JWB Record of Service Told NEW YORK — What's in a name? What's in a sym- bol? What's in the name Jewish Welfare Board (JWB)? On April 9, 1917 — three days after America entered World War I — JWB was created by the American Jewish commu- nity to serve the religious, morale and welfare needs of Jews in the U.S. armed forces. At that time, what JWB was doing was considered "welfare work," and that was part of JWB's name. Later the name was changed to "Jewish Welfare Board, U.S. Army and Navy." But JWB's function ex- panded, and the concept of "welfare" changed. In 1921, JWB became the national service body for both YM-YWHAs (later Jewish community cen- ters) and Jewish person- nel in military service. JWB continued to ex- pand. It added Jewish cul- ture, amateur sports, camp- ing and Jewish scouting to its already broad range of services. In 1944, the name was officially changed to "National Jewish Welfare Board." Other organizations are known only by letters — why not JWB? Still the question per- sists: "But what does JWB stand for?" A V V' WES/ The best answer is "Jewish well-being." That is what JWB really stands for — the well- being of all Jews, whether they be in the civilian community or military community. The slogan of JWB is "In- volved with the quality of Jewish life . . . worldwide.". That says it all: JWB is cen- tral to the preservation and quality of Jewish life as the association and major serv- ice agency for about 300 Jewish community centers, YM and YWHAs, and camps in North America serving more than one mil- lion Jews; as the U.S. government-accredited agency for providing the religious, Jewish educa- tional and moral needs of Jewish military personnel, their families, and in Vete- rans Administration hospi- tals; as the sponsor of the Jewish Media Service, JWB Lecture Bureau, Jewish Book Council, and Jewish Music Council; and as an agency that conducts a vast array of programs designed to strengthen the bonds be- tween North America and Israel. THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS assistant to the chairman of the World Zionist Organiza- tion (WZO) settlement de- partment said. "But that is the price of peace." The WZO has built new settlements at Pithat Shalom. Coordinators es- timate that about half of the 1,000 rural North Sinai families will move to the settlements, al- though they concede a much lower rate among Yamit urbanites. Due to the mental and physical difficulties of re- settlement, many area resi- dents opted for monetary Bloom Qee Bloom Registered Electrologists Come in and let us remove your unwanted hair problem and improve your appear- ance.

Fisher, recognized nationally for industrial leadership and as an authority on the eco- nomic development of his home city, expressed confi- dence in a happy future for Detroit. Writing in a New York Times Op-Ed Page article under the title "Detroit — A Tale of Two Cities," Fisher acknowledged the current difficulties while express- ing faith in the approaching better days. He states: "So what is the bottom line for Detroit during the next 10 years? "Is there really suffi- cient reason for long- term optimism in the face of the massive problems facing Detroit? "To me the answer is ob- vious. There are abundant reasons for confidence in our future success. Our physical revitalization will continue; thousands of housing units will be built downtown; we will have a subway and people-mover; there will be an enclosed shopping mall downtown; a new Cadillac plant will open in the central indus- trial district as we rebuild our industrial base.

More than 10,000 people from throughout Israel met at the week-long memorial in Yamit, which is scheduled to be returned to Egypt in 1982. "It pains us greatly to leave the Yamit area. Our young people invested 10 years to develop a product- ive and valuabe region from desert," Yaakov Leket, Friday, July 11, 1981 compensation offered by the government and will move to Central Israel. Social workers will ac- company agricultural and economic planners to help re-establish the unique ag- ricultural system which has made the Yamit area famous. Israeli innovations in vegetable breeding and cultivation of a nutrient- rich spray in place of soil were developed in Yamit. Meanwhile, Israeli President Yitzhak Navon said he feels poor neighbor- hoods in big cities, not de- velopment towns, consti- tute Israel's main social problem. Navon's com- ments came on the 25th an- niversary of the founding of Mitzpe Ramon. The central Negev de- velopment town has dou- bled its population to 3,400 during the last two years and expects an influx of army personnel and their families in the wake of the withdrawal from Sinai.
