In Atlanta

Everyone Who Was Anyone Was There!

By ARLENE G. PECK It delighted me that Stuart Lowengrad, who heads Atlanta’s Anti-Defa-mation League, has forgiven me for previous columns I have written blasting various aspects of B’nai B’rith. The most recent Peck was entitled, “He who Tends Everyone Else’s Garden Gets Weeds In Their Own”. I still feel that Jewish organizations were formed and should function for the benefit of Jewish people. Our Jewish organizations have got to learn that they came into being as J - wish groups and their primary purpose should be fulfilling these conditions. Alas. B’nai B’rith so many

times in the past and I fear the present, see .ns to forget that the issues that they fight for should be Jewish causes. I SEE very few black and non-Jewish groups raising funds for us. However I do recognize that B’nai B’rith is an organization with which many people identify. Thanks to the power of the press Stu saw that I received a ticket to the ADL $150 a plate dinner at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta. All the big name dignitaries were lined up like penguins in their tuxedos. It was really a gala evening which honored Robert Woodruff. He is the past and long-time president of Coca Cola and today probably one year younger than G-d. He is also the continual anonymous donor to every civic project in Atlanta. Most recently he donated one hundred million dollars to

Emory University. THE WHO’S WHO in all Atlanta society was in attendance. I literally bumped into Andrew Young who was so nice to me it was obvious that he didn’t recognize me as a redhead. Nor did he remember all those nasty and true articles that I wrote about him and his stands on the PLO or the position he took linking blacks with the political prisoners of Russia. Remember baseball hero Hank Aaron? Could not believe how young and healthy the man looked! He was even gracious when I asked him for an autograph for my kid. Georgia’s Jewish Congressman and Rhodes Scholar Elliott Livitas was there looking suave, dashing and brilliant as usual. He was deep in conversation with Georgia legislator Sidney

It’s cold outside! You’d think that by this time of my life, 3 I’d remember from one year to the next one how cold the | Chicago winter can get. But I never do. I enjoy the changing seasons, particularly the fall. We may have dreadful weather w in my city, but our autumns are delightful and this year that g. season extended well into December. The days were bright 3

season extended well into December. The days were o and clear, sunny and mild, and I kept thinking that

state of affairs would go on indefinately.

I REALIZE THAT SUCH A CONCEPT is only an indication of my native optimism. When I was younger, people used to call such an attitude “Pollyannish”. In case any of you readers have been culturally deprived and have never read “Pollyanna”, I hasten to tell you that she was a gal who always looked on the sunny side of the street. If she broke her left arm, she was so delighted that it wasn’t the right

one, and vice versa.

In my youth, the books kids read usually managed to convey a little moral lesson. Pollyanna’s was: It could be

worse!

I haven’t read any material tor teenagers since our daughter was one, and I have a sneaking suspicion that the moral lessons are slightly modified nowadays. But then, haven't standards altered for many of us of all ages? WELL, TO GET BACK to Chicago’s winter, which I’d rather NOT do, this year, as usual, it crept up upon me before I was ready. Oh, I had bought a nice warm new winter coat, but that was my only concession to the inevitable. Yesterday, old Jack Frost came around and let me tell you, be can go right back where he came from! Last night, I had to cover the bay windows where I keep my plants with newspapers. Otherwise, I’d have had a lot of frozen foliage this morning. It has come to a pass when I am grateful that we will not have to leave our apartment this weekend. When I, who could give Gulliver himself a pep talk on the joys of travel, find that I am glad to stay home, this is either an indication of a high fever within or a mighty low temperature without. SPEAKING OF temperatures: I wish that they’d go back to that 32 degrees for freezing. In the Celsius measurement, it never looks high enough when you’re sweltering in August, and when we get to below zero, it’s too rapid a drop. Zero usm to be a real cold Mast!

One thing is better in today’s world: When your teeth rattle and the numbers on those street corner thermometers tell you that it’s not all that frigid, the weatherman has come up with another gimmick. That is the wind chill factor. When that get to, like 40 below, reach for the thermal underwear! For those of you who live in milder climes, 40 below

is rather nippy.

SO, MY FRIENDS, as I prepare to dig in against a long, cold winter, I’ll peek out from among my scarves to wish each of you cherished readers the best of all years in 1981. Each new year offers an opportunity for a new beginning. In the Hauptman family, each January 1, chalks up another anniversary of our marriage. This year is the 52nd. I wish it were the second, because then there would be so many more

to go.

Happy New Year, and may you enjoy each day in whatever climate you find yourselves. Hot or cold, so long as you’re healthy!

Marcus who has a very good chance of being Atlanta’s next mayor. Mr. Marcus, a lawyer and chairman of the Fulton County delegation to the Georgia General Assembly, has an honest and ethical public legislative record. He also has influential Black friends, neighborhood and business contacts. OUR ELDER Senator Herman Talmadge was on the dais looking fit in one of his first large social events since his smashing defeat in retaining his Senate seat. He was chatting with Georgia’s single Jr. Senator, Wyche Fowler, who for a fleeting moment I seriously considered flirting with. Then, I remembered the high divorce, suicide and alcoholism among Washington wives and decided to forget it.

Disappointingly, the highlight of the evening was not*Uie keynote speaker, Washington Senajtor Henry “Scoop” Jackson as expected. He is such a forceful man that the audience expected great things from his speech. Actually, he could have phoned in his talk as he said nothing that he hasn’t said a million times before in much the same way. I had met him a few years ago and found him brisk to the point of curtness. His speech was more like that of a politician’s rather than inspirational but the man’s actions are credible. He has long been a friend of the Jewish people. HE SEEMED to warm up when he hit on the topic of Russia. He told his glittering audience that when you give (Continued On Next Page)
