You are invited to Celebrate
ISRAEL'S GLORIOUS
loth ANNIVERSARY
in Jerusalem, June 24-26, 1958
at the never-to-be forgotten "U]../4 Anniversary Conference"
Next spring Israel's people will begin a year-long
celebration of their 10th Anniversary of Independence.
A brave, liberty-loving citizenry will mark how
they built a home for themselves and a million refu-
gees in the face of terrifying dangers and hardships.
This extraordinary celebration will have a special
meaning to millions of dedicated Americans who
support the United Jewish Appeal, which next year
marks its 20th year of saving lives and aiding the
oppressed and needy.
Without Israel, UJ A could not make the proud
statement that, in nearly two decades, it has saved
more than 1,300,000 refugee lives.
