Moustafa Farroukh is dead
The oil grew scant unto dryness... and the tender lamp went out — the artist Moustafa Farroukh is dead — as though the last years of his short life had been a troubling dream that broke his rest and the rest of his family and his friends.. He played his part with surpassing fidelity in
the great tragedy of the arts... And yesterday his soul returned, fluttering, to its Lord, leaving behind a faithful wife, a handful of little ones, a house heaped with paintings — and a decoration!..
Ever since "Gulnar" came out, our poet Michel Trad has been in a crush and a whirl arranging and ordering his new diwan "Doulab" — revising and copying out, then copying out and revising, and going round with his wheel among the publishing and printing houses and the paper shops to pick out the superior grade that suits his poetry!
After a long circuit he has at last settled on printing his diwan at Dar al-Kitab. He has in fact begun correcting the first pages of "Doulab" — and Michel says it is the product of a quarter of a century!.. So what delectable poetic dainties await us in "Doulab"?
The Lebanese Child-Welfare Society is preparing to celebrate Children's Week (March 18–24), which is this year's Children's Day — a traditional custom the society has kept up for twenty years, that is, since its founding. Mrs. Zahia Salman and the members of her society take care that the week's radio programs retain their instructive character, so that this year too they may have their good effect on the hearts of the citizens, and the efforts expended in the cause of child welfare in Lebanon may be redoubled. To this end the society is cooperating with the National Rehabilitation Committee at the American University in holding an exhibition under the patronage of the First Lady, Mrs. Zalfa Chamoun, in which all the institutions working in the field of childhood will take part, together with the various kindergartens in the capital and beyond it.
