Personcil Problems

is a column designed to give pro-
fesgional advice to Jewish people about the kind of personal probqms

they have in their homes, in their private lives, in the care of their

children and in all the thousand and one cases

where a problem arises and has to be acted upon.

Dr. William Goldberg is
trained psychologist
with many years of experience in his field. Each

problem which he discusses is an actual one, but

the reasoning behind the answer is so universal

that any reader may understand it and apply the

same reasoning to problems of his own.

All readers are invited to submit their prob-

Editor-in-Chief

The editor-in-chief of the Chronicle is Louis W. Enfield. He was born in Detroit and has residtd hitt
most of his life. Since he has always been aware of community needs and community progress, his «h.
torials reflect his studies in this regard.

His background is in journalism, teaching and law. For two years, lie was a stu-
dent at a theological seminary in New York. Though he never attained the necessary
requirements of the rabbinate, nevertheless he has enough background in Jewish cul-

ture and lore to understand the problems in this respect and to maintain the proper
perspective necessary to carry out his obligations to the community.
Himself a liberal by training and inclination, his editorials follow a liberal, pro-

gressive policy which most Jews in this country feel is the proper American attitude.

Acting in accordance with the Chronicle policy of calling a spade a spade, these edi-
torials do not hesitate to chastise or to praise.

In time to come, Mr. Enfield will be available as a speaker for organizations who
wish to take advantage of the information that comes to him through the mail that is piled high on
his desk every day.

bers. Watch this column. Its popularity is on a steady upgrade.
