Listed for eachcommunity is the local central agency—fed-eration, welfare fund, or community council—with its address and the names of the presi-dent and executive director.

The names "federation," "welfare fund,"and "Jewish community council" are notdefinitive and their structures and functionsvary from city to city. What is called a federa-tion in one city, for example, may be called

a community council in another.
