Forthcoming Educational Emphasis Workshop
Jewish schools of Atlanta will cooperate with the Atlanta
Bureau of Jewish Education on February 24 and 25 in spon
soring a series of workshops calculated at improvement of
educational facilities for the community’s youth.
Schools conducted hy congregations and other groups will
suspend classes on both days in order that the full staffs may
participate in the institute workshops designed at raising the
level of Jewish education. Rabbi Hyman Chanover, director
of field services and personnel for the American Association
for Jewish Education, will be on hand as consultant and par
ticipant. Parents are especially invited to hear him at the
Sunday evening session at the Ahavath Achim Educational
Center which will be devoted to “You, Your Child and Your
School.”
The Southern Israelite, in recognition of the event, has been
pleased to devote special space* in last week’s and this week’s
editions. We congratulate the School and Bureau officials in
planning such an event and take this occasion also to salute
the staff members, who so often sacrificially devote their time
and energies to teaching in order to provide the high caliber
of instructions afforded in Atlanta’s schools.
Indications are that neighboring communities recognizing
the importance of the institute workshops will also cancel
their classes so that staffs can be present in Atlanta for as
many of the sessions as possible.
Such interest evidences the deep seated desire among
Southern communities being made available for our Jewish
youth.
No better possibility exists than our religious schools to
deepen the Jewish values so essential to the proper continuity
and continuation of Judaism in this country and our leadership
deserve support and praise for such efforts.
Support Heart Fund Campaigns
Few causes of disabilities and fatalities have of late years
come so violently to the public’s attention as have heart diffi
culties.
Focused by the trouble experienced in this regard by Pres
ident Eisenhower himself and by the mounting toll of victims
in our aging society, this illness is receiving the growing at
tention of individuals and groups alike. It is encouraging that
the public campaigns to secure funds with which to conquer
this illness are broadening their scope to become more ef
fective in furnishing means for research and treatment in
public clinics throughout the land.
Truly, this is a disease which is likely to effect every family
sooner or later and the greater emphasis which can be placed
on understanding and controlling the causes the more poten
tials will be developed to eventually minimize the number of
victims of heart diseases.
We join with the capable leadership tackling this problem
in urging individual contributions in support of heart funds
in all communities. Contributions can be addressed “Heart
Fund, Care local Postmaster.” These should be promptly
dispatched.

ARREST
—Continued from Page 1
the JTA challenged the Soviet
version of Wallenberg’s death in
several respects. The Swedish dip
lomat was never in the Lubianka
prison as alleged by the Soviet
note, which ended the long mys
tery of his disappearance. Mr.
Wallenstein said he and the dip
lomat were inmates of Leffortos-
kava prison, which is also in Mos
cow. When the two men, who
had met through business con
tacts in Bucharest, found them
selves in the same prison, they
maintained constant communica
tion through knocking signals
and other ways.
The German businessman said
that their state of health was a
perennial topic for exchanges of
messages and that the diplomat
had never complained about
heart failure. Mr. Wallenstein
said he had been sentenced for
“espionage” by the Russians and
later released and permitted to
return to Germany.
Tribute to the Swedish diplo
mat was paid in the Israel Par
liament by Rabbi Mordeeai Nu-
roek who described him as “an
angel of salvation” for his unique
life-saving mission in Nazi-occu
pied Hungary.
Hears Fund Leader
