Great Afforestation
Benefits
to Israel
By MRS. SIDNEY RAVIN
JNF Auxiliary Fund-Raising Chairman .
Our activities for Keren -Kayemeth LeIsrael
have been. manifold. There is no doubt that the
_ work of lewish National Fund stands out as a
splendid chapter in the history of our struggle
for the Homeland.
By joining with. Jewish
National - Fund, you, the
Jews of Detroit, have help-
ed Israel grow. With your
traditional contributions,
such as tree planting, you
are constantly linked with
the State of Israel. • -- -
Immigrants from all
over the world build new
lives on Jewish National
Fund land. Israel's extend-
ed afforestation plan, de.-
signs to cover the denuded
hills with more than 200;-
M
rs.
R a vi n
000,000 trees. .
This plan has proved a ..tremetidous benefit
to the country. Not only does it mean restora-
tion of -its forests but it also means employment
for thouSands of new citizens who derive a liVe-
lihood from their work for Jewish National
Fund.
This year our donor funds have been alto
eated to the Forest of the. Martyrs. The growing
mantle of green spreading across Israel and the
fields of new grain that once were a sea of
boulders is a glowing testimonial to Jewish Na-
tional Fund accomplishments.
It is heartening to know that you, the con-
„ttibutors to Jewish National Fund, have this
year again felt the great needs of our cause.
It is my privilege to be associated with such
a loyal and conscientious army of workers whose
names are listed on the page. I should like in
particular to express my sincerest thanks and
appreciation to my very capable co-chairman,
Mrs. Philip Slomovitz.
A great ideal has motivated the efforts of
Our loyal workers. May their hands be strength-
ened for continuation of their devoted work in
Israel's behalf”,

Our Proud Share in
Israel's Upbuilding
By MRS. ALBERT PRAG
President, JNF Auxiliary
After 50 years of' existence, the Jewish Na-
tional Fund looks with pride upon the achieve-
ments of the past and with confidence into the
future as the greatest single force in the up-
building of the State of
Israel.
During those years, the
J.N.F. has drained marshes,;
leveled sand dunes, brought .
irrigation to parched soil,
dug wells and conducted
afforestation work in Pal-
estine where ancient for-
ests have been devastate
by centuries of neglect. It
is the proud task of the
J.N.F. to take the lead in
restoring fertility, beauty
and prosperity to the Land
of Israel.
Mrs. Prag
This year, the J.N.F. has
undertaken the vast-project of the Forest of Sir
Million, or the Forest of the Martyrs, in com-
memoration of the six million Jews who were
done to death by the Hitler hordes.
This Forest is being planted through the'
J.N.F. by the Jews of the world on the hills of:
Judea, in the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv Corridor. -
The Six Million Jews will not have died in
vain if in their places trees of continuous life
are lodged in the soil for all to see as symbols
of the future.
Detroit Jewry has made important contribu-
tions to J.N.F. in the past—and it is reasonable
to believe that its efforts in this field will con-
tinue unabated.
I wish to extend sincere thanks and appre-
ciation to Mrs. Sidney Ravin, our fund raising
chairman, Mrs. Philip Slomovitz, co-chairman,
and their entire staff of officers; to all division
chairmen and their co-workers; the donor event
secretaries; and all the members of the Ladies°
Auxiliary for their splendid co-operation and
untiring efforts in bringing the campaign to a
successful conclusion,
It is our sincere hope that the citizens of
Israel, with our help, will make of a small coun-
try, a great democracy.

`The.. Voice of the Land'
,
By DAVID BEN-GURION
Prime Minister of Israel
There is no longer any artificial barrier dividing us from the
land which calls for redemption: not redemption for profit and
property, but redemption by work and production, redemption
of trees and flowers, of corn and oil.
Now that the Jewish people is the ruling power in its own
land, it is inconceivable that the hills should remain for long with-
out a covering of trees and the valleys without a carpet of verdure,
or that the springs of the Negev should not be opened to stake the
thirst of the parched land.
Let the youth hear the cry of the land and equip themselves
for the greatest task that man can expect to find on earth: making
the waste places fruitful and conquering the mighty forces of na-
ture; let the whole people listen, Olim and soldiers released from
the army, and let them cleave to the soil of the homeland, to build
it and to be rebuilt• in it.
