Student Backs Dr. Stern
At a Jan. 19 meeting,
the Allied Veterans
Council of Wayne County
unanimously passed a re-
solution endorsing the
Jewish War Veterans'
anti-boycott petition to
the Michigan Legisla-
ture.
The 22-member groups
of the Allied Veterans
Council are circulating
anti-boycott petitions
among their own mem-
bers.
Robert J. Perliss, JVW
Michigan commander,

Berman and Bernard
Hoffman, JVW delegates
to the council, all spoke on
behalf of the resolution at

the situation and our pre-
sent superintendent. The
council still encourages
parents and students to
speak out.
After many years of
Hebrew schools, many pa-
rents and students have
seen the United Hebrew
Schools operated in diffe-
rent fashions. This year,
most will agree, more ef-
fort was exerted, on the
part of the administration,
to improve the educational
systems of the UHS.
Strongly in favor of re-
taining Dr. Stern, we
hope the board of direc-
tors recognizes the views
of the parents and stu-
dents, and makes the cor-
rect decision — retaining
Dr. Stern. Most students
and parents have met Dr.
Stern, have seen him
teach, have heard him
speak and have seen
through this, a good ad-
ministrator and
educator, who is active
and respected in the
community.
Stuart J. Rogoff,
President
UHHS Student Council
Editor, The Jewish News:
The United Hebrew
High School Student
Council obtained a few
weeks' ago information
concerning the approval
needed from the UHS
board of directors in order
to retain the present UHS
superintendent, Dr. Jay
B. Stern. As an active
student organi2ation in-
side the school system, we
felt, and still feel
strongly, that the stu-
dents should support him
and have a voice in this.
Therefore, the council
has demonstrated its
support and encouraged
student support by cir-
culating petitions, dis-
tributing letters, and
speaking with various
UHS board members. Pa-
rents also have become
involved in this.
Resulting from the Jan.
18 UHS board of directors

This festival is also
called "Rosh Hashana
L'ilanot," the new year of
trees, and the rabbis say
that just as humans are
judged on Rosh Hashana,
so the fate of the tree is
decided on Rosh Hashana
L'ilanot.
In Israel the , main
past-time of the nation-
wide celebration on Tu
b'Shevat is the tree plant-
ing ceremony when
pupils from every school
assemble and follow their
teachers into the coun-
tryside to plant young sa-
plings.
These ceremonies un-
derline the religious and
historical message of Tu
b'Shevat and on a practi-
cal level, make the chil-
dren aware of the need for
reafforestation and soil
conservation, to beautify
the country.

noon and sunday schools

According to Schlussel,
"At this time of the year,
much of Jewry in the
Diaspora is still freezing,
but in Israel the first
signs of awakening
spring are manifest.
"Since the establish-
ment of the state of Israel,
this festival has taken on
deeper significance and
fresh vitality, for it has be-
come linked with the need
to develop the land and af-
forest the desert wastes.
"In Talmudic times our
ancestors who lived in the
fertile valleys celebrated
the New Year of Trees on
the first of Shevat. Those
who lived in the not so
fertile highlands Cele-
brated the festival on the
15th of Shevat.
"The latter view, which
was taught by the school
of Hillel, became the
majority viewpoint."
On Tu b'Shevat the
`tithe' was reckoned and
Jewish farmers were ob-
liged to take a tenth of
their new crops and fruits
