But planting was not allowed because this is a, sabbatical year. According to tradi- tion, the earth must lay fal- low for one year every seven years. The clean-up project was organized by the JNF and the Nature Reserve Society on the occasion of Nature Reserve Week. The youths came from high schools all over Israel. Their work was important because the ac- cumulation of forest debris during the dry season is often the cause of forest fires in the summer months. After several hours of work, the youngsters were taken on tours by Nature Reserve Society guides. Adult Class- at Beth Jacob Temple Beth Jacob will hold a class for adults, "Food for Thought," 10:45 a.m. Sunday in the temple. Topic for discussion will be "The 'X-Rated' Version of Jewish Holidays — Yom Kippur." Refreshments will be served. For information, call the temple, 332-3212. Praising what is lost makes the remembrance dear. The JNF currently takes care of about 175,000 acres of planted forests throughout the country and another 75,000 acres of natural forests. It plans to plant an additional 125,000 acres of forest — about 6,000 acres annually — over the next few years which will require 25 mil- lion saplings grown in JNF nurseries. In addition to affore- station, the JNF has created five parks extending over 5,000 acres and scores of picnic areas in various parts of the country. Present plans call for another four parks and two nature re- serves for animals. The JNF is focussing on land reclamation work in the Negev, the Judean des- ert, the Dead Sea valley, Arava and Eilat. It plans 14 tourist centers, up to 20 camping areas, 100 lookout posts and 60 antiquity sites in those areas.
