of the strongest and most reaching
organizations of our country.

However, we are granted the joy
of articula ting n "welcome home" and
"God bless you" to the founder of

..It Is true the West cannot compete
with the East in the manifold oppors

we are eager to excel. and that Is in
the warmth of our welcome and in
the heartiness of the hospitality which
