THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE
Pag# Ebvan
Atlanta’s Jewish Family and
Children’s Bureau
Part One
By VIDA GOLDOAR
The passage of almost 80 years
has brought some fantastic
changes to the City of Atlanta,
and to its Jewish community.
Many of these changes have been
reflected in the changing char
acter of the Jewish Family and
Children’s Bureau, oldest of the
Jewish service agencies now com
prising the Atlanta Jewish Wel
fare Federation.
What has not changed, is the
Bureau’s emphasis on the
strengthening of Jewish family
life.
Back in 1890, it was known as
the Montefiore Relief Assn, with
primary emphasis, during the
peak immigration years, on help
ing the refugee make a fresh
start in a new land.
Gradually, the number of ref
ugees being resettled decreased
but the increasing complexities of
the changing world had its impact
on the adjustment of individuals
and families who often needed
professional help to deal with
their problems.
Today, prof essional social
workers are required to have a
masters degree from an accred
ited School of Social Work and

the Ben Massell Dental Clinic,
operates under the Social Serv
ice Department. Leonard Cohen
is its director.
Mr. Cohen said the change in
operation is more or less an ad
ministrative one and has not
changed the Bureau’s functions.
He stressed that the agency and
its staff are fully aware of their
responsibility and those seeking
help can be assured that all in
formation is received in confi
dence.
The Bureau, which is -current
ly engaged In developing a group
therapy program, provides a pro
gram of personal service and
oounseling for Jewish families
and individuals with trained case
work services. The program in
cludes marital, parent-child re
lationship, child behavioral prob
lems and individual adult adjust
ment programs. Counseling and
other services are also available
to aged in the community as well
as in the Jewish Home for the
Aged.
With a knowledge of commun
ity resources, the agency is fre
quently able to be of assistance
in situations involving mental
and physical illness and can help
in arranging for medical and
nursing care.
Among its other services is a
program of temporary financial
assistance far those who may be
ineligible for public assistance,
and limited help is also avail
able to the Jewish transient.
Jewish prisoners in the Fed
eral Penitentiary and elsewhere
sometimes call upon the agency
for help, especially concerning
problems of adjustment of their
families. The agency is able to
involve other agencies in com
munities where their families
reside to assist them and to pro
vide reports to ease the worry
of the prisoner.
(These are a few of the serv
ices provided by the Jewish Fam
ily and Children’s Bureau. Addi
tional services available will be
outlined in future issues.)

SIDNEY MARCUS
Sidney J. Marcus, secretary-
treasurer of the E&M Construc
tion Company and vice president
of S&E Aluminum & Glass Com
pany, has announced his candi-.
dacy for state representative from
Fulton County District 105 in the
democratic primary on Septem
ber 11. He is opposed by Nick
Lambros.
Marcus, 40, has been a resi
dent of the 105th district for 28
years. He attended Bass Junior
High, Boys’ High, and Was grad
uated from the University of
Georgia and Emory University,
where he received his law de
gree.
“I am a firm believer in the
concept of representation by dis
trict. I believe this is the most
sensible and practical way of
bringing the government closer to
the people. Our own district 105,
which extends from Lenox Square
through Momingside and into
Edgewood, has all of the poten
tial and all of the problems which
are plaguing big cities at the pre
sent time. I propose an even
closer representation for our dis
trict since, in my opinion, our dis
trict has not been ably, fairly, and
consistently represented in the
state legislature. I am also con
cerned that the city of Atlanta
has not been as well represented
as it should have been by our
present representative,” Marcus
said.

Pi social fraternity and Phi Del

number of Arab students cross
ing from Jordan to spend the
holidays with their families on
the West Bank rose sharply the
latter part of last week and aver
aged 200 daily as against the 50

was the result of the Jordanian

it would exchange passports

Other Arab nations do no* honnr
