Welfare Fund Workers Urged to Complete
Calls; Uncontacted Persons Can Mail Gifts
With the return of General Co-Chairman Abe Goldstein to
Atlanta from his vacation, the 1947 Welfare Fund campaign has
been reactivated.
Mr. Goldstein is directing a continuation of following-up on
outstanding cards not yet turned in by colonels and captains.
He appealed to workers to do whatever is possible to contact
the cards they have so that the later task of the clean-up squads
will be facilitated.
“1 believe every Atlantian wishes to participate in the cam
paign,” Mr. Goldstein asserted. "Persons not contacted can mail in
contributions to the campaign headquarters, 614 Chamber of
Commerce Building."
With the impending liquidation of I’NKUA on June 30, the
burden of support facing the U-J.A. will be terrific, he reminded
the community. The need for casfi is enormous.

travel, and while the problems
which have developed In Europe
has grown to greater magnitude
with each passing day, still the
final solution of it all, looking at
the overall picture, is the reestab
lishment of a Jewish National
Commonwealth in Palestine. No
where else on the European con
tinent is there another spot which
offers even a semblance of future
security and peace.”
“Too many of us are Zionists at
heart, but we are failing In do
ing our share of the work to make
our dreams a reality. It is com
monly known that 95 per cent of
the Jews in America are in sym
pathy with the movement, but
only a small part of us partici
pate actively in the movement,
either by contributing work or
even being members of the
District. We are shutting our eyes
to our clear-cut obligation. We
must arouse ourselves to our du
ties. Only in this way can we
bring about a realization of our
dreams and aspirations at this
critical hour. If we fail now. to
morrow will be too late.” Mr. Ep
lan said.
An active campaign to increase
the membership of the Atlanta
District to its maximum, with a
goal set at 1,500 will be started
during the summer months.

"My baby needs n shot!” ‘Xin-
das lost weight!” "Little Susie’s

These arc just a few of the cries

tire Formwalt Baby Clinic.
Tills clinic, sponsored by the At
lanta Public Health and subsi
dized by the B’nai B'rith women,
gives medical Rdvice arid baby care
to young mothers who cannot af
ford a physician.
Ages of the mothers vary from
fourteen to forty. These women
anxiously look forward to the
“’lesday afternoon clinic. It is an
outlet from the dull routine of
their lives. The kindness and the
help they receive gives them added
hope that theii - children can be
brought up with the same medical
attention as the children that live
in better sections of the city.
A few classrooms at the school
building have been transformed
into a clinic facilitating reception
rooms, a place to take tempera
tures, weigh and measure babies,
quarters for the nurse to sterilize
needles and give vaccines, a drug
store, arid a doctor's office where
he examines the tots. It is amaz
