five-year plan for the raising
of $38,000,000 in the United
States by the Jewish National
Fund to help implement a pro-
jected Joint Authority for . land
development in Israel was adop-
ted here Sunday at the con-
clusion of the three-day "Land
for Security" assembly of the
JNF of America. Some 500 com-
munity and Zionist leaders from
all parts of the country attend-
ed the parley.
Dr. Harris J. Levine, president
of the JNF of America, present-
ing ,the plan to the convention,
noted that the $38,000,000 quota
sought of American Jewry con-
stituted 70 per cent of the Joint
Authority's five-year budget of
$53,000,000. He revealed that
both the Israel government and
the' JNF would participate in the
authority, which will develop
and manage all public lands in
the Jewish State. The govern-
ment will transfer to the au-
thority all the public lands it
now holds, . notably the lands
deserted by the Arab refugees
during the 'War of Independ-
ence. 'The JNF will transfer to
the authority all the lands it
has acquired in Israel in the,last
54 years.

.

Dr. Levine announced com-
pletion of the Huleh drainage
project, major project of the
American JNF for the past
several years, which will pro-
vide Israel with 15,000 acres
of irrigated land on which will
be established some 2,000
farming units; He revealed
that the JNF's contribution to
the security of Israel was the
provision of land on which 180
settlements along the borders
have been set up, and ' the
planting of dense frontier
belts of some 250,000,000 trees.

After reviewing Israel's cur-
rent 'situation, the delegates
adopted a declaration to the
effect "that we shall not rest
until the security .,of Israel is
fully assured." The resolution
said the "call goes out to all
Jews of the United States to
rally around Israel, to ally
themselves on the side of the
Jewish State through the Jewish
National Fund, to the end that
the cause of peace and freedom,
of which. Israel is the foremost
representative in the Middle
East, may triumph over its ad-
versaries."

the development of neglected
lands."

which they would live their Zi-

MICHIGAN LIFE LINES!

FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, roads have been
built to further commerce and trade, and down
through the centuries the first requirement when-
ever a new territory was to be settled has been to
build -roads.

Michigan has over 100,000 miles of roads and
most of which are surfaced and in good
condition. These are Michigan's life lines, without
which the State could not exist.

For over these highways farm produce goes to
market, raw materials and parts get to factories,
finished products reach the consumer. Over these
highways trucks bring you everything you eat,
