CHARITY BALL FOR JEWISH
NEEDY

Atlanta, Feb. 22.-EYplanation of

ties of which the Atlanta organiza-
ton is part, was embodied Wednes-
day i'll statement by Albert Hersko-
WITT, editor of the American Jewish
Review, which urged attendance up
on the eJwish charity ball March 8.
The statement, in part, follows:
The Jewish people of the city take
exclusive care of their own needy
cases through their own federation
Having thus assumed its share of the
city's burden in this respect, the Jew
ish people of Atlanta feel that they
may rightfully expect the general
public to enter intellectually into
the spirit of the annual charity ball.
which is to be held under the aus
pices of the Jewish charities, so that
as large a fund as possible may be
raised on this occasion to take care
of the cases which may arise.
The Jewish people of this country
have established system of fedora
ton which is destined to eventually
solve every charity problem which
may arise"
