F'illed with a strong resolve to fulfill their place as American Chalutzim for Palestine despite closed aliyah and war in the Near East, members of Hashomer Hat- zair, world Zionist Youth Move- ment, will convene in Detroit, Michigan, April 15-20, for their 9th national veidah (convention) to clarify and strengthen their goal of establishing themselves as members of a kibutz in Eretz Yisroel. The backbone of the kibutz farm collective movement of Pal- estine, Hashomer Hatzair members there are joined together in kib- utz Artzi, a federation of collec- tive. There are two American colonies settled on their own land at present. Founded 14 years ago at Afu- lah, Kibutz Artzi is the second largest force within the impor- tant Palestinian labor federation, the Histadruth. At present 47 Shomer colonies are settled on Jewish National Fund land from the Huleh to the Negev. Many others are in Palestine awaiting their turn at permanent settle- ment. Ein Hashofet, one of the prime "showplaces" of Eretz Lisrael is the first American kibutz to be settled there, With aliyah in 1933, this colony firmly established it- self in 1937 on its own land in the hills of Ephraim, back of Emek Jezreel. The name, "the Well of the Judge" was taken in respect and honor of Justice Louis D. Brandeis, friend and aid of the colony. Today, settled for four years on its own land, this col- lective is one of the strongest in the land with its economy deeply rooted in the soil. Former mem- bers of Ken Detroit, Hashomer Hatzair, now members of Ein Hashofet are: Levi Shapiro, Es- ther Weisinger and Yirmiyahu Haggai, son of the well-known leader and teacher, Joseph Haggai. At Kfar Menachem in the south of Palestine is settled the second of the American colonies.

Camp `Mehia is equipped to care for boys and girls from 6 to 16 and also has a campus kindergarten nursery group for campers 2 / 1 2 to 6. Camp Mehia directors urge early registration of children for summer camping. This provides an opportunity for the staff of Camp Mehia to become acquaint- ed with the child, his individual needs and interests and aids in planning programs which will enable the camper to receive the utmost offered by Camp Mehia. Parents who are planning to send their children to camp are advised to register now so that their child will have a summer vacation at no increase in price over last year. In face of rising food costs, the greater cost of staff and equipment, the cost of camping cannot remain the same as last year.
