Transcribed from the clipping
NAZARETH, Israel—Jews and Arabs are living together in peace in this ancient town, and the fact that they are doing so is proof that peace is possible in the Middle East. Nazareth has grown rapidly since the establishment of the State of Israel, and for years it has had an in adequate water supply. There are no springs in Nazareth and water sources are far away.

Context added by this archive
A reader-correspondent piece: a South Jersey welfare worker writing home from Israel, run with a staff-set headline and dek plus an italic editor's note introducing him. The dek field holds the printed deck only ('Says It Proves Peace Possible In Middle East'); the editor's note and the standing folio are excluded.
People of Palestine are called 'Arabs'; no ordinary individual is named. The framing is the softest in the batch - amity, proof of peace - and makes a useful contrast with the 1949 refugee-camp item.
