S. citizens following the naturalization ceremonies. 99 new citizens were greeted by officers and members of WBA in the Lawyers' Lounge in the New Courthouse where soffee and sandwiches were served. The reception had the enthusiastic sup- port of Chief Justice Stevens of the Court of Appeals and of Chief Judge Laws of the District Court. New Citizens Appreciative Many of the new citizens expressed de- light at having received special invita- tions and at being so honored on such an important occasion in their lives. One of the many letters of thanks which our President has received summed up the appreciation of the new Americanst I want to thank you and your organ- ization and all those who gave us that wonderful reception for your keen interest in all of Aus. It cer- tainly means a lot to new citizens to realize how warmheartedly they are received, not only by their friends and relatives,.but by an organization such as yours, and it certainly adds to our pride. It was a wonderful day and I will remember it as long as I live. Receptions to Continue Representatives of various civic groups present expressed their intention of sponsoring future receptions, which will also be under the continuing sponsorship of WBA.
