Bv ANTONIA SEIXAS

Are Americans "softies"?
Do we prefer butter to
ideals? Is that why too few
are settling in Israel and why
some who do settle returne to
America after a year or two?
Alas, it's not as simple as
all that. During nearly five
years in Israel I've talked to
a lot of Americans, happy
and unhappy, and it seems to
me that the problem of Amer
leans in Israel is like the
problem of marriage. Both
partners must be compatible
if the inevitable difficulties
are to be borne, if the small
irritations are not to tester,
and if what should be a
source of strength is not to
become a prison.
Alienation
"I feel like an outsider. In
the States 1 never felt set
apart as a Jew, but here l
feel set apart as an Amerl-
can"
"It's a European culture
and 1 realize I'll always feel
alien to it," said a woman
writer. "Our American ways
of thinking, our attitudes to-
ward life, are too different.
1 don't find any common
ground with neighbors and
I'm isolated culturally and
socially from real Israeli
life"

WHY Americans Go Back --- and Others

Americans blame a good part
of the inefficiency on the IS
raeli love of argument; al
most all are diSmayed by this
and by the lack of coopera-
tive spirit. I'm just plain
tired of fighting" said the
American wife of sabra. "It
isn't only the endless fighting
and screaming in bus queues,
food shops, movie queues
it's that everybody argues all
the time over everything"
The Future
Few Americans find them
selves unprepared for the
hardships, but equally, few
are prepared to look forward
to a lifetime of it. The pessi-
mistic don't feel that things
are going to be much better
for a very long time.
Some feel that the huge
Oriental immigration has so
changed the nature and the
future of Israel that they are
unequal to adapting: We'll
have two alternatives; either
endless minority struggles to
keep our culture and our
ideals, or submergence into
an alien, less advanced envi-
rOnment."
But in spite of all this,
many Americans have happi-
ly adjusted. Here are some
notes from the sunny side of
the street
identification
One would expect that a
strong sense of Jewish iden-
tification should be an impor-
tant element. The way this is
expressed, however, is some
times quite unexpected. II

could declare our Jewish iden-
tification was by joining a
synagogue or special Jewish
group-and really, we didn't
have much in common with
them :"
Indeed, they feel relief in
Israel, said several young
Americans, from "old-world
Jewishness" with which their
families surrounded them in
America. "It was so oppreS-
sive l was stifled. Here, l can
live as 1 please without being

THE
FARMERS WIFE
BY GRACE LUEBKE

Next, she got on the subject of
part-time farmers, those people
who farm certain amount of
ground and work in town, as we'll.
Sometimes condition such as this
is necessary if the family is deep
in debt, and needs more help fl
nancially. However, the effect that
such a condition can have on fam
lily life is bad, especially if the
father works on the night shift.
He rarely gets to see his children
during the week, hes gone to work
when they get home from school,
and he's sleeping in the morning
before they leave for school. Both
father and children are missing
one of the greatest blessings of
parenthood, that of close associa-
ton.
DR.. Hillman gave us an example
of an especially deplorable condi
tion that they came across. A man
and his wife were living on farm
that they were renting. They both
worked in Columbus, which was
35 mile drive for each of them.
They had 3 small children, all un-
der school age. The father, who
stayed with the children during
the day, went to work at 800 in
the afternoon, his wife got home
between $3.50 and 400 o'clock,
leaving the children alone in the
house that length of time. They
would pass each other on the
highway, they had a set of signals
worked out, if he waved a certain
way it meant that she couA take
her time getting home, but if he
gave different signal, it meant
that she should hurry up, that one
of the children was sick, or some
thing else equally distressing.
In any situation such as this.
the man and wife should really

Today / attended the annual
Home Demonstration Counci
meeting of District No. 2 in Ere
mont. The attendance at this meet
ing was good, Ottawa County was
especially well-represented, con.
sidering the fact that it conflicted
with the fair.
The speaker for the day was DR..
Christine Hillman, of the Research
staff at Ohio State University. She
spoke of one particular line of re-
search being conducted now, that
of interviewing young married
couples on farms, trying to help
them solve their many problems.
There are many phases to a type
of research such as this, to give
you some idea of how it was car
ried out, $50 couples were inter
viewed in four central Ohio coun-
ties. They were all married years
or less, or were 30 years of age or
under. It was so very interesting
to hear her tell of the sometimes
difficult task of adjusting that
some of the city girls encountered
when they married farm boys. 1t
seems that one of their pet peeves
was the fact that when they lived
at home in town, their mealtimes
were usually on a pretty regular
schedule, their Dad came home
from work about the same time
every day, they ate supper at that
time, leaving their evening free.
OF course, on the farm things
don't always work out that way, il
it's a Saturday afternoon and
there's quite bit of hay to be
baled yet, naturally the farmer
wants to try to get it finished.
Sometimes it's really hard to get
the men-folk in from the field if
they're real busy and the weather
looks unpredictable.

II is almost double the value of

has happened is that Mcdowell
has one Negro school, elementary

age is somewhat higher. the per-

In that county. where about Is
per cent of all pupils are Negroes,
the per-pupil value of the Negro

Long before the recent United
States Supreme Court decision rul-
ing that racial segregation in the
public schools was unconstitution-
al, North Carolina had been wrest-
ling with the problem of how to
finance its needs for increased
public school facilities for both
races. A survey by the State De-
partment of Public Instruction last
year revealed that at least Sl94
million more was needed to pro-
vide needed new classrooms and
other facilities. These needs took
into account the needs of both
races. 1t was to partially meet this
need that the State voted $50 mil
lion in school bonds las September.
