J .-. THURSDAY. JUNE 20. 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEPFORD, OREGON mm By MURRAY J. BROWN United PrM International Tel A v 1 v, Israel - am -American tourists looking tor the unusual may well consider a visit to Israel. For probably nowhere else can one find such a rare blending of the cultures of East and West and of Bibli cal history and atomic-age progress. Almost from the moment of arrival by plane at Lyd da airport or by ship at Hai fa, the tourist i constantly made aware of the sharp contrasts in the "Land of the Living Bible." ' : , A tiny shaggy donkey tethered alongside a sleek 1S63 American limousine. The chant of ancient He brew prayers from a syna gogue and the latest rock n'roll song blaring from a transistor radio. Modern, air-conditioned . glassed buildings and centuries-old ruins held sacred by the faithful of three of, the world's great religions Christians, Jews and Mos-. lems. Prefabricated dwell ings, with t e r r a ces and square, flat-roofed homes solidly built ages ago of the rugged native stone. Young girls and boys do ing the twist in fashionable night spots to the near-fren- f tied musical beat of Amerl-can-style bands. Bespangled " belly-dancers gyrating sen- Is) suously to the muted wail of flutes and pipes in dimly-lit cafes in the old native quarters. v Lumbering csmels in the southern Negev desert, rid den or driven by the nomad ic Bedouin, and huge 10 whceled trucks roaring along paved roads. In the lush northern Galilee, oxen or - mule drawn primitive plows and giant tractors and other mechanical farm ing monsters. Eastern Shore Israel lies on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean sea. It has an area of about 8,000 square miles-roughly the size of New Jersey. It is about 260 miles long and from 6 to 70 miles wide. , Born 15 years ago, Israel has a population of around 2.3 million, including about 290,000 Arabs. Less than 40 per cent are native-born. There are Jews of mora than 70 different national ities in Israel-including im migrants from Asia, Africa, " Europe and the Americas and one hears virtually every language in the world. Some' citizens, particularly those from Arab coutrics, cling to the dress and cus toms of their native lands, adding an exotic oriental touch to this predominantly western-culture nation.

(UPI) IT'S YOUR LAW RttpKt fa Law Mtfkt DrmncTcy tft Editor's notei Tha following article was proparsd as a pub lie itrvica by lha Oragon State Bar and is not Intended to bt lagal edvlca. Persons having a legal problem should consult an attorney. PARENTAL CONSENT NEEDED FOR CHILD'S MEDICAL CARE It's a good idea to give written consent for necessary medical care if your child leaves home for a visit or a camping trip, or if you plan to be away for any length of time. ; . Kor example, a summer camp nurse may bring a boy into a hospital with an acute case of appendicitis. But the doctor may well hesitate to go ahead and operate without the parents' consent. la the doctor arbitrary, and li such permission Just a legal technicality? No, he is well within hla rights, though he may give first aid-but only for emergency treatment where a child health or life may be at stake. He is likely to put off follow-up care until he can reach the child's pap ents. Even an adult must request treatment and grant consent to medical care on his own before a doctor can give it to him. Children cannot do this. Consent Assumed : By going to your doctor you show your willingness and ment. Your consent is as sumed also when you ask for a house call by the doctor, or if as a result of an accident you come to a hospital for emergency treatment. If you are unconscious, the doctor may well give you emergency care, yet later he should Ki t your consent to further treat ment. Minors cannot consent to medical treatment, and except in dire emergencies their par ents or guardians must give it for them. The consent should not be broadly or loosely phrased, but should be as specific as circumstances permit. The principal reason for having the consent In writing is to avoid later misunder standings. It is a protection both to the patient and pliy siclan.

Wellington -HW- The Navy said Wednesday it may have found evidence of the sub marine Thresher and will send the batluicophe Trieste to the ocean bottom off New England to try to locate the have no difficulty since most Israelis they will come in contact with speak Eng lish. In fact, English is a fa-' vorlte subject in schools here. Virtually all road street and other signs are in Hebrew, English and Ara bic. Booklets, pamphlets nd other informative material issued by the government tourist corporation or pri vate travel and tourist agencies also are printed in English. The Jerusalem Post is published in English and the national radio, Kol Isra el, broadcasts regular news programs and other English language features. Four Regions Israel has four seas, four different geographic regions and four climatic zones. The narrow sandy coastal plain along the Mediterranean is dry and sub-tropical except during the brief winter rainy season; the lush cen tral highlands are cool and dry in summer, cold and rainy in winter; the lowly ing Jordan valley is hot and dry in the summer, mild and dry in the winter; the Negev is hot and dry in the summer, cold and dry in the winter. , The winter runs from No vember to March. But you can swim in the Red sea or the Sea of Galilee as often as not in mid-December and in the Mediterranean on all but the coldest days of the winter. ' Tel Aviv, Israel's largest city with a population of 500,000, is the favorite sea side resort for tourists on the Mediterranean. Rates at Class A hotels run from around $7.25 to $9.50 per person daily, two in a room, during the peak season (March 1-May 31). Other ho tels and pensions include breakfast in rates which run as low as (3 a person daily, double occupancy. Rates are reduced during the summer season (June 1 Oct. 31). Most hotels, restaurants and cafes include 10 per cent service charge on bills and tipping is not usually expected. For the diehard golfer, Israel can offer but one 18 hole course - at Caesarea, north of Haifa. Caesarea was founded around 22 B.C. by King Herod the Great and the golfer can tour the ruins of the city's Hebrew, Byzantine, Roman and Cru sader eras. There are countless other biblical and historical sites from Eilat on the Red sea to the northermost town of Metulla on the Lebanese border. There are Jerusa lem, Beersheba, Nazareth, Tiberias, Acre, Safad and Jaffa. El Al Israel airlines flies six flights (including one non-stop in the peak season) each week from New York with Boeing 707 interconti nental jetliners. Other in ternational air carriers also maintain regular service to Lydda airport. Israel's Zim lines, American and other steamship companies make Haifa a regular port of call on Mediterranean and other cruises. m IrHact lit.
