Mayor Robert F. Wagner today proclaimed May United Jewish Appeal Month in New York and accepted on behalf of the city’s people seven sapling trees sent from Israel as a token of appreciation for the aid the United Jewish Appeal of Greater New York has given the people of that young democracy, which this week celebrates the seventh anniversary of its independence.
In proclaiming May “UJA Month,” Mayor Wagner called upon “my fellow citizens of all faiths to join in contributing generously” to the campaign. The Mayor is chairman of the Non-Sectarian Community Committee for the United Jewish Appeal of Greater New York.
