In a debate in Israel's Knesset
on a national parks and nature
reserves bill, Prime Minister
David Ben-Gurion praised the
work of the Jewish National Fund
in the afforestation of the land
of Israel.
"The great work of afforesta-
tion, principally has to be cred-
ited to the Jewish National
Fund," he said. "Since the found-
ing of the State till the end of
the 1961-62 season, over 70 mil-
lion forest trees have been
planted on 160 sites in Israel.
These plantings cover 300,000
dunams. Everyone who visits Je-
rusalem knows that large
stretches of the Jerusalem Hills,
heretofore 14re, are now covered
with young forests. Such planted
sites are to be found all over the
country, from Kfar Szold, Ramim
(Manara) and Hanita in the north,
all along Israel's eastern border,
e.g., Eyn - Gev, Mount Gilboa,
Ma'anit, Modi'in, Jerusalem Hills,
• the Adullam Region, down to
Dimona, Shivta, S'de Boger and
Kerem_ Shalom in the South."
The Prime Minister went on
to explain: "The plantations also Ex-Jerusalem Mayor

as laid down by a resolution at
the last plenary session of the
CJC, will be "to explore ways
and . means of ensuring that the
_legitimate financial require-
ments of the Jewish day schools
will be adequately met through
the development of new sources
of revenue." Also "to consider
the advisability and feasibility
a, seeking support from- public
as well as private sources, but
having due regard to the diver-
gent views that exist in the Jew-
ish community on this ques-
tion."
The Commission will issue an
appeal to Jewish communities
and organizations in the prov-
e ince to submit their briefs on
the questions before it. It is
expected that the main point at
issue will be the controversial
question of whether to seek the
assistance of tax subsidies from
the government. Toronto has
five Jewish days schools. In the
rest of the province there is a
Jewish day school in Ottawa.
