HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1957-08-08, Page 7Egyptian Puzzle It would be interesting and helpful to know what was Presi- dent Nasser's thought behind one phrase he used in the address opening Egypt's new National Assembly, The meeting of this assembly, he said, was not a re- turn td parliamentary life in Egypt but "the beginning of par- liamentary life" there. One would like to believe this was a recognition of the fact that parliamentary government in Egypt will need eventually a broader base than the election of a hand-picked slate of assem- bly candidates. Some contests were permitted, but afterap- proximately half the prospective candidates had been ruled out by Calonel Nasser's National Union. The tone of the rest of the speech, however, suggests an- other possible interpretation. This is that the parliaments which existed under a half cen- tury of British tutelage — and which, with whatever faults of corrution or zeal, permitted ex; , pression of more than one Egyp- tian point of view — do not count. Such a reading would imply that one-party government controlled by ,an originally mili- tary junta is regarded as a per- manent pattern. It appear;; true that the Nas- ser regime has substantial ac- complishments to its credit in at least two fields — land re- form and school construction. One could wish that these efforts and initiation of the Aswan Darn had gone, forward without the accompaniment of Soviet -bloc arms purchases and Suez Canal nationalization. Only Egyptians can judge whether their inter- ests might be better served by still more attention to internal impro'-ement and less to the stirring of external antagonisms. But the question is whether even now, with the possession of a National Assembly — which President Nasser could dissolve at any moment — Egyptians will Ret an opportunity to express such judgments. — From The Christian Science Monitor.

They are sel- dom lost for very long and when they are found they are swiftly returned to their owners. For their good fortune the dogs and their masters have to thank a national voluntary or- ganization that is 25 years old this year. Holland possesses many welfare services but the organization known as Stichting Amivedi (Animal Lovers' Foun- dation) is perhaps unique. It provides the human link be- tween the owner of a pet, the police, the animal protection societies, andd the finder of a stray. I found out how it works when I met the Baron van Pal- landt in Hilversum, the nation's radio city. He has been working for the Stichting in. Hilversum for a year and he has found 50 dogs during that time and re- turned them to their owners. The Baron explained that a group of people in Utrecht 25 years ago decidede that a great deal of unhappiness was caused by the fact that though lost ani- mals were often found, there was no organization to return them to their owners. The ani- mals were brought to a protec- W EKLY EDITOR HONORED—Horace V. Wells Jr., right, editor of the Clinton, Tenn., Courier -News, receives the 1957 Elijah P. Lovejoy Award for Courage in Journalism. Wells, a defender of the Supreme Court's school integration ruling in Clinton, despite threats from extremists, was cited for "realistic devotion to the principles of law and order" at the annual National Conference of Weekly Newspaper Editors. tion society's kennels and re- mained there unless the owner, made constant visits to see if he could spot his pet. So the Stichting Amivedi came into being. Over the years it has created new branches in nearly all the large cities ill Holland and it has earned, praise from the public and from the police. Its work is especially impor- tant in a country with large city populations but it is made es- sential by the fact that 'Dutch'. law provides several statutes, that protect the domestic pet. In the first place an animal that has strayed cannot be killed unless it is severely injured. In the second, the finder of a dog must immediately report his find to the police. If he fails to do so with 24 -hours he may be heavily fined. A third statute safeguards the property rights of the owner of a stray. If a stray is given to a new owner it must be given up if the original owner comes forward to claim it, writes Ian Rodger in The Christian Science Monitor. Such regulations mean that there is a great deal of work to be done that cannot be done by the normal organizations that exist in other countries. They create the need for. the do hunters of the Stitching Amly The Baron told me tlx often spends a whole day loo ing for a dog. On less difnicul days he usually starts by tele- phoning the police for the latest reports. When he has checked his list of found dogs with the Hist of dogs reported missing he begins his regular rounds. These rounds include visits to people who have been given strays that cannot be traced to their owners. Once a month he calls en them to make sure that the animal is in good health. On some of his calls he gives advice about the care and feeding of pets and he provides pamphlets and some medicines without charge. He has a car of his own but the Stitching gives him a travel allowance and pays for his cleri- cal and postal work. But his time and his labor are given free. For his reward he has the •i satisfaction of playing a very necessary and human role in i,; Dutch society and there is no doubt that he, like the other •' members of the Stichting Ami ' vdi thoroughly enjoys his work. '. Asa true animal lover, he de- t,, rives as much pleasure from re -::t turning a mongrel to a small boy as he does from rescuing a pedigree prizewinner. e .,(t Flocks Of lying Jewels -Deep in the great caves of Trinidad, high up among the moaning pines of Haiti, and now ,again here between the cold mangroves and the sea of mud, 'we have found ourselves in places that were strangely un- real, unearthly, and apart, as if they were on another planet. Such other -worldly • places need not be grim and forbidding; they may be places of absolute - pure, soft beauty. This shell .r`; bank by the sea was one of these. Lying there under the even.- ing sun with the fresh mellow winds puffing at our faces, we could not belive it possible that there could be any other peo- ple in the world, or that a town of even the size of Paramaribo was less than seventy miles away. From being an austere and lifeless bit of mangrove - haunted mud facing an endless stretch of muddy sea, the place had become a distant paradise. How can I say this of an area that is entirely covered with mud and mangroves? I will tell you, but first let me make sure o%.. cine thing: do you know a ird 'called the red ibis? t is essential to describe this hely creature before I try to re` you any impression of the oast of Surinam that evening, *cause the mud flats as far as the eye could reach in any di- rection were covered with countless multitudes of these birds. They are long-legged Wading birds with the charac- • teristic down -curved bill of the ibises. , .. The entire plumage is, right enough, red rather than green, blue or yellow, but in it are mingled all the salmon - pinks, roseate reds and brilliant flames that any artist qould ima- gine. iJnder the warm light of the evening sun these natural jewels came sailing across the rich blue sky in unending flocks, landing among their brethren on the mud. With them came great flights of snow-white egrets, beating the air with laboured difficulty,. their thin black legs trailing behind them. Every now and then bevies of brown bitterns or bright blue herons would come out of the two little creeks like flights of arrows... As the sun sank lower, there came a raucous screeching., mingled with insolent cries, shrieks, whistles, cat calls and all the other uproar that only parrots can produce. By tens, by ,, hundreds, they came along the Oast, blotting out the sky, fill- ing the air with their yelling, and driving the wheeling vul- tures and hovering fishing - eagles far up into the higher air. What, makes parrots such friendly creatures? I believe there are two answers to this question: first, because they are never ashamed of proclaiming themselves, and, secondly, be- cause they always fly in pairs, the little husband and wife beating along wing -tip to wing - tip After tea we strolled round to the little creek that backed our shell spit. Here the setting sun made an orange mirror of the still water as it twisted among billow ng waves of vivid green mangroves, Above, flight after flight of flaming ibisies and snowy egrets and blue herons kept passing. — From "Carrib- bean Treasure," by Iain' T.
