In Palestine, the Jewish chil- dren observe the day by going out to the fields and forests and planting new trees. On the initia- tive of the Jewish National Fund Youth Department, 111 Fifth Avenue, New York City, the He- brew and Religious Schools in the United States have been supplied with tree charts (reproduced above) which show the progress of Palestine tree planting. Un- der the slogan "Make Them Grow!" classes and pupils will compete in the number of trees they will plant. The planting is effected by pasting Keren Kaye' meth stamps on the bare tree out- lines. Stamps in the amount of $1.50 as a contribution to the Jewish National Fund, make pos- sible the planting of one tree. In a call issued by the Ortho- dox Rabbinate, over the signa- tures of the officers of the Union of Orthodox Rabbis in the United States and Canada, the forthcom- ing Saturday, Jan. 20, was desig- nated as the Sabbath of the Jew- ish National Fund for the pur- pose of stimulating the planting of trees on the occasion of Pales- tine Arbor Day.
