JNF to Plant Its 100,000,000th Tree

(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)

JERUSALEM—The Jewish Na-
tional Fund, marking the 50th
anniversary of its afforestation
progr a m, disclosed Wednesday
that it will soon be planting its
one hundred millionth tree in Is-
rael.
Yaacov Tsur, JNF chairman,
said at a press conference that

JWB Uro-es*Govt.:
Curb Drug Abuse

NEW YORK (JTA) — The Na-
tional Jewish Welfare Board urged
the federal government Monday to
take a series of steps to control
the abuse of drugs which, it said,
has become "increasingly prev-
alent among middle-class youth
and adults."
The appeal, in the form of a
resolution and a position paper on
drug abuse, was based on response
to the JWB received to a question-
naire it sent to its affiliated Jewish
Community Centers and YM-
YWHAs all over the country last
year.
Staff members of those agencies
reported "a progressive rise in the
incidence of drug involvement by
teen-agers known to them."

The resolution and position
paper were adopted by the
JWB s board of directors in a
vote by mail. The position paper
said: "The National Jewish Wel-
fare Board's concern with the
misuse of drugs derives from
the Jewish tradition that any
abuse of the human body is an
immoral act."

It noted that since "dependence
on drugs can be psychologically
and physiologically damaging, the
problem is of added significance to
Jewish centers serving as agencies
of personality development, as
well as instruments for the attain-
ment of the physical and mental
well-being of American Jews."
The recommendations for gov-
ernment action included: making
available information to schools,
centers and other local public and
private agencies on the various
types of drugs and the effects of
their use on body and mind; ad-
ditional federal training programs
for enforcement of anti-narcotics
laws; an increased number of local
treatment centers; closer coopera-
tion with other nations to con-
trol the use of dangerous drugs;
and more uniform state and fed-
eral regulations governing the sale
of dangerous drugs.

Israeli Diamond Bourse
"Adopts" Border Village

RAMAT-GAN — The Israel Dia-
mond Bourse this week 'adopt-
ed" a new settlement on Israel's
northern frontier.
The Diamond Exchange will pay
the costs of bomb shelters in the
moshav (cooperative village) of
Zeriat, on the Lebanon border, as,
well as build recreation and, cul-
tural facilities for the village.

90,000,000 trees have been planted
on some 100,000 acres of land
since the state of Israel was estab-
lished in 1948. Only 5,000 trees
were planted during the period of
the British mandate in Palestine
from 1921 to 1948.
Tsur said that planting sites are
mainly in mountainous, desert or
rocky areas where the soil is un-
suitable for agriculture. Trees
arrest soil erosion, drain marshes
and also act as a security belt in
border regions. Tsur noted. He
said 3,000,000 trees are now being I
planted beyond the former armis-
tice lines with Egypt and Jordan
which existed until the June 1967
war. At the request of the military
governors, the JNF employs some
1,000 Arabs from the occupied ter-
ritories in afforestation work, ac-
cording to Tsur.
The JNF official said the tree
planting program has provided
Israelis with 60 new picnic sites
and camping grounds complete
with running water and cooking
facilities installed by the JNF. In
adition, the Israeli land reclama-
tion agency has sent its experts
abroad in connection with various,
projects of the United Nations
Food and Aricultural Organization
(FAO). Tsur said that Israeli ex-
perts in the past three years have
managed to plant trees all over the
rocky island of Malta, something
the British, Italians and the Mal- I
tese themselves failed to do after
numerous experiments.

Mrs. I. Jerome Hauser reported
that the women's division has al-
ready raised a sum larger than
last year's—$975,964 as compared
with last year's $945,915—and that
nearly 2,000 more women are yet
to be reached for additional gifts.
Samuel Frankel, reporting for
the chairman of the women's cam-
paign division, Mrs. Max Stollman,
who was unable to attend the meet-
ing, indicated new high goals being
attained by the women with a
number of larger donors yet to be
reached.
Jospey emphasized that the suc-
cess of the drive is due to its be-
ing conducted "by people," by in-
terested and devoted community
men and women who are deter-
mined not to permit the overseas,
national and local causes aided in
the drive to suffer from failure to
attain the highest possible goals.
He issued an appeal that the 10,000
or more prospects yet to be
reached should be solicited before
the victory dinner scheduled for
May 7.
Klein in his address, stated that
in "If Israel Lost the War" which
he authored with Richard Z. Ches-
noff and Robert Littel and which
was published by Coward McCann,
they pointed to the danger of a
mass atrocity in the Nazi fashion if
Israel were defeated. He said a de-
feat for Israel - would mean a
world calamity and urged that ev-
ery means be used to protect Is-
rael's sovereignty and the peace
of the world.

You can expect this from the world-wide company that invented the Pneu-
