Egyptians To Have Surnames
At Last; Telephone Responsible
It is taken for granted in the
United States and other Western
countries that everybody has a
surname. But that isn't true every
where.
In Egypt, for instance, people
are going to have family names
for the first time in history. And
it all came about because of the
telephone.
Premier Gamal Abdul Nasser's
government has ordered Egyptians
to adopt family namets, reports
The Christian Science Monitor.
The reason? Egyptian names fol
low so little logic that they result
In the world's most useless tele
phone directories.
For example, explains The Moni
tor:
Moustafa, son of Mahmoud
| Amine Youssef, is known as
Moustafa Amine. Egyptians say
this is logical, but can't explain
why.
Zaghloul Ali and Mohamed
Wagdi are brothers. But at any
given moment, Zaghloul Ali may
turn out to be Ali Abdel Sayed.
To Egyptians, the two names ob
viously refer to the same man.
He just happens to use a differ
ent set of his many names if he
ferls like it.
This system worked well for
Egyptians for centuries, but the
coming of the telephone has
caused complications.
Suppose you want to ring up
your friend Mohamed Ahmed.
You look for the listing "Ahmed,
Mohamed." Under the "A's" you
will find 163 Ahmed Mohameds,
but no Ahmed, Mohamed. You
then realize that to find Moham
ed Ahmed you have to look un
der "Mohamed," not "Ahmed."
Back in the "M's," you wade
through no fewer than 40 pages
of Mohamed (including two pages
of Mohamed Mohameds). You
find 159 Mohamed Ahmeds sprawl
ing over two full pages. You then
realize that Mohamed Ahmed is
only a small piece of your friend's
name. Running down the list, you

Did you ever try walking
through the woods at night and
suddenly burst a spider's webb
with your face? Or try pulling
two feet of a saw-brier between
your toes when you were bare
foot? Did you ever get up at
night and hang your little toe
on a table leg. or step on a rug
that shot one foot south and
the other north? Did you ever
fill your mouth with food ten
times too hot when the only
thing you had to cool it was a
cup of boiling hot coffee? Did
you ever stoop over and as you
raised your head decided sud
denly to kiss the corner of a
shelf? Did you eyer have your
best friend make vows that
were broken ? that broke your
heart? Did you ever ?
Of course you have. If you have
never had any of these or simi
lar experiences you don't know
how to sympathize with your
country grocery man. If I run
out of eggs and bread ? every
one wants eggs and bread.
When I fail to get a delivery I
on a certain flour ? all who j
want flour want that kind and |
no other. If I close out a slow
moving item ? I have more
calls than ever for it. Many
times I accommodate and trust
those who trade with me, then
see them suddenly quit with
several dollars worth of my
hard earned groceries ? And
not even thank me for them.
Oh yes, your country grocery
,-nan gets many knocks ? is kick
ed about and criticized, but he j
(the Lord only knows how) I
keeps trying to please the hun
dreds who stop by. And many
(more than ever) who appre
ciate the country grocery store,
have proven to me that I have
the best friends and neighbors
in the world.
Mill Days ? Tuesday and ,
Saturday Only.

How Simple ? To Travel to Heaven
HOW simple it is to travel to any town across the land! Simply
make sure that yob are on the right train and that you stay on
it. Obey the simple rules of the road. That's all. You're sure to
jet there.
How simple it is to travel to our Heavenly Father's land. Just
make sure that you are on the right road and that you stay on
It. Obey the simple rules. That's all. You're sure to get there.
Engineers and train crews must know the intricacies of rail
roading. Passengers can learn them for their own benefit but
as trains are for everybody, he who knows but little will get
there just as surely and as comfortably if he stays on the train
and adheres to its rules.
Theologians and teachers must know the fine points of the
God -Built road to Heaven. Laymen are encouraged to study
these also. But as God's train must be for every man, so he who
knows but little must get there just as surely and comfortably
if he stays on the train and obeys the rules.
With simplicity of reasoning the Catholic Is convinced that
God founded one true church, which because it is God's "train",
must be perfect in itself and in its operation. To insure this the
Catholic believes that God made His engineer, the Pope, In
fallible in the running of the locomotive ? that he divinely
empowered the Priests, His train crew, to direct, serve and feed
the passengers ? and that therefore, for the masses of Catho
lics, simple Faith and simple obedience form the full paid ticket
from here to eternity.
Just as a machine with many complex parts may be simple
in operation, so the complexities of the will of an infinite God
become simple for the man of Faith who harks to the words of
Our Lord Jesus, "He that doeth the will of My Father who is in
Heaven, He shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven." (Matt.
7:21).
