Amer Mounir Takieddine

Whenever Sheikh Mounir Takieddine, director general of National Defense, was asked about the expected baby, he would answer at once: I want a brother for Ziad, so that he will not be left alone among Joumana, Jinan, and Zeina!

Sheikh Mounir's wish came true with the arrival of "Amer"... at the hands of Dr. Mustafa Khalidi, on August 5 last.

The lively Amer devours his milk in the Baakline manner!—and he takes after his father... not only in looks... but in delicacy of feeling and a taste for poetry.. And so his name had to be enrolled in the "circle of the magazine Shi'r"!

A thousand welcomes to Amer Takieddine!
