A Forward Step in
Communal Work
CENTRAL JEWISH AID AFFILl.
ATES WITH DENVER FED
GRATED CHARITIES.

One step forward has been taken
in Communal work in the city this
week when at special meeting of the
subscribers of the Central Jewish Aid
society they voted to affiliate them
selves with the Denver Federated
Charities. This Federation is compos'
cd of most of the societies and institu
tions for relief in the city.
Its object is to gather funds fol-
the support OF its affiliated organiza'
tons. The Federated Charities will
make one large drive thru the whole
city. All crecds contribute and the
money is put into Il common fund
This Is then divided into the various
budgets of the different societies. The
Central Jewish Aid society will re-
ccive $4,000 for the year 1919, mp,
proximately $1,000 in excess over tho
amount it collected in 1918. 1t is
also $1,000 more than any specified
budget of any other organization In
the Federation.
Aht SthtLah ''''N'>'s
which is the only outdoor Jewish re-
lief giving agency in Denver. will not
in any way lose its autonomy and will
continue its loan department as in the
past.
Each subscriber to the Federation is
urged by the Central Jewish Aid So
cicty to increase his subscription. max
ing it as large as possible so that the
Federation will be amply supplied with
funds. None of the other Jewish or
ganizations but the Central Jewish Aid
have Joined the Federation.
Raising funds for n relief agency is
n very arduous part Of the work of
an organization, and as this will be
done for the society, it can devote all
OF its energies to constructive social
service work.
1t has always worked along these
lines but has been handicapped by the
luck of funds and workers. ~
Itis now formulating plans for broad
social activities. which will be very
beneficial and do much preventive
work. This plan has been tried with
great success in Louisville. ny.
