Many more passengers than the number permitted. She
asked further, how is it possible to lend a hand to
abandoning helpless girls to drivers who enslave them?
Why do we have to see and keep silent? Her appeal to
"That Which Hurts" was transferred to the Staff Comman-
dant of the Dan Region of the Israeli police.

"The police reply," writes Haelyon, " which reached us
at the beginning of April, 1974, included a recommenda-
tion to approach the Employment Service about the control
of the work of Arab women who come to the moshav. We were
not satisfied. . .and appealed again to the police. . .
and passed the reply to the complainer, who in turn, being
disappointed with the police's work, wrote again: "It
hurts us that in the Israel State, 1974, we all lend a

during visits there. The police will continue their con-

After five months, Mrs. Egozi (who wanted to wait and see
how things would turn out) replied that in spite of the
police operation, the "Raises" continue to act as they
please. In the meantime, however, because of the economic
situation, the number of workers in the moshav went down,
which seems to temporarily reduce the seriousness of the
phenomenon. She argued that although Moshav Rishpon is
