cSinai: Land Of Moses
Reclaimed By Egypt
National Geographic Newt Service
WASHINGTON -? As Israel
relinquishes Sinai, Egypt reclaims
a strategic peninsula contested by
nations and armies through the
C'centuries.
The Bible's "great and terrible
wilderness" into which Moses led
the Israelites in search of the
Promised Land, Sinai has also been
crisscrossed by conquerors beyond
counting. Since the time of the
Pharaohs armies have used this
natural land bridge between Asia
and Africa.
When Israel took Sinai from
p Egypt in the Six Day War of 1967,
Israeli tanks recrossed some of the
same routes followed by Egypt's
King Thutmose III when he at
tacked Palestine and Syria in the
15th century B.C.
Napoleon Waa There
Alexander the Great marched
through Sinai in 332 B.C. to
conquer Egypt, as did crusaders in
the 12th century. Turkish Sulton
r.Selim the Grim crossed in 1517 to
make Egypt part of the Ottoman
Empire. Napolean's armies
marched across its sands in 1799.
In 1917 British Gen. Edmund
Allenby mounted a successful at
tack upon Turkish - held Palestine
after building a railroad beside
Sinai's Mediterranean coastal
road.
1967-1973 Israel took Sinai from
Egypt in the Six Day War of 1967. But
Israeli-occupied Sinai (shown in
white) has steadily shrunk since the
1973 Yom Kippur war with Egypt.
How To Grow Tomatoes
Tomato seeds should be
?own indoors about eight
weeks before the date of the
last expected froet. Sow them
one-eighth of an inch deep in
flats or pota, and when the
aeedllnp are about an inch
tall, tranaplant them to indi
vidual three- to four-inch
pota. Keep them moist and in
a warm, sunny spot. Seedlings
are alao available at garden
centers. Chooee sturdy plants
in uncrowded flab.
YOUR
GARDEN
In the April issue of National
Geographic, Harvey Arden notes
that Egypt has exercised only
intermittent sovereignty over the
war-torn Sinai through the cen
turies.
"Ancient Egyptians controlled
only western Sinai, with its copper
and turquoise mines, and major
trans-desert routes -- the rest being
wilderness.... The Ottoman Turks
controlled most of Sinai for cen
turies before being driven back to
Palestine by Mohammed Ali in the
1830s.
"Later, after occupying Egypt in
1882, the British held varying
degrees of control over Sinai until
finally being ousted in 1954 by
President Anwar Sadat's predeces
sor, Gamal Abdel Nasser. Just 13
years later Israel seized control."
Thirty years of war between
Israel and Egypt ended with the
1979 treaty in which Israel
promised to withdraw from Sinai in
three years. But to Zionists who
have resisted Israel's withdrawal,
the northeast part of Sinai where
the Israelis built most of their
settlements is a God-given part of
the Promised Land.

Biblical stories come alive in
Sinai, where Moses and the Israel
ites wandered for 40 years.

miraculous escape from Egypt
through the sea into Sinai, Moses

Today similar oases dot the dunes
and wadis, or streambeds, of
northern Sinai and are home to

people.
The flocks of quail common to
Sinai's Mediterranean coast recall
the multitudes of quail the Bible
says God sent to feed the Israelites.
A sticky residue exuded by certain
insects on the bark of the tamarisk
tree in southern Sinai is often
equated with the mysterious
"manna" God fed to the hungering
tribes.
One of Sinai's rugged mountains
in the south, between the Gulfs of
Suez and Aqaba. is Gebel Musa
(Mount Sinai) where, tradition
holds. Mose9< received the Ten
Commandments. Nearby a
monastery stands on the reputed
site where God spoke to Moses
from the burning bush.
Famine brought Abraham,
patriarch of Judaism. Christianity,
and Islam, through Sinai on his
way to Egypt; the Prophet Elijah
took refuge from King Ahab and
Queen Jezebel on Gebel Musa; and
Mary. Joseph, and the infant Jesus
passed through Sinai, fleeing into
Egypt to escape the wrath of
Herod .

Extension Notes
Squeaky Floors
Can Be Repaired
by Chris Tiedemann
N.C. State University
Squeaky floors in your home
may be caused by sagging joists,
which have become crooked after
drying completely.
But, according to Dr. Glenda
Herman, extension housing
specialist at North Carolina State
University, there are several solu
tions to this problem.
Two solutions involving the
joists are to place 1 x 4 inch strips
snugly against the bottom of the
subfloor. nailed to the floor joists or
to use wooden wedges driven
between the subtloor and the top ot
the floor joists.
"A third solution may be the use
of screws which are driven from
the bottom side of the floor or
crawl space through the subfloor
into the finished floor," Dr. Her
man says. This is possible only
where the underside of the floor is
accessible.
Another common procedure for
correcting squeaking is to drive a
nail through the face of the floor
ing into the subfloor, preferably
into the floor joist. Drive the nail
near the tongue edge of the floor
ing strip, then set and fill the hole.
JAWS III
Hollywood likes to portray the
shark as a man-eater, but Joyce
Taylor of the North Carolina State
University Seafood Lab,
Morehead City, thinks it should be
the other way around.
"Not generally regarded as a
food fish in this country, many
sharks are widely eaten in other
areas of the world," she explains.
She recommends the smooth
dogfish shark, found off the North
Carolina coast from October to
July. "Similar to swordfish in
flavor and texture, the smooth
dogfish is excellent food," she
notes.
And, what's best, it is one of the
most abundant and least
dangerous sharks in the area,
feeding not on swimmers, but on
large crustaceans.
FAMILY INCOME
In July of 1981, the U.S. poverty
threshhold for a non-farm family
of four was $8,450. In North
Carolina, 17.5 percent of
households were below that level.
According to extension family
resource management specialists at
North Carolina State University,
that figure is up from 14.7 percent
in 1975.
Per capita income in the state in
1979 was estimated to range from
$4,086 in Avery County to $8,499
in Mecklenburg, for an average of
$7,382. Per capita income rose in
1980 to $7,819, but the state had
dropped from 39th to 41st in na
tional income ranking status.
