The Netherlands Government has given its consent to a lottery to be held here as part of a fund drive of the Jewish National Fund of Holland. The funds thus raised will be devoted to aid a new settlement, Parod, in Northern Galilee. All funds raised by the JNF in this country in 1955 will be devoted to the Parod settlement which was “adopted” by the Dutch JNF.
