FROM THE DIRECTOR’S REPORT FOR DECEMBER
"It scarcely seems possible that one half of our period in Cairo has gone by and that ere long we shall have to -be pay-ing visits to the shipping companies to enquire about sailings for home. That is a reminder that tomorrow we had better begin our rounds of leaving cards at Embassies and Institutions for the New Year. To you at home it seems a silly custom, but out here there Is still much of the □European tradition, and It makes for good relations if we observe such customs. December, like November, has been a month of phenomenal weather. Never do we remember a December of so many dull days or so many days of rain, not heavy rain but Just miserable drizzle, quite unlike Egypt we knew of old. January has begun better. It is cold but bright and cheerful and invigorating.

Since our last letter was sent to you, the Directorship of the Center has shifted from w. s. Smith to Arthur E. R. Boak, of the University of Michigan. Dr. Smith left Egypt in January, met Professor Boak In Rome, and acquainted him with the operations of the Center so that upon his arrival in Cairo, on February loth, he was well-prepared to carry on. A final report of the Centerا s activities under the aegis of Dr. Smith must wait upon his return to good health, as unfortunately soon after his arrival in the States he was hospitalized. As of this writing. Dr. Smith is making good progress toward recovery and I am sure that all members will join with me in wishing him a speedy return to good health. A report from Director Boak will form part of our next newsletter.

’’The 1953-54 season has been the best tourist season in Luxor since the ar, but strangely enough, we have seen fewer Egyptologists than usual. No excavation, went on since the French Institute is still unable to resume, and the Department of Antiquities did no excavating as such. M. Chewierاs work at Karnak was concentrated on removing the mass of fallen blocks up against the west face of the left (north)tower of the Second Pylon. These loose blocks have been entirely removed now and work can begin toward consolidating the tower.
In this mass of blocks M. Chevrier found, for example, blocks with the cartouches of Horemheb which had been recut by Seti و Ramses تد and IV. Also beneath the pile, there was the broken but very nice, nearly life-size, red granite statue presumably of Queen Henuttawy. It had stood literally on the insteps of the colossal standing statue of the High Priest Pinodjem son of Plankh, the parts of which were found last season.

"May Is the month of garden parties and receptions, the last fling, as it were, of the social world, before folk begins to move out of town for the summer months. There has been a lifting of some currency restrictions for local sub-Jects wanting to go abroad for the summer. For the last few years, the amount of money they were allowed to take out of the country was so limited that It restricted the number who went abroad, but indications are that this summer there will be a considerable exodus. Syria and Lebanon complained bitterly last summer at the very limited number of visitors they had at their summer resorts. The summer exodus from Egypt has always been predominantly to the north, but we have heard quite a number of folk speaking of flying south to Uganda, Rhodesia, Tanganyika or Eritrea, for their summer vacation. It seems that there are now places there with quite good accommodation for visitors which are making a bid for the summer vacation trade.
