Egypt Travelogue Is Shown Saturday

Five thousand years of building from the “high dam" at Aswan to modern Cairo, ancient Alexandria, the Suez canal from Suez to Port Sa-id, and the great pyramids of Giza . were brought alive to more than 200 local people who attended the traveldgtte B"d lecture >on Egypt by Jackson Winter at the DecatUr Community Center Saturday night. The noted traveler started his movies, which were heightened by appropriate background music, at the temple of Abu-Simbel, built bv the great Pharoah Kamr eses II 3,200 years ago. This temple, he noted, was going to be moved, as the present site will be inundated by the waters of the “high dam" at Aswan, now under construction. Aswan Dam This dam, the greatest feat by Egyptians since the days of the Pharoahs, will provide electricity for the entire Nile river valley, where the great majority of

the 27 million Egyptians live. Winter then fla-’.ied the works of several of the greatest pharoahs on the screen, including their mummies, with their dryedup smiling faces contrasting with the golden death masks. Modern Cairo. capital of Egypt, its fine hotels, ancient sections, and its hustle and bustle were brought to the eyes and ears of the audience. Modern buildings, highlighted by camels crossing in front of them, contrasted the old ways with the new. Visit New Factories Obviously well-acquainted with many > upper-class Egyptians, Winter conveyed his audience through rug-weaving factories, where young children with supple fingers worked after school hours, through class and glass industries, goldsmith works, and many other interesting native places. The Chicago native took the

group up the Nile river to Luxor, the site of ancient Thebes, and the valley of the Kings. Beautiful gardens, ancient tombs, island hide-aways, and other interesting sights contrasted in the land of sunlight. ’ Several sunsets over the Nile - with desert in the background were shown. Through Canal A highlight of the interesting lecture was a trip through Suez canal, which is operating a higher profit now than before when the French and British operated it. Travel is slow, and the canal '•is presently too narrow for vessels to pass, so that traffic is one-way, and ships frequently have to wait for days to get through. The original canal was not built, he stressed, by the Frenchman DeLe-sups, but by the Egyptians themselves 2.000 years before Christ’s birth; they operated it from the Red Sea to the Nile river, rather than to the Mediterranean sea. A harbor in Alexandria, founded by Alexandria the Great as his city in 332 8.C., is now being drained in a search for the palace and grave of the famous world conquer er. who was buried in Alexandria in 323 B.C. Climb Sphinx' The sphinx and two lesser pyramids of Giza were then shown, and finally the great pyramid of Khufu (Cheops) the fifth dynasty ruler whose mighty tomb, containing millions of tons of polished blocks averaging Wi tons each, has lasted since 3,200 8.C., and was an ancient wonder and tourist site to the early Greeks and Romans. Winter finished his lecture, which held the attention of all the adults present and many ot the older children, by showing his ascent of the southeast corner . of the great pyramid with a man who makes his living by climbing the pyramid to the top, as high as a 40 story building, and down, in 7 minutes. Four Accidents Are Reported In County Saturday’s snowstorm brought the usual rash of traffic accidents, as the Adams county sheriff’s department investigated a total of four mishaps that day, with three occurring during the heavy snowfall. A truck suffered an estimated SI,OOO damage in a mishap at 6:05 p.m. Saturday, two miles north of Decatur on US. 27, at the intersection of the Monmouth road. Delber Henry Fuelling, 34, of route 3, Decatur, had pulled off the side of the Monmouth road, at the intersection of 27, to aid a driver whose car was stalled. An unidentified car traveling south on 27 slowed down upon seeing the two vehicles, and the truck, '■which was following the car, was unable to stop. Herbert Carl Wachholz, 41, of Milwaukee, Wis., applied the brakes of his truck and the vehicle jacknifed and went off the side of the road, striking a portion of the Fuelling vehicle. Damage to Fuelling’s car was estimated at SSO by deputy sheriff Harold August and state trooper Gene Rash. Two Collide At 6:15 p.m., two cars collided on U.S. 27, three miles south of Decatur, at the intersection of county road 10. Daniel John Hostetler, 16. route 2, Lydia, 0., was southbound and slowing to make a turn onto the county road. He failed to signal, > according to the investigating officers, and was struck in the rear by an auto operated by Walter Glen Joseph, 23, of Convoy, 0. Damages were estimated at SIOO to the Hostetler car and S3O to the Joseph vehicle by sheriff Roger Singleton. An accident involving a car and an Amish buggy, in which no one was injured, was reported to the sheriff’s department. The accident occurred at 10:30 p.m. Saturday on county road 33, or the 'Hie Mill Road, threefourths of a mile north of Berne. No Injuries —- Arnold Martin, 41, of Berne, was southbound and the buggy driven by Martin Wickey, 21, route 1, Berne, was northbound. Due to the weather conditions, visibility was almost nil, and the two vehicles collided. The car received $175 damage and the buggy was damaged considerably, although no one was injured. Deputy August investigated a one-car mishap at the south edge of the Berne city limits on U.S. 27, that occurred at 12:25 • p.m. Saturday. Calvin Richard Adams, 39-year-old Berne resident, came upon a slow-moving vehicle, as both were northbound. Adams was unable to stop in time and in attempting to avoid a collision, pulled to the right. The car traveled over 100 feet off the side of the road and crashed into a cement culvert. The 1963 model station wagon Adams was driving, received approximately $1,500 damage. - Woodwork Wash varnished woodwork with lukewarm water, to which a small amount of furniture polish has been added, and you will achieve a nice, glossy shine on your woodwork.

Discussion on dredging the Lewis Long ditch has been temporarily postponed, they stated. Fire Department Answers Two Calls The local fire department was called to the home of Virgil Andrews, 216 S. 11th St., this morning when a gas dryer apparently overheated. Mrs. Andrews was using the dryer when it began smoking excessively and she' notified the firemen about 9:30 a.m. Only damage done was to the dryer, as there was no actual fire.
