YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Homebuyer Tough Customer

More and more, the home buy
buyer of today is a tough Gus
toner, seeking a lot of house for
the record total of dollars he's
or committing himself
to pay.
Quality Sought
More and more, this new
homebuyer can afford" to be
discriminating because he is
looking not just for shelter but
for quality shelter.
And more and more, the home
builder of this cycle is discover
ing he is appealing to a new
breed OF buyer. And because
many never knew the hard SELL
ing of the prewar years, they do
not know how to deal with him.
It's a new market indeed.
The would-be buyer of the
older house usually is in a lower
income bracket. And in today's
tight money market, many Of
these just can't qualify for mort
cages, simply haven't the cash to
buy.
The would-be buyer of a new
house often is the Bob and
Joan" type. Many of these want
more for their money than the
builder can supply.
What's more, rising costs of
manpower, materials and money
are still pushing up building
costs. A conservative forecast is
that prices next year will be up
at least 3 per cent.
AS your bargain-hunting for
cars has forced many auto deal
ers to the wall in recent years, SO
your bargain-hunting for houses
may force many builders to the
wall in coming years. It's a rough
as we'll as a new market for
builders. And it will become
rougher before the pendulum
swings again.

Bob and Joan bought the first
house Of their married life in
1850. 1t wasn't their dream house
far from it. But it was their
own roof over their heads, it
met their minimum needs, they
wanted a house so badly they
were willing to make almost any
compromise, and, most impor-
tant, it was within their price
of $4,000.
Today, Bob and Joan are in
the market for the second house
of their married life. And this
time, they're determined it's
going to be as close to their
dream as they can manage.
He insists on a minimum of
three bedrooms, at least two
bathrooms and recreation room
that can double as an extra
bedroom. She insists on a we'll
equipped kitchen, a utility room,
plenty of closet space and space

Buyers Can Wait
And while they are now into
the $20,000-pluS price range, Bob
and Joan are out to get a dollars

for Moslem children has had and
will continue to have tremendous
impact on Arab society. Islanic
law forbids Moslem girl to sit
on the same bench with Moslem
boy. But the shortage of class
room accommodations have. by
necessity. forced a change. This
has not only allowed the introduc-
ton of thousands of Arab girls
into schools. but has challenged
deep-rooted Mosle m attitudes
about sex and the woman's place
in society.
Professor Gotten, the Dean of
the School of Oriental Studies at
the Hebrew University, writes
about co-education among. the
Moslem school children: "Age-old
prejudices have been removed
with a single stroke; it has proved
that the separation of the sexes
which has done so much harm to
young Moslems in so many coun-
tries, is nothing but an evil spell,
which can be broken if one only
dares to do so." Contrary to ex-
pectation, the introduction of CO.
education has not met with any
marked opposition on the part of
Arab parents. In fact, more Arab
parents are sending their daugh-
ters to co-educational schools than
ever before.
AT the same time. Israel's Mos
lem society which formerly ac-
copied the marriage of the very
young and polYgamY has outlaw
ed this pattern. Special radio pro-
grams for Arab women are car
ried by the Voice of Israel. They
comment on such subjects as child
care. integration of the sexes.
sanitary conditions. and the short
comings of harem life. These pro-
grams are not only for Arab wo-
men living in Israel. but also for
sister Arabs in Lebanon. Egypt.
and Syria where polYgamY still
exists.
While Arab women have not
yet been elected to the Knesset as
their menfolk have, Arab women
occupy, important positions as
clerks, teachers, social workers,
reporters, radio broadcasters, and
industrial workers. But the major
ity of Israel's Arab women are
fellaheen, the peasant class, who
had children or mothers depend
ent on them when Israel became
state. At the seventh annual
convention of the National Organ
ization of Women Workers, a COM
mittee of Arab women were rep
resented to report their progress
in organizing vocational courses
to give these women means of
making living. With the help of
Israel's federation of labor, the
Histadrut, Arab centers have been
set up where women and girls
learn domestic science, sewing,
bookkeeping, and Hebrew. These

In any discussion of women's
role in society, it may be agreed
that the lot of most women has
been work. Particularly peasant
women, like the large majority of
Arab women in Mandatory Pales-
tine who worked like beasts of
burden. And so long as she re-
manned illiterate, the peasant wo-
man was impervious to different
way of life.
When established. Israel felt
that the Arab woman was carry
ing too big a burden and the
wrong kind Of burden. She lacked
the basic necessities and oppor-
tunities. Hence Arab women in
Israel have been granted the vote

East are struggling for these

do not allow women to vote.
Not having fought the usual
feminist struggle, Israeps Arab
woman has not yet fully absorbed
the swift social changes cast upon
her and UNDERSTANDABLE so. But
signs of a changing Arab woman

This is particularly true among
