Leaders Plan JNF
Dinner for Jan. 27
At a gathering of community
leaders held last week at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Al
terman Rabbi Harry H. Epstein
announced plans for a community
dinner in honor of the Jewish
National Fund, to be held on Jan
uary 27 at the Mayfair Club.
In making the announcement,
Rabbi Epstein, speaking in his ca
pacity of chairman of the Atlanta
Council of the Jewish National
Fund, called attention to the his
toric role of the Fund in the orig
ins of the State of Israel and in
the life of the Jewish people.
Stating that “the Jewish National
Fund is among the finest express
ions of our people’s aspiration to
restore and recreate the homeland
of Israel,” he recalled the signif
icant support in former years for
a “Nachlat Georgia,” and express
ed the belief that the Jewish com
munity of Atlanta still held warm
in its sentiments, the ideals which
inspired this support.
Similar announcement was made
last week at a meeting held under
the auspices of Congregation Or
Ve Shalom. Rabbi Joseph Cohen,
James Arogeti, president and
Joseph Franco, leading member of
the Congregation joined in a state
ment saying: “too little is known
about the unique and indispen
sable work of the Jewish National
Fund.” Speaking at the meeting,
Dr. Zev W. Kogan, special envoy
to the United States, described
the role of JNF in preparing the
land for new immigrants, in mak
ing land available for public and
private institutions and in the de
velopment of new border settle
ments for defense. Morris Rousso
chaired the meeting.
Because of her demonstrated
drive and energy, Mrs. Sidney
Cavalier is again serving as chair
man of the Special Individual
Gifts section in the Atlanta Cam
paign against polio
She has literally led a one-
woman campaign through the
years against this dread disease
and has addressed this letter in
behalf of her 1958 assignment:
Dear Friends,
“Survival is Not Enough” —
the 1958 slogan — is a true state
ment so far as Polio is concerned.
And polio is not finished, — not
yet. We have come a long way
in the past twenty years, the re
search program having giving us
the Salk vaccine as a preventive
against paralytic polio. But there
is much yet to be done.
Were you to make a visit with
me to a polio center — such as
our own Warm Springs Founda
tion — you would realize with a
lump in your throat that “surviv
al is not enough” when you see
the many boys and girls, young
men and young women, who have
years ahead of them in their
come-back program of rehabilita
tion. For these the Salk vaccine
came too late, and they are look
ing to us to sec them through.
We have two important objec
tives in this — the twentieth an
niversary of the National Foun
dation; first, to get e n o ugh
young people to obtain the Salk
vaccine to immunize them against
paralytic polio; and secondly, to
provide the very best medical
care to those stricken in previous
years to assure them maximum
rehabilitation.
These young people need our
encouragement, interest and love.
You can have a part in this tre
mendously important program by
giving generously to the March of
Dimes.
Your gift is important to the
continuance of the fine medical
program of the Fulton-DeKalb
Chapter of the National Founda
tion for Infantile Paralysis. So,
Edelstein, Canadian
Editor, Poet Dies
OTTAWA, (JTA) — Hyman
Edelstein, former editor of the
Montreal “Canadian Jewish
Chronicle,” a Canadian poet of
distinction of both Jewish and
English verse, and a well-known
journalist, died in Kingston. He
was 68 years old. He was editor
of the Canadian Jewish Times
1913-14, editor of the Canadian
Jewish Chronicle 1914-17 and
publisher of the Jewish Weekly
1917-18. He was the author of
“Canadian Lyrics and Other
Poems,” published in 1916 and re
published in 1921.
Richard Heiman of Miami is
spending the holidays with his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Isadore Hei
man, in Atlanta-
from a mother who has first
hand information and experience
what it means when polio strikes,
won’t you give generously and
gratefully because you and yours
may have been spared the perils
of polio?
Sincerely,
HELEN CAVALIER
Mrs. Sidney Cavalier, Chairman
Special Individual Gifts.
