Village - External.

Attitude of Women to Urbanisation, Westernisation.

Women of i(Fuad Uok)'s household - i(Fatime Uok), his gelin from Kayseri, his wife Aye and others - saying what a good thing the coming of lorries to the
village was - now they were in close touch with the city and cld. get anything they want. Sabahlin gider, akamda gelir {goes in the morning, comes evening}.
Makes life v. pleasant - life out in village cheap, no rent, basic food supplies at hand - fields, own land and animals - and when anything special needed, it
can be fetched easily from the city. Attitude that this closer communication with the city was to be approved of.

k<lorry service to town, women approve>
