CAIRO, EGYPT

Despite border warfare and
military regime, Egyptian tour
companies are again exploiting
the country's traditional tourist
attraction-the Pyramids.
Travellers going through the
Suez Canal are encouraged to
leave the ship at Port Said,
motor to Cairo by car or bus for
a fast look at the Pyramids and
then rejoin the ship at Suez at
the lower end of the canal.
The trip, which can also be
made from Suez, takes about "a
hours and ranges in price from
S18 to about $45. depending on
accommodations.
Stopped Frequently
Promoters Of the tours would
like the traveller to think that all
is normal and peaceful. Thus,
when our car was stopped a
dozen times on the four-hour
ride IRON Port Said to Cairo, the
tour guide glibly explained that
the stops were simply made to
be sure the chauffeur had his
drivers license.
The fact that the checkpoints
were manned by soldiers rather
than policemen and that there
were few intersecting roads was
simply ignored by the guide.
The trip to Cairo was made at
night. A kerosene lamp beside
the road meant we were due to
stop again. Then, our driver
would shout something to
soldiers wearing old Army over
coats over their Arab robes and
we would be allowed to continue.

A WORD
TO THE WISE
RoUsoN
By MRS. FRANK COLBY

Houston: viii you tell us the
correct pronunciation of the
word "tarpaulin," and also what
its origin is?-T. McV.
Answer: A tarpaulin is a wa
terproof canvas sheet which is
almost universally referred to as
a r-POLE-yun": but such a
pronunciation will not be found
in any dictionary. Perhaps the
"pole" sound of the second syl-
liable is the result Of mistaking
tarpaulin for a French word,
and, indeed. it does have a
French look. But there is no
such word in French. In that
language a tarpaulin is called
goudronnee, from .goudron,
tar"
The origin of the English word
lis uncertain. although Merriam
Webster's thinks it may be from
tar plus "palling," meaning
Cloth"
At any rate. the word is pro-
nounced according to English
values, in which "au" has the
sound Of "aw," as in law, NAV.
Say: tahr-PAW-lin.
Roswell: When quoting para
graphs In a letter. where do the
quotation marks go2-Stenog-
lraphers.
Answer: The rule is: When a
quotation consists Of several
paragraphs, quotation marks
should be placed at the begin
ming Of each paragraph. and at
the end Of the last paragraph
only.
Ann Arbor: How would you
pronounce the word "Joule"i
Some Of us say "jowl." others
say "Joe." I think neither is
correct.-A. w. B.
Answer: The "joule," a unit
of energy, was named for the
English physicist. James p
Joule. who pronounced his sur
name "jowl." to rhyme with
|"howl." However, the diction-
Iaries state that. in the United
States. the word is commonly
pronounced "jool" to rhyme witt

the setting trick.
His reasoning at trick two was
excellent. From Mr.. Dale's dia-
mond raise and lead Of the six
of diamonds. plus Mr.. Muzzy's
play of the eight spot, he figured
he could win only one trick in
that suit.
Heart winners were out Of
the question. He might win two
spades, but apparently the set
ting trick, if it were available
at all, would have to come from
clubs.

element. The club winner had

to thank anybody for, since the

by the 80 farmers present was the

The bill with its high supports
for basic crops, the multi-price

and high supports for feed
grains, will be harmful to agri-
