June 'to the by. Jeff CHAPPAQUA— (Editor's Note: Here is anoth er in the series of letters Ro bert Mygatt has sent to his par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Philip My gatt of Hardscrabble Road. Ro bert is Horace Greeley High School's representative in the AFS program and is spending the summer with a family in Damascus, Syria). Hello again - Today is the fifth day of the curfew but they have just announced that it has been lifted so, since I have this chance, I will write a little more to my old letter then mail them together. Postage is so expen sive. Since I last wrote you about the situation little has happen ed except for the announcement of some 20 or more executions that have taken place. Also, we found jout that an estimated total of some 170 people have been killed and 500 plus would- ed—as you can see it was no picnic over here. The town of Damascus has been absolutely dead for the last couple of days due to the curfew. Usually in the morning, starting at about 6 a.m., sales men start calling their wares in the street. There is one man for everything — melons, corn, bread, garbage, junk, ice cream: just about anything passes in front of your door sometime during the day. They wake you up with their harsh voices and the rattle of their carts on the pavement. But since the curfew not a soul has been on the streets—com plete silence! At first it was very restful, but then it came to be a symbol of lazy sleep that the city had fallen into. So the curfew went - no noise not allowed out of the house for four straight days. All we did was laze around - I am sure glad I had my exercise or else it would have been a com plete waste of time. But I did learn one nice thing. I learned how to play \trump'.' and am now beginning bridge. They both are a lot of fun but bridge takes much in the line of con centration. But we have had a lot of time so I have been able to learn carefully. Curfew Lifted Well, today, finally, they an- Chappaqua Teachers ART TEACHER CHAPAQUA— Miss Jill A.

They are opening it from 8 in the morning to 9 in the night. At least we will be able to get back to a daily schedule. About the clothes. All is fine we do our own laundry by hand! The family is rather low on in come. Also they feel it is more important to spend the money on essential things like food than on luxuries. No shorts are worn over here so I guess it is too bad we got all those shorts. About our sports activities • it appears that mountain climb ing, tennis and swimming are either a rarity or a never. The tennis court is so far away that it is almost impossible to get to. Mountains are here but the people are too lazy to go climb them. Also my brother Sari ha tee to swim, but Wadin does so we do go swimming once in a while. The AFS Committee is run by one guy and a bunch of ith- ers (our families) so our activi ties are quite limited because it is a new group and at times they don't all quite agree. But when I am with the family it is great. We have wonderful talks about all sorts of things. I think I have learned much about life, myself - and others. I must go now.
