The boy problem is our greatest sin
gle problem. An asset or a liability, a
credit or a disgrace to the Jewish com
munity—that’s the alternative.
Force, violence will not solve the
problem of the boy. Moral preachment
and Bible classes will not solve it.
Constructive recreation will. Jewish
group activities will. 1 he discipline of
the physical education program will.
And while a program of recreation is
put across, Jewish education will not
be neglected. It will be made attrac
tive and socially acceptable.
Where is the material means and the
vision to make that a reality?
During 1929
In spite of a rotten floor, the basket
ball court attracted an attendance of
5,000 boys to attend games and basket
ball practice.
Game Room—The game room had an
enrollment of 128 boys and 28 girls,
who had paid a membership of 25 cents
each to belong. During 1929 the total
'game room attendance was approxi
mately 4,800 children and seniors. The
Boys’ Department had nine hoys’ clubs,
with a total membership of 164.
There is one Boy Scout Troop with
an enrollment of 18 boys. Our program
with girls was quite as extensive. There
were three Girl Scout Troops with an
enrollment of about 80 girls.
There was a Junior Dramatic Group.
There were organized four dancing
classes for children, juniors, and
seniors.
These activities do not include the
adult societies and lodges. The Audi
torium was used for lectures, concerts,
Young Judea programs, etc.
The Alliance Sunday School
The Jewish Educational Alliance
Sunday School had an enrollment of
150 pupils for 1928-1929, and 125 for
1929-1930. The decreasing registration
is accounted for by the opening of
an additional Congregational Sunday
School. It is our opinion that compe
tition has reached the Sunday School
field. The Alliance could very well
leave the field of Sunday School work
to the Congregations and it could prof
itably concentrate on other educational
activities.
Summer Activities
Our major project of summer ac
tivities was the Alliance Girls’ Camp,
conducted for two weeks at Camp Civi-
tania. Fifty-four girls were sent to
camp for a two weeks’ vacation. Each
paid $15 for the period. This was our
second season and proved successful
from every standpoint.
In connection with the work of the
Alliance, the outstanding, pressing, and
immediate need, is a new floor for the
basket ball court. The B nai B rith
Lodge saw the needs, realized the im
portance, and very generously contrib
uted $.300 to the fund. We still need
$1,500.
Civic and Community Relationship
The Federation, through its Execu
tive Director, has cooperated with the
Chest on every community project. In
addition your Executive has taken an
active interest in a variety of general
community and State social welfare
programs. He felt that the influence
of the Jewish Federation should be a
social force in the community. He has
also participated in the councils of a
number of Jewish National Agencies
of Social Service.
All of you know that the Atlanta
Community Chest failed to raise its
quota. The Federation has suffered a
cut of 20 per cent on its last year’s
appropriations.
We arc face to face with a serious
situation. No program of service can
be successful without adequate finan
cial support. Our only salvation is the
appeal for a Federation membership
as a source of permanent support.
Let us abandon the catch phrases
we hear about* us. Instead of “It can
not be done—It bas never been done
before—Let us postpone it and do it
later"—Let us resolve that it can he
done, that it has been done before,
if not here then elsewhere, and let us
do it now.
In conclusion permit me to extend
my thanks to the Board of Directors
and Committees of the Federation for
their loyal support and cooperation. I
wish especially to mention the invalu
able counsel of the President, Mr. L. H.
Moss, who has given me of his time
and interest and has been a source of
encouragement to me in my work; to
Mrs. A. L. Myers and the Council of
Jewish Women for friendly and gener
ous cooperation; to all the volunteer
workers too numerous to mention here;
and to the Administrative Staff who
have worked assiduously in the inter
est of promoting a more wholesome
and happier Jewish Community Life.
Respectfully submitted,
E. M. KAHN,
Executive Director.

Senior Hadassah of Macon
Sponsor Children's Program
In order to complete their year’s
quotas, Mrs. I. FT Kassncr, chairman
of the Milk Fund and Mrs. B. Duke,
chairman of the Penny Luncheon Fund,
sponsored a lawn festival May 8th, at
Mrs. Kassner’s home on Forsyth Street.
Everything was donated, and the oc
casion was a joyous one for the chil
dren, who tried their luck at winning
the toys and goodies. These chairmen
raised their respective quotas by this
means, giving.an incentive to the others
to do likewise.
