Federation Town, a children’s “municipality” sponsored by the women’s division of the Brooklyn Federation of Jewish Charities, has accepted a $1,000 quota in the division’s efforts to raise its allotment of $15,000 in the Federation’s budget drive for $500,000.
This announcement, made by Mrs. Isaac Meyer, chairman of Federation Town, also revealed that the age limit for “citizens” is now eighteen. Mayor Daniel Karp is sixteen. Other officials are fifteen or under.
Children may join the Town in infancy and eventually graduate into the Junior Federation. As an aid in raising its quota of $1,000 Federation Town is planning a professional children’s benefit theatre performance.
