Governor's Tribute
to Max M. Fisher
By GOVERNOR GEORGE ROMNEY
It is a distinct honor for me to be able to join in
this special tribute to Max Fisher, a man to whom
the title leader can be applied without reservation.
Max Fisher exemplifies the qualities of leadership
in all aspects of life, building .a record which others
would do well to examine and follow. He has been a
business leader, gaining many positions of respon-
sibility in the petroleum industry. He has been a
community leader. giving unstintingly of his time
and energies to innumerable projects that will improve
his community and meet the needs of his fellow cit-
izens. He is a political leader, participating actively as
a worker, contributor and leader in the party of his
choice.
More important to this occasion, he has been a
leader of the Jewish Community. It is unnecessary
here to elaborate on that record. Suffice it to say that
his unselfish contributions to • his faith in Detroit
and elsewhere have led to his selection for the most
important post nationally, that of General Chairman
of the United Jewish Appeal. There is no doubt he
will again prove his leadership qualities.
For many years I have been personally honored
to count Max Fisher among my closest friends. His ad-
vice and counsel have been invaluable. His help par-
ticularly at critical times and his unwavering devotion
have been constant sources of inspiration.
So to the Jewish community I say, congratulations
on your choice. In honoring Max Fisher you have as-
sured yourselves of another successful period in this
most worthy endeavor.

United Jewish Appeal is the latest evidence of Max
Fisher's role as community leader. In him the organized
Jewish community has a spokesman whose interest.
vision, labors and generosity embody the finest in the
American Jew. Certainly, it is a merited honor to him,
but it also is a compliment to the Detroit community
