she said of the Egyptians. If it
happens, the former word is used.
If it doesn't happen, the latter is
in order.
Dr. Silva spoke to the Faculty
Luncheon Club Monday on "Mod
ern Egypt."
During her stay in Egypt, she
saw Egyptian history made: the
establishment of land reform, the
abolition of the old parties in
favor of one party, and the proc
lamation of a new republic.
Egyptians ar e an easy-going,
friendly, and generous people, she
said, and the country is a "society
of contrast."
Egyptian Likes Gadgets
"Most upper class people want
you to like Egypt very much," Dr.
Silva said. However, the Egyp
tian, despite his loyalty to his
country, takes a greater interest
in American and European gad
gets, she added.
"Never admire anything an
Egyptian has," she said, "because
he will give it to you. If it is too
big to carry he will have his ser
vant deliver it to you the next
day."
No matter how lowly an Egyp
tian may be, he will always find
something more lowly. As an il
lustration she pointed to her ser
vant, who refused to carry groc
eries. He felt that this was below
him, so hired someone else to
carry them.
Speak 3 Languages
A group of university students
went on strike not long ago de
manding that they have servants
to shine their shoes and to per
form other minor tasks which
they felt were below them, she
said. As a result, the students no
longer have to shine their shoes;
Dr. Silva said.
Many of the people speak three
languages in one sentence, she
said. They may combine French
verbs, English nouns, and Arabic
adjectives in one sentence.
In discussing the "society of
contrast" Dr. Silva recalled that
some Egyptian women dressed in
clothes reminiscent of* Biblical
times, while others wear clothes
that would "put Parisian women
to shame." She pointed out that
a man may be seen riding a
donkey, while another man is
driving a Cadillac.
Keep Population Down
A survey by the Rockefeller
Foundation showed that 90 per
cent of the population suffered
from vilharsia, a disease which
comes from unclean water. Cairo
has one of the finest medical set
ups in the world, and doctors can
cure, and even prevent the dis
ease.
However,. they would rather let
it continue, Dr. Silva explained,
because they say they have to
keep the population down because
of a lack of food.
Dr. Silva said she had been told
that doctors felt it is better if
people died of vilharsia than to
.let them die by starvation.
