The predicator was Norman Win- slow, &aiem aiiorney, icaiureu speaker at the eighth annual YMCA dinner held in Roseburg Thursday evening at the First Methodist Church. Winslow attended the centennial observance of the organization held in Paris, France, last sum mer. He believes the YMCA is making a wonderful contribution toward saving civUization. The conference, he opined, "shows all of us that we do have shrunken world." He said the YMCA is helping shrink it, and added there would never be any war "if we understand everybody." The 22nd world conference of the association drew 10,000 persons from 78 countries. All races and creeds were represented. Winslow said it had been his experience that such conferences bring togeth er outstanding workers. A major point of the centennial, he said, was the fact there is a C in YMCA. He noted a most important revival with Christians approving the YMCA. Likewise, he stressed the import ance of the association being a "lay organization." The organiza tion future depends on laymen, he continued. "In the next 100 years it will need lots of people like your Don Naden. Each member has to share fel lowship around the world, he not ed. As examples, he cited the spirit of comradery prevailing at the.cen tennial. Conference goers, too, were inspired by a message sent to them from behind the "Iron Curtain." It came from Czecho slovakia, and, to misdirect those opposed to YMCA beliefs it had been sent to "The Society of the Gospel, Palace of Sports, Paris, France." Simply, the note expressed "good luck" to those present. The Salem board member observed that the Y "was not dead there." Speaker Winslow was introduced by new President William Green.

Arms For Middle East Become Major Issue (Continued from Page One) sure that the Canadian government approved an Egyptian order for 15 training planes, the first three of which were shipped last week end. A Tel Aviv newspaper said Syria has contracted for 100 tanks and other weapons from Communist Czechoslovakia. In Washington, the U. S. State Department must make a decision on an Israeli request for American arms made late last year. Consid eration of this request was sus pended while the Security Council debated the Syrian charges against Israel. An appointment with Sec retary ot Mate Dulles to learn the U. S. decision has been asked by Israeli Ambassador Abba Eban, but no date has been fixed. An Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman in Jerusalem protested the Security Council's unanimous adoption of a resolution concern ing Israel for the Dec, 11 attack on Syrian positions on the Sea of Galilee. He said the council's vote disregarded "the unceasing cam paign of assault and siege against Israel." t The tension in Palestine, the spokesman claimed, is the respon sibility of Israel's Arab neighbors : who. he said, are ignoring their U. N. Charter obligations in con- ducting "uninterrupted attacks on the life and property of Israeli citizens and in encroachments on the state's sovereign rights." I E. J. Nitschke M:D. Paul H.
