Small though as Palestine is, every city has its own character ex- pressed in terms of its architecture. Although nearly the same systems of construction prevails through- out Palestine, that is, reinforced concrete column and beam con- struction, the external appearance harmonizes with the spirit of every city. It expresses perfectly the life that is going on within: New Haven, Michigan Tel-Aviv is the so-called "little Paris of the Orient."

This im- pression accords well with the spir- it of youthful enthusiasm and vigor that are characteristic of the city although a sturdy cultural and eco- nomic life has already taken root there. Up north, on the coast, only with- in a two-hour ride from Tel-Aviv, lies Palestine's modern port, Haifa. Here th% buildings tell one a diff- erent story.

Every- thing here is tinged with historical THE NEW YEAR significance, the air pugnant with mysteries of bygone days. The same type of stone that is found in the vicinity of Jerusalem is used for facing of the buildings. Even the sidewalks until lately were paved with flat stones. The ten- dency toward modern architecture is as great in Jerusalem as in Tel- Aviv, but the stone element gives a different character to the whole city. The planning and style of the buildings in the small settlements is influenced and governed by de- fense factors. For instance, one large settlement in the Emek Manufacturers of (Nahalal) is planned in a circular form. All streets converge in the central part where specially con- structed buildings could take in most of the population in case the first outside defense lines fail to hold out against any unexpected attack. in modern utilitarian convenienc- es Palestine is not behind many of the very advanced countries.
