MOND DEDICATES
BALFOUR FOREST

Sir Alfred Seeks Market for
the Products of Pal-
estine.

•

JERUSALEM.— (J. T. A.) —
The first tree of the Balfour For-
est, planted in the Jewish colony,
Jinjar, in the valley of Jezreel, was
net in place by Sir Alfred Mond.
The forest is being planted by the
Jewish National Fund in honor of
the author of the Balfour Declara-
tion as a part of the fund's affor-
estation program in Paletsine.
A message from Lord Balfour
was read at the exercises attend-
ing the planting of the first tree.
"It is unnecessary for me to ex-
press my sense of the honor con-
ferred upon me by naming the for-
est after me," Lord Balfour stated
in his message. "The feeling of
personal gratification is trifling
compared with the satisfaction
with which I view this important
step in the economic development
of Palestine. Afforestation is nat-
urally a slow business, but an im-
portant one. Although I cannot
hope to live to see the results, I
am confident of the immense bene-
fit to the future of the country
this afforestation program will
bring."

Samuel's Message.

Sir Herbert Samuel, former
high commissioner of Palestine,
sent a message in which he stated:
May the Balfour forest endure
as his name will endure."
David Lloyd George in his mes-
sage stated: "I rejoice that so
lasting and beneficent tribute
from British Jewry was initiated
in honor of the distinguished Brit-
ish statesman whose name it bears.
His name will ever be associated
with the historic declaration by the
government of which I was the
hued."
The decision to plant the Bal-
four forest was announced by Na-
hum Sokolow, chairman of the
Zionist Executive, at a dinner
given in London to Lord Balfour
to commemorate the tenth anni-

Mond were among tho,a. present.
The Jewish National Fund, blr.
Sokolov said, had 114'64101 to ar-
range for the planting of a Bal-
four forest, consisting of 50,000
trees, as a permanent mark of ap-
preciation to the author of the
historic charter.

Heavy Rain at Planting.

A heavy rain poured down on
the hills in Jinjar region when
Jewish and English representa-
tives gathered to witness the plant-
ing of the first trees of the Balfour
forest.
The first saplings were planted
by Sir Alfred Mond, Lord Hamer,
high commissioner of Palestine,
harry Sacher, member of the Je-
rusalem Executive, M. M. Ussish-
kin, and Dr. David Yellin. Lady
Plumer, Lady Mond and her
<laughter, Lady Erleigh, partici-
pated in the planting ceremonies.
Owing to the heavy rain, the
exercises were transferred to Na-
halal, nearby Jewish colony,
where, at a luncheon presided over
by M. M. Ussishkin, the addresses
were delivered.
In his address Mr. Ussishkin
said "Balfour is like a great tree
in whose shade the eternal wan-
derer, the Jewish people, has
found rest."
Sir Alfred, reviewing the pres-
ent situation in Palestine, viewed
it optimistically. "The Zionist
movement is young," he said,
"therefore it is impatient. But
Zion is thousands of years old and
despite repeated failures it has
always risen."
Lord Plumer stressed the im-
portance of afforestation in Pal-
estine. The Jewish afforestation
is serving as an example for oth-
ers. Ile promised government
support for the enterprise.
Mr. Sacher said that wood was
the symbol of strength and tire-
less endurance and indicated Bal-
four's statesmanship. Dr. David
Yellin brought greetings on behalf
of the Vaad Lemui.

Seeks Market for Products,

Negotiations with a view to se-
curing a market for l'alestine pro-
ducts will be undertaken by Sir
Alfred blond, who is negotiating
with Jewish manufacturers here
with a view to forming a company
for the sale of Palestine products
abroad. Sir Alfred, it was stated,
intends to introduce Palestine to-
bacco in the English market
through the cigarette factories of
Bernard Baron.
Sir Alfred, on his second visit
to Palestine, returning from the
Iraq, was greeted by Jews and
Arabs in an atmosphere of hospi-
tality and cordiality, in contrast
to the hostile reception he was ac-
corded on his arrival in Bagdad.
Sir Alfred visited all the Jewish
colonies in Upper Galicia where,
he stated, he observed a remark-
able expansion. At Bougiah, the
Bedouin sheiks of the Iluleh re-
gion improvised a special recep-
tion in his honor.
At the Arab villages adjoining
the Jewish colony Rosh Pinah, the
sheik of the village greeted Sir
Alfred as a representative of the
brother Jewish nation who, with
the Arabs, work toward the com-
mon goal of a reconstructed l'al-
estine.

BUCHAREST.—(J. T. A.)—
Ninety-five per cent of the pupils
of the Jewish High School at
Grosswardin fOrtideamareI failed
in their examinations before the
RUM141111411 school board. The high
school has 215 pupils; 205 were
declared by the Rumanian commit-
tee to have flunked in the exam-
inations.
The mass failure of the pupils
has caused great depression in
many Jewish families of the city,
the despairing youths threatening
to commit suicide. The parents
are compelled to neglect their
business to set watch over their
children to prevent any drastic
action.

Siege to Prevent Riot.

Following the attempt of onti-
Semitic students to renew the anti-
Jewish excesses which were
stopped by the intervention of the
police, a state of siege in the city
was proclaimed by an order of
General I'opescu.
According to the order, all stu-
dents who will resist the authori-
ties will immediately be arrested
and tried by a military court. On
the other hand, the students or-
ganizations issued manifestoes in-
citing their members to terror
against teachers and leading per-
sonalities.

`FISHMAN MONTH'

March is "Fishman Month" with the
Detroit Life Insurance Company.
Sixteen years ago Mr. Morris Fishman
joined the Detroit Life organization. With
characteristic application to his work and the
determination to succeed he began the task
of building an agency that would be a
credit to him and to the Detroit Life.

That Mr- Fishman has succeeded in his chosen
work is evidenced by the fact that today he has an
organization of over 50 progressive capable sales-
men, who, with the aid of their chief, succeeded
in writing $5,956,096 of new life insurance in the
year 1927.
And so it is that the Detroit Life Insurance Com-
pany in March of each year celebrates "F is h m an
Month" in honor of Vice-President Morris Fish-
man.

The officers and directors of the Detroit Life Insurance Com-
pany, together with Mr. Fishman and his men, join in expressing
their appreciation to the Jewish people of this community for
the splendid co-operation which they have always given to the
Detroit Life Insurance Company.
It is our earnest hope that our future relationships may be
even more satisfactory and mutually helpful.
