❑ To focus attention on more than 50 years of Jewish National Fund activities in Detroit in building
the land or Israel and strengthening its security with special emphasis on the new challenges facing
the JNF since the Six Day War.
❑ To meet the desperate needs of the beleagured state, it has become impertive to reclaim more
land for outposts in the most vulnerable areas, in other words, to help establishments all along the
border.
❑ To mobilize 'he broadest possible support for the 1t4F through the widest possible use of all JNF's
traditional collection methods.

To place another thousand Blue-White JNF Boxes in Detroit and Michigan Jewish homes.
❑ To plant more trees in Israel. Israel needs more trees. Trees represent the rekindled strength and
lifeblood of the land. Trees conserve the soil. Trees beautify the land. Trees reclaim the wasteland.
Trees provide employment and absorb thousands of the states temporarily unemployed. And trees
strengthen our ties with Israel.
❑ To remind Jews to remember JNF in their Wills, thus not only linking their names forever with
the land of Israel, but that their legacy will help ALL of Israel. JNF land supports the whole Israel
economy—it grows Israel's food? on it stand Israel's religious, educational and welfare institutions.
We have before us a colossal task. Just as the JNF strengthened Israel's frontiers and-
developed
border settlements which carried a good share of the burden of the defense struggle, so is the
JNF called upon to strengthen existing postions and to prepare a new wave of land settlements so
vital for the future of Israel.
