destroy community good-will, group
confidence, co-operation, and social re
sponsibility as they express themselves
in social service agencies. Lack of
financial support will accomplish that.
These things that are so easy to
attain mean little when viewed in terms
of the mechanics of organization and
the external aspects of group life. But
stop and think and you will see these
standards as real living things. Trans
late them into terms of real life. They
mean standards of family life. They
mean standards of recreation for young
people. They mean standards of moral
growth and character of the younger
generation. They mean setting stand
ards for wholesome physical develop
ment. They mean standards which
will foster a healthy, happy, and normal
Jewish group life.
The Federation expresses the desires
and aspirations of Atlanta Jewry. It
represents the will of the community
by giving concrete expression to Jew
ish social responsibility for the less
fortunate. It aims to integrate the
social welfare program of the entire
Jewish group by giving it direction
and purpose. The Federation needs
your financial support. Will you come
to its aid now?
Morris Hirsch Clinic Opens Clinic
in Oral Hygiene
Extending the usefulness of its many
departments the Morris Hirsch Clinic
of the Federation opened a new clinic
in Dental Hygiene. This Clinic is con
ducted in connection with I)r. I. H.
Goldstein’s Dental Clinic. It is under
the direction of Miss Helen Abelson,
a graduate dental hygienist. Its main
function is to clean teeth and to teach
people how to keep their teeth clean
and free from decay.
Jewish Alliance Girls’ Camp Opens
Its Third Season
Under the auspices of the Jewish
Educational Alliance there opened on
August 3rd at Camp Civitania the Third
Camp Season. The camp is open to
Jewish Girl Scouts. This year the
season will extend for four weeks.
The first period of a two weeks’
vacation found fifty-five girls happily
housed in log cabins and huts eager
and enthusiastic for the activities of
the outdoors. There came girls from
Atlanta, LaGrange, Macon, Columbus,
Chattanooga, and Nashville.

PROFESSOR ALBERT EINSTEIN,
world-famous physicist and scientist, re
cently admitted that he is working on a
new theory, one more vast than his
Theory of Relativity. When asked about
the subject matter of his latest experi
ments he said it was more interesting than
his previous contributions to science, and
he feels that ‘‘maybe people will think I
am a fool when they read it”. Best known
for his work as a scientist, Professor
Einstein is giving much time now to the
problems of child education.
MRS. MYRTLE BLOCK, of Phila
delphia, is seeking to recover SI0.000
damages from Har Nebo Cemetery Com
pany for what she charges was improper
burial of her husband, Harry Block, who
died January 20, 1929. She declares that
that the body of her husband was mis
takenly interred by the cemetery company
in the wrong section, and that a month
later was reinterred in the proper burial
plot without her knowledge or without
compliance with religious rituals.
A staff of qualified counsellors was
there to greet them. AH of the coun
sellors are university students or grad
uates. They are experts in the activ
ities they direct.
The program consists of scouting,
nature study, handicrafts, hikes, ath
letics, swimming, and campfire program.
The main thing is living the outdoor
life. Of course there is good food and
plenty. The past two years the food
purchased was kosher, but the dishes
were not. This year a strictly kosher
kitchen was established. This was made
possible by the efforts of Mrs. T.
Geffen, the Sisterhood of Shear it h
Israel Congregation, and the work of
the Alliance Girl Scouts. Naturally
the Alliance Executive staff gave its
hearty approval and co-operation.
Joseph Cuba Heads Southern Young
Judaean Association
From August 3rd to 7th inclusive
there was held at the Jewish Educa
tional Alliance the eleventh annual con
vention of the Southern Young Ju
daean Association under the presi
dency of Louis Geffen.
One hundred seventy-five delegates
and visitors gathered here for this
assembly. They came from sixteen
cities and seven Southeastern States.
They had business to transact which,
at times, became as hot as the weather.
They had dates to keep. They had
affairs to attend.
All the delegates and visitors were
housed in private Jewish homes due
to the efforts of Miss Bessie Geffen
and Miss Sylvia Hirsch.
All the many social affairs were a
brilliant success. In between business
and social activities the convention
managed to get in three program
meetings. E. M. Kahn led three
round-table discussions on (1) Club
Programs, (2) The Technique of
Leadership, and (3) Club Leaders’
Problems.
After a very spirited election the
following were chosen to lead the
Association for 19.10-1931: President,
Joseph Cuba, of Atlanta; hirst Vice-
President, Miss Fannie Brener, New
Orleans; Second Vice-President, Mil-
ton Blank, Atlanta; Third Vice-Pres
ident, Miss Mildred Baron, Chatta
nooga; Recording Secretary, Miss
Sara Rotkow, Savannah; Corre
sponding Secretary, Miss Sylvia Hirsch,
Atlanta; Convention Secretary, Miss
Fruma Belle Winer, Chattanooga;
Treasurer, Sidney Parks, Atlanta;
Chairman Executive Committee, Miss
Edith Kohn, Savannah.
The next convention will be held in
Chattanooga. The Atlanta convention
was the largest in the history of the
Association. An Alumni Association
was formed at the convention.
