The program for the 1958 campaign for Israel bonds will be formulated at a two-day national leadership conference which will open in Washington on Saturday, January 11, it was announced today by Dr. Joseph J. Schwartz, vice president of the State of Israel Bond Organization.
The Washington conference, which will be attended by more than 300 leaders active in the bond drive, will review the results of the 1957 campaign and blueprint plans to increase Israel bond income for 1958 as a tribute to the tenth anniversary of Israel’s independence, Dr. Schwartz said.
“During the coming months, Israel must continue to build her industries and increase her agricultural production,” Dr. Schwartz declared. “She must provide homes and jobs for tens of thousands of immigrants, and must maintain her basic economic strength in the face of continuing Arab hostility. Israel counts heavily on Israel bonds to achieve these aims. The 1958 Israel Bond campaign must set new records in the mobilization of investment capital for the country’s economic development.”
A highlight of the conference will be a dinner given by Ambassador and Mrs. Eban in tribute to Women of Valor and trustees for 1957 on January 11 at the Shoreham Hotel. Women leaders are designated as “Women of Valor” through the purchase sale of $100, 000 in bonds. Persons who purchase $10, 000 or more in a year are given the title of trustees.
