(Uy ISABELLE BADDOVR)
Roturninfi fTOm 8 four months’
visit to hi* native country of Leban
on. a small Asia Minor republic,
just southeast of Palestine. Neil
Joseph t*lls of his travels that
would be the envy of any one who
dream* °f foreign places. Mr.
Joseph, prominent local merchant,
was accompanied by'his nephew,
Resile Farfouv on this his third trip
to his nahve land since he carne to
America twenty-seven years ago
Thay sailed on the 25th day of
May aboard the Queen Mary and
afier four days and eight hours ar
rived at South Hampton, where
they took the train to London. Af
ter spending three days In London,
sightseeing at Buckingham Palace,
Westminster Abbey, the old pal
aces o< Queen Ann, Henry the
Eighth, Tower and its iarnous
dungeon*, they crossed the English
Channel to Calaiv. In Paris they
wart inet by a friend. Dr. Younis.
who acted as guide, showing them
places of interest in the beautiful
city Mr. Joseph tells his colorful |
story: I
"WY inspected the principal de
partment stores in Paris, and such |
historic places as Lc Piintemp, Tai
Galleria de La Payette. La PIocp tie j
Concorde, I-<es Champs Eludes. the
Luu-.-re, the Tower of Fffcl, and of
course the Follies Bcrgerea.
"From Pans we went to Mar
seilles where we spent two days and;
among Die beautiful scenes we
viewed was the Notre name Do Fa
Garde on the top of the hill, look
ing down to the sea and ovpr Mar
ie ill es.
"Wc sailed from Marseilles, pass
ing through Italy on to Alexandria.
Egypt* Wc were fortunate enough
to see on our way the \ clcano at
night and the beauty of fire from
the mountain at night is inconceiv
able. We remained five days in
Alexandria. There they wear the
'(e?. and hafara' (native dress) and
are not *=> influenced by the Euro
pean trend We saw the palace 'of
Farouk. Kiflg of Egypt, and the
Corniche, where the people bathe
on the sea shore
“The people there speak Arabic.
Fiench and English. 1 was fortu
nate in being able to speak all
three.
“From Egypt we went to Pales
tine where the boat anchored, for
we did rot dare to go into the city
because of the war between the
Arabs and the Jews.
“Wc went on to Beirut the tap
ital city of Lebanon Wc were met
by- approximately 150 people in
cluding the Boy Scout division,
headed by Scoutmaster Eduard Mu
rad. the guard of tho Archbishop Sa
leeby, and representatives of the
Ministers. Leslie and I were thrilled
a*, such an unexpected reception
Wo went directly to Harnana, my
native toown, which .s situated at
the top of the mountain, one hour's i
drive frm Bierut. Wt spent over
three months In Lebanon, visiting
our relatives ami viewing the ueau- j
tiiul scenery, the famous Cedars of .
Lebanon, mentioned in the B.blc. ■
the Cave of Kariisha, one of the j
Seven Wonders of the World, and!
the ruins of Baalbek ;
"We were he-orod at a reception
at the Falls of Hamana by the pres
ident of the ministers of Iraq. Le
banon, Palestine, F.gypt, and Bas
Jacl. a*, which we were presented
tli? flag of Lebanon to bring to Am
erica to the Lebanese of North Cat-,
nl in a. i
‘'Burins the latter part of our1
visit the people were in turmoil
over the war Situation. The ban*
stopped cashing checks and the in
vestors were drawing their money
from the banks. People began to
buy provisions for the entire year
and the French government ordered
the people living on the border to .
move into the interior. Mobilua-1
tion of troop* took form and guns |
placed near the shores. Seeing |
these activities, we began to make
our plans to return to America. I
"From Beirut we sailed on the j
ship. La Providence, to Alexandria:
from there to Marseilles, where we
spent the day at the world re
nowned Marseilles Zoo and on to
Paris for a four day stay There we |
saw the King of Belgium passing .
through to witness the unveiling of
the statue of his father. After shop
ping at fashion shops in Paris we
returned to America from Cher
bourg on the thirteenth of October j
aboard Hie Queer. Mary, and landed
in America on the eighteenth.
Upon being asked if he were glad
to return Mr. Joseph said. "We
were delimited to make the trip, but
also glad to come back to North
Carolina., to be again with our
frier 4 and Hwav from the wav
clouds."
