HAL OMAR SHAHBEN reports on Egypt's Liberation Province, a vast desert settlement project north of Cairo. Since October, 30 900 workers built green fields costing about 20 million dollars, turning sand into a modern community with brick houses, running water, electricity, schools, hospitals, clubs, social programs, and training to modern farming and livestock aims. The project, led by Premier Gamal Abdel Nasser, aims to end peasant poverty and polygamy while transforming livelihoods and dress, education, and social life for settlers transitioning from mud huts to European-style living.
