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. Southern Notes (Continued from Page 8i and for an encore recited "Mothers”.

Rabbi Max Shapiro gave a most interesting talk on “Mothers of Isreal, Past, Present and Future.” At the conclusion of the meeting enjoyable refreshments were served. 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.
