"Looking forward to even
greater growth — in the
face of changing life-styles
— a pilot project for three
major American cities —
Los Angeles, Cleveland and
Baltimore — has been de-
veloped by the National
Membership Department,"
she announced. "We are
planning an intensive popu-
lation analysis as a prelude
to this year's mammoth
membership drive. The re-
sult of this pilot project will
be fully studied in order to
mount similar projects in
other areas of the country,"
Mrs. Zamost said.
In conjunction with the
convention, Fannie Cohen,
national Jewish National
Fund chairman, presided at
the dedication of Hadas-
sah's latest development
project, Tefen.
"Here in the Galilee,
where there are only 37 per-
cent Jews, we have made
possible the establishment
of seven new settlements
and five industrial com-
plexes, which will house
and give employment to
thousands of Jews,',' she
said.

"This is the result of
our fund-raising efforts
and the work of the
Keren Kayemet Lelsrael
(JNF). Where today you
see arable flat land, elec-
tricity and water, only
two years ago there were
boulders and wilderness,
making the land im-
possible for use.

"It took foresight and ex-
pert planning, the sweat of
thousands of men, the tech-
nical skills of hundreds
operating the most modern
machines, to move moun-
tains and make this land
habitable."
Bernice S. Tarmenbaum
was re-elected president of
Hadassah.
