and old people in the community
at large, the board of governors
of the Jewish Welfare Federa-
tion has approved the appoint-
ment of a full-time worker who
will divide his time between the
Home for Aged and the Jewish
Community Center, Julian H.
Krolik, Federation president, an-
nounced.
The approval came as the re-
sult of a recommendation by the
subcommittee on aged and chronic
sick of the social planning com-
mittee, sponsored by Federation.
Headed by George Stutz, the sub-
committee surveyed existing rec-
reational facilities for the Jewish
aged, including a program at the
Home, and two clubs at the Cen-
ter, under the volunteer leader-
ship of Mrs. Joseph G. Geschlin.
Since the present recreational
programs have proved satisfac-
tory in form, although limited as
to the number of people partici-
pating, Stutz said it has been de-
cided that the new worker should
promote new clubs in the Center
and should recruit, train and su-
pervise - additional volunteers for
work with the aged.
Additional programming at the
Home for Aged will be designed
not only for residents, but for
aged people living in the vicinity
of the Home.
