A forest commemorating the late Pinchas Rutenberg was planted today in the colony of Hanita in Upper Galilee in the presence of representatives of the leading institutions of the Yishub, including many Jewish National Fund officials.

The money for the forest was collected about three years ago from workers of the Palestine Electric Corporation, on the occasion of Rutenberg’s sixtieth birthday.
