This Precious Privilege
If it were not our privilege to go to the polls ... if
Jews were barred because of religion, then what a howl
would ensue from our readership.
The right to political expression however is not denied
us. Yet how many of us are actually registered. How many
of us are prepared to exercise the democratic right to vote
when the time comes? This applies particularly to men and
women who have changed their residence from one state
to another—or from one county to another and have not
bothered to take time out to register.
The Southern Israelite joins the many organizations
which are urging everyone who can to register and be
prepared to express their political preference when the
time comes.
Georgians must accomplish registration before May 3,
Tennesseeans by July 18 in counties over 2,500 and July
28 for the others, South Carolinians by June 7, Alabamans
mostly by April 21 and Floridians by April 5. Persons in
doubt can secure necessary data from their city hall or
court house. But one thing applies to all. Time is of the es
sence and if we are to be squared away to participate in
this fall’s elections, we must act promptly.
“Remember, your vote won’t register if you don’t.”
Real Spirit in Savannah
Savannah leaders have demonstrated courageous de
termination in setting the goal of the United Jewish Ap
peal and Federation at $300,000.
This is more than the amount raised last year when
“the many humanitarian and cultural causes had to swal
low the bitter pill of receiving less than their just share
from our community. In setting the goal of $300,000, the
leaders of Savannah did so out of the solemn conviction
that our responsibilities as a community, sensitized to the
highest Jewish charitable and cultural values, will not al
low us to continue to keep the campaign’s beneficiary agen
cies at a mere subsistence level . . .”
Jack M. Levy is general chairman of the Savannah
effort with Albert Tenenbaum as chief deputy. Both are
veteran campaigners—but more importantly they reflect
the vigor which their community advances to back worth
while movements.

I)R. JORGE GRANADOS
Dr. Granados has just returned
from a trip to Israel, in whose
behalf he made diplomatic his
tory during the fateful United
Nations deliberations which end
ed in the partition of Palestine.
Few diplomats on the current
scene have had such a fighting
record in behalf of Democracy as
Dr. Granados. He has been im
prisoned, exiled and oppressed
in the fight for his own country’s
freedom. He has been as ardent
a champion of liberty for other
countries.
