NEW YORK—President Lyndon
B. Johnson has told the National
Jewish Welfare Board that its "50
years of exceptional public ser-
vice" have earned it "the admira-
tion of a grateful country."
In a message to the National
Jewish Welfare Board's Golden
Jubilee Convention in New York
City, the President said:
"Through your many affiliated
YM and YWHAs and Jewish
Community Centers, you have
helped people of all ages achieve
creative fulfillment through the
constructive use of leisure time.
"You have successfully ad-
ministered to the needs of Jewish
military personnel, hospitalized
veterans and their families.
"Your expanding program of
public affairs, your concern to
prepare our youth for responsible
citizenship and your commitment
to human dignity vividly reflect
your dedication to the kind of so-
ciety for which we are all striving.
"By enhancing the quality of
Jewish life in America you con-
tribute to the general progress and
vitality of this nation."
The heart does not think all
the mouth says.—Italian proverb.
