WHY NOT use the method that Mother will like! The
Jewish National Fund Council of Detroit proposes
that you do a good deed while honoring Mother.

YOU CAN do this good deed by planting trees in
Palestine. Here is what tree-planting in Zion does ...
It increases land purchases in Palestine . . . Reforest-

ration makes the land fruitful ... Tree planting pro-
vides work for Jewish pioneers and makes it possible
for Palestine to produce food for the democratic

forces in the Middle East.

WHEN YOU plant a tree in Palestine, you receive a
beautifully engraved certificate. To plant trees in

Palestine, at $1.50 each, call any of the following:
