Arranged under auspices of the Jewish National Fund of America in cooperation with organizations affiliated with the Palestine Land Redemption Fund, the assembly is one of many being held in various parts of the country this week designed to stimulate a world wide movement to inscribe the name of the great benefactor of the Jewish National Home in a special volume of the Golden Book of the Jewish National Fund.
