to work for JDC; and whether on
the payroll or as a volunteer I
have done so ever since.”

2 Atlantan's Honored
By National ADL
Dore Schary, national chair
man of the Anti-Defamation
League of B’nai B’rith, an
nounced Tuesday a signal honor
for two of Atlanta’s distinguish
ed men. During proceedings of
the ADL’s 53rd annual meeting,
Abe Goldstein was named an
honorary life member of the
League’s National Commission.
“This is an honor which has been
accorded to but a few of our
Jewish leadership. Mr. Goldstein
has been so designated because
of his years of untiring service
to the Jewish community, be
cause of his concern for strength
ening democratic institutions,
and because of the wisdom and
devoted leadership upon which
we have come to depend.” Mr.
Scharv indicated that he had
been involved in numerous ADL
activities with Mr. Goldstein. “I
am particularly pleased that he
was chosen for this honor. We
look to him for continued leader-
shio.”
M William Breman is the oth-
r Atlantan honored at the ADL'
ieeting now underway in New
ork City. He was named a mem-
GOLDSTEIN BREMAN
ber of the Anti-Defamation Lea
gue’s National Commission, the
lay body composed of Jewish
leadership from throughout the
nation which determines ADL ac
tivity and policy. In making this
announcement, Mr. Schary re
called that Mr. Breman was
honored recently by the Atlanta
ADL Committee for his years of
dedicated service to the welfare
of Jewry. "The ADL National
Commission is indeed fortunate
to count these two individuals
among Jhose responsible for
formulating future League pro
grams. It is rewarding that they
choose the ADL as their means
of fostering a vision of the Great
Society.”

figure, who hr.s been officially
elevated to fill the post of presi

death of Michael Kraft.
Svlvan Makover takes over the
office of first vice president.
Actually, Mr. Siegel, as first
vice president, has been substi

since fall, due to the serious ill-
nos of his predecesor.
Mr. Siegel is a native Atlantan,

and Esther Siegel, members of
one of the pioneer families com
prising the forerunners of today’s
growing Jewish community.

School, Mr. Siegel attended Geor
gia Tech, where he was a mem
ber of Alpha Epsilon Pi fratern
ity, and Kappa Kappa Psi,
honorary fraternity. He was solo
cornetist with Tech’s ROTC
Military Band and the first or
chestra director of the Tech’s
Marionettes, a dramatic society.
He entered the advertising
world with the advertising de
partment of Sears, Roebuck & Co.
in 1926. He left the Company as
Southeastern Sales Manager in
1934 to return to Atlanta. He be
came the sales promotion man
ager of Lane Drug Chain before
establishing his own agency in
1936.
His agency a few years ago
became affiliated with the New
HARRY LANE SIEGEL
York based advertising agency,
Kastor. Foote. Hilton & Atherton,
which has branches in Atlanta,
Toronto and London. He is the
senior vice president.
A life-long member of Ahavath
Achim Congregation, he has seen
the membership move into its
third location in the past half a
century. He served with the
building committee during the
planning years and final com
pletion of the present edifice.
His wife is the former Elsie
Fein of Birmingham. Their two
daughters Gerry Sue and Marsha
are married and both reside in
Columbia, S. C.
MRS. ESKENAZI
