Jewish Natio 11 al Fund to Sell Trees
As Mother's Day Honor, Memoriam

The Jewish National Fund
Council of Detroit will again is-
sue Tree Certificates in honor
of mothers on Mother's Day,
which this year will be observed
On May 8, according to a stat e -
ment released this week by the
Council office.
Certificates for trees planted
in Israel at $1.50 each will be
mailed upon order from the JNF
office, TO. 8-7384, or through
chairmen of affiliated organiza-
tionS.
According to • the statement,
the JNF "recommends the plant-
ing of trees in Israel as one of
the most dignified forms of hon-
oring Mother on- her day, or to
per-petuate her memory in the
forests of Israel."
"Since `A Tree Is a Symbol of
Lite'," the statement continues,
"a growing tree would be a liv-
ing tribute to every m o t h e r.
Therefore, we suggest trees in
Israel to honor or memorialize
her."
In addition to serving as an
honoriam or memoriam, the
JNF states, the trees help drain
swamps, save soil from erosion,
raise the level of underground
water, provide shade, invigorate
soil and air, act as windbreak-

ers to shelter young crops, cre-
ate . parks and playgrounds,
beautify the land and , provide
work for many new immigrants,
helping their absorption into the
life of the land.
