘as the American theatre’s most
talented and most promising producer?”
Justice Louis D. Brandeis is planning
soon to announce some very large contri
butions to Palestine causes?
Isaac Goldberg is writing the life of
George Gershwin and the story of tin-pan
alley jazz, which will be published by a
big house next fall?
Julius Rosenwald of Chicago and Julius
Goldman, the New York banker, as well
as Ludwig Vogelstein, leader in the
Union of American Hebrew Congrega
tions, have thus far refused to make con
tributions to the Allied Jewish Campaign
on the ground that the cause of Palestine
is included?
That many years ago Dr. Stephen S.
Wise rejected the pulpit of Temple
Emanu-El of New York, considered the
most important in the country, because
he refused to let the board of directors
dictate what he should say?

What is the Federation?
(Continued from Page 5)
Morris Hirsch Clinic
The Clinic continues to function as
the health unit of the Federation. It is
operated on a non-sectarian basis.
Every Jewish Clinic and Hospital else
where is non-sectarian. The majority
of the patients are non-Jewish. To
this extent the Clinic performs a com
munity and civic service. About 30 per
cent are Jewish. During 1929 the ad
ministration of the Clinic was reor
ganized. The w r ord “FREE” was elimi
nated. A charge of 25 cents is made
for the first visit and 10 cents for every
visit thereafter. The nursing service
was reorganized. A new nurse was em
ployed and a registrar was employed to
take care of the clerical work and ad
mission of patients. With the previous
nurse ill for a few months, neverthe
less the Clinic managed to carry on its
usual functions. During 1929, 2,OCX) pa
tients were treated, 52 T and A opera
tions were performed, 197 eye exami
nations were made, 386 nose and throat
examinations were made, 392 cases of
Diseases of Women were treated, 20
pre-natal cases were treated, 540 gen
eral medical cases were treated, 284
children’s diseases were treated, 154
dental patients were treated, and 150
home visits were made.
The Clinic owes its success to the
efforts of the Medical Director, Dr.
J. E. Sommer field, and the competent
staff of volunteer physicians associated
with him in this project of community
health.
However, there is one aspect of the
Clinic which is very distressing to your
Executive Director.
On the stage an actor once asked
what w’as the difference between
vision and a sight. And the other an
swered, "The girl I was out with last
night was a vision. The girl you were
out with was a sight.”
If the work of the physicians and
the Clinic Staff may be regarded as a
vision, the Clinic building is a sight for
sore eyes. When will that sight be
made a vision?
The Jnoish Education Alliance
Viewed from the objectives of the
Federation, the work of the Alliance
may very well be put at the head of
the list. It is not a charity. It is the
self-respecting development of the com
munity’s standards and facilities for the
expression of its youth along recrea
tional and educational lines.
If the standards and facilities are
not high and inadequate it is the fault
of the community. We must educate
the community to a realization of the
needs for better facilities for whole
some recreation. Studies everywhere
point to the importance of the gymna
sium and swimming pool in a pro
gram of work with boys. Surplus en
ergy must be worked off. But it must
be guided into social channels or it
will, and often does, take destructive
forms.
Atlanta’s greatest need is a modern
Jewish Center. A place which will com
bine the best features of a club, yet
be open to the entire Jewish commu
nity. A place which, architecturally,
will be a cause for civic pride.
A physical plant which will provide
lodge rooms for adult societies, club
and class rooms for social and educa
tional activities, a large auditorium for
dramatics, dancing, lectures, concerts,
and other mass programs, and above
all else facilities for work with boys.
