THEY CANNOT WAIT
Throughout the world, nearly three-quarters of a million
Jews are in desperate need of help.
A contributing factor to the emergency is the ending of
German reparations payments averaging more than $7,000,000
annually to the Joint Distribution Committee, the UJA agency
which provides welfare services for 400,000 needy Jews over
seas. This sum represented 25 per cent of the JDC’s normal
yearly budget.
It is up to the Jews of America to make good this large-
scale loss of funds so that a slowdown in aid programs with
its accompanying threat of human suffering can be averted.
The thousands upon thousands who have migrated to
Israel in the past four years—who still keep coming in a
steady tide—are anxious to get on with their new lives. They
need homes, jobs, education for their children, youth guidance
and training. They need special care for the aged and handi
capped.
Elsewhere in the world, in Europe and North Africa and
other areas, hundreds of thousands of destitute Jews need
relief, medical care, assistance of all kinds.
These are the needs that the United Jewish Appeal an
nually undertakes to meet through its fund raising campaigns.
In the 27 years since its founding in 1939, the UJA has carried
out tremendous life-saving and life-rebuilding programs for
more than 3,000,000 Jewish victims of war and oppression.
More than a billion and a half dollars has been raised by UJA
in those years. For 1965 the national goal is set at $109,400,000.
Communities all over the country—our own community in
cluded—are supporting local campaigns to help meet that goal.
But time is of the essence. The needy cannot wait. How
ask a sick child to wait? How ask an aged man or woman to
wait? How ask a family eager to rebuild their lives to wait?
Yet they will have to wait if pledges are not immediately
redeemed for cash. The agencies which UJA funds support—
the Jewish Agency for Israel, Inc., the Joint Distribution Com
mittee, the New York Association for New Americans, the
United Hias Service—cannot carry out their vital pcograms
without cash on hand A minimum of $40,000,000 is needed bv
June 30.
It is to be hoped that in view of this critical situation,
residents of our community will set the pace in turning every
pledge—which is a promise—into ready cash—which is a most
essential reality.
“Thirty” To Our Fortieth
With this issue, we conclude the emphasis on The
Southern Israelite’s Fortieth Anniversary. Actually, now that
we look back over the events which have highlighted the
celebration, it seems to have exceeded the bounds our modesty
likes to observe.
The experience has nevertheless been heady recognition
and we do express our appreciation for the manifold ways
so many of our readers, friends and advertisers found to indi
cate their recognition of this fourth decade landmark.
Some of the emphasis never would have taken place had
we not used the occasion to spearhead what has become a
historical convention for the American Jewish Press Associa
tion. Newsmen in Atlanta for the event will long remember
the occasion and the gracious hospitality of people in helping
the convention to become a success. Neither will the staff
of this publication.
And now, with the bunting and the pennants down, the
thank-yous going out shortly, we are quite pleased to return
to the week-by-week routine of the regular publication.

PRESENTATION OF PLAQUE TO ADOLPH ROSENBERG
May 20, 1965
The Jewish community of Atlanta has a long and well
established history. A good measure of its development a.-, a
vibrant and energetic Jewish community is the result of th>>
public image which has been created and for which Adolph
Rosenberg is to a large extent responsible.
Adolph is not a native of Atlanta, but he is very clo->e
to being one. First of all, he was born in the neighboring com
munity of Albany. Secondly, he has a long and good histoiy
as a local citizen and newspaperman, having come to the
community more than 30 years ago and having served on th>*
staff of the Constitution and Journal for a number of years
Some 25 years ago Adolph became associated with the
Southern Israelite as the Associate Editor. Except for a few
years during the war years when he served with the armed
forces, he has been continually identified with this important
newspaper.
In 1950 he helped develop a corporation of public com
munal leaders who bought The Southern Israelite and the
following year he became its publisher and editor.
The importance of any Anglo-Jewish paper in a com
munity is well-known to all of you editors and publishers
who are having your annual meeting for the first time in
Atlanta, but what is less known here, and only because of
the self-effacing character of Adolph, is his unique contribu
tions to our own Jewish community during his many years of
service in publishing the Southern Israelite.
His interpretation of national, regional and local events
has provided this community with a much better understand
ing of the issues which we face.
In his own quiet way his was the newspaper which in the
earlier years when it was not fashionable, was able through
his newspaper to bring about a more favorable climate of
opinion in regard to the problem of desegregation.
Above all that, his was the voice in the early years which
presented issues on Zionist aspirations which were not
popular at the time.
I know I need not tell the leadership of our own com
munity present tonight how Adolph has been helpful in
publicizing every drive of the Jewish Welfare Fund, how he
has helped to interpret the needs and problems of the Jewish
community and its aspirations; and how helpful he has been
to all of the Jewish organizations in publicizing their pro
grams and meetings week after week.
For these reasons and for many more the Jewish Com
munity Council takes pleasure in presenting to him this
plaque which reads as follows:
