Communal Leader I. Heiman
Dies; Blood Bank Pioneer
Isadore Heiman, prominent in
Atlanta organizational circles and
a pioneer of the city’* award win
ning blood bank program, died
Friday, Feb. 25, at the age of 66.
The funeral was conducted No
vember 27 at Blanchard’s Chapel
by Rabbi Harry H. Epstein and
Cantor Isaac Goodfriend.
Graveside rites at Greenwood
Cemetery were conducted by Ful
ton Lodge, No. 26, F&AM, of
ficers, and by Rabbi Raphael
Gold.
A special squad of veterans
fired the traditional salvo over
the grave, followed by the play
ing of “taps.” Mr. Heiman’s
grandson Gary Heiman partici
pated in this final military tri
bute.
A native of Atlanta, Mr. Hei
man attended the University of
Georgia and was active in Tau
Epsilon Phi fraternity. He con
tinued his interest as an alumni
and inspired the creation of
scholarship funds to help young
men complete their education.
He held numerous positions with
the fraternity and became its na
tional president in 1959. He
founded the Tau Epsilon Phi
Scholarship and Student Aid
Fund and was twice president of
the fraternity’s alumni in Atlan
ta.
His zeal for the fraternity was
so great that on one occasion,
when a local chapter was about
to be removed from the campus
because of financial straits, he
personally gave each chapter
member a $100 bill, suggesting
that they match this contribution
In order to save the house. They
did.
A life-long member of Ahav-
rth Achim Congregation, he
served on the board of trustees
and as treasurer for many years.
He had been an active leader
with Atlanta Jewish Welfare
Fund campaigns.
He served as Worshipful Mas
ter of the Fulton Masonic Lodge
In 1930 and again in 1934. He
was the lodge’s trustee in the At
lanta Masonic Temple Company
«lnce 1935 and was one of the
prime movers in creation of the
new Masonic Temple on Peach
tree Road a few years ago.
The extent of his interest in
the Masonic lodge was demon-
started in his legendary record
of attendance at meetings. For a
period of 35 years, he did not
miss even a single lodge meeting
until he was taken ill last year.
The Masonic Home at Macon
was among Mr. Heiman’s special
interests. For many years, he per
sonally was instrumental in see
ing that numerous truck loads of
food was sent to this home. He
contributed a Grand Masters Cup
to the Grand Lodge for distribu
tion each year to the outstand
ing Masonic Lodge of the state.
A World War I veteran, Mr.
Heiman was a long time member
of American Legion Post No. 1
and recipient of several disting
uished service awards. He was
one of the founders of Post 112,
Jewish War Veterans of Amer
ica and in 1963 received the
order’s “Outstanding Citizen of
the Year” Award. He recently
served as service chairman of the
JWV’s national service office in
Atlanta.
Only a few days before his
passing, he was honored by the
JWV post with the crea'tibn of
the Isidore Heiman-Al Berger
Blood Service Trophy, a rotating
giant trophy the national JWV
will present each year to the
post which does the most out
standing work in blood produce-
ment. National JWV Commander
Mickey Waldor, in Atlanta for
the commander’s banquet, made
the presentation at his hospital
bed.
Mr. Heiman was extremely ac
tive in the American Red Cross
Blood Bank and was a founder
of the joint project of Fulton Ma
sonic Lodge and Post 112 which
has seen some 10.0000 pints of
blood collected during the past
two decades. Mr. Heiman was the
ardent chairman of the city-wide
blood bank campaign and himself
had donated more than five gal
lons.
He was for many years prom
inent in local business circles in
the wholesale meat packing in
dustry.
He is survived by his wife,
Bertha C' M.r Heiman; two sons
Leonard 1. Hour an and Rich
ard P. i m: h's mother, Mrs.

Students Sorry
For Nazi Garb
NEW YORK (JTA)— Student
leaders of Georgetown University
of Washington apologized formal
ly to New York University over
the appearance of a Georgetown
student dressed as a Nazi student
during a recent basketball game
here.
The apology was disclosed in a
joint statement by student leaders
of the two universities in which
the Georgetown students called
the incident one ‘Innocent in
origin but which had possibly of
fensive implications.” In accept
ing the apology New York Uni
versity students declared they
realized that “there was no mal
ice aforethought, or anti-Semi
tism intended.”
The Georgetown students add
ed that to guard against “unwont
ed defamation of any ethnic
group” and to “project an under
standing of the attitudes of the
students at Georgetown," they
would “discourage” repetition “of
an incident similar” to the one
that brought sharp complaints
from NYU students to heads of
the two universities. The state
ment emerged from a meeting
between representatives of the
two schools.
DEBORAH—RBG
Deborah, B’nai B’rith Girls had
a very interesting meeting
February 20 to recognize Bro
therhood Week. Each member of
the chapter brought a non-Jew
ish friend to the meeting. At the
meeting a play was presented,
“Some of My Best Friends”.
Written by Robert Crian, the
play deals with prejudice and
how it is disguised. The actors
were members of “Operation
Understanding”, a group founded
and sponsored by the Young
Women’s Christian Association to
promote better understanding be
tween teenagers of all races, re
ligions, and nationalities. Deborah
thought this was the appropriate
play to have presented during
Brotherhood Week. As was ex
pected the members and guests
enjoyed the meeting immensely
and profitted greatly by it.
