The Presidents Report.
The report of the president, Mr.. d.
f. Harlem, was as follows:
AS president of this organization for
the year 1920, l beg to submit here.
with an account of my stewardship
for the past year, AlthO only five
years old, the Central Jewish Aid So
ciety has grown from weakling into
a real, live, powerful pulsating or
ganization. 80 that while the prcsl.
dency was an empty honor, today it
is indeed privilege to fill that office.
Thru tliligent conscientious efforts,
this society has grown into an Organi.
zation that has done more effective
constructive work than was done in
any like period in the history Of Jew
ish relief in this city. BY and with
the aid of the most capable and ag-
gressive executive board that 1t has
been privileged the Central Jewish Aid
Society to enroll, supplemented by
admittedly the most efficient super
intendent to be found in relief work
anywhere, the Central Jewish Aid So
ciety has closed year that, for con-
structive relief work, and charitable
dispensation, will go down in the rec
ords Of Denver Jewry as an Outstand-
ing monument to our people, and serve
rs beacon light to show those who
come after us in this laudable WORK
what can be accomplished by sincere
and intelligent expenditures Of the
public's charitable donations. Tn"
dispensing of relief and the expendi-
tures on the more important construc-
tive work have occupied much Of our
time, attention and efforts. All cases
have received the most thorough in
vestigation by our office-staff. sup
plemented in most instances by the aid
Of one or more members or our execu-
tive board. so that the work OF our
organization has at no time been OF
the One-persOn variety. In addition to
the giving Of relief, we have thru our
Loan committee been instrumental IN
doing much noteworthy good by aid
ing those in temporary business need,
and our archives boast of some Won
derful instances of rehabilitation.
Another very important expansion
Of our work in the past year has been
the establishment of Child Welfare
Department under the guidance of an
experienced worker, whose sole duty
it is to aid, instruct and guide the
care and development of the children
along proper sanitary and education
al lines.
My stewardship of this organization
has convinced me also Of the need Of
another department whose efforts for
good are we'll nigh incalculable. !
