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 include avenues of trees along the highways-to my regret not Daniel Auster Dies yet along all the highways in the (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) country.
