Gratitude to King Gustaf and to
the people of Sweden, for their
rescue efforts in behalf of Euro-
pean Jewry, was voiced by Dr.
Chaim Weizmann, president of
the Jewish Agency for Palestine,
in a cabled message on the occa-
sion of the launching in Stock-
holm of a campaign for the
planting of trees in a "King Gus-
taf" forest in Palestine.
• H a d a s s a h Organization of
America has raised funds for the
planting of 1,000 trees in the
King Gustaf forest, and Stock-

Thursday evening, March 8, at
the Detroit Art Institute, Col.
Edwin H. Cooper's latest film,
"Palestine Today."
Col. Cooper will personally be
present at this showing and will
speak on his experiences during
the filming.
"Palestine Today," which is dents.
being hailed as an outstanding
screen achievement, is an all-
new natural color motion pic-
ture. It shows how, under the
Zionist movement, the Jews
have revitalized the Jewish Na-
tional Home. It shows Tel-Aviv,
the "wonder spot of the world":
the holy places of the three
faiths, historic villages, modern
agricultural achievements, the
schools, colleges, hospitals and
factories established by Jews.
This picture is significant as
proof of Jewish Palestine being
"the favorite spot of G-I Joe on
furlough."
Col. Cooper states: "The new
city of Tel-Aviv, on the shores
of the Mediterranean, is a won-
der spot of the world, destined
to become a popular resort. It is
the favorite vacation spot in the
Middle East of American soldiers
on furlough."
Mr. Pierrot announces that
tickets, at 90c and $1.20, tax in-
cluded, are now on sale at the
World Adventure office at the
Art Institute, TE. 2-7676. A sell-
out is expected and early pur-
chase of tickets is advised.
