in the past used to reach one
answer: nothing..

Suggestions and Opinions..
Every day, some letters arrive at the eighth page, some in the form of suggestions and others in the form of opinions and thoughts for publication, and some are prepared for meeting and admiration. This is in addition to the influx of friends and the presence of friends at the management to present their opinions and suggestions, and if only their longings were written. This interest indicates concern and is therefore vital and necessary, like the vitality and necessity of the - Woman's - corner, which men read before women, and which one reader observes is too much for the page. In fact, it is not much but rather little, as evidenced by the fact that women have become equal to men in all fields and have completed all the conditions to stand by his side, especially regarding the symbolic salary she will receive as a substitute for not enlisting in the flag service!!
Hussein Haider
Reflections
Work
Years of continuous work, during which he did not enjoy a vacation taken by his choice. When he abstained, he fell ill as soon as he enjoyed it. It was as if the illness did not find him free for it.
He did not suffer from his illness, because he was familiar with his work, fearing that his successor would not manage it well.
Another, who was paralyzed, invented a job for himself that he could manage while seated, a job to help him with his condition and to strengthen his resolve. A third, I see him climbing two ladders every day, in two places, to practice his work that he is proud of, and what he gained for completing it.
In our story, work distracts him from illness!
In our story, illness does not distract him from work!
Ourselves.. those who do not work!
North
The gnats and the heat did not leave him the choice between sleeping in the room and sleeping on the roof. Therefore, he left the roof without regret and slept in the room, bearing the additional expense of the fan as it turned through the night.
I said: I am waiting for the extreme heat and the gnats' leaves, to flee from them to where there is no heat and no gnats.
I was asked: Where? Is it paradise?
I said: No.. and yes!
No, if you wish to define the term literally.
And yes, if you accept naming the North as paradise metaphorically.

Sophia Loren
The Priest's Wife
Sophia Loren is participating in a new film whose events take place in Padua in northern Italy. The film depicts the lives of priests in the Catholic sect. It deals with the issue of priests marrying or not marrying, which is an issue that is still being discussed back and forth in the Vatican City and religious circles in various parts of the world. Sophia Loren plays the role of a singer wearing a mini and singing Beatles songs. The film is produced by Sophia's husband, Carlo Ponti, and Marcello Mastroianni co-stars with her in the role of the priest. And the name
Jacqueline Onassis finally arrived in Boston coming from Europe to attend the annual meeting of the John Kennedy Foundation.
She said upon her arrival that she would meet Edward Kennedy during her stay in Boston, then travel after that to New York to see her children Caroline and little John.
The film: The Priest's Wife.
Directed by filmmaker Dino Risi, the subject of the film is undoubtedly a prominent and sensitive subject, especially at this stage - and because of this sensitivity, the film is expected to follow a path obstructed by many difficulties.
As for Sophia Loren's latest films, it was the film "Sunflower" - by Verazzoni - and it is currently showing in its third month, directed for her by Vittorio De Sica. Her role in it is the same role she played in many films; in fact, her role was a mixture between her role in the film - Marriage Italian Style - and - Two Women - which were also directed by De Sica.
Perhaps Sophia will win an Oscar for the film "The Priest's Wife," and that will undoubtedly show her with another high capability that she has not yet shown to the audience.
From... Outside
New York Artists
A large group of artists in New York demanded the closure of all museums in the city for two weeks in protest against the American war in Indochina.
The artists threatened to withdraw all their works from these museums if the authorities did not respond to this request.. These artists intend to hold a meeting to coordinate their activity to carry out a campaign against the American war in Southeast Asia, and the TASS agency, which broadcast the news, mentioned the artists of the School of Fine Arts in New York.
Anthony Quinn
In the role of Mussolini
The secret of Santana Fossia is a story set in Italy during World War II. The hero of the story is Bombolini - Anthony Quinn - who can hide a million bottles of wine from the eyes of the German army. Anna Magnani co-stars in the role of Bombolini's wife.
Helicopters and Physical Laws
They used to say that supersonic helicopters contradict physical laws.. Lockheed Aircraft Company says that in 1980 it will provide the sky with a supersonic helicopter..
The Effect of Drugs on Society
A team of British scientists who studied the future of medical science using the Delphi method announced that the year 1975 will be the year of the arrival of - Social Chemistry - and these scientists estimated that from the mentioned date, people will take doses of drugs permanently or periodically to ensure their entry and harmony with the reality of their society.
Medicines and drugs will be a burden on humanity because if the human body gets used to taking a certain type of substance, it is difficult for a person to leave it. The use of drugs will be like we now use tobacco, coffee, and alcohol, and people will use some drugs less dangerous than marijuana and LSD within the next ten years. And people will get used to the occasion of
nerve-relaxing or painkillers, and since 1975, medical substances will be invented that help with work, study, and cultural harmony, but the benefit or harm of these drugs will not be known until after ten years or more when their results are confirmed.
These scientists predict that these drugs will have their own problems.
Mobile Homes in Summer!..
When the last ice crystal melts in Europe, people start thinking seriously about traveling, so they plan trips to warm seas during which they use cars that include all means of comfort and hospitality. If you are in the south of France, for example, and you start looking for a room to stay in for one night, you hear nothing from the hotel manager but his saying:
- Complet - meaning we have no place.
Car companies are thinking seriously about providing comfortable cars in which a family can spend a week or two outside the house. The car whose
plan you see is 26 feet long and they call it the - Mobile Home of the Future - and it is designed to provide comfort, safety, and convenience. This car contains a refrigerator, television, and radio, and has insulated walls so that the interior of the car is not affected by weather fluctuations. A somewhat spacious place has been prepared to be a kitchen attached to a sink for cooking utensils, and there is a bathroom as well. As for the small dining table, it can be turned into a bed after finishing with it. In the bus, there is also a water tank with a capacity of 15 gallons.
There are other cars offered for sale that carry a tent of suitable size so that the family can set up its tent in the place it wants.
The Flying God of Palenque
- Chariots of the Gods - a story by Erich von Däniken translated into 14 languages. It was recently made into a film that can best be described as a documentary, as it records many archaeological sites in the world where gods played the roles of astronauts. The top image is of the - Flying God of Palenque - in Peru in Latin America, and the author tries in his story to prove that - most things happened in the past - and that the gods of our ancestors visited us from other planets. As for the gods recorded in
pictured in the burial chamber in the Mexican temple, it is assumed that they came from other stars.
Discovery of an Archaeological Area in the Soviet Union

Muthaqqaf (Educated) or Musaqqaf (Roofed)?!
In the Arabic language, there are words with different pronunciations and different meanings that were formed as a result of different dialects while having the same origins. For example, we mention the word - Zaki - which developed into a - proper noun - in addition to its meaning, and originally it is the word - Dhaki (Intelligent) -. But some dialects that pronounce the letter - Dh - as - Z - made the adjective - correct - as - Zaka' -.
And there is the letter - Th - which is often pronounced - S - especially among Syrians and Lebanese, for example where they pronounce - Habas - and two - Asnan - and - Muthaqqaf - cleaned - Musaqqaf -.
From here we want to say, does Musaqqaf replace Muthaqqaf and does each word have its own meaning? And what is this meaning? And how will it develop and what is the degree of knowledge described by the Muthaqqaf and what is the knowledge at which the Musaqqaf stops?
If we link the word Musaqqaf to the Saqf (roof), we can consider the Muthaqqaf as the one who possesses limitless knowledge and knowledge, and no - wall or roof - stands between him and the dimensions of science. As for the Musaqqaf, he is the one between whom and the loftiness of science stands a roof of pride, vanity, and illiteracy, so that he ends the horizons of science and knowledge, believing that he has reached the knowledge of everything. On this scale, we can say that these are a professor and an artist and a Musaqqaf professor, and so-and-so is a Muthaqqaf lawyer and just a Musaqqaf lawyer. This one his people educated (Thaqqafuhu) and that one they roofed (Saqqafuhu).. Then a funny question comes to my mind in light of this analysis, which I do not think is funny.. The question is, what is the percentage of Muthaqqafin in Iraq if measured against the Musaqqafin?!
The optimists will say that the new sons of Iraq are Muthaqqafun.. and they will say that all of them are Musaqqafun.. as for the generations, they will remain lost between the Muthaqqafin and the Musaqqafin.

and the Current Stage
● The Minister of Labor and Social Affairs issued an order to unify the uniforms of female employees working in the ministry and its affiliated departments.
● Previously, the University of Baghdad decided to oblige female students to wear a unified uniform.
● The competent authorities in the Ministry of Interior took the necessary measures to pursue the effeminate youth and those who grow their hair long and took strict measures for that in line with the current stage that our people in Iraq and our Arab nation are going through.
● This is because our current situation must be reflected in the behavior and actions of the people.
● We do not want the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs to apply its order by force.. nor do we like to throw the female student who does not wear the unified uniform outside the doors of colleges and institutes.. and the sight of pursuing effeminate youth and cutting their hair with a zero-grade clipper hurts us.
● We want our young men and women to act with self-awareness that rises to the level of responsibility.
● Our people in Iraq are now fighting a battle at home against colonialism and its henchmen and against economic and social backwardness. And fighting a battle abroad against colonialism and Zionism.
● Youth of both sexes must contribute to this great fateful battle in its coming dimension.
● And we do not ask much of them if we ask them to appear in an appearance worthy of the greatness of our people.. and the glories of our nation.. without instructions.. and orders.. and punishments..

At the conclusion of his speech, he affirmed Iraq's support for the just struggle waged by the people of Laos.

Students .. and the Professor .. and American Affairs
With the expansion of the war in Southeast Asia, the Nixon administration sought to distance itself from student meetings. Vice President Spiro Agnew, speaking to Republicans in Fort Lauderdale, launched another attack on colleges, describing them as circus tents or psychiatric centers for children who enjoy above-average privileges and descend to the depths of lack of discipline and focus, unappreciative of the responsibility of good behavior for the permissive.
At Yale University in New Haven, where a vertical ⟦line⟧ was set up at the last minute on the first day of the week in May against the treatment of the police and the judiciary of the "Black Blacks" - Black Panthers - 5,000 sailors and armed forces were deployed for immediate confrontation of any acts of violence. An official had warned in advance that there would likely be destructive acts of violence and large-scale sabotage against facilities in New Haven. A massive explosion occurred, shattering the glass of one of the buildings at Yale, and a moderate clash took place between protesters and local police, opposed by the National Guard. But Yale did not burn as many had feared. Some Panthers joined Yale students in intervening between bottle-throwers and the police who were using tear gas. Yale was the target, but non-extremist students served, thanks to them, as calm vents for about 12,000 protesters, as if they were on a date for a pleasant weekend of jazz music and the charm of enchanting rhetoric.
Translation by Al-Taakhi
From Time
Judge Julius Hoffman in the conspiracy trial in Chicago. They hoped in an atmosphere of chaos that the university would exert pressure to ensure a fair trial. No one made an effort to endorse the political ideologies or style of the Panthers. Yale President Kingman Brewster appointed a committee to study with resentment the university's reaction to the trial, but he did not personally approve the suspension of studies, preferring that the university remain neutral toward political issues. University members met following that and protested Brewster's action, considering that the university should replace the daughter of these members, claiming they had been used as "intermediaries to stand on neutrality in a dangerous situation." About 15,000 students attended to listen to the teachings urged upon them by New Haven Panther leader Doug Miranda, saying: "Take your power and use it to move the system."
The meetings and what lies behind them - those who have long remained silent regarding the university's plans for employment and construction in a gathering of honest people. A student, the acceptance of Panther Hilliard was met with mockery when he was released on "pig bail." But the black students cheered for him. Thus the meeting ended with the endorsement of the strike. The next day, the most intense students present dropped by a third of the usual number.
Then a strike committee was formed and prepared several demands, all of which came from the complete organization. The organization urged the creation of an agency to monitor Yale's relations with blacks in New Haven, as well as an agreement by which the university must replace the provision of housing facilities during its expansion and supervise the requirements of regular classes during the strike period - its anticipation was clear at the end of the school year.

From: English Science Magazine
Translated by: B. A. M.
The possibility of the existence of large quantities of "anti-matter" in the universe has amazed physicists since (Professor Dirac) deduced its existence forty years ago.
During the past years, high-energy accelerators have been able to produce (anti-protons) with "mirror" properties identical to the ordinary proton. Thus, no doubt remained among physicists regarding the existence of (anti-matter). But when "anti-matter" collides with an ordinary particle, both particles are annihilated and their rest energy is converted into (gamma) radiation. Therefore, it is difficult to imagine the existence of both types in our universe unless they are separated from each other in some way, and this fact is what caused the amazement of scientists regarding the confirmed existence of anti-matter and matter in the universe
at the same time.
Dr. (Gary Steigman) of the "Cambridge Institute of Theoretical Astronomy" recently looked into an attempt to prove the existence of equal amounts of matter and anti-matter in the universe. This idea is good from the point of view of cosmologists (1) because it would indicate the existence of symmetry in the universe, but (Steigman) could not find any evidence to support his theory, and he believes that the (gamma) radiation that would result from the collision of matter with anti-matter in the universe should be thousands of times stronger than what was observed in his experiments, and therefore he saw that the theory must be discarded.
However, (Professor Fred Hoyle) suggested another way to explain Steigman's theory. He suggests that it is possible that most of the (anti-matter) in the universe is concentrated in the center of galaxies and other high-density areas, while ordinary matter
is in the stars and the outer parts of galaxies. With this possibility, the interaction of the two types of matter decreases and increases at the edge of the middle parts of galaxies where (gamma) radiation actually increases.
Although this idea explains the source of the radiation, it loses the previous symmetry of matter and anti-matter because it seems there is less matter than anti-matter in the center of galaxies compared to the outer parts. In any case, it is known that radio galaxies consist of the explosion of matter in their center, and it is possible that these explosions eject anti-matter into (intergalactic) space where we cannot see it.

An Old Dictator in New Clothes
One of the Latin American republics known for its frequent military coups and accompanying acts of violence.
The people of Colombia are preparing to elect a new president from among four candidates, all of whom say they are (conservatives) because they must be so according to constitutional texts!! Three of these candidates belong to the Conservative Party. As for the fourth, he is General (Rojas), the former military dictator of the Republic of Colombia, who has returned to the political stage as a main competitor and was able to mobilize 300,000 of his followers in the streets of the capital for the upcoming electoral battle.
As for the current President of the Republic - Lleras Restrepo - he has, motivated by his fear of General Rojas's power, conducted an electoral tour throughout the country, begging for the people's support for his new candidate, Dr. Misael Pastrana, and he will not rest until he ensures the victory of his aforementioned candidate.
They agreed on the election of a president for the political republic in the country.
Colombian society is violent and harsh to the point of recklessness. All Colombians remember well the ten-year civil war they call (The Revenge War) because of the many acts of violence and cruelty that accompanied it.
That war lasted from 1948 until 1957 between the Liberal and Conservative parties and claimed the lives of 200,000 people. ⟦line⟧
General Rojas emerged in 1953 - as a third force - between the Liberal and Conservative parties, and was able to gather a non-supportive word to build a united state. He was a dictator of a strange type in his inclinations and actions. His excessive build and apparent strength were such that no one escaped the destruction of the most loyal to his army - the enemies - with just a look from him!! And when coffee prices rose in exile - when he was ruling the country - he mishandled treasury funds for personal enrichment. For this reason, the Liberal and Conservative parties found that they had to agree on a single front to stand against this dictator, and the front between them was established in 1957. The front continued to rule the country until 1969.
The rule of the aforementioned front was a title for stability in the country for twelve years. The two parties agreed to share political positions between them, just as
they agreed that the President of the Republic would be from the two parties and the competing candidates, so much so that it was decided for this agreement to last until 1974. However, disagreement crept between them again in 1969 when the Conservatives failed to impose their candidacy for the presidency. General Rojas's supporters do not believe in elections; rather, they are candidates who will work to split the government supporters' votes into three parts, which will make General Rojas's hope of winning the presidency.
The university's replacement of it is the opinion of any beneficiary of the dispute between the Liberal and Conservative parties existing between the Liberal parties, which promised its absolute support, especially since he can win a third of the United Front's votes.
General Rojas, who is fighting the current elections, is not the harsh, reckless general the people of Colombia knew in the past. He now enjoys the support of the Liberal Party and the leftist wings, because of the electoral program he cleverly designed to attract the poor of Colombia. This program includes the nationalization of land and the confiscation of buildings built from the labor of workers. This 70-year-old general is confident of his victory, dreaming of revenge against his enemies, and his active activities call on Colombians to join the ranks of all those who were neglected by previous governments and who suffered much social injustice.
Therefore, General Rojas's strength is represented by the hungry and deprived who were displaced - last year - to the villages of the rich in Suesca and the government stores in "Valle - Cali."

University women talk about
National features of Kurdish dress
Bayan Kaka Mahmoud
Human societies, in their various historical stages and differing economic systems, base their clothing on their environmental conditions and the ethics, ideas, and behavioral values imposed by this environment. Perhaps the geographical nature and the style of production relations for a particular society are considered among the main factors in determining the essential dimensions of national dress, subsequently providing the final patterns for form, color, and subject. In Kurdish society, models of costumes crowd along the Kurdish region that at first glance seem different in their design and details according to what each region imposes of considerations related partially to the thought and aesthetic sense of the residents. However, they
continue to meet in being models of living dress that fulfill the full national features of the Kurdish people and involve at the same time the spirit of self-movement and growth with the growing ethics, ideas, and social connections of the Kurds.
In the midst of the new onslaught of modern fashion, we find ourselves most fearful for
Question
And here the following question repeats on our tongues:
From what angles does the Kurdish girl look at her national dress?.. And is she ready to reconcile between modernization and cultural authenticity in her national dress?
Our costumes embody our way of life
A student in the second grade of
It does not conflict with the requirements of our daily life. We are always advocates of renewal in thought, culture, and the nature of social relations in a way that harmonizes with the reality of our Kurdish society.
It is important to emphasize here that every renewal conflicts with the ideas and characteristics of our national dress so that we truly prove to others that Kurdish dress is a wonderful and integrated image of Kurdish society.
A national symbol for the Kurds
A student in the third grade considers it the right of societies.. all societies
Our mental and moral makeup.
The Kurdish girl, as an active element in our Kurdish society, is called upon to preserve the features of her national dress, and she is now required more than ever to devote a part of her thinking to this aspect so that she truly proves to others that Kurdish dress is a wonderful and integrated image of Kurdish society.
By nature, she loves everything new and modern, and at the same time, she is distinguished by high taste, always wearing bright and attractive colors, taking into account what suits her age and the society in which she lives. She has acquired this taste and soundness in choice from the wonderful nature of our Kurdistan and the harmony of its bright colors.
This is what was confirmed by the student in the College of Arts, Bayan Abdul Karim ⟦illegible⟧, who said that the Kurdish girl always chooses what suits her from modern models, taking into account what suits her environment and social conditions.
Kurdish women's costumes involve vitality and the spirit of growth

The Kurdish girl's position on the wave of modern fashion
Regarding the impact of the wave of modern fashion on the Kurdish girl's position on her national dress, she said: Student in the College of Arts, Bayan Kaka Mahmoud, that the mentality of the Kurdish girl in civilized society may be driven to some extent behind the appearances of readiness and elegance of modern dress, but this fact is completely unable to distract us Kurds from attachment and interaction with the splendor and beauty of our national costumes that bind us at every moment with the reality of the feelings and emotions of the citizens of Kurdistan and their aspiration for everything that is beautiful and harmonious.
Pushed by it to decide to support the national features in her dress and spread it among the ranks of society..?
A student in the first grade - Kurdish from the College of Arts, Naeema Majeed, says: I am one of the supporters of the necessity of the Kurdish student wearing her national dress in university classes. Despite the attractiveness of this dress and the harmony of its colors, it is modest compared to the modern costumes of which we see several forms on the university campus. She adds, I am one of the advocates for consensus on this fact to emphasize our national identity, at least among our female colleagues. I expect that this procedure will be an embarrassment for a certain sector of girls and may not be successful as required, but pride in national heritage is what guarantees the factors of success for it.
As for the student in the first grade - Kurdish from the College of Arts, Surour Zangana, she says: I do not see any objective measure in the necessity of the Kurdish girl continuing her studies in her national costumes because of the intensity of their colors and the strangeness of their designs for university students in general, which will be a reason for provoking the curiosity of some and their comments, which would be more than if we wore a miniskirt or a maxiskirt.
Although we are still far from using such two outfits, we are exposed at every moment to a lot of intrusion and even harassment. So how would it be if we made our ceilings a table from which we fear various types of colors with brilliance, radiation, and beauty that dazzles the eye.
Art
A step towards building a Kurdish theater
Jaafar Ali
These words are not a press article or a bouquet of wishes we hope for the Kurdish theater. The following lines are practical suggestions for reviving the theatrical movement in the mountainous regions of Kurdistan, and investing in Kurdish folk heritage, all for the sake of enriching theatrical literature there. We proceed in this emphasis on the importance of theater from the fact that it is a powerful media tool on both artistic and educational levels, and from the fact
that theater can crystallize the popular will.
When we look for the first step on the path to building Kurdish theater, the state's artistic institutions seem to be the relevant parties responsible for this new construction. This is the reality. The artistic institutions, headed by the Cinema and Theater Establishment in the Ministry of Culture and Information, the Directorate of Fine Arts in the Ministry of Education and Youth, the popular theaters in the Ministry of Youth, the Institute of Fine Arts in the Ministry of Education, and the Academy of Fine Arts at the University of Baghdad, these institutions
are primarily responsible for the process of building Kurdish theater now.
But one look at the reality of these institutions makes us disregard them all. Because they are - complex, without money - and a harsh job, routine almost limits these institutions as civilized tools unable to work in their wide dimensions. Therefore, the first step on the path of this construction must start from other than these institutions.
I have known the theater, there are licensed private theater groups. I will not say that all these theater groups can perform this task in this regard. But I am sure that some of these groups can put the movement in a practical path for it. But the question is to say that today's group has studied the subject of contributing to the building of Kurdish theater and put a complete plan for that? I am ready waiting for the start signal. However, these private initiatives remain deficient if they are not based on basic planning put into implementation in the Kurdish regions. It seems clear that this theatrical plan must be an essential part of the process of rebuilding and developing the North.

For You
Civilization is not things that can be collected in museums of human history, but it is behavior above all else, behavior and a moral stance towards the world, man, and his problems.
The task of the playwright is to ask questions, not to answer them.
From the definitive experiences of our generation, it has become clear that it is possible for some humans who understand the ethics of theater and read Gide and Shakespeare, to be butchers at the same time.
I knew a person who could play such music brilliantly, that was before the war before we became enemies. We considered ourselves friends. He used to talk about music until he dazzled everyone with intelligence and originality, with a deep inner feeling, understanding, with a deep inner feeling.
Yet he is the same person who shot hundreds of old people and burned women and children, the same deep inner feeling - do we understand? The deep inner feeling!
From the play Don Juan Loves Geometry:
Do not be sad, for we will lose much good, everything is without a reason. Death, life, and the stars in the sky are also without a reason, so is there another possibility?
And love?
Love is beautiful
Tell me, father, is love also without a reason?
Love is beautiful, my little one, it was from the beginning. Love alone is the one that does not look for a reason.

Forum
About theater affairs in the Arab world
During the past years, many seminars were held in the countries of the Great Arab Maghreb to study the issues of modern Arab theater.
There is no doubt that every country tried to encompass the most important problems that hindered the development of theatrical work, the expansion of its horizons, and the renewal of its methods.
Our need has intensified today to exchange experiences and present problems in a forum whose idea of organizing has long fermented in a large number of those interested in the Arab world and its theater men.
The International Cultural Center in Hammamet - in fulfillment of this deep desire - thought of organizing a forum that brings together Arab theater men of different orientations so that it would be an opportunity to exchange expertise, present experiences and viewpoints, and study issues in a collective study.

Local News and Comments
Minister of Irrigation gives an interview to "Al-Taakhi" about:
Establishing major projects for irrigation, storage, drainage, and flood control
Dr. Taha Ibrahim Al-Abdullah, Minister of Irrigation, announced to - Al-Taakhi - that the ministry is undertaking many storage and flood control projects.
Mosul Dam
He said that among these projects is the Mosul Dam project, for which the ministry has begun preparing the final designs and necessary contract documents.
The ministry will study and approve the construction of the dam in light of the Tharthar River development project for flood purposes.
The Mosul Dam is located on the Tigris River, about 50 kilometers northwest of the city of Mosul. The dam is an earth-fill dam with a height of 76 meters, and the total storage capacity is 12.3 billion cubic meters. The project also aims to generate electric power with a capacity of 600 megawatts.
Rawa Dam
The Minister said that there is another project to build an earth-fill dam in Rawa with a height of 50 meters to store the waters of the Euphrates River. The project aims to secure irrigation water requirements for the Euphrates River basin, which helps develop agriculture in the region. Its total cost is estimated at about 20 million dinars.
Hamrin Dam
The ministry will also build an earth-fill dam with a height of about 60 meters at the intersection of the Hamrin mountain range with the Diyala River, 60 kilometers north of the fixed Diyala Dam. The storage capacity is 1.20 billion cubic meters, and the cost of building the dam is estimated at 12 million dinars.
Connecting the Marshes
Dr. Al-Abdullah spoke about another project, saying that digging has begun on a canal 40 kilometers long with a capacity of 500 cubic meters per second. This project, located near the city of Amara, aims to connect Hor al-Hammar with Hor Abdullah to relieve the increasing pressure on the Shatt al-Arab from the Tigris, Euphrates, Karun, and Suwaib rivers, by discharging flood waters directly into the Arabian Gulf.
Designs for bridges and regulators are currently being prepared by the concerned authorities.
The total cost of this project is about five million dinars.
Irrigation and Drainage Projects
The Minister listed a number of projects included in the ministry's five-year plan for irrigation and drainage, including the Nabila project with a cost of about three million dinars, the Eski Kalak project with a cost of about two and a half million dinars, the project to improve irrigation and drainage in the Kirkuk - Hawija - Adhaim area, the Ishaqi irrigation and drainage project, the Middle Diyala and Lower Diyala area project, the Mandali irrigation project, the Badra - Jassan - Zurbatiya irrigation project, the project to improve irrigation and drainage in the Musayyib area, the Dujail drainage project, the repair and drainage of the Gharraf area, the irrigation and drainage project for the Hilla - Diwaniyah - Daghara area, the Rumaitha drainage project, the reclamation project, the Yusufiya - Abu Ghraib - Latifiya drainage project, the Greater Musayyib project, the Hilla - Kifl drainage project, the Husseiniya - Bani Hassan drainage project, the Diwaniyah - Daghara drainage project, the Rumaitha project, the improvement of irrigation and drainage in Kifl - Shinafiya - Shamiya, the improvement of irrigation and drainage in the Shattra - Nasiriyah - Hor al-Hammar area, the Greater Musayyib project in the Euphrates, and the Shatt al-Arab project.
The Minister concluded his talk by saying that there are other projects under study and implementation, and others under study and design.
Spotlights
on Events
Leisure Time
Between Science, Art, and Literature
The Directorate of Scientific Care has decided to open three-month courses in the branches of: Astronomy, Electricity, Aviation, Photography, and Nature Pioneers.
The purpose of these courses is to provide opportunities for students to benefit from the summer vacation period to develop their scientific talents and carry out useful activities during that period.
The matter is good; rather, it is a clear step for the youth, and it helps in discovering talents and creating scientific cadres for the future.
What is required is for this matter to go beyond the scope of scientific branches.
The Directorate of Scientific Care is not responsible, of course, for non-scientific branches, but with its curriculum, it provides a good model for work and takes an initiative that is not bad for other parties to follow.
Artistic and literary branches are no less important, in our opinion, than scientific branches at this stage of young people's lives.
Drawing, sculpture, and the study of history, language, and the like are also a need to rescue youth from emptiness... to form conscious cultural cadres.
It has been the custom until now that both scientific and non-scientific branches leave the youth to their own independent management and orientations during their vacations.
If the Directorate of Scientific Care has directed its attention and gathered the energies of youth towards scientific activity, we have the right to ask: Where are the other parties? And where are the non-scientific branches? Why are they still in a state of total, comprehensive stagnation?
If we demand attention to arts and literature and the mobilization of youth towards individual and collective cultural activities, it is only a societal need for culture and awareness.
The emptiness for youth in these cultural branches, for example, is the same as that which the Directorate of Scientific Care suffers from regarding scientific talents, but we emphasize that the need there is no less than the need here, as both ultimately lead to building personal capacity, awareness, and understanding of the urgent needs of society.
What is required is for there to be artistic and literary care for the youth.
Release of Wool Transport to the North
The Animal Products Trade Regulation Service issued a decision to release the transport of "Hulasa" and "Akk" wool to the Northern Region.
This came in a statement issued by the aforementioned service, which stated: In view of the stabilization of conditions in the Northern Region and the establishment of peace there... and for the purpose of providing the opportunity for those dealing in animal products - wool - to carry out their business and to meet the needs of local factories for this wool, and to encourage the folk industry of our Kurdish brothers, and based on the authority vested in us, we have decided to cancel instructions No. 10-11 and release the shipping and transport of wool to all northern regions.
Personnel Affairs
On Retirement
The Ministry of Finance decided to refer three employees to retirement at their request: Messrs. Abdul Rahman Hamoudi Al-Shunaif, observer in the General Treasury Directorate with a salary of 54 dinars; Amin Ahmed Al-Adhami, Director of Audit in the General Directorate of Customs and Excise with a salary of 60.6 dinars; and Nour Al-Din Munir Al-Din, attaché in the General Income Tax Directorate.
The Ministry of Education decided to refer Mr. Shukri Mahmoud Ahmed, Arabic language teacher at Al-Nidal Secondary School in Rusafa, to retirement at his request.
Use of Radar in
Controlling External
Roads
The Transport and Traffic Police will use radar to control external roads as part of its plan to regulate the prescribed speed on these roads.
The Director of Transport and Traffic Police announced this and said that contacts are currently underway with specialized companies to review the offers submitted for study and to state their characteristics. The Director of Transport and Traffic explained that these devices can measure the speed of a car from a distance of 1400 meters, and specialized courses will be trained on using these devices as soon as they arrive. In conclusion, he said that his department is very interested in this subject given the importance of these devices in helping to control car speed and reduce accidents on these roads. Officials also expressed support for speeding up the completion of the radar.
The Iraqi Delegation to the Meetings of the Boards of Governors of the World Bank,

This Child
He is two and a half years old and suffers from polio, and his desire for a grant is about to wither. His father spent everything he owned on him and has not reached a result yet. The father is a worker who no longer has anything to spend to save his child's life. He appeals to people of nobility and chivalry. We join our voice to his. Perhaps there is someone in humanity who can participate in restoring life to this withered bud. We await your chivalry, O people of chivalry.

Symposium on Speech Affairs - Continued
Essential from different angles.
In order to embody this idea
and after conducting consultations with those interested
in theater affairs in Tunisia, the International Cultural Center
resolved to realize
this project. It requested material and literary assistance
from UNESCO. An agreement was reached
to send invitations to Arab experts
and experts from both shores of the Mediterranean
on the Mediterranean Sea so that
they may participate in a symposium held at the International
Cultural Center in Hammamet from May 25
to 30, dealing with the research of
the following topic:
Issues of theatrical creation
in our societies moving
on the path of transformation
The preparatory committee for this symposium
was chosen in the summer of this date
after discussing many elements:
- The importance of theatrical creation which
reflects the status of our Arab societies in the
stage of renewing their mental and material structures
and in their political, economic,
cultural, and national scope, and during their struggle
for modernity in order to keep pace with this
era dominated by technology.
- Issues of theatrical writing in
its various forms and choices in
the process of creation and its production.
- Theatrical creation as a result of
the combined individual and collective efforts or
a unified joint collective work.
- The participating audience and the consuming
audience, including methods of involving
the masses in theatrical creation.
The issue of mass communication means
and their decisive role in
developing theatrical work in form and content
and its execution (televised and radio plays).
- Arab theatrical work
and theatrical models in the world.
Furthermore, we hope that every
participant in this symposium talks about his
personal experience or about the experience of the group
to which he belongs.
The International Cultural Center in Hammamet
has invited, for the Arab countries
overlooking the shores of the Mediterranean
the Mediterranean Sea, thirty experts
from theater men, employees, and directors.
In our belief, this limited
number will allow for the deepening of the issues
presented, and the International Center in Hammamet
focused for the Arab countries
presented by the participants, each lasting
forty-five minutes, followed by a discussion. Participants
can present their topics in French or
French, and follow that
with cinematic or audio recordings
lasting no more than half an hour.
Therefore, please send us from each
participant a detailed biography including
his name, surname, and address in clear handwriting
and with a similar image and the study he
wants to deliver at the symposium to the International
Cultural Center in Hammamet (Tunisia)
so that the symposium becomes well-organized.

The Honorable Judge of the Baghdad Court of First Instance
Greetings and respect:
We have reviewed the announcement of your esteemed court published in Al-Taakhi newspaper, issue 442, dated
21 / 5 / 70 regarding the sale of property sequence 1 / 23, Al-Bushibl neighborhood, belonging to the Hebra Qadisha Society.
We present to your esteemed court:-
1 - This property does not belong to the Hebra Qadisha Society, but rather it is an endowment (waqf) for the Mosaic community, the proceeds of which are spent
on the preparation, shrouding, and burial of the dead of the Mosaic faith, in accordance with the endowment deed issued by
the Personal Status Court in Baghdad under number 133 and dated 2 / 9 / 42.
In support of this, we attach a copy of the land registry (Tabu) for the mentioned property with the endowment deed entry on its back.
2 - From studying the deed and the registry copy, it appears that the Hebra Qadisha Society was the trustee (mutawalli) over the mentioned endowment
and not the owner.
3 - Assuming that the mentioned society was the trustee until its dissolution, does the dissolution of the society necessitate the dissolution of
the endowment?
4 - Endowments have special provisions established by law and the true Sharia, and we have not found any text in the law or
jurisprudence that requires the sale of the endowed property due to the removal of the trustee from trusteeship, his dismissal, or his deprivation of disposal.
5 - According to the instructions of the Ministry of Justice published in the Iraqi Gazette in force under number 4104
dated 25 / 2 / 58, the trustee over the mentioned endowment has become the Administrative Committee for Iraqi Jews
(Paragraph 4 of Article Three) of the instructions, and we attach a copy of the referred instructions.
Since the sale of this property is contrary to custom, law, and true jurisprudence, and a gross harm is expected from it
that cannot be remedied or compensated.
Therefore, please take a decision to disregard the sale and hand over the endowment to the trustee (the Administrative Committee)
to manage and spend the proceeds on the beneficiaries.
Please accept our highest respect

Inspection Report of a Vacant Plot
Based on the letter from the Hebra Qadisha Society No. 213 dated 16 / 7 / 48 and referred to us
by the Presidency of the Jewish Community in its footnote No. 715 dated 23 / 7 / 48, which includes
a request to exchange the vacant plot belonging to the Midrash Talmud Torah endowments located in the Al-Bu Shibl neighborhood
with Tapu sequence 1 / 13, we went to the aforementioned site, and after viewing it, it became clear
that it is within a plot vacant of any building and that it is fenced on the side of the road, which is King
Ghazi Street. It is triangular in shape with an area of approximately six square meters. Adding this triangle
to the property of the adjacent Hebra Qadisha Society for the purpose of utilizing it to complete the expansion of the building area
and rebuilding it anew would cost the society exorbitant sums, which is not proportionate to
the expected benefit from this expansion and the expenses spent for it. We suggest, with the guidance of the trustee
of the Midrash endowments, purchasing the car belonging to this plot so that it can be utilized
in a way that benefits the endowment. 25 / 7 / 1948
