sah has grown so that now it consists of
300 chapters, with a total membership of
forty thousand. I he work of the senior

ditions attendant on poor sanitary con
ditions and prevalent diseases.

tion as a separate unit in 1923, remark
able benefits have been noted from the
work in caring for Jewish orphans in
Palestine, Mrs. Heilman said. Increase
of the budget of the junior order from
$12,500 to the present of more than $40,-
000 has enabled the group to care for a
large number of children, who are given
special training in agriculture.

Atlanta, president; Mrs. Ilarrv Weiner,

solemnized in the spring.

Council of Jewish IT omen
The Council of Jewish Women held a
tea at their regular January meeting in
honor of Miss Sara Landman, Held secre
tary of the National Council, guest
speaker. Miss Landman, who is actively
identified with Council work, brought the
Atlanta section many important and in
spiring ideas.
Of particular interest was her brief
summary of the projects the National
Council has sponsored during the forty
years of its existence. The first problem
was that of white slave traffic on Ellis
Island, involving Jewish immigrants.
Next was the question of disposing of the
45,000 Jews that were homeless as a re
sult of the quota law, and who were
cared for in C uba and Mexico. Work in
the farm and rural districts with the
Mrs. Rose Halprin, of New York,
national vice-president of Hadas
sah, who was guest speaker at the
ret ml Southern Regional Confer
ence held in Atlanta.
Jewish farmers has been a continuous
condition to remedy
More recently there has arisen the
question of alien registration, which in
volves a deportation. Miss Landman was
very anxious that each Council section do
as much as possible on citizenship work.
Another problem that is of serious im
portance, especially during the unemploy
ment crises, is that of vocational guid
ance. While the National Council is fur
thering work in this department, Miss
Landman urged that the individual sec
tions do their part to broaden this field
of activity. After the address, tea was
served to the members and their friends.
Hostesses for the tea were Mesdames
