Children's Honor Roll Focus of New Local JNF Campaign A local appeal is cur- rently being made to the parents and grandparents or other relatives of every Jewish child in the commu- nity, to enroll them in the Jewish National Fund Children's Golden Book in Jerusalem. "Celebrations for which such inscriptions are appro- priate," according to Dr. Jay Kaner, local chairman of this JNF project, and Ruben H. Isaacs, president of JNF of Greater Detroit, "are birthdays, a Brit Mila, Pi- dyon Haben, or other joyous occasion." There is a special cam- paign at present to inscribe the names of newborn babies. The donor receives a cer- tificate directly from Jerusalem attesting to the DR. JAY KANER inscription and picture in the book on display in the JNF headquarters, and at- tached to the certificate is the duplicate picture of the honored child. (This can then be given to the child to keep forever, if the donor wishes.) For details, call the JNF office. 557-6644. •
