Stanton Turner is a man who speaks of the Far East in general and the Philippines in particular with the easy fami liarity most of us can show only when discussing our home town. This is not a bit surprising, in view of the fact that Turner, now 77, has spent most of his adult life living and working with the people of the Philip pines. Physically a big man, Turner has retained the erect posture, penetrating gaze and firm speak ing voice of the natural leader. He speaks slowly and carefully, weighing each sentence and pol ishing every phrase before it is uttered. His thinning hair is sandy rather than gray, with touches of its original black col oring. During his 37 years in the Philippines, first as director of the YMCA movement there and later as chief fundraiser for money to rebuild Y structures after the war, Turner developed a genuine admiration for the people of the island nation. "They were the first people lo carry out a revolution against a colonial power," Turner said during an interview Monday. "Their urge for frccdon goes back hundreds of years." And today. Turner declared, Trucker Asks $220,054 In Damages A damage suit asking nearly a quarter of a million dollars was filed by a Eugene trucker in Lane County Circuit Court Friday. Richard E. Bennett, of 1236 Melvina Way, seeks a total of $220,054 in damages from S & W Fine Foods, a California firm, and an S&W truck driver for injuries he says he received in a 1961 accident. Bennett's suit claims his log truck was struck from behind by a truck driven by Joe John Pimental, an S & W employe, on Franklin Boulevard near the Villard Street intersection in Eugene. The accident occured Oct. 30, 1961. The suit alleges Bennett re ceived disabling back and spine injuries and that a diabetic con dition was aggravated by the accident. He seeks $210,000 general damages and $10,054 for loss of wages and medical treatment. 8,000 Visit Fairgrounds, Scout Show A "real fine crowd" of ap proximately 8,000 people visited the Boy Scout Skill Show at the Lane Count;- Fairgrounds Fri day and Saturday, Scout Execu tive George Alexander reported Monday. Alexander said he estimated the total to be somewhat higher than in previous years when the show has been in the Cow Palace. This year the Skill Show booths were set up in the agri cultural building and the audi torium. Boy and Explorer Scouts in this area are looking forward to the next main spring event the weekend camporces. All troops and posts participate in these competitive camp-outs, Alexander said.

Speaker 1 jfifeC E. S. TURNER Many Years in The Far East the Republic of the Philippines is the "advance guard of the frontiers of freedom and demo cracy in Asia." Turner is in Engene to speak at a Central Lane YM-YWCA banquet Tuesday night in behalf of a world wide "Buildings for Brotherhood" program of Y ex pansion. He docs not hesitate to give the Y credit for at least part of the strength of democra cy in the Philippines. "At one time," he said, "some Miss Eugene Contest Entries Wanted If you're female, single, talented, pretty, have a good per sonality, and between 18 and 28 years old, the Eugene Junior Chamber of Commerce wants you to enter the Miss Eugene contest. The Jaycees are now accepting entries for the contest to be held May 24 at South Eugene High School. Deadline for enter ing is May 3. A semi-final event will be held prior to the main event to narrow the field to about ten contestants. . The winner will receive a number of prizes and the right to represent Eugene in the Miss Oregon contest at Seaside in. June. The Miss Oregon winner, in turn, will go to Atlantic City j in September for the Miss America pageant. The contest is open to all Eugene area girls and Univer sity of Oregon students who meet the above qualifications. The contest winner must plan to live in Eugene for at least a year after the contest. Each finalist will appear in bathing suit and evening gown and must perform some sort of talent exhibition.

KOPPERLD SHARON GODARD Six seniors three from Springfield High School and three from Thurston High School are finalists in the Miss Springfield Pageant. A spokesman for the Springfield Junior Chamber of Commerce, which is spon soring the pageant, said Mon day there may be up to four more finalists selected this week. The contest will be held May 17 at Thurston High School. The six finalists an nounced Monday are Elaine F. Kopperud, 17, Sharon Marie Godard, 17. and Lana Gay Iverson, 18, all of Springfield High School, and Darline Helen Lambert, 18, Diane Lee Nelson, 18, and Donna Marie Davis, 18, all of Thurston High School. The winner of the Miss Springfield contest will rep resent the community in the Miss Oregon Pageant at Sea tide in June. Miss Spring : field will also receive a scholarship and wardrobe. Miss Kopperud. the daugh 1 ter of Mr. and Mrs. James : Kopperud, 1141 Pleasant St., ' is 5 feet. 6 inches tall. Her ' measurements are 36-2.V38. i The 130 pound blonde pl)l Hails , 60 per cent of the common wealth legislature of the islands had either lived in a YMCA or had been Y members. And the president of the Philippines in 1952 attributed much of the strength of his cabinet to the fact that many had been in the Y program." After his "retirement" in 1952, Turner returned to the Far East on a survey mission for the Ford Foundation, and has been back eight times since then. He was impressed with the industrial growth of Japan, but he expressed a measure of dis appointment in the disparity of U.S. aid to that country and to the Philippines. "Japan gets more U.S. as sistance every year," he said, "than has been given in total to the Philippines. And the Fili pinos were our strongest ally in the Pacific when we were fighting the Japanese." This country- provided only one-eighth of 1 per cent of the cost of rebuilding the Phil ippines after the Japanese oc cupation, Turner said, but the nation nevertheless made "marked progress" in the pro cess of industrialization. "Over 700 new factories have been built in Manila alone since the war," Turner said. "And the future is promising." The Tuesday night banquet is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. and is priced at $2 per plate.
