Echo, 30 July 1946: DIRTY WATER CAUSES ‘LAZY’
DISEASE. [struggle in life among] Egyptian felahin,
according to Major WHA Farndale, in a talk to Lincoln Rotarians yesterday,
on life in the Middle East, is due to a disease called “bilharzia”, known
to the troops as Bill Harris’s disease, contracted by washing in dirty canal
water. If the Egyptians could break themselves of this .. habit, he said, the
disease could be conquered and Egypt would become a powerful nation worthy of
its ancestors… He explains that the felahin working
near the Nile, where the land was extensively irrigated, had some of the
richest soil in the world to cultivate. The soil was so rich that clover often
yielded 50 to 60 tonnes to the acre over a period of a few month …. 80% of the felahin, he added, caught the “bilharzia” disease through a
germ getting into their blood. “They catch this disease because they will use
the canals as a sewer and then wash themselves in it …. A snail in the water
stores up the deadly germs.” Rotarian G H Hes
proposed the vote of thanks... and offered the club's congratulations to the
speaker's father, Rotarian the Rev W E Farndale, on his election as president
of the Methodist Church.
Lincolnshire
Echo, 8 August 1946: EGYPTIAN LIFE. Sir. In reply to
the letter by Captain Borrell on the report of my recent talk to the Rotary Club,
I am glad to see that he shares with me an interest in Egypt. I agree with him
on many of the points to which he referred and indeed mentioned some of them in
my talk. Lack a space, however, prevented the Echo including my references to
the courtesy and hospitality of the people, the two social classes, the work of
the poor, and their religion, the easy and frequent divorces, and other
characteristics. As he will readily recognise, a 20 minutes talk on the Middle
East, covering, as it did, a sketch of impressions relative to South Africa,
Egypt and Greece, could not be expected to enlarge in detail up on any one of
these countries. My facts and deductions with regard to the disease of
bilharzia were checked and confirmed by scientific workers of the highest
repute. To state a scientific fact and show its implications is not to be
unfriendly, but rather to show the way to an improvement in the health, vigour
and well-being of so many of those unfortunate Egyptians who do suffer from
this disease. W A J Farndale. London.
