Friday, January 11, 1957 — THE DETROIT JE

z

A companion home to American Community Builders'
first luxury tri-level project in the Detroit area is now being
offered in Southfield Farms. It's the new luxury ranch home,
located on 10 Mile, between Greenfield and Southfield.

The American Beauty ranch
home will be interspersed with
luxury tri-level homes, now be-
ing constructed in Southfield
Farms by American Commun-
ity Builders.
All of the homes, to be erected
in the 10 Mile-Greenfield area,
will have two baths, three bed-
rooms, a panelled den and full
basement. Built-in Philco ovens,
ranges, refrigerators and freez-
ers will be included in the
original price.
The homes, with five eleva-
tions from which to choose, are
situated 1 1 /2 miles north of the
Northland Shopping Center,
near schools, synagogues and
the new Jewish Community
Center. Paved streets and side-
walks and Detroit water and
sewers are other features.
The 21-foot living 'room is
L-shaped, and has a large. 8 x 16,
three panel "pella" panoramic
window. The dining area ad-
joins the living room. In addi-
tion to the kitchen appliances
mentioned, a dish washer and
air-conditioner are offered as
authorized extras. American
Community Builders offer buy-
ers "Reddy Wired" conveni-
ences to accommodate elec-
trically all the power equipment
needed.
In addition to the new ranch
home, the American Beauty , tri-

level is offered in the Southfield
Farms development, offering the
same included-in price luxuries.
The tri-level is offered in three
or four bedrooms, 21/2 baths; den
and maid's room.
The ranch is priced at $25,990,
with a $6,990 down payment re-
quired. A limited number will
be sold with this financing. The
tri-level sells for $26,990, with
an $8,790 down payment.
All sales are handled by the
Gordon Williamson Co., one of
the leading traders of homes,
thus enabling trade-in of a pur-
chaser's present home with no
waiting for the new home while
still obtaining full market price
for his present home.
The main office of Gordon
Williamson is at 19180 Grand
River, with a branch located at
23341 Plymouth. American Com-
munity Builders maintain of-
fices at 18130 Fenkell.

B-G Defends Secrecy of Sinai Operation

(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)

JERUSALEM—Israel's diplo-
matic representatives learned of
the Sinai operation via the
press, Premier Ben-Gurion dis-
closed in the Knesset Wednes-
day.
He stated the need for secrecy
was such that five days before
the campaign "only one person
in Israel" knew of the pending
event.
The Foreign Ministry, too,
had no intimation of the event,
he revealed, when he replied to
a criticism from the opposition,
that the government's informa-
tion services are bad, ineffec-
tive and sometimes harmful.
Herut speaker Altman and
General Zionist Ariav intro-
duced motions for debate on the
issue, not on party lines, but
in the interest of state. A point

raised by both was that even
friends of Israel criticized
public relations as ineffective
and/or non-existent.
The failure to use this vital
arm for public opinion, they
asserted—both locally and over-
seas—invalidated brilliant ex-
ploits in many fields and also
set at naught the glorious vic-
tories of the Sinai campaign.
Israel, they asserted, is always
on the defensive in matters per-
taining to publicity, while the
initiative of others presented
the Israeli side as an apologia
postfactum.
After Ben-G-urion's reply, both
sponsors of the motion agreed
to _ submit the matter to the
committee on security and
foreign -affairs which the Pre-
mier suggested would be more
useful than general debate.
