Although public opinion matter was divided it appeared le general feeling that the place e teaching was in the home e church. 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?

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.

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.
