GOOD Will AT WORK
AMONG new YORK WOMEN

NEW YORK, Mar. 13-There is
a house up in the east Bronx, New
York, which thousands of Negro
boys and girls think of as kind of
second home" 1t is Council House,
a community center operated by
the New York section of the Coun-
Gil of Jewish Women, where young
sters 60 every day to have fun to-
gether under the guidance of teach
ers and social workers.
The story of Council House had
its beginning in 1929, when the
Council of Jewish Women recog-
nized that a community center was
needed to serve the underprivi-
legged Jewish people of the east
Bronx. A large modern building
was erected to provide extensive
social, recreational and educational
facilities, and a constructive pro-
gram was developed to keep chill
dren off the streets. From the start,
it was the policy of the House to
welcome people Of all races, colors
and creeds.
Within the past few years, the
population surrounding Council
House has changed: the neighbOr-
hood is now composed almost en-
tirely of Negro residents. Here was
an opportunity for a practical
demonstration of good will. Instead
of transferring its activities to an

other area, the National Council of

other area, the National Council of
Jewish Women continued to oper-
ate the House, feeling that the
need for center of this kind must
be met. After consultation with
Negro and white leaders, it was
decided to broaden the sponsor
ship and change the name to For
est House. An interracial commit
tee was formed, with Negro and
white, Protestant, Catholic and
Jewish members. To this Board of
Managers, the Council of Jewish
Women is turning over the land,
building and equipment valued at
a quarter of a million dollars. The
Council will also contribute toward
the financial support of the insti-
tuition for the next two years.
This move has been hailed by Ne
gro and white leaders as a magni-
ficent example of mutual under
standing at a time when the en-
emies of democracy are attempting
to SOW prejudice and disunity
among racial and religious groups.
The eager response of the COM
munity is evident to anyone who
visits the House. The building
huns with activity from early
morning through the evening; but
the big rush begins when school
lets out. When the after-school
crowd arrives, they have a snack,
perhaps a glass of milk and some
cookies, and then they're off to
their activities.
The popularity of the House may
be judged by the fact that in the
past year attendance has doubled
Last year the House served the
children of 1000 families, and the
list Of registered members is still
increasing by leaps and bounds.
Miss Lillian Strauss, who has
been director since 1880, says,
eve want the people of the neigh
borhood to feel that Council House
is here to serve them, that is is a
place where they are received with
affection and understanding, and
where they can have fun and
wholesome recreation"
