Jane Addams Centennial Reealls Ties to Jewish Community Center

As the world honors centennial year of Jane Addams, famed
champion of the poor and friendless and founder of Chicago's
Hull House, it is worth - recalling that during all her years in
Chicago she had close ties with the leaders of the Jewish
community, and particularly those associated with Jewish
Community Centers and the National Jewish Welfare Board.
This long forgotten photograph dramatically epitomizes those
ties. It was taken in 1933 at a dinner honoring Jacob M. Loeb,
(6th from left), who was retiring as president of the Jewish
People's Institute, now part of the Chicago Jewish Corn-
Munity Centers, and as a vice-president of JWB. Miss Addams
(4th from left) was the principal speaker, for she had been

State of Israel, 200,000 dunams
have been covered with wood-
land, besides a length of 750
km. of plantations along the
highways. Last winter a further
9,000,000 trees were planted in
existing forests, and 7,000,000
trees in new places. The ulti-
mate goal is to clothe one thou-
sand sq. kms. in woods. Up till
now about 30,000 dunams have
been set yearly, there are nine
nurseries in the country, and
7,000 workers earned their living
regularly at afforestation.
But half of Israel's territory
still consists of barren moun-
tainsides. In biblical times the
land was timbered and settled
with a hard-working rural popu-
lation. The words of the Bible
are the best source of our
knowledge; in the Prophets, in
Psalms and other passages we
find allusions to rural life and
to the existence of fruitful and
forested regions green with
many kinds of trees. If you
visit the historic sites of Israel
or want to picture for yourself
how people lived in ancient
times, you must imagine a quite
different scene.
Experts in afforestation as-
sure us that the climate of
the country has not changed
since olden days; their hy-
pothesis is based on the frag-
ments of forests still linger-
ing as well as on finds of
roots and of bones of forest
animals in the soil. Forests,
however, would bring about
