Jewish schools of Detroit were
called upon this week by the

of Detroit to plan special pro-
grams for H a s m i s h a Asar

and to place emphasis on the
importance of land redemption
in Palestine and the planting of
trees in Eretz Israel as part of
the reforestation program of the
Jewish National Fund.

Mr. Hordes states that Ham-

served by discussions of Pales-

"Dress up the land of Palestine
with trees," Mr. Hordes states in
his call to the schools. "In this
way we can make more land in
Zion productive and assure fa-
cilities for the resettlement of
large numbers of Jews.
"An important factor in our
work is the plan that 25 per
cent of redeemed land in Pales-
tine is to be used for the settle-
ment of returned soldiers of all
lands in Europe, including the
fighters in the Jewish Brigade.
Thus, we are not only assuring
a better future for Palestine
but are planning for the post-
war needs of the fighters for
freedom."
Schools desiring material to be
used for the observance " of
Hamisha Asar b'Shvat as _well

asked to call the JNF office,
