Somebody in the Turkish
government has come up with
the idea that a proverb in
hand is worth two propaganda
birds in the bush.
Along with letters from
home, bills and notices of
August sales, there is cur
rently turning up in Washing
ton mailboxes "A Brief Selec-
ton of Turkish Proverbs"
Offering respite in the
days of doldrums the preface
to the little book points out
that the brief selection of
Turkish proverbs will give an
attentive reader insight into
the wisdom, humor, practical
experience and mentality of
the Turkish people"
The work has been printed
in both French and English
and is being distributed here,
in England and in France.
The proverb-gatherer feels
that by studying sayings" it
Is possible to follow a peoples
social. cultural and economic
evolution, together with their.
spiritual. moral and emotional
development.
A proverb they say is The
wisdom of centuries distilled
into compact form for every
day USE"
A few examples, courtesy of
this attentive reader.
