At the Switzerland House on
September 17, at 7 p. m., a kosher
banquet will be held to launch
the fund drive for the new $2,-
000,000 Jewish Home to be erect
ed in Atlanta.
Featured speaker of the even
ing will be Morris Zelditch, con
sultant of community services,
Council of Jewish Federations
and Welfare Fund, N.Y.C. His
subject will be “A Modem Jew
ish Home for Now and Tomor
row.”
Rabbi Harry H. Epstein will

cob M. Rothschild will give the
benediction. Other speakers will
be M. William Breman, presi
dent of the Central Board on
Care of Jewish Aged, Dan Gar-
son, chairman of the fund-rais
ing committee, and Joseph Cuba,
chairman of the building end
planning committee.
The new Jewish Home will be
located on a beautifully wooded
site at Howell Mill Road and
Margaret Mitchell Drive in the
northwest section of Atlanta,
readily accessible to the North
west Expressway. The site mea
sures 10*£ acres, which will al
low for landscaping planned for
both beauty and privacy. Resi
dents will be able to stroll the
paths of secluded gardens with
out being observed by those out
side the grounds.
-The new building will be a
pilot model of institutions of its
type. A special committee of ex
perts toured several cities to in
spect similar homes, and it was
Presidents
only after extensive investigation
and numerous conferences that
the architectural plans end layout
were made definitive.
The Home will have 120 beds,
but emphasis will be on personal
and individual attention. Moat
residents will have commodious
single rooms with private lava
tories. There will be a beautiful
synagogue, an auditorium for lec
tures and shows, a well-stocked
library, a beauty parlor and bar
ber shop. A gleaming, kitchen-
of-tomorrow will serve delicious
Kosher meals to a dining room
with an intimate home atmos
phere.
The medical plant will be as
outstanding as any in the finest
hospitals. With the latest scien
tific equipment at hand, residents
will be able to secure medical
and dental treatment, podiatry,
X-ray and complete laboratory
services, right on the premises.
Plans even include a pharmacy,
so that prescriptions cm be in
stantly filled.
Occupational and physical ther
apy will be brought directly to
those patients who are not suf
ficiently ambulatory to take ad
vantage of centrally located fa
cilities.
With all of the advantages of
the new kitchen at hand, the
Challah baking program, which
has been so successful, will be
enlarged to provide other home
made delicacies for those living
in the Home. Recreational pro
grams will also be expanded to
provide residents with a pleasant
and stimulating social atmos
phere.
“The new Jewish Home,” said
Mr. Breman, as he announced
the forthcoming campaign, “will
incorporate the very latest in des
ign and equipment to offer, in a
homey and pleasant environment,
the finest care and services for
our Jewish elderly.”
“The Home,” continued Mr.
Breman, “though modem in every
respect, will concentrate on re
taining the finest elements of •. re
vered Jewish traditon and cul
ture.”
The original Jewish Home for
the aged was started through
Frank Garson, founder of Lovable
Brassiere Vo., who gave unstint-
ingly of his time, effort and per
sonal funds to bring about the
realization of his dream for an
Atlanta center for Jewish aged.
His son, Dan Garson, is expand
ing his father’s dream by spear
heading the drive for a new and
larger Home which wll serve not
only Atlanta, but the entire state
of Georgia and Charleston, S. C.
FLAG-RAISING ceremonies heralded opening of the new school term
for pupils of the Hebrew Academy of Atlanta. The all-day bi-lingual
school has a new principal—Ephraim Frankel.
