According to Mrs. Kraft,
early members had only the
little "pushka" — Blue and
White Boxes—to raise funds,
but from the year 1929 on
they began their donor
events and other social
means of fund-raising.
Mrs. Kraft was president
(for the first time) in the
early 1950s when the women
participated in a project to
finance the draining of the
Huleh swamps in the Galilee.
The Huleh project, under-
taken despite extensive loss
of life, both from Syrian
guns and malaria, resulted
in the clearing of the rich-
est land in the country.
Other projects in ensuing
years were the planting of
trees and development of

land for Gadot and Gonen
kibutzim.

Mrs. Kraft also cited the
Pillars of Courage at Gadot
—pillars hewn from field-
stone and already inscribed
with 200 names, each repre-
senting the gift of a mini-
mum of 300 dollars to re-
claim two dunams (', 1s acre)
for cultivation and settle-
