The board of trustees of the Etz Chaim Yeshivah (Tree of Life College) today adopted a resolution calling on the Yeshivah to discontinue training new schochtim. The action of the board was taken in view of the fact that Great Britain is overcrowded with schochtim, many of whom can find no employment. Rabbi S. I. Hillman is president of the Yeshivah.
