Israel Becontes Land of Sabras

By ELIAIIU SALPETER
(Copyright, 1969, JTA, Inc.)
JERUSALEM—During and after
1948, being a sabra meant not only
that one was probably pampered
even more than an overpampered
Jewish child usually is (no matter
whether he was raised in Tel Aviv,
Afula or a kibutz) but that one
also felt obliged to do certain
things: like joining the Pa'mach
(unless you joined Etzel or Lehi).
refuse to wear long trousers and
be less polite in nubile than you
really wanted to be.
The number of Israel-b o r n
among the population, naturally,
kept growing but their percentage
climbed slowly because of the an-
nual huge waves of immigration
that came in the first decade of
Israel's statehood.
In recent years, however, their
total numbers, as well as the re-
duction in the size of immigra-
tion, began to add up to a grow-
ing percentage of Israel-born
among the country's Jewish popu-
lation.
According to the latest govern-
ment statistical yearbook sabras
now account for 44 per cent of the
Jewish population. Thus, unless
there is an unexpected sudden
wave of immigration, locally born
Israelis will soon form the major-
ity of the Jewish population—for
the first time since the Zionist
dream began to be turned into a
reality.
Among the Israel-born there are
among them heroes and emigrants.
just as among people who immi-
grated five, 10 or 30 years ago.
There are among them truck-
drivers and university professors.
composers and crap-shooters.
transplant surgeons and transplant
patients.

Civil Defense Volunteers
Assigned in Israel Cities

JERUSALEM (JTA)—Volunteer
civil defense units are being es-
tablished in Israeli cities to com-
bat a new wave of terrorist activi-
ties against civilian centers. The
volunteers are persons who have
passed the age limits for both
active and reserve military duty.
Civilian volunteer units were set
Up in Haifa in the aftermath of
a series of bombings that killed
two persons and severely damaged
five apartment buildings. In Jeru-
salem, Mayor Teddy Kollek and
Police Superintendent David Barell
announced the creation of a civil
defense guard in addition to about
120 Hagana veterans who have
been serving in that capacity for
some time.
The volunteers have been given
Special police powers. Formation
of a similar guard was announced
in Petah Tikva. The volunteers are
assigned to patrol the streets and
the approaches to their towns.
They are selected from local resi-
dents because they are able to
Identify stranger4, entering their
towns or neighborhoods.

Still, there are a number of
"quality focuses" in this group:
they have a better-than-average
health profile, they produce more
than their average share of com-
bat officers, they account for a
large majority of "inter-mar-
riages" between children of Euro-
pean and of Oriental families.
An analysis of their consump-
tion patterns also shows that they
spend more on food, entertain-
ment, furniture and every other
category of household purchases
than consumers who immigrate
from either Western or Oriental
countries.
The statistical yearbook shows
that in 1969, for the first time in
Israel's history, there is an equal
number of European and Oriental
Jews (immigrants of first genera-
tion) among the population—about
46 per cent each. The remaining
eight per cent are second-genera-
tion sabras.
The total population of the coun-
try, at the end of September 1969,
reached 2,906,000 people, of whom
about 2,480,000 were Jews and
420,000 non-Jews, almost all Arabs.
The latter figure represents a sud-
den jump during the last two
years since it includes about 70,-
000 Arabs in East Jerusalem.
On the face of it, the statistical
yearbook contains some alarming
news for the fair maidens of Is-
rael. At the end of 1967, about 44
per cent of all women in the 20 to
24 year category were still un-
married, compared to 34 per cent
unmarried in the same age group
10 years before.
Just to reassure worry-prone
Jewish mothers: in 1969 things
again returned, more or less to
normal. Girl meets boy, girl gets
boy and they live happily ever
after—unless they belong to the
9.5 per cent of marriages that end
in divorce.

Dover Geometrical
Excitement Books

December 21, 1969

Dover is presenting two books
which offer more than usual so-
porific text. The first, "Problems
and Solutions in Euclidean Geo-
metry" by M. N. Aref and William
Wernick (paperback), is designed
as a second course in Euclidean
i geometry. It contains the Euclid-
can theorems and corollaries rel-
' evant to each chapter plus a num-
ber of problems which are fully
worked out and illustrated with
over 200 figures.
For the more advanced math-
ematical scholar, Dover has pub-
; fished a "History of the Conic
'Sections and Quadric Surfaces" by
Julian Lowell Coolidge (paper-
back). First published in 1945, it
deals with the discovery and de-
velopment of theories concerning
the three conic sections and the
(second degree surfaces.
