The success of the early ytiuth'
settlements provided the impetus
for the establishment of additional
ones. By 1941 there were only
20 such settlements, 41 having
been established in the ensuing
five years. These are located in
all parts of the country, from the
northern border of Palestine to
the extreme south. Some of them
have earned an enviable reputa-
tion for themselves.

NEW YEAR GREETINGS

This creation, which is the fruit
of the pioneering spirit of the 4m-
migrants who came to Palestine
from the countries of dispersion,
has found among Palestine Jew-
ish youth devotees to assure its
continuity. Of special interest are
the youth settlements established

been raised and educated in Pal-

the new year's challenge. The flame that kindles the inner
spirit of mankind has endured oppression and tyranny since'
time immemorial. It always will,' because the forces of
unity and sympathetic understanding will ALWAYS be
stronger than any alliance of hate and greed.
