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." ' : ,

The chant of ancient He

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.

lush northern Galilee, oxen

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.

guage but Americans should

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.

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.
