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”, THE JEWISH NEWS—Janukry 26, 1952-1141 Golden Book and Dunam Chairman, Mrs. Irving Shevin; Sefer Hayeled Chairman, Mrs. I.

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.
