Washington, D.C. 20515 An Open Letter to the Community In planning the 1995 Federation Campaign, the Federation Board of Directors and Campaign Leadership introduced some innovations to our community. The goals and objectives were geared to improve donor recognition and to provide an opportunity for donors who made increased gifts to designate a portion of their gifts in an area of special interest. We are pleased to report that designated giving has been well received by the community and we hope to continue this practice in future years. Designated Giving will result in increased allocations to a number of our beneficiaries in 1995. Taking the lead from other small Federations such as Charlotte, NC, Charleston, SC and Austin, TX and many of our local non-profit organizations such as the Chattanooga Symphony and Opera Association, the Little Theater and Allied Arts, wefelt it was appropriate to recognize our many supporters by publishing gifts by categories in the Shofar at the end ofthe Campaign. We have received a very negative response from the community. In reviewing the responses, the Federation Executive Committee has recommended that we do not publish gifts bv categories in the Shofar this year. Some donors misconstrued the intent of this process. We have very few opportunities to publicly say nthankyoun to the many donors who support our vital efforts. Wefelt that by providing this opportunity like the organizations mentioned above, we could formally recognize our loyal contributors. We are most appreciative of your continued generous support. We want you to know that we are sensitive to the wishes and desires ofthe community and we urge you to give us feedback so that we can continue to upgrade and improve the ever-increasing services that we are providing our Chattanooga Jewish community.

    HATTIE FAMILY MEMOIRS HATTIE FAMILY MEMOIRS An Account of the Families Descended from Alexander Hattie, Emigre of 1786, with Sketches of the Family Pioneers and Related Material BY ROBERT McCONNELL HATTIE AND JOSEPH HOWE KIRK Printed by The Imperial Publishing Company, Limited, Halifax, N. S., Canada, for Private Circulation by the Authors. 1936 FOREWORD HE present history is only a fragment, but it is hoped it may serve as a nucleus around which to gather T information on which to build up the family archives. The writer would be glad to have material not incorporated in this record that any descendant of the pioneer Hatties may have to supply-material relating not only to the pioneers them­ selves, but to any descendants down to the most recently born babe. While it is not proposed to produce a revised history, the writer would be glad to be the repository of authoritative in­ formation that in some way may be made available to the folk coming after us. In the form in which this history appears it is as complete in details as the limitations of time and circumstances have per­ mitted. Even in its incompleteness it results from much corres­ pondence and many personal interviews, and, indeed, from much travel in the countryside from which the descendants in this generation are sprung. There are many gaps; for there have been several points at which it has not been possible to make contacts whereby information could be obtained. In spite of much effort to have every name and date and statement herein fully verified, there are still no doubt many errors.

Fourth Edition, Revised and Enlarged by MAJOR R. A. MARRIOTT, D.S.O. London : E. MARLBOROUGH & CO., 51, Old Bailey, E.C 1914. [all rights reserved.] — NOTE TO THIRD EDITION. It has been the fashion since the occupation of Egypt to speak slightingly of the colloquial form of Arabic in use there. This is partly because, as is the case in every country, the commoner forms of speech seem uncouth and unclassical to students who have learnt their Arabic either in universities, from viunshis in India, or from Syrians (who are frequently in Egypt the professed instructors). The basis of the common speech is, however, classical, though not directly recognisable as such. The fact that some of the words have not been encountered in the comparatively scanty literature of the Arabs, nor in the Koran, does not preclude them from being Arabic, though the forms of speech may not rank higher than such English forms as shan't, ain't, and Tve.
